Down by the River Muick at Balmoral

Nice place to be in spring.

That's a lot better than yesterday

I’ll tell that to those who have lost loved ones elsewhere in the world, or those who’s businesses have gone under or those elderly people who have to further isolate themselves from the world and become more lonely.

I get it though Vic, you can’t criticise the Chinese government for literally lying about the virus and being the ones that have caused a pandemic but you can about the UK government of being slow and unclear once it’s arrived here.

Sorry - I started a comment then abandoned it and it "saved" and was included in another. I'm not even sure now how I meant to finish what I was saying. I've deleted it so feel free to delete yours then I'll delete this!

Current thinking is that UK cases represent those who are ill enough to require at least a medical check up or 8% of those with at least moderate symptoms. Those who have it without showing any symptoms or just have a slight sore throat or cough could be an enormous figure. The testing from Iceland suggests this could be a truely enormous figure.

it must be , it has to be much higher. You can’t have people warning just how contagious this disease is for months and doing illustrations showing how the disease spreads so quickly and fast due to its high contagious rate and for it not to be too widespread. Either it isn’t as Contagious as people claim hence why we have 8k confirmed cases or it is just as contagious as those showing the modelling have shown in which case it has to be 100’s of thousands if not millions.

this has been here since the start of the year (at the latest) and social distancing only came in a few weeks ago, until that point we were all mingling freely.

i recall the chief scientists in one of the early press conference saying when “ herd immunity” was not a taboo subject that he was working on the basis that for every confirmed death there would be a further 1000 cases . Showing it’s much more widespread , but also that the mortality rate is 0.1%

I would have put a comma between ‘cure’ and ‘humans’.

And you'd be wrong. Colon or semi-colon is needed to indicate juxtaposition of the two clauses.

In XR’a defence, their other regional factions are condemning this.

I’ll be honest mate, I don’t disagree with that. Our planet needs humans to change our ways, or reduce in numbers, or die out completely.

The Chinese are not responsible for the way the outbreak is being managed in the UK.

That’s a complete non-sequitur.

A friend of ours and her husband have caught it. They were in contact with someone two weeks ago, who tested positive this week, but it’s not clear if they definitely caught it from her.

We saw our friends almost two weeks ago, after she had seen this girl but currently have zero symptoms.

Do we self isolate?

Yeah, that’s what I meant :-)

That's probably what I was going to say!
