Get off the pedant fence. They’re all responsible. Cummings included.

Johnson wouldn't think of these things without Cummings prompting him, ergo...

Could be worse, we could be the U.S, although I do agree that Cummings is a deeply disturbing individual. Thank f**k we have people like Chris Whittey and Patrick Vallance however that will lay it out in specific terms & will not kowtow to a bullying lurid tangerine wanktrumpet.

Random Guy has went back and deleted all his lunatic conspiracy posts from yesterday.
Shame they've all pretty much been quoted.
Hopefully his shelter building is going well.
If only a Moderator could correct such an oversight.

It’s not just the Highlands that’s seeing moronic people ‘fleeing cities’ a guy in my work has gone to his caravan in the borders and is all over Facebook about it, clearly thinks he’s the smartest guy in the room.

Not the same guy from the Work colleagues thread by any chance?

Those graphs are interesting. But what do they mean? Why are these regions so different?

Or are they just 'ahead of the curve' and the rest will catch up? Fkn hope not.

The chances of China's body count being accurate are essentially nil. It's a certainty that this is more widespread than is currently known or, more accurately, acknowledged.
Already reports of people with the same symptoms being hospitalised, dying and being cremated without ever being tested. And queues of people with symptoms being treated but not tested.
Not saying the world is going to end, but one of these viruses is going to do serious global damage sometime. It's a when, not an if.
Bad timing for Chinese New Year. Hundreds of millions of Chinese people on the move internally and internationally.

It's not a surprise though that no one was too alarmed

From memory the Chinese had avian flu, sars and mers all in the last 20 years

All localised outbreaks not spreading

Same with ebola in Africa

How wrong we were/are

Lombardy is where old folk generally go to die. Couple the ageing population with their flagrant disregard for flu vaccinations yearly etc, it was always going to be a particularly hard hit region with this.

Age of the population apparently

Italy have a very old population, second oldest in world

Mediterranean's living on fresh veg and olive oil rather than deep fried pizzas

A bit non plussed but slightly concerned

Advised them about to go into full shitting bricks mode

I foresee P&B becoming an invaluable online teaching aid for kids whilst school is out. 

Statistics, modern studies, grammatical / spelling correction expertise... what could go wrong? 

In the interests of grammar, do I then have permission to have a go when people keep saying "it's went from..."?

I accept that there are bigger problems right now, but it's driving me mad.

Yes, well..., IIRC it's no time at all since he and government et al, were mouthing 'Herd immunity' as the way to go.

Now they're  acting according to the modelling of the academics report from Imperial College, London.

Meanwhile, in the real world, Ireland has made huge orders for testing kits.

Here, the medics aren't even being tested, let alone the rest of us.

More doen to epicentres. Lombardy is the epicentre in Italy. Next two neighbour it.

No exponential  extrapolation required...
