Coronavirus

[Johnny75]

Vaccines are absolutely miles away due to the amount of testing you have to do, then you have the stage of mass manufacture...

In an absolute best case scenario you're looking at late 2021.

Chinese are already working on it, hopeful for the end of the year (2020)

I'm hearing about herd immunity being the only way through this in the UK, but in China the % infected must be tiny, and it seems to be contained. Don't follow this at all.

80,815 cases in China, out of 1,386,000,000.

So 0.005%

I was due to take my son and stepdaughter to Birmingham Comic Con next weekend at the NEC - that's been postponed til June.

Stepdaughter is gutted - she had her costume all sorted and everything.

(And no, you cheeky fuckers - I didn't have a costume planned)

I'm going for The Walking Dead so it doubles up as survival practice next time I need to go and buy a bag of pasta.

The only question now is what to name your barbed wire covered bat. Lucille is taken.

Alright, Captain Bumbag.

Hoping the Paul Heaton gig in London next month doesn't bite the dust. It's just hope though.

ok , not a joke at all, but can someone explain to me why people are hoarding Toilet paper. I have seriously followed all notifications as to the symptoms of Corona and not one of them mentioned a serious case of the Harry Redknapps, so why hoard toilet paper.

On another point today most people were either wearing cloves or a mask, i only saw one out of about 100 wearing both, surely half measures is just a waste of time?

Because, Pav, people are fucking morons.

yeah and i have never farted!, (well not in the last two minutes anyway)

Because people are a) incredibly selfish and b) total spanners.

It's something the shops themselves should stop, just say no at the checkout (no way anyone is getting 120 rolls of toilet roll and 40 bags of pasta through a self-service thing). Added points for sticking a spotlight on them and a Tannoy (TM) announcement saying "can the cunt at checkout four please take back 36 of his pasta bags"

80,815 cases in China, out of 1,386,000,000.

So 0.005%

With a mortality of 2.1% nationwide. The data sadly doesn't show how many were due to underlying problems combined with the virus.

China have had less than 500 cases since the peak.

Herd immunity works if you have a vaccine (which we have for some other conditions, but not for this) & as long as a high % of people have this it should not be too virulent (which is why the & dropping % due to anti vax campaigners have created problems)

Reality is that however many have tested positive a lot more will have contracted it with limited symptoms & not be sure that that was what they had anyway

Saw a fella dressed as Negan the other year with bat and it was totally fucking scary, looked like him to boot.

If I want any of the scarce provisions then will go to Waitrose just as it opens - average client base is even older than I am (even if thats hard to visualise :icon_surprised: )

I walk quicker than they do so get to the aisle I want first whilst they still have some stock - you have to be prepared :icon_smile:

 

[Papper]

Corona virus is starting to destroy my finances. Shares tanking, currency tanking, tenants shop going out of business, zero clients & work. Hope it doesnt last long.

Recession is a possibility. Maybe the Central banks will cover it .. your taxes are vital !

 

[playtheace]

This. Aren't the numbers a bit irrelevant now. Symptoms like corona? Go home, don't get tested. Only 200 new ones today! Hmmm.

Im sure there will be a test kit for sale soon that will sell out immediately (and then the poundland version 1 year later)
just before the NWO release the va££ine a while later.

Think you’re mixing Waitrose and the cemetery mixed up, Peter.
