    Not necessarily as it hasn't been in the system long enough (bar Italy it seems) for the under-reported to have died.

    True, but we live in a mobile world. I don't know the numbers, but let's say a fuck ton of people will have travelled in and out of the UK since January.

    Like in fairness, we’ve 60 something cases but that’s 60 from the very few tested. Everywhere is waking with it.

    John Ashton, a former director of Public Health (presumably an expert then) is ripping the approach in this country by the government to shreds on Question Time.

    Haven't tried it, since I only use home-made salsa (), but I would trust most of their stuff.

    People tweeting Arteta like he's about to bloody die. He's probably pleased to be cooped up away from the media for 2 weeks and not having to manage that tripe.

    No one I know of, but a few of those twats were traveling over Spring Break. Then again, we're having dinner with my wife's friend who just came back from Spain, so RIP me.

    Quite surprised to return home and not see the 5k barrier broken on the deathometer, only an increase of 6 in those few hours. Virus, I am disappoint.

    Seasonal flu wipes out 281 people in the same time period on average, apparently, and AIDs has a done a grand.

    We're doing nothing so I'd assumed you'd be happy that that's a proportionate response.

    The silver lining down here is that the coronavirus may knock off a few of those woke scolds that mooch around Melbourne.

    Watching Newsnight, and I've come to the conclusion that this is batshit. The whole thing appears to stem around successfully gaming the public, while simultaneously telling them up front that that's what you're going to do, but not telling them what the rules of the game will be. Delaying things so you can smooth the impact out and build immunity also makes perfect sense, but other than telling people to self isolate if they feel symptoms (without telling them how they'll pay their bills if they do) we've done nothing to delay it.

    The Italian numbers may be exaggerated vs. anywhere else due to them being ambushed by it, but we're going to post some formidable numbers over the coming weeks if we carry on down this path and if people don't have faith in the plan already, they sure as shit won't when they're having to bury granny in the garden. At which point the whole plan falls apart as we'll see the same nutjob response to people's daily business that we've seen recently with their shopping habits and it'll be carnage.

    The role of government in this should be to manage the people and manage the virus, both are equally important and we're seemingly fisting both.

    Hudson Odoi has it now. The whole league is about to end up with it. I’m just going to assume I’ve beaten this already after returning from Budapest.

    Qld Government have a list of 3500 people in self isolation. The tracing being done from Tom Hanks time in Brisbane could see another 500 self isolate taking us to 4000. Our numbers should jump by the end of next week.

    Amazing that the Government has to scold the public about not rocking up to any of the testing sites unannounced. Surely the same cunts hoarding toilet paper etc.

    Edit: Queensland is expecting a 1% mortality.

    1 in 4 (1 million) people will have it in the next 6 months.

    8 out of the 35 have recovered.

    The UK must be more than a month behind us. Just so much detailed information available.

    I genuinely don't know if I have the balls now.

    I was targeting a price originally that the shares I was after hit today, but things have got a lot more complicated and I'm not sure it's worth tying that sort of money up for the long term if we're stuck with this for ages.

    1. Trade intraday using a CFD. Short against whoever sounds the most fucked that day according to the news. Or you could pick any index blindfolded tbh. Cash in before the days out. Either withdraw all funds or rinse and repeat over following days/weeks.
    2. ???
    3. Profit!

    Obviously be careful and there are sessions when it will rebound (although these are becoming fewer and smaller). Sell at the top of a peak rather than base of a dip. Always use a stop loss and only invest what you can afford to lose, because if it starts going the other way you need a steady hand and not be trading out because the red figure is intimidating.

    Warnings aside, it's genuine free money unless you're a bit slow.

    The complicated dance of where kids fit in our new, mental "cough and you're gone" world begins today. Don't think I'm even going to bother to take the pre-schooler as she has a runny nose (like all kids) and the boss there will be in full hazmat mode by now. The school age ones are more of gamble, one is fine, one has a penchant for coughing, but has done her whole life. I'm screwed because I've had a runny nose for 38 years.

    We've been told by the travel company that only if the FCO specifically advises against travel to Portugal will they refund. Otherwise, we are simply 'disinclined to travel'. I can take £400 hit if I have to, but a lot of people surely can't.
