QUOTE (TallDarkAndHandsome @ Jan 26 2020, 11:58 AM) Toooo many people in the world...
#justsaying One day something will sweep across the planet and that will be that. Read an article a number of years ago that purported that it may well have been a viral pandemic that wiped out the dinosaur, as their resistance was effected by climate change owing to the Chicxulub asteroid. For asteroid read climate change and start worrying.

Someone I know works at a company that supplies them and a major ahem online retailer just tried to buy all of them (50000) in one go...presumably so they could rake in a massive profit. They were turned down...

Still, don't let facts get in your way. 😁 Us thick brexiteers dont do facts fella. Surely you know that? Though I did predict Trump, Boris and Brexit. Next up.... a global pandemic. Maybe not Corona but something else like bird flu... gonna happen. It's a cert. It's in certain peoples "interests"...

QUOTE (James_Trinder @ Mar 18 2020, 08:22 AM) I've been asked to work from home from today onwards. The main thing that I am going to miss is the banter and general cameraderie in the office. Obviously I don't remember wartime but I would imagine that this is what it was like. Yep. Sitting at home with Netflix and a plethora of other entertainment. With home delivery from the supermarkets...just like the war..🤣

I was more referring to the pull together mentality, the Blitz like spirit and the curtailment of individual freedoms for the greater collective good.

And get where you are coming from. I have been taken aback a bit by the world response. I'm not quite sure that if only 1% were going to die we would have seen such a huge effort. My guess is they know something we don't.

All about the wording. I think the average annual mortality is about the same so it could be said that twice as many people will die at the moment. Not sure what balm pot advised the government to close the schools but the idea of millions of kids running free and carrying the virus to all and sundry is more worrying in that the outbreak graph will peak far more acutely leading to complete social breakdown.

And I have been timing my runs to the shop (I go only when I actually need something) to when the kids are in school. Are they going to be kept in by stressed overworked parents? I doubt it.. bloody nightmare.
