Slow news day? The real deal? End of the world? 
 

They’re saying it probably came from an animal, has Somebody been shagging monkeys again? 

The SAGE report suggested intermittently making the restrictions more severe, then releasing them for a period, then back again to total lockdown.

It's all aimed at stopping the NHS getting overwhelmed. The acceptance is that 80% of us will get it. All these efforts are geared at management. Which makes sense.

But. But.

Something about the concentration of cases in Italy and Spain makes me think it's not the whirlwind it appears based on that. I honestly reckon a fair few of us have had it and don't know.

The real proof would be in those antibody tests, which can't come soon enough. They could end this madness quickly.

That makes sense to me but how difficult that would be in practice is anyone’s guess.

Sounded very much fingers in ears to me, very brexit like.

I have got a bad feeling about all this.

On a really optimistic note, a poor old bloke the missus was looking after last Sunday died yesterday on the Covid isolation ward. I am starting to worry it is getting all rather close to home.

There is some evidence playing out in front of us what this virus is capable of.

Don't go Andy Burnham on us now!

On a more positive note; Lancashire county council are looking at redeployment of personnel not in essential services to provide support to the elderly/vulnerable, by ensuring they have shopping, medicines etc.

Whether it will be needed, guess we'll see.

39 deaths today, up to 167 in total

Lombardy the runaway leader, and as we know that's where 100k from Wuhan reside now.

That guy whose link I put up the other week wasn't a conspiracy theorist or Nostradamus,  just purely pointing out factual evidence related to the numbers returning from Wuhan after their New Year and where it would be most likely to spread.

He's been spot on so far.

Been told to prepare for big announcement at 5pm, I think it might be lockdown time.

The rumours are that all pubs, restaurants, cinemas etc in London will be told to close and that 1.5m at risk people (asthma etc) will be instructed by the NHS to self isolate

39 today

Levelling out?

Not sure how to dig it out on here, probably about hundred pages back, some guy from on Twitter.

Will check though
