Guest Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 53 minutes ago, superbigal said: Belgium has the highest number of daily coronavirus deaths per head of population of any country in the world - but ministers say this is only because they are being more transparent with their data. The European nation had reported 4,857 deaths from coronavirus as of Thursday, an increase of 417 in 24 hours, despite having a relatively small population of 11.6million people. But, unlike many of its European neighbours, it is counting deaths outside of hospital and deaths where the patient had coronavirus symptoms but had not been tested in those figures. These deaths account for almost half of Belgium's total, meaning that the true scale of coronavirus deaths in other countries could be double the official figures if that trend is replicated elsewhere. Have we not started doing that now as well ? "We" as in Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
get_the_subbies_on Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Great stuff. A task force to develop a vaccine. Should we not have been working in this already? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should we not have been working in this already? I think this is more to get all of those working on it together. You often end up with different institutions doing their own thing, especially as they’ll be thinking down the road at funding etc. This is actually probably a good thing as it takes out any competitive element and means that they’ll all be working together.

Test everyone once. Or twice if the mortality climbs to 50%. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteRoseKillie Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 I was a regular at Elland Road in the late eighties and nineties. That man's an impostor- and probably a shite midfielder to boot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayrmad Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 37 minutes ago, Forest_Fifer said: Just looked at the latest daily NHS England stats, of the 738 deaths reported, they break down as 138, 320, 109, 45, 21, 11, 17 for the last 7 days from yesterday backwards, with the others prior to 10th April. The peak still appears to have been 8th April. Are we pursuing a hit n hope strategy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cam Girls Can Barely Keep Up with Quarantine Demand "I can't just spend the whole month dildo-ing myself." If you're going to be stuck at home for the foreseeable future, you might as well enjoy yourself. And looking at the booming traffic to adult sites like Pornhub and Onlyfans, that's clearly been the thought process for the thousands of people trying to beat lockdown loneliness one jerk at a time. We spoke to four cam girls about how all this is affecting both their bank balances and their hopes for any semblance of a healthy work-life balance. https://www.vice.com/en_uk/article/epg9xp/cam-girls-quarantine-demand Quote "Since websites like Pornhub have made their content free during the lockdown, people expect the same of us. I actually offer a 'lockdown pack' – it's €34 instead of €39 Aye hen, what a bargain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Bet when they relax the rules and encourage vulnerable groups to continue to self isolate while the rest can go out normally again, some pubs will try using the BAME stats as a colour bar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you they'd have to do the same on age which would probably make it unworkable for their average clientele in the kind of pubs I mean.
