I don't want to body shame anybody but have you guys seen her body!  All I will say is she's not my type.

I'd only need her head. 

 

The rest of her will be in the boot of a burnt out Ford Fiesta.

Tremendous:

 

Donald Trump: “This is a very brilliant enemy. You know, it’s a brilliant enemy. They develop drugs like the antibiotics. You see it. Antibiotics used to solve every problem. Now one of the biggest problems the world has is the germ has gotten so brilliant that the antibiotic can’t keep up with it."

Its no Blofeld.

I know they hardly ever face any problems for lying all the time. I'm just hoping that something changes shortly because we're having around 1000 deaths a day announced which isn't normal at all, clearly.

 

I'm not expecting public revolt or some type of revolution, just for something significant to change in our response to what's happening. So maybe me talking about uproar was too strong a word to use, and reflected my state of mind earlier more than it did anything else. Maybe I'm just freaking out as we hit the peak too, but hopefully we don't carry on like this if these death figures don't lessen in a big way over the next week or so.

Yep, agree with this 100%. Anxious times for everyone and to be honest this one of the incredibly rare occasions where pretty much everyone in the world is in the same boat! When we get through to the other side I'm sure we will be stronger as result.

People are not in the same boat at all. Inequality is multiplied by an event like this as evidenced by the Maitlis viral going round. 
 

Combine high death toll, high unemployment, high debts, end of lockdown and a hot summer and there’s a very high chance of social unrest. Italians will go first and then U.K. next

What about Hungary?

Would be good if more MP's join in with this.

Too early to tell how the virus is going to play out, we seem to be a few weeks behind in cases and deaths but have put partial lockdown in place very early. Everyone hoping that numbers do not follow the example of most of Western Europe.

 

The economy will be a huge problem but to some extent expectations and entitlement are lower here so may not trigger as much anger. Hard to tell with Hungarians - they can put up with a great deal but also have a history of taking to the streets in revolution

Am just checking the list Lucas has made there of support in that letter : Baron Wooley of Woodford. She's just made that name up hasn't she? That's not real.

Meanwhile:

 

The Kremlin said the “huge influx” of coronavirus patients was beginning to put a strain on Moscow’s hospitals.

Moscow and other regions have been in lockdown for almost two weeks but the hospitals in the capital are still being stretched.

A reporter with news agency Reuters said they saw dozens of ambulances queuing outside a hospital dealing with coronavirus.

 

 

Does it seem strange that a country of 145 million so close to China has reported only 13k cases?

A little bit odd yes.

And you are not even slightly nervous that if there is a big social unrest, as a (presumably) well paid foreigner you might be a very easy target for any local shit-stirrer?

No, I’m the right type of foreigner here and frankly I won’t be putting myself in the firing line. Trouble, if it happens, won’t extend into the Buda hills and I can easily manage without going into town

I'm expecting Moggy to come out with a statement that they've tried but can't get the technology at such short notice and that the main priority is to stay safe and protect OUR (it's always "our") NHS.  But they tried really, really hard. Herculean effort etc.

I can’t believe they’ve not asked you to sort it, already signed the OSA, expert in Public Health and what you don’t know is only a 2 hour google session away. 

[Rico1304]

I’ve just read that Iceland are massively into testing, they’ve done loads.  
 

Apparently half the people tested, tested positive but didn’t know it.  Imagine that.  I mean, thats ridiculous right?

Uh oh. Should have known better than to pick on Moggy. Bad TK.

Why? The message has always been that the vast majority of people infected are asymptomatic.

Are you trying to make a false equivalence here with the Oxford Uni study?

 

What kind of test was it, antigen or antibody?  What percentage of the population was tested? 

 

Just interested to see if you're barking up the wrong tree.

I’m pretty sure our resident expert wrote that off yesterday. 

[SasaS]

10% of Iceland's population was tested. Apparently half of the positives were asymptomatic. There are about 1600 positives, half of which are already classified as recovered.

I've often stated that people are known to be asymptomatic.  Repeatedly on the mask thread as one of the reasons in favour of wearing a mask. You're such a dipshit.  You're like a parody of an actual human being.

Wouldn't be surprising, but they're trying to get something working for around the 21st (from here), so if they try putting that off as well and we haven't started seeing less deaths and new cases things will quickly go to shit for them I think.

 

But they probably know this anyway so I suppose they'll wait until the last moment before outrage starts up to get it sorted out. Then we can see livestreams of bullshit or whatever it is they get going.
