    Seems ok to me   50 pounds a day is decent.  most companies only pay SSP  which is way less 

    £50 a DAY is freeking amazing, SSP is just over £90 for an entire week!

    EDIT: If we take that into hypothetical consideration as an actual wage working full time (38 hours over 5 days) that would work out at just over £6.30 an hour for sitting on your backside at home

    Started to snow properly now. Still melting as soon as it touches the ground though.

    Hopefully won't be too bad in the morning, have to get the bus and there's been no gritters gone passed the house all night, despite being on the bus route...

    Good grief he really becomes more unhinged by the day . The WH is full of lunatics . With the latest paranoia apparently it’s a plot by the left and the media to trash the market . 

     

    He's as bad as the Iranian minister aka "Nothing to see here, it's all fake news and a personal attack on ME!!!111!!, now give me more money"

    I have a strange feeling that the Italy cases have their origin in Iran. 

    I was looking at population stats and 60% of the Muslim community there live in Northern Italy (mighty strong coincidence???), So there's probably a good chance that it was brought into Italy via people returning from visiting extended family/pilgrimage's  

    Iran's health minister was also showing symptoms (sweating/coughing) at a press conference a few days ago, which means he himself could have been exposed to it at most 2 weeks ago, and whoever he got it from would be again at most 2 weeks, so it'll have been in their country for at least a month, that's a lot of time for it to spread through extremely crowded (to the point where you can't even see the floor) cities/streets/holy-sites/homes, and a lot of time for those who unwittingly have it to visit family all round the globe

    Time will tell I suppose.

    Is there a mortality rate for this virus yet?

    Women mount stronger immune responses to infection, scientists say. And in China, men smoke in much greater numbers.
    Quote

    This week, the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention published the largest analysis of coronavirus cases to date. Although men and women have been infected in roughly equal numbers, researchers found, the death rate among men was 2.8 percent, compared with 1.7 percent among women.

     

    They should have officially named it Manflu...

    Rain eased off for a time here, but absolutely hammering it down again and wind really picking up again, Hail mixed in with it too now.

     

    Edit: Winds really picked up now, at least 40mph gusts maybe close to 50.

    Can feel the house shaking, sometimes strong enough to rattle the wardrobe doors, and it's a brick semi so not exactly a flimsy house.

    Also Sulphur Dioxide levels are Slightly lower currently than they were at the same time last year, (prob due to the travel restrictions)

    This is not good esp. if you are 'welded' into your property!

    EDIT: Do scroll through the clips

    Looking at the Fire/thermal anomalies on the AQUA/MODIS there's barely anything going on in china where fires are concerned

    Also none of those clips have an original source link and should be dismissed, they could have been taken at anytime since smartphone cameras were invented....

    I think most people, if not confined with a case, will have no notion they are being infected as it will be 'self administered' via transfer from a hard surface to mouth/eyes/nose?

    With the life expectancy of the virus outside of the host seeming to increase week on week then ,my best guess, is that the first UK wave will be from such transfers and not from folk sneezing/coughing in your face?

    Be mindful what your hands are doing (don't go scratching/picking/rubbing areas that have mucus membranes?) and take sanitizer with you when you're out and about so you can 'clean up' after touching hard surfaces?

    Unfortunately it's getting more and more common for people to cough openly rather than covering there mouth   and the hand rails on the backs of the bus seats tend to be at head height when your sat down, not to mention the poles you hold onto to keep yourself steady.  Lots of nice scuffed metal surfaces in a warm/moist environment.....

    (Personally, I tend to cough/sneeze into my forearm/elbow area, you don't accidentally get anything on your hands and there'll be less of it getting into the air as most of the moisture droplets would get caught in the fabric of what your wearing, plus you have less chance of someone grabbing hold of you there and therefore less chance of passing anything on via someone else touching you),
