I guess all these climate scientists are just in it for the juicy juicy tax breaks.
I’m actually surprised how many of you are taken in by it.
Took the dog for a walk down by the river, the old folks seem to be ignoring this completely and congregating for a chin wag.
I'm thankful that my old folks are not doing the same, they have self isolated themselves.
By compelling science?
You could be told anything, stick science on it, and bingo if it’s what you want to hear.Quote:

Incredible. :D
Giggles, you're actually the crackpot on this.
I'm not really sure I want to hear that I have to change the way I live completely to try and reduce the effect humans have on climate change. I like traveling ffs.
Luckily our green party has been decimated after running and hiding through all this, so when it’s over we can go back to having a proper fire, driving to work, and not paying some dreamt up taxes like normal humans.
To be honest, Aviation gets a lot of unfair stick for something that produces 2% emissions worldwide. Attack the biggest slice of the pie like the energy sector first.
I can’t be when you’re completely wrong. Unbelievably gullible for a grown adult.Quote:

I thought crack as craic was bad, and that was after spelling Guinness wrong, but what the fuck is “nivver”? Aren’t you middle aged by now?Quote:

I'm director of cricket for a cricket club and obviously like all sports clubs we face our income going down to zero for a while. There are three people we 'employ' on a casual basis - groundsman, head coach, and bar/tea lady - who will obviously get hit by this. I put a message into the boomer committee email chain asking if anyone had any ideas what we could do for them to help them through a few weeks/months.
Response: fuck off mate they're on their own.
Love boomers.
I'm not going to do the reading for you. You don't agree with the scientific position. I can't do anything for that.Quote:

It's the Death per 1m Population League Table as at 21/3.
A crazy day yesterday, with European nations starting to dominate the table - 5 countries moved up in the table, all of them Western European nations.
Meanwhile, we have our first new entry - welcome to the Death per 1m Population - Portugal, who joined the club after amassing 1,020 confirmed cases, and 7 deaths. Japan, who were 17th a few days ago drop down to The Championship after only 83 new cases in 2 days saw them leapfrogged by Canada, Australia and Malaysia.
Italy continue to lead by a long way, with almost 67 deaths per 1m population - Champions League qualification is almost certain, unless something were to happen that postpones the league...

Spanish numbers:
-24926 infected (+4946)
-1326 dead (+324)
-2125 recovered (+540)
Moving at a breakneck speed to catch up to Italy.

Read today that we've shut our pubs etc about a week earlier in the curve than Italy did. That's something, at least.
This article isn't happy reading, though. If correct then, as stated in the article, we'll be heading for the mother of all public enquiries after this:

Vallance and Cummings as 'close allies' was a bit of a surprise to me.
The chart above is where deaths are a useful measure. They're concrete. Crap for telling us where we are at this moment, good at showing where we might be heading. An optimistic interpretation of the shape of our curve is that we're not as fucked as Spain and appear to be moving further from their predicament, and that it won't be too long before we cross that 33% increase line and follow a shape more like China's, although probably with a higher line. One bad data point later on fucks that theory though.
I'd quite like to see a bit more stratification of recorded deaths. So far we know they've all been people with underlying conditions here. What we don't know is how far progressed those conditions were. Basically, were they already for it quite soon? And was Covid-19 even the cause?
What we do know is that soap kills it. You don't even necessarily need the water to be hot.Quote:

Yeah, I read up to 24 hours on cardboard. Hence using picking up my post as an example.
The number of deaths in Spain are also shitting all over the societal factors in Italy being unique and therefore the cause for it being so bad. They just had it sooner.
Nobody really knows though. You’ll find numerous times for numerous objects online.Quote:

Portugal down tools at the drop of a hat so I'm expecting all the stock we get from there to dry up now that they're getting hit harder.
It can't breed on surfaces. Viruses don't work like that.Quote:

Which is probably the best case for "mitigation" as opposed to "prevention".Quote:

Look at the lengths we will go to for a real issue.
