Hiram Abiff Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 If, and its a big if, it turns out to be less deadly it'll be down to the "lock down". That's the whole point of trying to stop it spreading.Less than a week in and already zoomers are saying we've over reacted because deaths aren't as too high. Should it turn out that the epidemic wanes before long, there will be a queue of people wanting to take credit for this. And we can be damned sure draconian measures will be applied again next time. But remember the joke about tigers. “Why do you blow the horn?” “To keep the tigers away.” “But there are no tigers here.” “There you see!” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isaac Newton was notorious for not publishing at all without being pressured to do so by his peers. He was a perfectionist. So no. He generally wouldn't have made typos once he went public.

The virus is most easily passed on by prolonged contact with people in confined spaces Exactly what the government is forcing us to do And now we have the fascist police state doing this f**k me, you've finally said something of value. This is an indefensible use of police resources and quite frankly they can f**k right off with this sort of thing. Providing those people are not mingling en route then the police have no business shaming like this as they are doing nothing wrong IMO.

Italy now on the rise again as is Spain. This really hasn't been a good day.Our total number of people who have died and been tested positive for coronoavirus currently stands under 60% of where Italy were 2 weeks ago, as it has done for the past 3 days. It’ll be over 200 by Monday and approaching 400 per day by next Friday at that rate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I have repeatedly said, I hope I'm wrong about that because that'll be us at the Italy level in under the fortnight which I said we were behind them.
