And yet the government is doing absolutely nothing to enforce isolation from ventilators

It was fairly devious of the virus to only infect people who would be asymptomatic for a month or so, before starting to infect the others. You wouldn't have to be asymptomatic. Just mild enough not to seek medical treatment and normal enough symptoms that you would not attribute it to an exotic vi...

Interesting spectator article which touches on the reasons behind the different mortality rates reported in different countries.

Yeah, really seems like the government is struggling to get the kits it needs.

Not sure why people are trying to convince themselves that everyone has had it already and it's just that we didn't notice. ICU's are being overrun with healthy people. They won't show up in the death statistics for the most part but I think we'd have noticed a need for a lot more ICU beds around t...

I reckon in 3 weeks time we're going to start getting the antibody tests back in the UK and realise that everyone here got coronavirus back in late December/early January, that the disease is 10 times more virulent and 10 times less deadly than we expected, and that this lockdown was a giant waste ...

Worth bearing in mind that the usual hospital test will only show whether you're in the midst of it, it won't show if you've already been exposed to it in the past.

And I'll join the hordes of people with anecdotes about having it before it was reportedly here. For me back in late December, had awful muscle aches, constant headache. Symptoms receded for a day or two, long enough for me to return home from my parents. Then was just sat on my sofa and absolutely ...

IP. Would be fine if my biggest client wasn't a huge aerospace supplier. Anyone exposed to airlines is farked.

I know a guy who knows a guy who works for ITV news. I know that sounds tenuous, because it is, but I think he might actually be gone.

On further reflection I've decided it's probably all bollocks.

Chinese food practices are awful. In China, they fed pig brain remains to sheep and cows, which gave them an incurable prion disease which rotted their heads from the inside out. It got into the human food supply and killed 100% of the people it infected and oh wait, no, that was in Britain, sorry.

Is there any proof that shutting the borders works, unless you have zero local transmission? "Works"? It certainly stops cross-border transmission. Obviously it won't stop local transmission. Not sure what you are asking. Whether it makes a difference to the spread of the virus. It's an interesting...

I'm afraid I can't find anything citeable. I saw it repeated a great deal on Reddit, but it looks like I might have just been repeating some fake news. Sorry for misleading you! Speculation seems to be that Germany's cases of infection are in a much lower age bracket (40s rather than 60s) and/or the...

Germany only lists deaths as coronavirus related if the deceased had no underlying conditions. If someone in the UK with lung cancer dies with coronavirus, they are listed as part of the statistics, whereas the same person dying in Germany would not be. IIRC that was also the Chinese approach until...

What is happening in Germany? Only 8 deaths so far. France have fewer cases yet x10 number of fatalities. The German rates seem more level with us than with France German rates of death and critical are way ahead of everyone else. Even South Korea. So what is Forrester saying, then? I’m not saying ...

And there goes France's 6 nations. Shaun Edwards does the best he can but that kind of stupidity just seems to be engrained.

How Tuilagi's was a red and Parkes' wasn't is beyond me. What happened to those mitigating criteria they're meant to go through?

Third deliberate knock-on yellow in the Saints Saracens game.

While we're on the subject of Saints no. 8s and their continuing search for a 'big bloke', am I completely insane for thinking that they might be sitting on a potential great 8 in Naiyaravoro? If you look at all the good parts of his game, it's stuff traditionally done by an 8 - first phase crash ba...

Ludlum is pure work rate, spends no time on the floor or out of the game. I think he’s picked solely for his engine? Strange one for sure- at saints Harrison offers more carry, bigger hits, general game influence. Harrison is probably Saint's key player and standout forward of the last couple of se...
