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...

The area under observation has a population of 60 million which is comparable to the whole UK, just imagine putting the whole country isolation. Least it would shut queen nicola up for a day or two.

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"...

As you can see we are still taking issues aired very seriously, especially those that effect my pension. On the matter of coronavirus, anyone would think bubonic plague was rampaging across the planet. More people have died on Italian roads in the corresponding period than from this virus but no one suggests closing the autostrade.

Was on the tube today and wiped my forehead and let our a little cough. Suddenly had some extra room...😂
