I don't know if it's just me being really stupid but they keep putting up this lockdown easing graphic and it's really starting to bug me,


Surely the horizontal axis is time and the vertical axis is R, so surely the line for R=1 should be horizontal, not vertical. It's bugged me since they first showed it but no-one else seems to have noticed or mentioned it, so it is just me being really dense and misunderstanding the graphic?

My only other thought is that the horizontal axis is R, but decreases from L-R rather than the usual increasing and the vertical axis is cases?

It bugged me because it’s mathematical nonsense, but also the shape of the graph suggests that the R value peaked at 1 - which again is total bollocks.

Been as high as 4 according to Sturgeon .
That was at some point in March and she didn't say if that was UK or Scotland.

The same common sense that makes him think Boris is a decent honest moralistic guy.

On the bbc website they are running a page that flashes up the name, photo and a description of an victim of covid-19 in the UK.

It states to view all victims it would take 88 hours. 88 fucking hours.

With all the brains on this thread, it is quite a bit of a shame that there isn't more debate about the actual virus. There seems to be just a field of Tory bashing.

Something really isn't right about this whole thing.

Seems to have skipped most people that the Chinese state have effectively just got involved with the bailout of Norwegian Airlines.

This thing has been out and about for getting on for six months and the rest of the world still seems to know fuck all about it.

Something feels very very wrong and odd about this.

Do you think this is the Chinese state trying to distress the world economy?

I genuinely have no idea, but something absolutely stinks.

So many countries reactions have just been bizarre too.

Tens of thousands of coronavirus tests have been double-counted, officials admit

Even the Torygraph seem to think this is a bit off

We actually know far more about this virus far more quickly then we have many infectious diseases.

There's nothing unusual in a pandemic.

So they cooked up a virus, unleashed it on their own population and sent it around the world? Got any evidence?

If we're going bonkers conspiracy, it's more likely it's been cooked up by Pro Brexit lions to cover the fact we'll end up painfully short of workers for services and harvests, so they can blame a pandemic rather than their own destructive policies.

Bonkers

Nobody has a vested interest in protecting the Chinese government here. I think they have probably cooked the books on their own numbers and date of their case zero but the origin is most likely that of poor local hygiene practices

They’re gonna take over the world by destroying their own economy and losing huge amounts on international trust?



Edit: just realised this is basically the Brexiter strategy. This theory makes a lot more sense now.
