So when will there be an announcement?
SARS CoV-2 coronavirus / Covid-19 (No tin foil hat silliness please)
- Thread starter Don't Kill Bill
- Start date
Of all the things you could panic buy, a McDonald's meal...
Until a few weeks, Tomas Pueyo was just another Silicon Valley entrepreneur. He has no background or credentials in this whatsoever.
It might still be an interesting read, but it's a Medium article from a rent-a-mouth, rather than the work of someone who should have any influence whatsoever on what strategies governments should pursue.
Agreed.
spoilsport!
Can you get your hands on one of those Ultraviolet sanitisers they have in the barbers? Will that kill corona?
EDIT: Looks like it'll do the trick:

They should re-air Supersize Me whilst people are stuck home glued to the tv.
My friend who's had the symptoms for the last 2 weeks (fever, cough) has completely lost his appetite and says the taste and smell of food revolts him.
The death rate in the UK is promising at least!
I posted something before I think (not sure if this thread) from an FT piece I read (sheer fluke, don't read FT all the time).
Germany have more tests which include more young people (as opposed to a lot of countries which are priority driven and have a higher % of older people).
More tests = more cases, but
More young people = less deaths (from positive cases)
So death rate lower per case
Is it really terrifying? It sounds an awful lot like having the flu... Because it's a flu virus...
Anyone else got this channel on their telly? No idea where it came from or who's in charge of it. They're playing relaxing music but every time there's an update they're using something resembling the 24 theme song
Neither am I but very considered and statemanlike.
Surely discussing further lockdown
Something you didn't think you'd be saying this spring.
exactly. i can't smell or taste shit when my sinuses are all fecked up.
Doctors in the US basically ruled out Coronavirus because he hadn’t been to China recently
The worrying this is he's not cleared yet, and I think there's about a month since he initially got the symptoms? Does this suggest the virus can lay dormant in cases - similar to HIV?
I reckon the lock down we will see implemented tonight will be the London Boroughs.
I get chronic sinusitis and my taste and smell are nearly always reduced with an attack making them disappear completely. Seems a normal symptom that one might have with this.
Sounds about right, then rest of the country later in the week?
It's not a fecking Influenza virus you plonker.
Tesco staff applauding nhs workers. Quite moving actually.

Another one bites the dust.
Can there be a sticky or a link to somewhere to educate? Getting sick of reading people saying this.
Im not sure - think they might go the whole way and say all non key workers Uk wide are locked down other than pharmacy and food (probably with police manning the supermarkets)
Look at snowdownia etc - think they will lock down the lot for 2 weeks (which will turn into at least 6 - probably more)
How are the police going to staff supermarkets?
I found this on twitter.
Was this comment made on 31st January as it appears?
What is the source?
What is the explanation?
He means guarding the supermarkets, not staffing them.
I constantly have rhinitis, most of Covid19 symptoms are part of what I will experience around this time of the year. It makes me particularly anxious.
No, it's not, but the symptoms are basically the same.. Have you ever actually had the flu?!
Oh I know. But how are they going to do that? You'd need two per supermarket. How many supermarkets are there in the UK?
Italy: 4790 cases, 602 deaths, 408 recovered
What about the army?

Italian government is happy in today's press conference, up to 63927 cases and 6077 deaths, but it's the first day since the outbreak began where new cases have shown a downward trend over 3 days.
edit: and unions again showing why they should all be abolished. Strikes ongoing across the country today because the government closed all non essential business to fight the virus.
