Brexit, for once some facts.
- Thread starter flecc
- Start date
hand washing helps, at least psychologically.
Also singing the national anthem or Jerusalem at the same time helps boosting your sense of invincibility.
Good psychology: as long as you keep at least 1m from the next nearest singer. Maybe with extra breath exhalation you need a little extra distance for singing?
there were some stats from WHO, 128k confirmed cases, 5k deaths, 68k recovered, leaving 55,000 people in intensive care? we never are going to have that many beds in ICUs.

Yes UK and Ireland remain exempt. However I have two difficulties with this.
Granted the incidence is less here than mainland Europe, but whether Golf resorts factor in is problematic.
There is nothing to stop French people travelling to London and on to SF on a 9 hour flight. There is some evidence that people without appearing ill can be infectious for a number of days prior to symptoms
That applies to me but I'm still not bothered. I've just got back from my usual very large supermarket which as ever was packed with people. Since it serves a very wealthy area to the south and a well-to-do middle class area to the north, the clientele during weekdays are predominately elderly and often very elderly and frail and today was no different.
Still not a single face mask seen anywhere, despite driving through two other packed shopping areas on the way there and also calling at another busy supermarket for something not in stock at the first.
Overall it seems people in my area aren't bothered by the possibility of catching coronavirus, only by the risk of shortages as empty shelves showed. A long length of toilet roll shelving was empty at the large supermarket and there was also a big gap on the kitchen roll shelf.
With that and many speaking of using newspaper, Dynorod should do well from the epidemic.

The coronavirus gets better and better!
First the prospect that a pandemic could help with reducing the world overpopulation problem.
Second that it's mainly the excess of non-productive elderly who are culled.
Now the prospect that it might also reduce the birth rate to keep down the reduced population.
Maybe with these we'll all be able to stop worrying about global warming, climate change and Earth's resources running out.
The gift that just keeps giving!

An anti Brexit plot!"
Next lunatic conspiracy theorist please!

Shop online. Get the goods dropped at the front door and wipe the individual packages with anti-bacteria solution before bringing them into the house.
vfr400 will be along shortly, he has an infinite number of them.Next lunatic conspiracy theorist please!
Just two related threads.
Ireland has just gone into quasi lockdown ..all schools etc closed. From now until the date of the original Brexit date ..29th March.
During the long Brexit "will it won't it," of last year , the supply chains were building up reserves of materials ,so the warehouses are full. I suspect the same is true in the UK
