    Worrying that they’re saying the peak might be 13 weeks away. What will be the state of the stock markets by then!? How many businesses will go under due to poor cash flow? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Did you know it’s not really a problem everyone is over reacting but also it was created by the Chinese government to cause a recession or quell the HK riots and is a super weapon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    But also bear in mind that there are a lot of highly qualified people, some in the countries that have been more seriously affected, who are screaming for social distancing as soon as possible. It’s possible they’re worrying too much about the inconvenience and behavioural science aspect. It...

    Tbf they seem to be trying to get the message across as clearly as possible that this is going to be extremely serious and last months. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Was anything announced yet after today’s Cobra meeting? Seems crazy no further measures have been announced yet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I understand that, my grandparents were the same, even me Dad is, but there are plenty of people who are technically literate enough to not use cash, and even use contactless regularly, yet still use cash. Plus, many older people could use contactless if they were shown. Many have iPads and...

    Never use cash unless it’s the only option. I don’t understand why anyone would, slower and inconvenient. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Austerity is dead?

    Looking at the media since the budget and the level of fawning over the spending after most of them spent months admonishing Labour for their proposed spending is incredible. Has anyone asked if it’s been costed yet or has that question gone out of fashion? In fairness I did see The Adam Smith...

    It doesn’t if you look at either axis. It’s just showing that the growth rate is broadly the same so in a week or so when we catch up with Italy in terms of number of days since detection we will have a similar number of cases. All variables being equal, which of course they’re not. Sent...

    Indeed but it gives the reader a rough idea of the number of cases in those countries, that’s all it’s supposed to do. I read a great article on Medium earlier which had a wealth of data but every time I try and post a link the link is screwed up... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I think it’s just a fudge so they can compare countries with different rates of infection. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
