Just re-did the numbers.

7 billion people times 1 metre times 0.5 metres is 3.5 billion square metres. That's 59km by 59km which is near as damn it 36 miles by 36 miles.

So not 30 square miles but you could certainly fit everyone into a surprisingly small area.

You'd need a lot of toilets though..... 

Talking about people being half a metre deep and a metre wide was weird.

Don't know anybody that fits that description

Oaky comes across as Mr Fecking know it all .....very superior, he thinks and THEN he comes up with shite like this and hell mend you if he dissnae like you and ye get on is bad books..................PLONKER.

He has bullied a few on here, particularly IOBS which was unforgivable. 

Unfortunately for Oakcnut, he tried to do Ricky but Ricky absolutely and hilariously melted the wanker. His jealousy and meltdown  of Rickys success was wonderful to witness.

McHargs the Bakers certainly satisfied my needs today. They will be rewarded in the future.

Go and do the work I suggested.
Then come back and admit that I have made it crystal clear that my stats are rough and ready and hedged with all sorts of caveats such as needing something to change. OR come back and critique the trend curve that emerges.

you need to read it all (sorry) to get the context

Says the guy willing a forum member lose his livelihood for posting a few words on a forum. 

You can't even read, I was betting the the number of people who WOULDN'T die.🤡

Back to the village, every one needs one.

Oh I wouldn't be anywhere near that 36 x 36 mile area.

I'd rather jump off a cliff than be amongst people wittering on about Greggs, potholes and how exponential trends are "scaremongering shite".

How your graphs holding up today?

Yep and the heroes on the oil rigs and the refineries, Undertakers and the private ambulance drivers that take away the dead bodies. The HVAC engineers who are trying to keep data halls and server rooms cold whilst trying to heat hospitals and super markets and keep the air supply fresh and clean. Then you've got all their supply chain. And that's before you look at the factory workers and engineering plant companies that have responded to the governments call to manufacture respirators despite that not being their main business. 

There is literally an army of millions of essential workers in the UK at the moment that aren't getting a round of applause when they leave their houses; who aren't getting any praise on social media and who - to their credit - don't expect any either. Yet without them doctors and nurses couldn't begin to do their job, the supermarkets would be completely empty, our streets would be muck ridden with sewage being backed up, and where rubbish was blown everywhere from the overflowing bins. 

Workers, of every sort,  are traditionally despised by many in our stupid, unjust and unfair society.

well said, nice to see you in sensible mode

And nice to see you recognising that and subscribing to the thrust of his message.

It's unhelpful and inappropriate to be chucking around words like "heroes" when you are describing exceptionally well paid members of staff.

Most of the people who are holding the country together right now are those who are paid the least and treated with disrespect by society - cleaners, those involved in food production and delivery etc.

When this is all done and dusted these people don't need to be patronised by applause. They need to be paid a wage which reflects their importance to the nation.

I'm hugely hopeful that this group of workers can find some way of ensuring that happens once this is finished.

It's never been "Right now" - they have always been the unrecognised people who hold our society together.

 

Mustn't carp, though. 

I'm glad to see that the current situation has lifted the scales from previously unseeing eyes and that we have at least three new converts to socialism.

Aye, we all have our uses and society wouldn't function without everyone's worthy input.  Every worker is worthy of his/her wage.

 

Avante Popolo!

HASTA! SIEMPRE!

Get a tape measure and try it. It's not far off.  Measure shoulder to soulder for width and ass to stomach for depth. Then allow a wee bit more depth to stop you ramming into the arse of the person in front of you. 🤣

I remember a simpler time when people were able to help others out, quietly and with dignity, without whoring their "good deeds" on social media for "likes" and a bit of white knighting. There's a particularly nauseating one doing the rounds at the moment about "this is what it looks like to spend x hours saving lives" followed by a photo of them with mask marks around their mouths looking for people to call them heroes (which they inevitably do).

What the f**k is wrong with these people that the act of saving a life isn't enough for them unless they have a double helping of gushing praise for it online?

Way too early to be getting cocky about it but the last few days of figures (with the exception of the large spike yesterday) on both daily deaths and new cases are starting to show encouraging signs of moving away from the exponential growth we've seen over the last few weeks.

Let's see where we are in a week but this is some positive news.

Sorry but you are kidding yourself looking at total deaths.

On 9th March, Italy recorded 96 new deaths.

I'm afraid that we are pretty much precisely 2 weeks behind Italy and still on course to hit about 3000 daily deaths and the overwhelimg of our NHS around 5th to 7th April unless something changes. I wish I could be more positive and in a few days I might be. Not at the moment though.

Yesterday, the end is nigh...................

Please stop pretending that you know what you’re talking about

You’re embarrassing yourself

You highlighted on the share / dividend discussion that you really don’t have a clue

UK deaths now sitting around 52% of the level they were in Italy 2 weeks ago

 

Neil Ferguson now saying that two thirds of people with coronavirus who have died would have died anyway

 

When I stated this last week I received the standard abuse from oaksoft and TPAFTWAT

 

Neil Ferguson must be a sociopath according to TPAFTWAT then

 

More deaths in Germany than the UK yesterday. Is that because Germany do more testing?

 

er, wait a minute......

 

And I wonder if Ayrshire Saint is still out and about moaning about other folk being out and about

 

And LPM comparing coronavirus to the flu. Deary me. Epic fail.

 

And the worst thing is that certain people actually want more deaths to prove a point on a football forum thread

 

Evil evil people

I don’t believe any of the people you name check need be evil or sociopaths merely because they disagree with you.

Perhaps they are just a bit more optimistic AND open to other ways of looking at the situation.

Only with hindsight will any of us be sure of what was the truth.
