So if they haven't tested anyone, how did they get that figure ? They're testing people in hospital who are suspected to have it, but not c***s in the community who are symptomatic any more 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take the point, but I wasn't trying to compare them. I'm just saying we don't have a running score with daily updates. It's making this more political than it needs to be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 One of my friends just posted this on FB, which surprises me as I always saw Inverurie as being a fairly respectable place: I'm in Tesco Inverurie, and they announced "all available colleagues to rumble in aisle 9" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 28 minutes ago, Todd_is_God said: The figures also only ever go up. Anyone who recovers is still included in the running total. Someone mentioned the swine flu pandemic a decade ago, and how the figures were also huge but there was very little panic. Social media is absolutely driving fear. Bigger numbers lead to more clicks, and also leads to the panic buying we have been seeing over the last week. Swine Flu took about 18 months to go away, during which time life pretty much continued as normal. This level of panic is unsustainable for that long. The major difference this time is the unprecedented action being taken by Governments throughout the world. Make no mistake the threat here is very real and is not just a social media driven frenzy. Stockmarkets have collapsed, Economies are in ruin and there will be mass unemployment throughout the developed world. As I say, this is much much more than a bit of irrational panic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So disappointing.......... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossDee01 Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 My job relies pretty much solely on American tourists so while this travel ban is in place I’m likely to not earn a penny. Tough times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dog comes with us & 1 of us walks dog by the river, other 1 gets the shopping (me).
