As I said though, the likes of London should be screwed in relation to the rest of the country. Maybe we should try a reverse poll tax experiment, where everyone in London try's out the "herd immunity" option and the rest of us can wait and see if it works or not ???? At least if it doesn't, it should help with their overcrowding problem. The virus is in the population already. That has happened. Complete lockdown will slow the spread, but it will eventually spread anyway. That's why the UK is waiting. That might be the right call, it might be the wrong call, but there's logic behind it. Locking everyone in their home would likely just lead to a big spike later. China may see this soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently he has also just rinsed Piers Morgan on the telly. In classic Scottish style, the next item was the travel news, where the first reported issue was sheep on the road in Aberdeen. Business as usual. This guy has already hit "legend status", he comes across brilliantly and is absolutely miles ahead of anyone else I've seen. He speaks in simple easy to understand terms, he answers every question put to him and he also gives the impression of being completely in control and exudes an air of modest confidence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rent payments, community charge starting next month. Money might become worthless if this pandemic becomes even worse than it is now. Holidays flights & Hotels cancelled, Sky / Virgin subscriptions stopped or downgraded, local Sports and Community clubs in dire straits, Bookmakers taking a huge hit, Football Clubs, Racecourses, Rugby clubs, Bowling Clubs, Golf Clubs will all struggle to survive. Over and above these obvious things, the construction industry will be hit, advertising firms will be completely screwed, retail which is already struggling badly will take another huge hit which will finish many, then you have the major retail landlords and property developers such as INTU on the brink of collapse. Tourism also brings in fortunes to local economies and that's all but stopped. Socialising will also virtually stop which then hits Bars, Restaurants, Cinemas, Theatres etc. There really is an almost endless list and the Economic fallout is already unimaginable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seemed before that wisdom was in Panadol if you got the covid. Does this advice cover that? Well that's fine as it's just paracetamol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But apparently not. Seems that what you do is quarantine healthy people with their sick family and eventually they pass it on at different rates and then when everyone comes out they pass it on again and off we go. It seems there's a best time to do this and it's not necessarily early. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can address the economic consequences I imagine over 80% of the population could largely self isolate. Need to go out for food shopping but otherwise not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonS Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 55 minutes ago, OSP said: The epidemiologists in Scotland have no idea where all this discussion about the approach being to create a herd immunity has come from. As far as they are concerned, it is definitely not the strategy that is currently being implemented in Scotland. Also, their modelling reckons the current infection rate is somewhere between 5,000 and 10,000 people just now. But with the testing only being done for those in hospital or certain situations, they reckon the official number could actually stay the same in the next week or so, despite it not being the real picture out there. Mental. Which epidemiologists? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
