Are you worried yet.

Yikes, from USA. Their politicians (well Trump for sure) are in denial. This virus is going to be really bad for them. ****, they can't even get a test kit to work yet! They had some but they were faulty!!

if the virus tracks with Italy's figures
and 10% of patients require an ICU
and the 65% of beds already occupied are not released
and no new capacity is created

Stop looking at click-bait 'news' websites like zerohedge!

Was informed last night by a Morrisons checkout operator that his mother had been told by someone who was reliably informed that if you contract the virus and you then scratch your hand or leg that it will become infected and the only option is amputation.
Just as well that I had bought 2 rolls of toilet paper amongst my yogurt and broccoli because I needed some as I wet myself laughing.

If you think Trumps not up to the job....this proves we’re in for another 4 years of him! Watch the videos, is he fit to run as best candidate for the opposition?

I just checked with my Uber driver what you said and he told me your Morrisons guy is wrong.

Just checked in on my pension pot.
Down £1500; in a week....
And the options are to move it from equities to err equities as far as I can make out...

£1500 down in a week isnt a worry unless it's a small pension pot.

My daughter had just text me to say Tesco are restricting amount of items you can purchase now. Not sure on validity.

It’s seller’s on E bay and other such sites that we should be clamping down on. Don’t say if people are daft enough to pay the price it’s their own fault, it’s not. Seller's should not be permitted to bulk buy certain items and then sell at ten times the price, not in this instance anyway. Just remember who they are for future reference.

 

[Scaf]

The only way to stop panic buying in bulk is to put the price up - the more you buy the higher the price per item you pay -
German government have taken direct control of the supply of sanitising hand washing gel - unbelievable.
I am not worried about running out of toilet paper if all else fails .........

Just buy some bottles of absolute vodka...does the same job as sanitising gel.

There is no way health services anywhere will keep up with this.
Italy

Italy has a 5% death rate!
25% of the population now isolated.

Does that mean I am limited to 1 bottle of gin and ginsters pasty? My life is over!

Im sure it’s a translation but “donning and doffing procedures”?

Has there been any explanation for the large number of cases in Italy?

It has one of the oldest populations in the world....hence the deaths. Not sure why the spread is so rapid. Lots of Chinese tourists initially?- its a beautiful country to visit.

Seems not unreasonable. There are processes (for example) for taking gloves off so that you don't get contaminated.
