Other news.... lol.They blame the Russians for Trump win.Now they blame Russians (once again) involvement in support for.. Sanders, an anathema democratic candidate, to win the election. Will the democratic-virus effect the coming elections? We shall see but the real enemy to the American people are the Democrats.Real enemy to UK people are the labour party.

x5 - if in your group someone has announced that they are leaving do you include them and treat them as though they are new joiners? Do you have fairies in the bottom of your garden?

Your naivety reaches news highs by the day.

Not only . . . but also:-

India limits the export of certain medicines, prompting fears of global shortages of common drugs.

The real effects of Brexit have happened yet because I don't know if you realise that we are currently in the WA which really is EU life.

[maxk] 04/3/2020 12:41

You havent blamed brexit today Min.

[minerve 2] 04/3/2020 12:41

I agree LADESIDE.

This Tory government will be just glad to see it happen. There are some really evil people who see other humans as assets/disposable assets and nothing more.

Niocolia Sturgeon also happy it takes her out of the corner she backed herself into re indy 2020.

[ladeside] 04/3/2020 12:29

I'd be surprised / shocked if it wasn't being discussed in the corridors of power how this could be a godsend to deal with the serious pension issues and social care problems.

It may sound rather cynical, however that's how it works I'm afraid........

The aim of authorities is obvious.

Prevent Panic.

For panic will see the shop shelves clear far far faster and highlight the supply chain crisis in prospect.

so delay the inevitable by being economical with the truth.

Governing 101.

London dead yesterday, none but essential traffic, no need to impersonate an A list celeb to book a table anywhere! It is quite possible that the Mayor will wave congestion charges to keep London from becoming a ghost town, should there be even a mere suggestion of a Covid breakout!

[maxk] 04/3/2020 11:53

Above all....dont tell the plebs the truth!

Ladeside - on the SHA thread I posted a while back my experiences when we started work on the AIDS virus. At that time no one had ever heard of it and I had all the global numbers of infected people etc and how they grew over time. Just think how long it took to understand all the consequences of that virus in blood stocks etc. I don't know whether coronavirus will have similar consequences.

Being cynical for one post - rule No 1 - when in trouble start a war to take the focus away from the underlying problem. Second choice is to pump a subject to achieve Rule No 1 when a war is not possible.
Better than blaming the leaves when the bad numbers come out.

[alphorn] 04/3/2020 11:37

Ladeside - the virus has become a self fulfilling prophecy. The economic impact is certain IMO. It will take a little time to judge whether the media has exacerbated this impact. (I am not down playing the health issue).

I suspect that China has already decided to live with the bug, especially if it primarily takes out the infirm and elderly, ie persons who are a burden on an economy. Following the price of copper gives an indication of industrial activity.

I think the last two will be short-lived, the top four however could go on for ages.
