I think one take out from this whole thing is that we all need to stop being scummy gits and follow the basic personal hygiene protocols we are being shown regardless of whether we think we have it, have had it or are too cool to catch it. Meaning more hand washing, sneezing / coughing as taught etc. And if you think there’s any way you could still be infectious avoid high-risk environments (schools, care homes, hospital etc).

No guarantees, but common sense to help reduce further spread.

To be honest, anybody who coughs or sneezes without basic manners of covering their mouth and nose needs to be put down anyway.

We get it. You like Branson. He’s not gonna shag you.

Actually I don't give a shit about Branson but I do believe that blind hatred and ignorance is wrong.
I also find it strange that you believe it is a sexual thing? You need to isolate yourself and get rid of your own frustration...

Judging by them all saying how bored they are I assume not.

 

[NortonSkyBlue]

how can people have opinions of high profile media figures without ever knowing them? Are you serious?
And you're wrong about Branson not having anything to do with Virgin airlines.

Okay I will leave you with your facts.

I do think social media need to start blocking people like Piers Morgan who just wants to get everybody worked up. No wonder people are panic buying when he's trying to tell everybody it's the end of the world all day every day.

He's proved to be an absolute wanker in all of this, i used to like him but not anymore

I think if the context were presented that narrowly, I'd agree. It's unfortunate that any serious analysis and discussion of world affairs disappeared from the common media years ago. But do I believe at this time that SARS2 will have a worse outcome than swine flu, which on most accounts has the same mortality rate as SARS2, high inflection rate and no immunity or vaccine? No, I don't necessarily: I think we are still trying to understand the risk and impact.

Nor do I want to be too critical but providing statistics such as SARS2 has a 14% mortality rate (from a limited-base denominator) in the elderly without comparison to the fact that the flu rate mortality itself is nearly 7% only doesn't seem overly helpful.

Its not just the mortality rate though is it? It’s the R0, the incubation period, the hospitalisation rate and the lack of a vaccine.

This is the bit that worries me more than the damn virus, how the hell I’d look after the kids (without cross-infecting) with zero protective gear (as we were told not to bother) if I or them get ill.

Feels like they want families to self-isolate as a group while the virus ripples through the family before everyone comes out two weeks’ later immune and ready to save the rest of us.

That is exactly what they want. Though of course without testing we don’t know if we are ready to come out and save everyone.

Or even if they had covid 19.

He’s always been a grade A twat. Fact.

Plus I don’t even know if I’ve got it. And what if my wife shows symptoms in 13 days. Locked in again. And then what if she hasn’t got it then? Shambles

Nope just 14 days for you all as ive read it

 

[Ring Of Steel]

Or NOPM...

I'm a proper 'hippy', I agree with it all, but the stupid terminology really gets on my nerves

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Briefly from here:

1. We will be open for all of Easter under the same arrangements as the next few weeks.

2. Teachers are likely to be asked to provide grades for GCSE and A level students.

3. Due to the right to appeal being maintained we have been asked to estimate as high a grade as realistically possible.

I can’t describe how I feel at this moment but I have already bollocked students celebrating what is going on.

What would you prefer?

He blocked me after I put up the fake picture of his paper showing the soldiers pissing on someone after he'd been moralising about "doing the right thing", he really doesn't like that

 

[clint van damme]

Okay I will leave you with your facts.

there's no such thing as my facts there's just facts. You said:

Virgin Atlantic is currently 49% owned by Delta Airlines, with an additional stake of 31% recently acquired by Ai France-KLM.

You're wrong.

and read point 5 in the editors notes of this article:

Air France, KLM, Delta and Virgin Atlantic Launch World’s Leading Partnership | Air France - Corporate

"The customer benefits of the joint venture are unaffected by the recent confirmation that Air France-KLM will no longer buy a 31 per cent stake in Virgin Atlantic. Virgin Group will retain its 51 per cent majority stake in Virgin Atlantic, with Delta continuing to hold 49 per cent."

There are only two people here today from 50, proper eerie

 

[Johnnythespider]

Is that a real grade A or one that's been awarded by BSB

To be fair, they aren't high profile.

Same as Stan Collymore going round Supermarkets taking photos of people stockpiling, what does he think thats going to do? People will then see it and rush out to get somethintg.

He’s not keen on being reminded of Milly Dowler either surprisingly.

On about trying to stop the spread yet there are thousands of flights in the sky.....

Look at china/Italy

You know they're in mid air and not actually in China & Italy don't you?

I don't think there will ever be a time with no flights in the sky.

Stepping up testing to 25,000 a day, it is obvious that if that is ramped up then confirmed cases will go up compared to when they were testing say 5,000.

Might get more useful to look at the percentage of positive tests which has been rising the last few days.

Govt here just admitted they've managed just over 2200 tests since it kicked off.
