Weirdly James May started a YouTube series a couple of months ago jokingly teaching young people about Spam and sandwich spreads and other 1970s stuff.

I mentioned spam & powdered eggs at work last night and excepting one woman who is slightly older than me I got just blank looks. They actually thought I was joking about the powdered eggs. The human race won't survive a proper apocalypse.

A doctor was explaining that it would take up to 2 weeks to make a difference to the figures.

Like I said, today’s the first day it’s not gone up exponentially so hopefully the lockdown is starting to work.

That's great news. Would you class yourself as fairly fit ? (Aerobically I mean).

Have any stats been released about the ages of those contracting it?

I'd have thought children would be more likely to get it as they wash their hands less often and through playing would be touching more people

 

[idahoblues]

Yeap it was that good,she never bit into it

Because the people that are dying today caught the virus 3-4 weeks ago. The people testing positive would have gotten it 1-2 weeks ago.

The lockdown happened 5 days ago.

Time perception is a strange thing. Seems like ages ago they went into lockdown, not 5 days.

Yeah just like flu that.

Christ, an entire month.

Because they locked down too late it had been in the country for a few weeks and people were still traveling all over the country.

They have said it will take time from the lockdowns start for it to steady amd start reducing.

Nevermind, at least it's given us the chance to learn from their mistakes and do things differently :-(
