Imperial College Covid 19 response team now saying that the "best case" scenario for the UK is 250,000. 30% of cases will end up in hospital and half of those will die. Their previously used models are a lot of shite.
This is some caper.
A 15 percent death rate is miles above anywhere else has experienced
Even Italy are at 7 percent and that's against only known tested cases

But why shouldn't they ?
We were just told this afternoon by our CEO that the company cared about us, blah, blah, blah, however the upshot of all the bollocks was that the show must go on and everyone would still be expected to turn up to our large City City Centre office as usual.
The majority of our 1,000+ workforce commute from Renfrewshire, Ayrshire and Lanarkshire so while we're being told by Gov to avoid social contact and only necessary travel etc, the reality is for most of us that we'll still be expected to turn up for work each day in crowded offices etc. So basically all the health and safety advice may work great in Governments fantasy world but back in the real world it's a completely different story.
Incidentally Schools remain open, Courts remain open and despite the rhetoric it's business as usual for most of us.
So personally I see no issue with going for a pint, especially if all the rest is deemed to be not only acceptable, but expected.
Trains, the office, off your family
That's usually where I've picked up a cold from

The theory I've seen is this shutdown is going to last months. If they blanket ban now, the stupid quotient will be flouting it within days and, like Italy, the whole thing will fall apart. However, if they make it voluntary at first, the majority will obey then get extremely pissed off at the stupid quotient flouting it. So when they do enforce it, the public will support the measure and self-police.
Who knows if they're right? The only thing we have to go on is Italy, who fucked it up.
Self police
Sort of like in death wish 2

Things are going to move very quickly from this point onwards.
Most European countries are effectively shutting down for the next 3 weeks, with only supermarkets and chemists remaining open.
Expect the same in the UK in the next few days.
The French are keeping fag shops open

You quite clearly didn't have the coronavirus, what with it being found only in Wuhan province in December 2019. The idea that it was also floating around some hick towns in Scotland is nonsense.
September wasn't it

I'd imagine we're a long way off that happening here though bringing the country to a standstill might be the only way to get through this.
Bringing on a global depression wouldn't be the bestest either though

The pub I was in last night was heaving. It seemed like everyone was trying to get a good Saturday night in before they get closed.
2020 the year of the house party.
Austria has banned any gathering of 5 or more
No parties happening there

If someone dies from something that is not Corona virus, but they have Corona virus, does this count towards the numbers?
For instance if someone has Corona Virus but dies in a crash?
On average 17000 die each year from seasonal flu

No frozen chips and no chicken or beef mince. Bog roll and soap all well gone. Tins of soup and beans was bare. Plenty of condoms. Went down to my local wee shop and got pasta and rice.
Think I might just start swiping on everything on Tinder to use those condoms.Bulgar wheat is easy to prepare and can bulk up a salad in a similar way to cous cous. You can add it to sauces to bulk up a meal as well. It's healthier than chips......but a lot less tasty.
No wonder had been left

I’m trying not to e cynical but this has really brought home how stupid many people are. Friends of mine who last week were posting Facebook memes and jokes about it are now posting that we sho7kd close every school and impose compete quarantines.
At the same time, my colleague who was on call last night was off to the pub and when I mentioned social distancing he jokingly said he’d wear a fat suit to keep people away from him, then he said seriously that the pubs would go bust if people stopped going.Many businesses may go bust
But with a 3 percent mortality rate as opposed to the 0.1 percent mortality rate of seasonal flu ( which itself kills on average 17000 a year) ...

I think his point is McGregor is pish for Scotland mate.
Nobody would argue your point that he’s a good SPL player buddy.
McGregor can go missing for Scotland
And can go missing in Europe
Which suggests SPL player
