There are people who bought 100s of them. Maybe they're hiding in bunkers for months now.Some semblance of normality is returning so.
We've still not opened a pack we bought before this whole thing kicked off and we're a family of three.
How much did people think they were going to use
SARS CoV-2 coronavirus / Covid-19 (No tin foil hat silliness please)

How many times do we need to reemphasise this? No government, and certainly not the UK one, follows and sticks to a single model or paper. Multiple models from all the best sites in the UK are constantly being rerun and analysed. Governments are going to adjust their strategy every time new lessons and fresher, higher quality data is available. No shit that that will likely save lives. No government in the world, especially those who handle this most successfully, will have done so by selecting a plan early on and then tunnel-visioning into it and not adjusting as necessary.
Nobody, and I mean absolutely nobody, knows all the correct assumptions and input data the models need to get the best solutions. The more confident someone is, the less you should trust them. The authors of the Imperial paper themselves were absolutely clear on that. They too will do future research and, some of which will counteract some of their earlier recommendations. I only hope our government continues to factor that into their thinking. They won't be a u-turn either.

I suspect it's the lesser evil of not having beds to take care of positives people.
It's one thing to test them, but if you have no avenue to treat them upon knowing they're positives there could be social unrest.
If they have 100.000 test kit, they better have 20.000 beds at least, and another 5000 extra NHS staff.
I hope so mate. we are running low on nappies and baby formula
And as has been explained to you before
They KNEW it was wrong before they did it.
Here is the Editor of The Lancet explaining this. Again.

Anyone here give blood? I’m due to on Wednesday and as far as I know it’s going ahead. Surely as it’s organised by the NHS it’ll be as risk free as possible. I’m pretty relaxed at the minute but I just want to make sure I’m not doing more harm than good. I’ll ring beforehand but just curious if anyone has done it recently?
Anyone feeling a bit down over this should check out this inspiring video of these regular cool young people singing this totally iconic and never annoying song. Everything’s gonna be ok people!

It must be hard when no one's paying attention to you anymore.
And the 25-65
Fresh pasta is what I am saying is home made pasta that we all will be learning how to make!
Why turn it into a political thing? I’m sure there a voters of all parties bulk buying. They’re mostly likely scared and stupid.
I'd have sexual intercorse with gal gadot
very trueCelebrities, you've got to love them.
As I thought, the quarantine period is going to be extended here in Italy, and restrictions may be tightened.

Just lost a mate over this. He was in New York from Friday until yesterday, went to all the pubs he could and managed to get home late last night. Today, Snapchat of him in aldi.
what a fecking moron, and this someone I’ve gone on lads holidays with.

Same as people from all age groups. Ageism is rife on this thread. When all the over 65’s are all dead who will take the blame?
Shops here are packed full every morning, hardly anyone uses free trolley, no social distancing, just masses of people of all ages after yet another bogroll or anything they need several of in case it runs out.
Cant wait for the schools to close then there will be masses of board kids roaming the streets.
they say you are who your friends are.

When idiots organise a flash revolution.
Edit.. looks like this is a few days old before the French lockdown. They're still morons though.

The problem Italy has got is that flattening the curve, once you have already gone way past the point that healthcare systems can cope,
is simply not enough. You’re still drowning that point. I think a lot of countries will find that at some point. I do not know have far you can go with restrictions and for how long.
Nigeria now has 12 cases. 10 of them in Lagos. Think we on the verge of a catastrophe.
The country had only one case, this time last week. It had over a month to shut its borders.

Premier League suspension extended until the 30th of April
they say you are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with. He never was in that circle, but still... how can you be so idiotic
France could be another place to go nuts pretty quickly. They riot so readily over there.
Expected something more grandiose from the man who said there are no gay people in Iran.
Thanks for sharing.
I'm somewhat terrified of what I'll find if they do call me to the hospital.
Found the culprits behind the corona virus and yes it's a certain three letter organisation
No science is right but some science is clearly wrong. You need to have a long hard think about why our government chose the riskiest possible advice rather than listening to the scientists who have successfully tackled it in China and South Korea. The answer, as always, is bias. They liked the results so they assumed it was correct even though the assumptions were flawed at a basic level as the majority of scientists pointed out.
It's honestly really starting to grind on me, with everything going on in the country, that our employers are STILL requiring us to come in when we can completely work from home. Why are so many unnecessary risks being taken for zero value added...
Probably the need to micromanage you because I can't imagine there much financial benefit in doing so.
The UK is not China and it's not South Korea. To blindly listen to others would be a huge mistake. There is no other country with the same makeup of health services, population and cultures. And no scientist or expert you have seen in the media knows what they all are unless they are employed by the government and given access to that information, and even then some things are just an unknown. Good modelling relies on proper inputs and a constant adaptation of those inputs in response to new information. That seems to be exactly what the UK has done.
You'd be talking months to go through a trolley full, surely?
Yes, I'm in Lima but I haven't got my resident visa yet and I suspect things like that will a lot longer than usual.
I am happy to hunker down here for now. But maybe not a few months down the line if things turn ugly.
My bro in law is a very senior doctor in the NHS. He says the government has no clue or is spinning this. They are told to treat it as pneumonia but this is not pneumonia.
He says it's going to be disastrous for the UK. All should listen to what China eventually did to control it.

Does this mean he would have had it a couple of weeks without showing any symptoms or feeling ill? And now they’ve found out he’s got it. So how long do you have this before you even show any illness?
