14 days isnt long enough from what I am reading. Needs to be at least a week longer.

Only 10 dead and so rugby postponed. Mad.

And how are they going to eradicate the virus?

[minerve 2] 13/3/2020 15:30

There is one VERY BIG issue that our medical/health/scientific advisors haven't addressed and it could cause very serious problems.....

If other countries seek to eradicate the virus - and are successful like China and a few others appear to be - whilst the UK seeks to infect a herd then further down the line we will have a nation still infecting others which could result in UK international travel bans for many years.

Have they thought of that one yet? Probably not.


Minerve is always ahead of the curve.

Our Boris doing the right thing!....





...Verdict?...….BOOOOOM!


Hope you chaps can wait a bit longer for a virus clear day.
Cheers

Broker's TP now around 49p, I was dealing around this share price in March 2009, so much for long term investing!

From a friend
It's just corona crazy around here now, the GP's are now on lock down in the most dramatic way possible, big red tape plastered accros the door with the words do not enter. Pretty much zero cleaning products on the shelves, absolutely no toilet paper left. One women had a tupperware box on her head!! And a the local Chinese got his windows put through last night by some skin head yob no doubt who probably also thinks the earth is flat. What a year so far. But all is not lost, you could be paid upto 4000 English pounds by a London based drugs company if your willing to be infected with corona to help them develop a vaccine

Agreed on the figures

[k38] 13/3/2020 15:16

Eat well, sleep well, do some simple exercise at home, plus the already advice you know...(Don't forget, one fresh onion per week)Avoid travel and if you can work from home next two weeks..maybe three.

Going red nothing can stop the drop

[xxxxxy] 13/3/2020 15:14

The death figures are not meaningless. And about 10 dead from a population of 60 million seems excellent odds for getting over it. So my view this is a good time for investment at Bargain prices of quality stock.

[k38] 13/3/2020 15:10

...349Yes I have but even so, they do expect the numbers to go upUK government: testing will now ONLY focus on identifying people with the virus in hospitals.

[asdb9] 13/3/2020 15:07

Not sure if you caught it in the speech, but future testing will only be carried out on hopitalised cases. So all future figures will be meaningless.

[k38] 13/3/2020 14:56

I do believe 10k to be the true numbers but these numbers are unknown so far...not confirmed.

[asdb9] 13/3/2020 14:47

Could be voluntary

Mark Jackson 13 Mar 2020 11:19AMAll the economic analysis in the world ignores the key point. The EU is a political not economic project, creating an illiberal, undemocratic, bureaucratic empire in which the elites who run it are shielded from the consequences of their actions by their obscene salaries, gold plated pensions, lack of democratic accountability, docile and servile populations, and (coming soon) the EU army. 

[ladeside] 13/3/2020 14:44

I'm not seeing ANY good news out there to justify a market rise.

Things going from horrendous to complete nightmare.

The Economic fallout from this will be felt for decades.

John Eley 13 Mar 2020 1:09PMWhat Lagarde and the ECB seem to be saying to the leaders of the Eurozone countries is to further the political union that UK voters were repeatedly told, between 1975 and 2016, was not even on the menu.  "Collective" fiscal action including sharing of debt leaves very little meaningful independence in the hands of national governments.  There is even less meaningful democracy to control the elite that would have all the extra power that transfer of economic controls implies.

[pierre oreilly] 13/3/2020 14:39

Yes, we're week or two behind wuhan. Once there's clarity that wuhan has it controlled, the market will surge, even though we know uk case will continue to rise for several more days.

The market anticipates.

[asdb9] 13/3/2020 14:38

True estimate from Boris's chums is 5k to 10k

[gotnorolex] 13/3/2020 14:36

"There is almost a case to deliberately infect"..........
Prescribed convid infection to control a pandemic could only be imposed on its younger citizens in an authoritarian state like China. It's a perfunctory obligation in a western democracy like ours not to renounce one group to favour or save another, sobeit a larger one.

[k38] 13/3/2020 14:25

There are 798 cases of Covid-19 in UK up from 590 yesterday...
