You would have to think that they will seriously be considering a universal income even temporarily (which could lead to social change and permanency once we get through this). This is going to utterly change the country hopefully in a positive way. We have all woken up to what is really important and what isn't.
She was close enough.
You have to remember she's not a world class doctor, she's a world class psychic.
When you've spent years purposefully putting on such an act I'm sure it's hard to shift to a more serious tone.
Yup, it was mentioned in PM's today and wasn't dismissed, so we'll see.
Peru.
Stricter quarantine measures and enforced curfew from 5pm to 8am.

No, she wasn’t.
Danke schon
I've been working at home since Friday, so I've literally not left my flat for 5 days.
Anyway, the second I read your post I went out to withdraw some cash and do a final couple of supermarket runs, because it's only a matter of time before it's extended to here. I reckon I should be good for about 6 weeks or so.
Manchester City Centre is about 10% as busy as it normally would be. And the Aldi and Lidl off Piccadilly Gardens have been stripped almost bare.
It really does feel like the end times.
I don't think that's true at all, Sturgeon has form for announcing cohesive policy before the PM to make it look like she's leading to the Scottish people, the other leaders are probably doing the same. If Sturgeon announces something around lunch time bet on that being the line from Westminster at 17.00hrs.
She knew you were going to say that. That's how good she is.
You've been a voice of reason in this thread, you can't believe this shit, surely?
Banks are closing too so this is a good idea. I was out today (dentist appoint) and saw Nationwide closed, fast food places closed + queue for boots (presuambly to buy medicine).

That's not groundbreaking news. It's one of the drugs that's being used.

Avigan is favipiravir.
Edit: Its efficacy's already largely known. Afraid it's not like a huge breakthrough. :/

Oh, yeah, I agree.
I also withdrew some cash.
It was eerie. I normally feel safe during the daytime in the city centre because of all the crowds. But today, I felt really exposed carrying all that cash around.
Am I really coming across as serious? I thought it was obvious I was being sarcastic.

Yep, did say a couple of days ago London is the big problem for the government. The civil service is effectively going to be run outside Whitehall and at home.

It's not positive but it depends how you want to look at it. The first towns in Lombardy have few knew cases so they ahead in the curve. Lombardy is hopefully at the peak but it's not definite, the last few days have seen an increase of 1500 new cases per day. The rest of Italy is further behind so their numbers should increase each day.
The number of deaths is a worrying trend though and hopefully it falls soon.
She didn’t even get the age she’d die at right.
It's better than it was, that's all i will say.
Lombardy was the first area to get hit hard and has been averaging around 1500 new cases per day for over a week now. The exponential growth has stopped whereas it is still growing in other regions.
It all points to it taking a lot longer than a single incubation period for the trends to change. The governor of the Venetia region said today models predict the peak will not come until 15 April.
See I don't find this reassusuring. Are there many people above 50 who haven't had any previous medical problems? 40 even?
But she knew the difference between a hotdog and a sandwich.
Moderna Inc started the vaccine testing in humans this week. The first 8 people already got the first shot of the vaccine, with the second shot expected to happen in 28 days. On the initial stage of testing, there will be 45 people who will get the vaccine. The vaccine testing is happening in Seattle, in collaboration with Kaiser Permanente.
This is the first time that animal testing is skipped (though it will likely happen in parallel).
The forecast for the vaccine is still expected to be between 12 to 18 months, though it needs to be said that so far it is going faster than planned (only a couple of weeks ago, it was expected that the vaccine would take a few months to be developed, and the testing to start in the summer). From the moment the RNA sequence of the virus became available, it took Moderna 60 days to administer the first dose of the vaccine in a human (absolute record).
There are some other companies (located in Israel, Canada, Germany, US, China) who have already developed a candidate-vaccine or are close to doing so, which gives hope that even if Moderna's vaccine fails, there will be other vaccines coming soon.

So NHS staff, police, other emergency services and those involved in food supply. That's what he mentioned.
Key workers are already going to be at a higher risk of developing this anyway given the work they have to do.
I don't think it's a bad idea as it buys more time.
I presume this included dentists as well?
The world class bit tipped me.Am I really coming across as serious? I thought it was obvious I was being sarcastic.

I don't know. Doubtful though. Most dental work is private now in the UK so I assume only essential work will be done.
Because of Italian culture... Grandma gives every member of the family a million kisses each day...
Merkel: "Biggest challenge (for our country) since WW2."
I'm also curious about how they define "previous medical condition". I got pneumonia almost 9 years ago(I was working with kids and there was a small epidemic). I wasn't hospitalized, but if I had been then would that have counted?
Increases to be expected but my understanding is that the rate of increase is slowing down, right?
Did they say how they will compensate parents now schools are closed? Are they entitled to ssp even though they arent sick
As long as they remain open. I may need root canal and seeing an endo in a few weeks ..:/
That wasnt a challenge, but an attack
Some doctors have become infected and some in ICU. Makeshift wards where possible.
If you read the article further down, the growth is contained in the central/south of Italy - the biggest problem is in the north, as it has been all along.
Who can forget the flesh eating mites disease from 2010 eh? Walofs....
From a book written by Sylvia Browne in 2008.
She also said a sitting president in the US would die from a heart attack.
I didn't post the link as most don't have subscription, but it's leading the site.
Yeah the shelves near me in Brook Green/Hammersmith look apocalyptic in certain sections.
Holland Park was pleasantly quiet this arvo and looked beautiful though.
You need to download the Plague Inc. app.
What about the strides in mental health?
