If we can handle the likes of Sparkhill and Lozells then some twat virus doesn't stand a chance.
I’m thinking first week of August to book a holiday. Will see how Europe is over the next few weeks.
I feel like we'll be on lockdown for another month but the EU's is bursting to get back to normal.
I am watching the WHO press conference and some journalist just started talking about how the coronavirus outbreaks are focused on places with high carbon dioxide levels (among other things) which points to a link between the virus and global warming.
Edit: I see that even BBC mentioned that theory. No mention whatsoever of the obvious population density-pollution correlation.

Govt today announced a further 1 week lockdown, with a further week expected.
Oooh a snazzy badge.
Not the same thing but there is a link between mortality rates and air pollution.Originally Posted by Adramelch

Yeah that I understand and, at least, the BBC report I saw partially focused on that. The journalist speaking at WHO just flat out said that covid spread is due to global warming.
For any chess fans out there, Carlsen is currently playing Firouzja in the Banter Blitz final. It's a cracking match so far.

That's gold.
France with another influx of care home/community deaths. 6524 deaths out of 14393 confirmed cases (although I appreciate that the 2nd statistic should be massively underestimated) and out of a total of 17167 deaths (so 38% of the total). We're getting quite close to Spain in deaths.

A woman in Sainsburys walked past me today who I'm sure was sick.
Went straight into the shower when I got back home but it's probably a RIP to me.
How can you really tell? After all the only really visible syndrome is a cough, right? And it still likely isn't the largest reason behind people coughing, in general like.
She was red in the face and coughing and spluttering (thankfully she started coughing after walking past me) and just generally looked quite worn down.
I have no idea that it was Covid but she definitely looked sick with something. Although it could well just be paranoia.
With envy after seeing what was in your trolley.
Fucking hell
Been having good fun reading the comments on local groups and news outlets.
Seemingly parked cars at local parks are cause for jail sentences.
Group herd moron propaganda truly has embedded.
Apparently a guy up here was fined for going surfing, on his own, about 50 yards from his front door.
mate of mine's wife died from it, 31 no underlying health conditions. Fucking hell.
Rewatched The Untouchables today and swear Trump is just doing a bad impression of De Niro's Capone.
So he's going to walk into the next press conference with a golf club yelling, "Baseball!" Grand.
None she knew about anyway.
One of my cousins friends died of it. Single mother to an 18 year old, 8 year old and a newborn. The newborn was delivered by emergency caesarean the day before she died.
Fucking hell.
Jesus fuck
That's fucking grim. Those poor kids.

Don time.
Describe in more details please. Troubling.
That's fucking horrible.

President Donald Trump says the US has "passed the peak" of new Covid-19 cases and predicted some states would reopen this month.
At the daily White House virus briefing, Mr Trump said new reopening guidelines would be announced on Thursday after he speaks to governors.
"We'll be the comeback kids, all of us," the president said. "We want to get our country back."
Todays QLD numbers and we are only on Level 2. I lol at the thought of someone licking the boot on a daily basis in New Zealand.

Scomo has announced that we will have level 2 restrictions for another 4 weeks.
Everything I'm reading at the moment is fucking grim regarding lockdown. This is going to go on and on and on. We'll be able to go to B&Q at some point before summer's out, but we won't be able to go to restaurants or pubs for months, maybe not until next year.
Think the next sport with attendance may not be this side of Christmas 2021.
Yep. Until a vaccine comes there is no way to get rid of the fucker and given how catching it is it'll just spread like wildfire when we resume normal life.
With that in mind, I've ordered a racing wheel and chair, delivery on Saturday. It's OK to have a mid life crisis now. In fact it may even be necessary.
Is this old geezer walking up and down his garden raising titanic amounts of money for just giving or are they waiving their cut?
They reckon between 5-10% of people have had it. Hopefully that number is closer to 10% but obviously it's going to vary from area to area. That 10% makes a big difference to future waves and that R-0 shit they bang on about.
Once the numbers start to fall they'll relax restrictions a bit and they'll spike again. Back in lockdown. There will be periods of relative normality for most of us, but yes, bars and restaurants are turbofucked and there will be thousands of elderly and vulnerable people that will never be seen again regardless of not catching the virus.
We probably need about half of us to catch it for the NHS to be able to cope with life going back to normal. Well, 10% only took... 3 months. Fuck sake. And all this is assuming that they're right in thinking that immunity is long standing.
Indeed. It's a proper bollocks.
And Jim.
But how do they know if the tests are bollocks or not tested at all?
That's why there's the uncertainty and they can only say between 5-10%. There's about 3 million people falling into that gap.
I haven't gone that far, but this lockdown period has allowed me to really get into 'sim racing', especially with F1 actually sticking it on their main channels and promoting it. iRacing looks incredible, but not sure I really have the space or money for a full rig set-up.
I don't have either (and am not good or serious enough for that stuff) so I got a fold away chair thing to which you can attach the wheel. I've got Project Cars which is kind of a sim but not like iRacing, and it looks gorgeous even on my shoddy laptop.
That will get me through hours of dead time. Just doing anything requiring any kind of physical co-ordination is a bonus at the moment.
It'll be fun to see how it goes in America once Trump lifts every restriction way too early. If the state governors don't overrule him, of course
New York's not opening back up for ages. 13,000 cases a day at the moment.
Element of truth but with this you can't see the bloke who's going to disembowel you and rape your severed head, so it's not quite as immediate as Genghis Khan.
This is the most serious wide-reaching health shutdown in all of human history, as far as I'm aware.
New York has more cases than any country bar the US and more deaths per 1m population (591) than any country bar San Marino (1,061)
Yeah but I mean it could just as well just be a person who has been smoking too much or just hade a regular cold or whatever.
People seem to have forgotten that other illnesses still exist. But if you get it, you get it. You'll be fine I'm sure
Is New York just gonna inadvertedly create herd immunity though?
Yes. And alot of empty accommodation in the black areas of the city.
