Herman Hessian Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 good work that the four latest confirmed cases in the UK have, errr, just been flown back to the UK under the government's management and containment plans still - the more of the population who die, the fewer there are to bang on about potholes, affordable housing, carbon neutrality and the like, so a pretty sound approach from the perspective of shrewd politicking... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubei is 4 hours late. Manager keeping them in the dressing room as he sees South Koreans and Italiasn putting in a strong performance.To be fair Italy and South Korea are currently unplayable. Kind of typical of Italy, to miss fire in the group stages then find their stride in the knock out. South Korea, sometimes slow to pick up trends, but when they do they go all in.Meant to be in Indonesia next week but may cancel. Company I am due to visit have a few people with flu/virus infections. Of course not coronavirus. mmmmm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was before it hit so not a scaremongering thing imo https://futurism.com/neoscope/recent-simulation-coronavirus-killed-65-million-people Quote To be clear, the Center for Health Security and partners did not make a prediction during our tabletop exercise. For the scenario, we modeled a fictional coronavirus pandemic, but we explicitly stated that it was not a prediction. Instead, the exercise served to highlight preparedness and response challenges that would likely arise in a very severe pandemic. We are not now predicting that the nCoV-2019 outbreak will kill 65 million people. http://www.centerforhealthsecurity.org/newsroom/center-news/2020-01-24-Statement-of-Clarification-Event201.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross.
