Boring old flu and respiratory disease currently bumping people off by a 15:1 margin compared to the big scary new virus; so much for the 'but we've got a vaccine for that so it doesn't really matter' argument then.

Putting experts in inverted commas is telling.

It's in inverted commas because after 6 weeks i'd expect 'experts' to have gotten the majority of predictions correct.

They haven't.

I don't believe there will be a second wave after the summer. Some 'experts' say there will be.

An expert shouldn't have as much chance of being correct on something like that as a poster on Pie & Bovril.

'Experts' is correct.

How do those figures compare to the "died of coronavirus" figures reported in the media?

103 seems very low

New virus appears and cases grow exponentially and deaths from new virus grow exponentially

Experts and all of the world’s governments - do x, y and z or this might get a lot worse, although we recognise this will tank all of our economies so we’ll need to spend a fortune to avoid that

New virus continues to grow exponentially and deaths from new virus grow exponentially

Experts and all of the world’s governments ban going out unless necessary or you want an input on the caramel shortcake decision

Number of new cases of new virus and deaths from new virus drop

People without relevant qualifications - this was all a fuss over nothing

Shortages of household essentials caused by mercenary profiteering, as well as a widespread lack of faith in consumer capitalism.

Aye, the main lesson here is how bad socialism is.

Talking of greedy c***s, this must all be terrible news for the AirBnb owners who have bought up half of Edinburgh. That's a shame.

 

The Fringe going is really going to f**k these people.

Posted already but in the wrong place. Mrs Bs gran confirmed with corona. Last seen by Mrs B 2 days before I took no well.... Unsure when before that. Think I might have found my source though

She may well have found hers.

What's the need for universities and other learning institutions when we all know as much as the full qualified folk who spent years studying and researching their field?

I'm hoping to become a pilot soon. Don't need any training though as I know as much as the 'experts'. Might go dig up some oil in the North Sea as well. I hear it's lucrative and must be easy for me to do, as 'experts' do it and I know as much as the 'experts'. Think I then might become a cardiothoracic surgeon. Looks easy enough and if the 'experts' can do it then I can, as I know as much as they do. 

I'm also going to make my own paracetamol at home from elastic bands, Monster Munch and bin bags. Just like a so called 'expert' would!
