COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[Bill Walker]

Talking about Americans elsewhere in europe, if flights aren't allowed, then even if they are exempt there are no flights back.

I meant they can get a flight to London then on to USA

I am getting married 04/04 and starting to seriously worry it won't happen. Can anyone offer me some reassurance?

Depends if it warms up a bit by then, it’s only a bit of flu.

How does that work if there are no flights ?

Raft across the Atlantic.

Brilliant report that. The bit that stood out was the following: All-cause mortality
• In week 09 2020, no statistically significant excess all-cause mortality by week of death was seen overall in England. In the devolved administrations, no statistically significant excess all-cause mortality for all ages was observed in Wales and Northern Ireland in week 09 and for Scotland in week 07 2020.

This is the part of the report that should be being constantly looked at (as it undoubtedly is being). If the above gets changed to 'statistically significant excess all-cause mortality by week of death, week after week, then something will need 'to be done'. What is happening, generally speaking, is that people are forgetting that people die every day and just seeing the virus as a 'killer'. That is; 'If not for the virus, the death rate from pneumonia type illness would be nil', which is demonstrably false.
Currently, self confessed experts wanting 'something to be done' are guilty of the Politician's syllogism...

1. 'Something' must be done
   
2. Here is 'something we could be doing'
   
3. Therefore, this is what we must do.

You’re misunderstanding the meaning of ‘All-cause Mortality’ in that report (which is specifically a summary of non-novel “influenza and other seasonal respiratory illnesses”).

Without wanting to downplay things, the thought that Mendy could be the catylist which prevents Liverpool winning the league fills my heart with joy.

I'm heading to Valencia in a week for some sailing. Or I would be if the world han't gone fucking mad.
Got a feeling I'm going to be looking for a new job once the hysteria ends.

I wouldn't worry about hysteria-driven measures if I were you, considering what the UK government plan is.

As for Valencia, you could also try sailing directly to it.

If true he'll be asking Mario if he can borrow his T shirt.
