Not sure on the comparison, I'm sure sex with Boris would be offensive but I wouldn't call him a sex offender for it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw this graph comparing the UK nations and London to the Lombardy and Italy curves. Still not convinced by per captia comparisons.

O'Kelly Isley III Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 The playing down of the situation combined with the general public probably feeling like they have done everything they can do now, and the figures will be what they are. The ones who have stuck by the lockdown at least. Prepare for much more playing down of the situation when it becomes apparent that the testing figures will get nowhere near what was promised. Sir Patrick Vallance got a bit shirty last night when the guy from Reuters suggested that the UK response to the impending crisis had been somewhere short of stellar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mate of mine is currently working in a factory owned by the former chairman of a prominent Scottish football club who is notoriously hostile to trade unions. Their workforce are being forced into returning to work full-time next week following 2 weeks of reduced working hours. Their business can certainly not be defined as a key industry. Who would be the best body to report them to? Any advice would be much appreciated. Cheers. Local paper will love this story but obviously take care not to identify what part of the process your pal works in 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was surprised by how many cars are on the road this morning - hope this is not a sign that people are starting to ignore the lock down. Maybe they were all getting their parents' shopping in too. I'm not having a pop but it always seems funny to me when someone criticises others for doing exactly what they are doing. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think the population is the biggest variable though. You can have similar populations but other variables will have a greater effect on such a transmissible disease (population density, number of major travel hubs, general arseholishness of the populace etc). Absolute deaths are what we are interested in here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
