COVID-19 — Coronavirus

Whatever anyone thinks of Boris he looked knackered tonight. He has has about 5 days off all year. A new dad and could earn 10 times more not being pm and he gets endless shit. A thankless task and he is doing his best.

5 days off all year?!?

I don't fucking think so.

No no no it is not. Nor do you follow through after the throat one.

No way is the throat one worse. I have to have it every 2 years piece of piss no sedative required and only lasts 15mins. The arse one however is grim. The preparation stuff you have to take before it is horrific and you darent be more than 5 seconds from a toilet

Cases leveling off the last few days based on the figures, Last week they were saying 100000 cases a day.

That 100000 was the top end of the estimate of 1 study, there were several others mostly much lower, 50000 seems about the average of all, so it's not unreasonable to go with that number, they are only studies, and based on a whole range of things, some are just computer models, the best study is the ONS as it has actual tests of people who are selected randomly, and will pick up asymptomatic cases.

Must be difficult 2m apart ?



The graph they showed tonight showed that R had come down a bit, but it was still above 1.

The R rate has come down in England this week too and we're only under partial lockdown.

If I was panic buying, it would be tinned spam all the way. Lasts forever that stuff. I think they found a can from the 1950’s recently that was still edible!

Was that in February time when they had the meetings about this Coronavirus thing that definitely won't be a problem?

I thought he looked ill/stressed, hardly a surprise given what he's trying to deal with.

Rightly or wrongly he's been trying to keep moral up, but he's realised he had to throw in the towel, that must be pretty stressful.

Yes, see later post. You said it was "accelerating", it isn't. Cases are still growing though.

Used to wipe my arse on a dot leaf when I was caught short outside as a kid.
