tbf I didn't even know usa had the dole with which people to claim - is this jump in numbers the people claiming for the new emergency funds that D-Trump has made available ? and how many of these are furloughs or genuine redundancies ? stats on their own are very open to misinterpretation, but no ...

If 6 months ago I told you that in 6 months time 10 million North Americans would file for unemployment claims in the space of two weeks and you had to guess the corresponding S&P market value, would you guess Jan 2019 levels? Well the market lost all its gains from 2017 onwards prior to the initia...

Anyone got any decent football documentaries they can recommend? I loved Sunderland Till I Die and the second season is coming soon. An Impossible Job is class and still one of my favourite documentaries in any genre. You have to feel sorry for Graham Taylor by the end of it. maradona one if you ha...

Anyone else here think that the numbers of cases recorded are just misleading? I wouldn't be surprised if, when we get the antibody test, it shows that half the population have already had it. If that is the case, then this disease is not much more deadly than normal flu. This has been disproved ti...

Spain now has more deaths than China. 738 dead in 24 hours. Less attention on Spain than Italy but the seem to be in worse shape Spain has been heading towards being worse than Italy for over a week now. It's been flagged on here but the focus will remain on Italy as we observe whether they've peak...

Gibberish.

German stats are weird. They can't be reporting their serious/critical cases correctly. Or they’re less old people catching it. A lot less. They're running at 0.5% serious cases (death/serious/critical combined) . Even South Korea is on 1.5%. That's bizarre. Someone mentioned before that in Italy t...

Extract of an email from a mate who had an email from a senior doctor at UCH London (his close mate) Had a 15 minute conversation with one of the UCH radiologists.

Some companies are enforcing WFH policies but that's not really enough as people end up working where they like as no one wants to be cooped up at home. That's fine if you're an office worker with a laptop and on a fixed salary. If you're a person on an hourly contract or you only get paid if you t...

Yes, the death rate is likely overestimated because 100% of the people who are contaminated don't get tested. The article in the Irish time is a perfect example. I feel, for example, that the coronavirus outbreak here in the US is much bigger than reported because there are not enough tests to chec...

The smartest choice for VP would probably be Klobuchar, so it's not going to be her. Not sure VP pick matters though, another bit of conventional wisdom without a basis. It might damage a campaign, maybe, but it's not going to deliver one to victory. Usually I'd agree. But when you have a 78 yo v 7...

One thing is noticeable from my news feeds, Hillary is getting a fair bit of browser turf. It's all innocuous stuff now, but you pick up on these things as it works through. Certainly hope somebody isn't trying to tee her up as a VP choice. Biden if he wins would be much better off with a woman POC...

Warren coming third in her state is bad and coming 4th in both Texas and California even worse. She obviously lost the most from Amy and Pete dropping out.

We've had a good bit of female executives at a governor level. There are 9 presently.

North Carolina Democrat voter on a message board I'm on: About 7 or 8 people at work today voiced that they were upset that they voted early because their 'nominee' dropped out.

Amy out too and backing biden.

Seems like the establishment convinced the candidates to back out ahead of super tuesday to give biden the best chance.

Except we completely screwed up against little pressure against England. It was stupid mistakes we ourselves made that lost us the game, and it wasn't a case of England being brilliant.

Don't be fooled by the seemingly low numbers of infections in the US (60 at time of publication): by Wednesday the country had tested only 426 people. Only three of the 100 public health labs even have working test kits. One reason why South Korea appears to have so many cases is because it has car...

On a scale if 1 to Wales 2019, that was about 6 or 7 in the awful stakes. We've played a lot worse in the last 10 years. Except so many of those performances have been in the past year or so. Eng x3, Wales and NZ being 5 of the top 10 for the past 10 years. Which generously excludes the defeat to J...
