eez-eh Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 At the shop earlier and the shelves of soap had been absolutely ravaged, think there was about 2 bottles left. People are fannies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got far more chance of catching it in a busy pub watching it on the telly than a half empty football ground. And if you have it, spreading it to a lot of people. Daft if true. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't imagine that working in Inverness, far less Italy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eednud Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 @DeeMan running out of dunny paper? Today’s NT News has a helpful tip and 8 page pull-out section. The West Australian will be a good substitute although it’s already full of shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorlomin Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/03/who-says-coronavirus-death-rate-is-3point4percent-globally-higher-than-previously-thought.html W.H.O suggest the death rate in China may have been 3.4% of those infected. This is the country we have by far the best data for. But it has an ageing demographic (this will become a major political and social problem in the coming two decades, but that goes for much of the developed world). They also had a period of no real monitoring or proper control due to it emerging there. Also they have incredibly bad pollution that may have an impact on it as it is a respiratory disease. Italy seems to have a higher mortality rate than other countries. Perhaps this is due to it being endemic and transmission now from person to person in Italy mean its hitting a different demographic to other countries where most cases are being acquired by people visiting places like Italy and China, this will mean mostly people who are business\travelling age. So perhaps less of the elderly than a general western demographic? We are many weeks from this taking hold in the general population even if it does become established here. So now we have had the initial news burst there is going to be something of a quiet period of most transmissions being from abroad, we will likely start seeing know it alls try to dismiss this as an over reaction, "just another flu" or something. Especially in the tabloid media. The best data we have says this is a serious problem if it get established. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty dingus Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 (edited) 4 new cases in Thailand [source] - a 22 year-old Chinese male student who was screened with symptoms while in transit at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport while traveling from Iran to China. This guy must have suicidal tendencies. Edited March 5, 2020 by dirty dingus 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiG Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 There were no toilet rolls, soap, sanitizers etc in Sainburys at Meadowbank last night and precious little milk as well. Full on panic mode it seems down EH7 way. Anyway, this is a good read: 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bendan Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 The Uk already seems to be giving up, despite the fact that it's clear we will be absolutely ****** if we let it spread unchecked. I think the reality is we simply don't have the ability, never mind the will, to do what China, Singapore and South Korea are doing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
