We have right wing politician in Poland arguing that all of covid-19 deaths would have happened within 1 month regardless. Beat that.

Yep, was just around in my local park for a quick run and used the grass, not the paths but there’s still droves of kids bunches kicking footballs around the place and riding bikes together. Some parents are treating this thing like a holiday.
I was talking about this with a friend who is high up at one of the big insurers. He says the exposure is less than people think because they have unders and overs in different areas. Health and life insurance will get hit hard, but there will be a lot less accidents, thefts and other such events due to the lockdowns.
I'm not sure what you mean. The head of the public response said yesterday they estimate there may be 10x more cases than they know about in Italy. The numbers in the last 3 days have shown mild improvement but even if it holds, it's still very much at the top of the peak rather than coming down the other side.
That was my first thought. Worrying if she doesn't!
Why can't kids from one household kick a football for an hour?
They theoretically can. In a perfect world they should. It would be impossible to control though.
Netherlands situation not looking good for 17 million population, 356 deaths
I agree the new balls are light as feck but you can work on your close control and get better.
There's some really odd lines in that BBC article.
"Every year more than 500,000 people die in England and Wales - factor in Scotland and Northern Ireland, and the figure is around 600,000.
The coronavirus deaths will not be in addition to these."
That isn't what the study says at all. It also pitches 10% infected as some upper limit but again PHE see that several times higher.

I've long advocated a return to the old Mitre balls.
They presumably cause brain damage but we had none of this 'hitting the valve' nonsense.
Prince Charles is in Aberdeen Castle isolated with Corvid-19. Andrew is in isolation at Balmoral with Charlotte-13.
No paedophile rape/jokes before anyone thinks of posting any.
Should go without saying but I know what some of you are like.
In ireland a group of teenagers surrounded a female jogger and kept coughing at her. She happens to be a nurse. Why are teens such little scumbags?
Can't believe the Government hasn't closed all major non-essential building sites. The workers are spreading the Virus around on sites. The 2m rule is a nonsense on a building site and just doesn't happen. There are also a multitude of surfaces that don't get cleaned yet everybody touches them. Temporary handrails, scaffold poles, ladders etc. The welfare provisions on sites are filthy and it's obvious the workers are at a very high risk. There will be many cases in the industry just when the peak comes.
The main contractors are not closing all the sites and many remain open. The self employed continue to work because the government hasn't promised any financial help and they need to feed their families. They literally have a hand to mouth existance so have no choice but to continue working to get paid. MAny are scared yet still continue to work. Its horrendous and so many say keep tot the 2m rule.
2m Doesn't work. Close the sites or give self employed assistance now. Its too late for many already but do something now!

I had the official Premier League matchball from Mitre in 1997 or 1998. Best football I've ever used.
So, there are 30.700 cases in Lombardy. Let's say real number is 20x bigger=600k. 10M people in Lombardy, so that makes 6%. Let's say in the end 30% of people will get it this year. So 5 times more infections to come. Some calculations like this, don't think about my actual numbers too much.
I loved them. You hit one of those, it stays hit.
Protect Danny Dyer at all costs
Christ, they really don’t give a feck and their parents aren’t any better. We closed schools for this, throw them back in.
NHS daily correspondence to the vulnerable group is now advising to stock up on dried goods and to get a bag ready in case you’re admitted to hospital.
She should have stated she's a nurse and then coughed back
the message i got was Jennifer-14. he's keeping busy!
Those scrotey teens are going to do that to the wrong person and get an almighty beating.
Or that's what I'm hoping happens.

I overheard two guys today wondering if you can get coronavirus if you wear a condom. And they weren't joking.
Hi wondering if anyone can help. I suffer from Asthma and have discussed with work having 12 weeks of isolation which has been agreed. The role I work can and has been covered. I rang my GP for a sick note to cover this but was told to ring 111. Im struggling to get through and as they are obviously so busy am not wanting to take up there time if i don't need to. I can see a form for a 2 week self isolation note online but does anyone have any suggestions for the 12 weeks or have dealt with this themselves?
Don't know about you but I'm sitting on the fecking throne as I type this...
Have you had the letter stating you have been identified as vulnerable?
I haven't had anything yet and I'm on two immunosuppressants, so I'm kind of expecting one. I was hoping there'd be some sort of advice on that correspondence.
I'm surprised your GP can't do this for you, even if it's just a rolling sick note to cover the 12 weeks. I wouldnt have thought a sicknote would come from anyone at 111, but I might be wrong.
GPs seem to be totally in the dark about everything right now, to be fair.
Prostitute's earnings must have been hit very hard by all this. I hope the government is going to pay 80% of their average income.
But that wasn't a joke...
Cheers mate. This is a good site

Some light at the end of the tunnel?
Theres (hopefully) hundreds of thousands of asymptomatic people and people who've already recovered with mild cases. Hopefully in a few weeks time we have enough people in these categories who can emerge from the lockdown situation and restart society. It would be tricky to prove you're "clean" unless we try what the Chinese did and somehow link it with an app or something.
I know for me personally, living in London I've probably been exposed to it. My flatmate had a severe flu a couple of weeks back and I'm pretty sure he coughed enough in the common areas to make sure I got it a hundred times over. However I luckily have absolutely no symptoms of the cold/flu. I found it odd because if it was a normal flu, I probably would have caught it from him.

I haven't yet mate no. Rang 111 and have been told I could be waiting up to an hour when I don't think its likely I will be getting one. Im surprised myself GP's aren't doing me one, especially seeing as me and the other person I live with are both vulnerable.
hopefully we get one over the next couple of days
Because there is no pressing need to do that. The idea is to reduce the time spent outside as much as possible.
Seems as bad as the teens (and grownups) who are licking stuff in supermarkets in US for the kicks and tiktok videos.
An hour of activity a day. That's important for wellbeing.
