He doesn't seem to be, no.

ETA: Unfair on Leitch. It's a group effort. A number of posters seem to have been mildly amused by the idea that Malaysia's health officials could be considered in any way equal to the UK's. Which is interesting.

In  happier news I reckon we are in for a post war style boom time after this.

Pubs restraunts and hotels will be full. Football grounds will be jam packed. People will be splurging money at the shops. Full employment.

Alongside that folk will demand a fully funded NHS and social services, an end to insecure employment and insecure housing.

Please don't reply to this with anything to contrary I'm not interested. This is what s keeping me going.

I agree that the pubs, restaurants and hotels will be full, mainly because there will only be about 2 of each left.

Thought Jason Leitch spoke very well there tbh. I like people that just answer questions very straight.

One thing's for sure, when the football comes back I'm not touching the pies at the first game.

A mild case or more than one bottle?

This letter thing is beyond ridiculous.

Please forgive my ignorance and naivety for this question. In respect of the economic ramifications, is this expected to be just as bad as the Spanish flu for the economy?

A whole case is just ridiculous.

Since the Spanish flu was stuck on to the end of WW1, that would be highly unlikely.

Wife away back to the coal face today after our isolation. Some of the patients at her work are confirmed with the virus.

Pray 4 the immunity levels of the Bairnardos.....

[Alert Mongoose]

It would be interesting if someone was able to trace how much of an impact keeping Cheltenham on had. In hindsight (though not strictly needed) that was a ludicrous decision.

HARO, Spain — 

 

As in many communities worldwide, a coronavirus outbreak has hit Haro, a town of 12,000 that is the de facto capital of La Rioja, Spain’s prized wine region.

But the town — famed for its production of Tempranillo and for an annual Wine Battle festival in which participants spray, pour and toss red wine at one another — has come under another plague: misinformation.

Last weekend, many news outlets circulated inaccurate reports that the streets had been blockaded, neighborhoods quarantined and the town placed under a lockdown similar to the one imposed in Italy. One widely circulated image showed a street that had been blocked off — but in reality that street had been closed for construction. Residents — and eventually the region’s health ministry — tried to fight back with facts, but it has been a frustrating battle.

Always the same.
