The problem is nobody will heed advice when the information put out by experts is lost in a deluge of second hand unsubstantiated musings dressed up as facts.

 

My mate heard from them in a meeting conveys no information of worth, and only adds to why some are excessively panicked, and others dismissive of it all.

 

Who was the meeting held by? Who suggested these measures? These are all relevant, more so than the tabloid headline of mass graves and the like.

It was obviously confidential. I'm not going to tell you all that information am I?

 

Whatevs. It's all going to happen in the coming weeks and what will be will be whether I post in here or not.

Where's that from? Shocking that

The Trip Advisor bit was sarcasm but given 11.5k people worldwide have died already & this is the 2nd pandemic linked to bats China & bats (although SARS was never 100% proven) somebody in a significantly more important job than me needs to come up with a solution. 

To be fair, nobody has proved this virus is linked to bats, well aside from Twitter.

Virus won't hit there. It'll take one look at the local DNA and say "fuck that".

You cheeky cunt ! 

Unfortunately it's already here - some nice caring bloke travelled home from "holiday" in Spain last week . Clearly hadn't read any news in the last month

Perhaps we a TLW surplus swap shop. Swapping a pack of four bog rolls for a box of ale etc etc..

Tesco's little 1 hour for NHS staff is boss.

Yep although I imagine lots of non nhs cunts will kick off and storm in regardless

Bill Gates warned 4 years ago in a Ted talk that the world wasnt prepared for a new pandemic. Turns out he was right.

 

You hope lessons will be learnt once this blows over as it will. Stay safe.

Cornwall council has asked that 2nd home owners dont all come down here putting pressure on health resources.

Only thing I couldn't get this week was eggs if anyone fancies posting me some.

I've got a Tesco online delivery coming tomorrow.

 

A shitload of items are out of stock. Fuck me. Frozen veg or long life milk all unavailable. Even bananas are restricted quantity.

 

Do I buy some extra bits and pieces not knowing if there's going to be full meltdown next week?

Yeah just keep them all in the more densely populated areas while you lot with acres of horse and cow shit are all fine. Fucking disgrace

27 year old woman with pre-existing health issues has died in Italy. The youngest so far.

Food banks are beginning to close down because there’s no food getting to them and volunteers are staying away.

Sad news. I think age has little to do with it - its the other stuff.

 

Are there any stats for people with no pre existing conditions?

Appreciated, but the demographic of all 50+ is starting to change in a lot of countries like Italy and the US.

 

All reports in Italy have stated people being admitted to ICU's are getting younger and younger in the past few days.

 

Think I saw the death rate for was 1% for anyone with no pre-existing conditions.

 

EDIT: Just found all of these:

New symptons: Loss of taste/smell.

I cant quote you stig.

 

I think the point about trying to stop people coming down to isolate in cornwall in 2nd homes is that the NHS is geared up for the local population of each area. There is only 1 hospital with the ability to deal with corona.

As opposed to what?

 

What rate is all population?

 

How many have died over the same period due to influenza?

Rate: Number of deaths/number of cases. I'm just quoting what I've seen. See above edited post.

I heard a story like this the other day from a supposedly reliable source - a council having drained its public swimming pools to use as a temporary morgue. I posted it on here because I did some digging and the pools were still open to the public at the time.

 

I’m don’t see why they’d use road tunnels when there would be sufficient empty industrial storage available which would be more secure.

How can people self-isolate for 12 weeks if they don’t have enough food and other essentials to keep them going for more than a couple of weeks, let alone 3 months. Home delivery slots are like rocking horse shit, with no evidence of availability improving anytime soon. Plenty of people don’t have anyone to rely on to shop for them. Supermarkets are allocating specific times for the elderly and vulnerable to shop, but this requires people to leave their homes, perhaps use public transport and generally be around others. I might have missed it but it would seem that this issue has yet to be addressed by the government.

I would rep this, but in a time of global crisis - when banks are forgiving mortgage payments and media companies are giving content away for free - Usher has banished me back into the great unwashed.

Supposed to have been conference calls between supermarkets/government today about the mess.

 

I'm guessing we'll hear any potential measures/solutions later in the presser.

 

Yet another showing of how incapable the government have been during this crisis. This should have been nipped in the bud last fucking week. It's been getting worse and worse each day. There must be shitloads of people who can't get food.

 

Telling people not to panic buy or go to the pub was never going to work because people are selfish cunts.
