Corona Virus

Good to read some of the science behind it all.

 

Friend of mine from Brighton said he was going to visit his mother in Nottingham. I said 'Why don't you come via us?'. Haven't heard from him since.

 

Erin Bromage has a blog that I have found very helpful. He explains the science in clear, concise, and practical ways. I've posted this link previously but here it is again for easy access.

This is why the "i'm alright jack" approach doesn't work. You might be healthy and at low risk of a severe infection but....

Yep seen that earlier today. A very worrying development.

 

We've got mink farms with infected animals...

 

Old news.

Got to keep us scared, though.

 

It'll be entertaining to see all the ways people make their pets wear masks.

 

We gassed the mink farms.

 

Is the fur still good?

 

Yep.

 

The source or the animals?

It's the first UK cat, but not the first story in the UK media.

Nice.

 

“Scared” Is one way to put it. I would reframe it as “informed”. People’s emotional response to the same information varies.

 

About the same here, I think.

 

That's a few fur coats or willy warmers, keep away from the chinese takeaways for a while.

gotta stop these late night tipples

 

We all know that drinking and driving is a dangerous combination. But drinking and posting....that presents a whole new realm of danger, Don!

 

In the early 1980s protesters released mink from a farm near Slapton leys in south devon . Great deed you might say but it wiped out the water vole population, fish and the wild fowl in the nature reserve lake behind the beach. The mink were all trapped or shot.

 

How do you titillate an ocelot? You oscillate it's tit alot.

 

I've already got a willy warmer, thank you, and it's better than mink.
