Coronavirus - will we survive?

What are people doing with this bog roll as diarrhea isn't a symptom? Are they eating it?

The world has gone mad.

I saw a fella in Bolton centre this afternoon wearing some mouth mask that looked more sophisticated than Darth Vader's.

Forget Coronavirus, the world is fucking nuts, that's what people should be worrying about.

I just said that.

I'm joining the Home Guard.

Why is it whenever I post for the first time in a while you just have to get your rod out?

Embarrassing that your first post in a while is an exact copy of mine.

You always did try to hang on to my coattails.

Another death in the UK today along with more cases today with the total so far being 273.

Italy has a huge problem with this now and are we sleepwalking into the same situation?

Is it now time that the UK took some strong action and stopped public gatherings, closing schools etc??

Diarrhoea may not be a symptom but folk have been buying in bog roll like there's no tomorrow - advance planning for when we actually leave the EU or cleaning up after the plague of flying shitter cats? Needs investigation.

Can't wait for TenBob to crowbar Dale Vince into this.

Let's apply the Natasha test.....

Only 23k people tested out of 70 million? Of which 273 have tested positive.

If the sample is representative of the population, then 770,000 Brits have it already.

If we take the lowest estimated mortality rate of 1%, then 7,700 of the Brits already infected will die from it.

If we then factor in the airborne transmission capabilities of Covid 19 compared to flu, then we'll just about all have it within the next few months, starting with anyone living in a high rise building.

Bin busy Boncey, but found a nice bit of Cumberland sausage for the tax-doidging charlatan. How about a caption competition?


Marshy's in the lead so far:

There was a young lady from Tonga,
Who had an affair with a Conger
When the butcher from Deal, said "how did it feel?"
She said "just like yours but much longer!"

This amused me.
No mention of bog rolls and, not wishing to miss an opportunity, an antibacterial handwash company bought an ad at the bottom of the article - as if they aren't selling enough ATM.

This would suit Harry and Megan considering they are looking for a job!

BOB!

5 deaths now confirmed in the UK along with another 48 confirmed cases today.

Absolutely fucking ludicrous that we are still allowing flights to and from Italy.

This is getting rather ridiculous now...

Won't be long until someone takes a forklift truck to it

Italy in lockdown

All the funnier when Boris was floundering around today avoiding all questions about what we are going to do about it e.g. checking flights from Italy. Do nothing and carry on was his patriotic answer - aka "Don't (make the voters) Panic Mr Mannering".
Apparently the Chief Medical Officer and the Chief Scientist concur.
