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.
Green salsa >>>>>>>>> any other salsa.
This is fucking mental, and secretly I love it. More death please.
You're not willing to lose your wife but you've gone and sat with a load of people in a confined audience.
Smart move buddy.
Not sure if I should go play football tomorrow.
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.
Interesting watching this. Are the scientists abroad of a similar mind to ours and being ignored or do they just disagree?
This Peter Hain public health waxwork has to be one of the biggest arseholes in QT history.
He's five seconds away from going full Network.
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.
The interview with the professor man on Newsnight was good.
The only MERS in this thread are all of Randrew's posts.
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.

Benjamin Mendy likely has it.
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.

Football is over this season. The Premier League is rife with it.
Just null and void the season.
Pretty sure the Dybala stuff is unsubstantiated Twitter nonsense. Who will be the board's first victim?
Smart money has to be on Randrew.
Working at a hospital and he has a dodgy immune system.
Flight Center has just closed 100 stores.
Details.

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.
I don’t know how to do any of number 1. How much have you made?
Federal Govenment all events over 500 to be cancelled.
Urging all travel overseas to be cancelled.

Everything in the world is cancelled, but the nation is still heading off to busy offices and transport networks this morning (or at least I am). It makes no sense.
Croatia now doing self isolation for 14 days for people coming in. Which is great because the Holiday can still technically go ahead, so the insurance won't pay out. Fuck sake.
Again we were told today it is 15 minute person to person or 2 hours in the same room. Time to set your timers fellas.
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.
Germany's numbers are taking off. Spain's look like they're about to. Europe has royally fucked this.
Minister for Fascism Peter Dutton has come out positive.
Boris is off his head.
