Italy Coronavirus: 31,506 Cases and 2,503 Deaths ...

..so far

 

China is not the epicentre anymore.

That makes perfect sense, but wasn’t it quite some time before China clamped down? Some time in February?? So they also had it running wild for some time..

 

I get that Pete but statistically Italy is in the China numbers ballpark regarding cases v deaths - still not the 100,000’s plus deaths though

 

all schools to close from friday in the UK

 

I agree that social distancing and taking appropriate precautions will be very beneficial to the outcome, I’m trying to get a real perspective of the likely prognosis(?)

Whilst it’s crucial that awareness is raised and the general public is communicated with and educated to takes proper precautions panic should not be created

It seems to me that the modelling is slanted heavily on the pessimistic side and as long as we all act responsibly deaths will be in the 000’s rather than the 100,000’s - not that that’s much comfort for anyone losing a loved one though!!

 

FFS, they've just shut all Schools as of Friday

This means I could be off work till the middle of August.

Up to 21 weeks of paid leave

 

That's funny, just seen school kids posting they don't have to go on the bus with that smelly driver !!!!

 

I knew I had some somewhere in my garage but it’s only 99% pure.

I don’t think its gone off, just looking for a guinea pig to try, anyone any ideas

 

Even @dilligaf has his standards mate....

 

What do you mean by that,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,the glass is clean

 

meh, livers are overrated anyway

 

I like your thinking

 

HEY ya bastids
I’m in the garage working on something for CERBERUS part one and I have a sit down for a vape and decide to have a look and see what’s going on
and I find this in what should be a serious thread

SERIOUS THREAD
Sorry I forgot where I am

 

Can we have a F*^k you imoji!!

 

Went down to my dads today to take him to the doctors, he’d had a fall and needed dressings changed, went to get some lunch from the supermarket and witnessed a woman putting her basket down and taking a trolley saying” I didn’t realise the shelves were so empty, I had better have a trolley!”
So was she going to take the empty shelves, air or decide she needed everything people were leaving behind?

 

Just sat here for a dump, had to take one of our last 3 rolls in with me !!!

Thinking of going on the co-codamols, that'll block me up for a week

 

Love the white mask Ron. Is it fully effective?

 

Guys please congratulate me on the successful purchase this morning of a 6 pack of toilet rolls. Not any old toilet roll, oh no. This is specially for kids with cartoony things printed on it.
In order to nab this luxurious item I had to be waiting for our supermarket Albert Heijn to open at 7am this morning.
There were only 2 packs available and thanks to me sprinting to the right aisle managed to nab one of them.
I came away shouting “Yes!”, “Yes!” to myself as I left the shop as though I’d scored a Goal for England.
Is this really what’s its come to.!!
Anyway now I can in complete luxury.
