Not as yet, as far as I can tell. What will the bookies do when all sport stops?
-
As per the WHO recommendations, a little positive story. I don’t know who this guy is, but he went on Twitter and offered to pay bills for people struggling. In the comments, it’s prompted lots of other folk to do the same.
-
Just bizarre. He was shaking hands with everyone, apart from one guy who refused. He’s more or less an irrelevance during this crisis though, so not really worth getting exercised about it.
-
I would think that the mass vaccination of 146 million Russians would not have gone unnoticed.
-
Don't know if this has already been posted, but it's astonishing: $1331 for a test! She essentially shames him into agreeing to provide the tests free.
-
Let's hope our modelling is more of the ECM variety rather than the GFS.
-
Apologies, if already posted. The DCMO explains the reasons for not shutting down large gatherings and sports events from about 3:00 onwards. I hope she's right.

The infection rate in Africa seems somewhat slower: We don't know why so few covid-19 cases have been reported in Africa | New Scientist WWW.NEWSCIENTIST.COM Experts still don't know why so few coronavirus cases have been reported in Africa, despite the continent’s large population and China being its top trading partner Is it wishful thinking to suppose that temperature might be a factor?

Pence says there's been 'irresponsible rhetoric' from people downplaying the coronavirus WWW.NBCNEWS.COM Trump said Monday that the “fake news media and their partner, the Democrat Party, is doing everything to inflame the coronavirus situation.” I mean, he's correct, but he needs to have that conversation with his boss.

That's astonishing: are there really still Roller discos in the 21st Century?
-
I hope they are on top of things. Whatever you think of the regime there, it's crucial for the world economy that they get back to something like normality as quickly as possible.
-
For the first time in history I'd be telling my boy to go on his Playstation rather than come off it.
-
That's strange, as she seemed very enthusiastic when I went round. As an aside, there doesn't seem to be much hysteria or panic-buying here in Norfolk, but to be fair it does a long time for news to arrive.
-
None of those fatalities are going to increase exponentially as time goes on. When we reach 10 million infected and 1.5-2 million of those require a machine to help them to breathe, are people still going to be saying 'it's only flu'? By acting now, we can avoid that scenario.
-
Yes, but 1% of cases are severe enough to warrant hospitalisation. In China, that rate was 15-20%.
-
It's absolutely incredible that some still don't understand how exponential growth works.
-
Of general interest, this is from a Doctor in London who posts on an NCFC forum: He also mentions that it appears to be more aggressive if you suffer from hypertension (high blood pressure). Also, it seems to spare children and pregnant women (unlike swine flu).
-
Regarding the US congressman above. Several others were at the same event: Attendees include Rep. Matt Gaetz, who recently mocked the outbreak by wearing a gas mask to the funding vote. It's reported that Nigel Farage also was there.
-
It's not surprising: his own siblings released a video urging people not to vote for him. As polarised as politics is in this country, I'm thankful that our own government and leaders are acting responsibly. A view from a former WHO pandemic comms officer across the pond:
-
It’s somewhat telling that while people in the US are stockpiling weapons and ammunition, people in the UK are panic buying bog roll, pasta and teabags.
-
The next time anyone tells you it’s only 0.000001 of the population, send them this.
-
I now have far less freedom of movement than I did 2 months ago, so my life is more controlled than it was. Moreover, if I get ill abroad this year, my EHIC card will entitle me to treatment free of charge. Next year, however...
-
No, February would’ve been amended by now as they do it on the 1st or 2nd day of the new month.
-
SIDC do, but at the end of each calendar month.
