It’s absolutely remarkable isn’t it? Legacy Systems are failing and being replaced. Things there were no money for are having billions thrown at them. Suddenly nearly everyone can work from home rather than commuting to an office and it turns out most jobs aren’t needed and the people on the...

Have been for days an I am still coming into work. Doing the essentials only and limiting contact with others as much as possible.

Yes, the way our societies are structured looks unsustainable.

A paper here predicting the reemergence of a SARs type virus. https://cmr.asm.org/content/cmr/20/4/660.full.pdf "The presence of a large reservoir of SARS-CoV-like viruses in horseshoe bats, together with the culture of eating exotic mammals in southern China, is a time bomb. The possibility...

Can I add stopping movement to affected areas sooner. People were still going on holiday in Italy as things kicked off there and it was quite clear what was going to happen.

You would hope this thing causes socialist principles to stay in effect where they are useful but I'm sure the various think tanks will be going full throttle for disaster capitalism.

While there's no doubt various social and cultural reasons for differences between nations I think the main thing is many of the Asian countries were hit hard by SARs and learnt a lot from it.

I think those measures have probably bought us 2-3 weeks but they haven't changed the trajectory like in some Asian countries who were more thorough.

Still at work here and now have a letter to show the police as to why I am on the roads. Don't know if that's the business being cautious or whether they have been advised that the police will be more stringent.

I see today many construction companies are shutting down to keep their workers safe which will help.

All valid points but it must also be noted that every country has their own Chris Witty equivalent. I've seen that Cummings wanted London in lockdown earlier but has that been confirmed and if so do we know where the hold up was?

It's been reported by the BBC so you would hope they verified it if the locals didn't.

The UK's coronavirus policy may sound scientific. It isn't | Nassim Nicholas Taleb and Yaneer Bar-Yam Interesting read. It's by Nassim Nicholas Taleb before anyone loses their shit so pretty authoritative.

Interesting read. Makes me worry that nationalisation and various forms of socialism will be used for the recovery but we'll end up with Putin like characters rising in multiple countries and selling all the new state assets back to themselves and their cronies. Like 2008 somehow this will just...

You would think but I'm not that optimistic.
