Wouldn't it be highly ironic that following the previously touted as healthy Mediterranean diet as the Italians do is bad for you whereas deep frying the f**k out of everything protects you from coronovirus...

It won't, UK (Scotland included) is completely fucked, starting in a few days time. It's too late now to do anything, not that very much has been done anyway. 

 

I can't believe what I'm reading online from Scotland. People seem to think this is all a big jolly and its just like a school holiday. Hundreds of people are going to be dieing daily very soon. Maybe then Scotland will take this seriously. It seems the only way. 

 

Young people are not immune, statistics from Korea showed that the 20-29 age  group are actually the most likely to catch the virus. It will affect them very badly also, the only difference being that they have a better chance of not dieing.

Isle of Man has just done that.
They’ve brought in a law saying everyone who arrives on the island has to isolate for 14 days. Someone didn’t and has now been arrested. Punishment is to be either a £10,000 fine or a prison sentence.

 

 

The Isle of Man has a population of 85,000, one airport and one ferry terminal. They have a chance to keep the virus out entirely. That was never an option in a place like Scotland.

The fact that Milan and northern Italy has a high percentage of Chinese workers shows you just how important social distancing and testing is.
I also hope that Italy is worse because of this and it isn't really what everywhere will be like. Iran was bad and they have a small chinese community.
Possibly Iran's problem is a cover up. I read that if you look at the politicians effected then multiply this by the population then its half a million. Hopefully this is well off but lots of their politicians were unwell.

The first identified case in Northern Italy was an Italian who'd come back from Wuhan.

Chinese people don't spontaneously develop Covid-19.

My son was on a train a few weeks ago, and a stupid woman started giving a Chinese guy in a mask a load of shit. She was huckled by the police at the next station. Careless talk fuels zoomers.

That'll be that c***s license pulled there and then.

That's what these eejit owners are too thick to realise, council can suspend/remove their license with immediate effect if they think they have just reason to do so, and he could find himself barred from ever holding one again.

That's the owner's Ferrari parked outside. I'm sure it was paid for with entirely legitimate funds.

Someone on Twitter linked to a story about him already being in bother, and his licence being at risk. I wonder if he thought "fk out, let's go out with a bang".

Reminds me of a scene from the Woody Allen film Sleeper where the main character awakens from cryostat is and amongst other things discovers that the advice on healthy eating is the exact opposite of what it had been.

Yes it would be ironic if true but it is not true.

If this was an issue about clean water and food poisoning you might have a point but this pandemic is not like Cholera or Dysentery.  You get the infection from other people - not from what food you eat.

Sadly this was always going to be the case.

Some folk will only take this seriously when someone they know dies or is critically ill. For the young it might be quite remote, like a friend’s uncle; for the elderly it might be one of the other people who they were joking with the thing about over a coffee just a fortnight before.

Of course by that point the spread will be far greater than it would have been if folk hadn’t been so blasé.

Such is the volume of this thread that you can only really skim read what you miss overnight etc.

But, is oaksoft making a play here to get his name into the P&B hall of utter psychos?

He seems to be losing it at an alarming rate. Raging about dots being the latest psycho KPI to be met.....

My understanding of that Korean data is that it shows that the 20-29 age group were far more likely to have the virus than previously thought and the majority were asymptomatic.

Sounds like someone else has encountered Wisbit/Munoz.

 

'...there are some people here who are not aware of gravity' is a cracking insult.

I wonder if she meant '...are not aware of the gravity of the situation' but I prefer the insulting interpretation.
