Chinese "Devil Virus" - anyone worried?

He probs needs some oxygen support. It hits fatties much worse.

*Must not eat a six pack of quavers for breakfast again*

I don't understand how people who work from home, or look after kids, or both, are not all about 25 stone.

There's food everywhere!

Every cupboard is full of delights! Crisps! Snacks! Biscuits! Sweets! And the fridge! Oh my.

I don't get out of the house for a bike ride for exercise, just to get away from all that fooood.

It's a fucking nightmare.
 
Some interesting data has come out about countries that have BCG vaccination having ten times fewer deaths than those that don't.

The UK current figures seem to fly in the face of that data though.
 
They're saying New Orleans death rate is four times higher than NYC because of obesity. Not good to read when you're getting stuck into your 7th pint of IPA and it's one in the afternoon

If I didn’t have kids I’d be bevvying like it’s a holiday. Waking up and having “airport” pints at 7:30. Sat there listening to people chat shit on ms Teams whilst necking a Jaipur.
 
We've got loads of tins of those fancy irresistible Christmas biscuits & 6 tubs of haribo that just scream eat me every time I walk into the dining room.
 
The missus is probably going to kill me when my online booze purchases arrive.

I’ve got all sorts of goodies en route.

Meanwhile I’m still managing to avoid drinking 5 days a week.

Is it Friday yet - I’m thirsty?

There are literally a million data sets for each country for all manner of things. You can find twenty thousand spurious correlations if you just sit there trying them one after another. Having said that, the combination of being fat and an albino seems to stand out to me for some reason, I think those could be genuine correlations that spell certain death.
 
Lots of speculation that it's pneumonia, or suspected pneumonia, as any other testing they'd need to do they could have done outside the hospital.
They can do that outside a hospital too. I was diagnosed by a Russian doctor in Kyrgyzstan. Tests can be done in minutes.

Me too, well not the morning beers, but I would almost certainly be drinking every night.
 
I can't get my head around Germany's mortality rate, it's ridiculously low compared to all around them except Austria which is similar.

Germany has a mere 19 deaths per million (Austria 23), and it's not just testing finding more asymptomatics or mild infections or more/better equipment, Switzerland has carried out twice as many tests (per million pop.) yet has a mortality rate of 83.

I reckon it must be the Bratwurst or Leberkäse acting as an insulator.

It must be the purity laws.

I’m still not convinced you didn’t put on a big shiny glove with appropriate bling, snap your fingers and half of us are slowly turning in to dust.

You big purple meanie.
 
Here is a post by an anonymous A&E consultant on an Irish forum I peruse, that gives their opinion on how the situation will unfold in Ireland and how the step down and eventual ending of restrictions might unfold. I suppose the UK will probably follow a similar path. For deaths you can probably multiply by about twenty as that seems to be the current ratio. Its doesn't exactly make for optimistic reading.
It's long but some of you might find it interesting

Hope he kept the receipt



They had warned in the daily briefings that this was the case, and they wouldn't commit to anything until they'd get a working test. They bought samples and provisional orders from multiple different vendors, but on the proviso that they tested them first before they paid for them.
 
If they haven't paid that's cool. Still miles behind on testing though. I haven't got a clue but why are Germany and Korea and America able to do so much testing? I thought pharma was a major strength of ours

The Bosch are in cahoots with Randox, a company based just outside Belfast, and they've been making lots of tests, from what I've heard. I've no idea why they're not testing more people. There are a lot of folk on twatter complaining about it as Randox has received millions from Invest NI and yet no one seems to be getting tested.

It's not all bad:

The main clusters will be in nursing homes, roma gypsies and traveller groupings because of their medical risk factors, proximity and intergenerational living setups.

You'll finally be able to afford that caravan you've always wanted.

The guys were on radio 4 a couple of weeks ago saying they'd been onto the govt but no-one has got back to them
