1) Although everyone hates them both, the insect version are actually of some benefit.

Animal Crossing is a very gentle game that my kids like. Feels a little limited to me, but then I’m probably not the target audience! Mario Kart is a pick up and play at any time, and in essence is endless. Also, for free, Asphalt 9 can be downloaded. That’s a really high quality driving...

With apologies for losing my rag, but it’s absolute idiocy to pretend that this isn’t real. The problem with people pushing the ‘no worse than flu’, or ‘it’s all made up’ line, is that it encourages to the kind of moronic behaviour that we’re seeing out there at the moment. If you don’t think...

Yes mate, it’s just a big ploy set up by your missus to stop you going down the pub. And all she had to do was get a few world leaders, a few hundred scientists, and a few thousand dead people to play along. I don’t mind the harmless idiots, they’re often quite funny. The dangerous idiots...

The pub thing is bananas, my mate went last night. His logic, “we’re all going to get it anyway”. That may or may not be right, but the point of all of this is that we don’t all get it at the same time. The reason for this is that you don’t want your folks, gasping for air, being left outside...

Ah, that’s a very good point, I’d not realised that in truth. You’d sense it’s a buyer’s market either way! :)

How about your... actually, on second thoughts I’m not going there. :)

It looks to me like someone might be trying to dump a lot of the bonds and is doing it in smallish blocks to avoid spooking the market...

Just to add, this transcends party politics, I’d like nothing more than our Government’s approach to be spot on here and to prove all of the doubters wrong. I’m just not entirely convinced that it is.

What on earth are you on about? The question I asked was why you’d question government expertise in one scenario, but not in another? You don’t seem to be able to answer that. Mate, let’s face it, as with many other things on here you’ve made your mind up about what’s right, and can’t bear for...

I’m not entirely sure how you come to the opinion regarding the lack of expertise, there are no shortage of public health experts challenging the UK’s approach. How about this chap, who teaches and researches at Harvard, he obviously isn’t of the opinion that our approach makes sense. He seems...

Except that people are actually dying right now, of course. So not really a joke. And anyway, hiding under a table was the Government’s formal advice at the time, are you telling us that we shouldn’t trust the Government’s experts?

And there’s the issue in a nutshell, I’ve no problem with a science based approach to tackling the problem, but it’s deeply concerning that so many scientists differ. It’s even more worrying that there’s no willingness to share the data upon which these critical decisions are being taken...

There’s absolutely no logic to this statement, no one is suggesting blocking beds. You’re doing exactly what you’re accusing others of here, letting emotions trump rationality and employing hyperbole rather than logic.

As previous, look at all of the contradictory viewpoints, also from respected scientists. This, “you’re not an expert so shouldn’t comment” is a patently farcical argument when there are so many other theories from equally respected scientists, on offer. Of course, if you’re coming at it from...

Except that other senior virologists in Europe and elsewhere seem to disagree with how that approach is being managed. The UK, or more technically England and Wales is pretty much the only place in Europe that isn’t taking more stringent measures to try to slow the spread. Even previous...

Indeed, and for the vast majority that’s what it will probably be like. However, if this is an attempt to suggest it’s not serious, then there’s an abject failure to understand the simple, basic arithmetic of the issue. In very straightforward terms, even if it’s a minor illness for 99% and...

Is it possible that they’re not mentioning it because it’s bullshit? Taking news off social media isn’t especially reliable. Everywhere is likely to see a very fast rise in cases, that’s what happens with epidemics. I’m not entirely sure what the point of these kind of stories is, especially...

Or mitigate as much as can be done now, and use the time to prepare the NHS properly to save as many lives as possible. There’s plenty of scientific opinion both ways, but the vast majority of other European countries are taking stronger measures than our own government with regard to mass...

Devastated for them. It’s a bad time to be massively over-leveraged and with attendances dropping like a stone (and likely to dry up completely for a while). Refinancing the bond is going to be crippling, and credit might be hard to come by in the coming months with all of the uncertainty...
