COVID-19 — Coronavirus

Heres a sobering thought. SARS was in 2003.........and they still dont have a vaccine

Because it pretty much died away and so did the funding and need.

Spain has low death figures etc, and is allowing 3 kids with 1 adult for walks once a day.
Fines as follows if rules not complied with:

601 euro for more than 3 per adult, going in parks, not keeping 2 metre rule from others, etc with highest minimum fine for not keeping to 1 kilometre distance from home which starts at 1501 euro fine. Unlikely maximum of 30k euro fine for all individual offences.

For Andalucia opening of some shops and some cafės end of next month.

Edit:
Seems Andalucia cannot make decision regarding its shops etc it has to come from Central Government so possibly a little premature.

True, but it's also the case that it was proving difficult and not much progress had been made.

This Edward Argar handling himself well under onslaught from Piers and Susannah, seems a pretty sharp guy.

This Edward Argar handling himself well under onslaught from Piers and Susannah, seems a pretty sharp guy.

The sad thing is, Piers convinces his cult followers that he does it in order to hold people to account and receive answers.

This is bollocks, he does it for twitter likes, RTs and to boost his inflated ego. Susannah is just his little lap dog.

The broadcasting in general has been awful, less about genuine interviewing and more about fame whoring journalists improving their profile.

There was a German minister on Marr this morning saying for every 20,000 people it would require a team of at least five personal to carry out contact tracing. That's a huge undertaking to coordinate something to that degree.

Indeed it is. But South Korea did it.
We need such teams as Civil defence for the next virus to "escape" from China.

Boris doing a press conference soon

Surely he's got to give Adam Boulton time to get his lip balm on.

What do all 16,250 of them do for the rest of the time? One could go through two careers back to back and not be needed.

He looks well to be fair although needs a haircut

Obsessed about ending the lockdown so they can spend months complaining it was lifted too soon, deaths have risen, people are exposed etc. rather than another month of briefings, clapping and zoom concerts.

The press bulshit mantra
5 weeks ago: Lock down, lock down, lock down.
Now: Open up, open up, open up, upon up.
A few weeks time if we do open up: Too soon, we weren't ready!
A few weeks time when we do start to open up: you waited to long! We could have opened up sooner.

What a bunch eh? What is the collective noun for idiots?
EDIT:
I looked it up and apparantly it's a Thicket, though I think a Village would be more appropriate.

Interesting maths you’ve got there.

65m / 20,000 = 3,250 (x5) means 16,250 contact tracers.

If we ignore Merseyside then we can reduce that number by around 275

 

[Bazzmand Show]

Surely given what Boris is saying here, asking people to remain patient - the whole rush of football restarting is nonsense?

 

[Phil1]

He’s not lost his ability to throw out a sound bite or two.

They had created one but didn't trial it because the SARS outbreak was over.
There are ongoing trials for a MERS vaccine though as it keeps reemerging.

It would be like a branch of the Territorial Army. Regular practice and work furloughs paid for by the state.

Love him or hate him and I'm no lover, the Boris speech was excellent this morning...."Give your heads a fucking wobble"

Then I’m in.

He's at his best when he looks like an old english sheepdog. Bwahhhhh
