Hey Min, are you still being bothered by those millionaire NHS workers with nothing better to do with their time than drive up and down your lane in their Maybach S650's etc. Who are you kidding?

CTR: death statistics from the coronavirus perhaps need careful interpretation. We're told that many are in the 'old or infirm' category but for all we know some of them may have only had days to live anyway yet not clear if this has been factored in.

LLOY still 58p.....yawn lol.

[minerve 2] 30/1/2020 11:14

Yes, I am sure there are millions of gammons willing to listen to Farage. The '70s dressed clown is their idol. LOL

"stiff upper lip and all that"

Stuff upper lip gets you nowhere on its own, you need other qualities, which you happen to not have! LOL Just makes you look stupid. Which we know you are anyway. ;)

Farage is treading water, waiting for Trump to escape removal from office trail! He'll be the warm-up man for him on the hustings once more, one way or another he is destined to become a multimillionaire in US on the lecture circuit or a talk show host, even bigger than Blair who made Time mags cover but not "Persons of the Year" like Putin or Farage.

"Which isn't suprising as it's what Communist countries do. See Chernobyl."

He forgets episodes like the Three Mile Island accident and the Bhopal disaster. ;)

It'll put Brexiters to the test. LOL

No problem for us Minerve...stiff upper lip and all that. Would worry for the remainers though who see doom and gloom round every corner. Mental strength important in overcoming adversity...watch Bear Grylls or Ant Middleton on SAS lol.

LLOY testing 58p this morning...hmm.

Most viral infections are self limiting. The body’s immune response does the curative work in the majority of cases. It isn’t the virus per se which causes mortality.

Latest Coronavirus update.....

Some interesting snippets...

1) Death rises but still very small.
2) Some patients have allegedly been "cured!"
(With what one wonders)

3) China is lying about the numbers.
Which isn't suprising as it's what Communist countries do. See Chernobyl.
No one wants to take the blame so they lie about the urgency.



"Reporters claim to have proof China lying about virus"

Total cases near 8,000 - another 12,000 suspected


Summary:

Death toll climbs to 170 from 132, with 7,711 cases confirmed in China and 7,814 worldwide, while the number of suspected cases has soared by 2,928 to 12,167 from 9,239 yesterday

Reporter claims local media has evidence Beijing lying about death toll

British Airways cancels flights to China
Trump says he spoke with Xi over the phone
Angry mobs spotted in Sichuan
CDC sending representatives to China
3 Japanese aboard evac flight test positive for coronavirus

China now admits to 7,771 cases across the country, Adding nearly 1,800 from 5,974 yesterday. The death toll has climbed to 170, and 170 patients have been cured. Some 31 cases were labeled "severe" and nearly 82,000 are under observation. What is perhaps most shocking is that the number of suspected cases soared by nearly 3,000 overnight from 9,239 to 12,167

In a disturbing development, three of the Japanese citizens rescued from Wuhan aboard Japan's evac flight Wednesday have tested positive for cornavirus - so now the Japanese government is essentially importing the virus on the evacuation flight. We hope all those on the flight will be quarantined for a while given the virus's reputation of spreading asymptomatically.

Here's a breakdown of all the revisions...

Confirmed cases +29% (from 5974 to 7711)
Suspected cases +32% (from: 9239 to 12167)
Severe cases +10% (from 1239 to 1370)
Death toll +29% (from 132 to 170

Several epidemiologists have suggested that many of the deaths caused by the coronavirus that surfaced in Wuhan last month have probably 'slipped through the cracks' - either having been misdiagnosed or deliberately attributed to something else. Many suspect that Beijing is concealing the true extent of the outbreak. And now, one reporter claims that a Chinese media organization has found proof.

The East Asia Correspondent for DW cited reports in a tweet claiming that health officials have been secretly moving some bodies directly from the hospital to the crematorium.

mitchy : A post Brexit ..'Bon chance mon ami'! Looks like market is anticipating rates on hold.

[minerve 2] 30/1/2020 10:58

BT.A doing well this morning Pierre!

LOL

Should have listened to THE POLY GUY!

[minerve 2] 30/1/2020 10:57

Poikka

You think our government is better organised and doesn't waste money?

Come on!

Stop being a pathetic numpty!

[poikka] 30/1/2020 10:54

I don't think that we have anything to fear from being out of the EU: I mean they can't even stop the mad monthly trip by MEPs, on special trains, to Strasbourg so that they can vote.

Their ever-changing fishery policy has led to mass loss of fishing stocks.

They can't decide on a refugee policy, and so on.

Oh why bother, they're toast, and it could have been a really useful organisation, as NF said. Maybe something good might emerge from the ashes one day.

[minerve 2] 30/1/2020 10:53

Let us hope the virus gets over here.

It'll put Brexiters to the test. LOL

We can also test the NHS, see if it is as good as the Tory luvvies think it is. LOL

Reap the Whirlwind suckers!

Farage doesn't need to have 'visible' work. He is in the pockets of his masters Trump, Banks et al.

Little pocket liar and charlatan he is pretending to be the working man's friend.

I'm in nobody's pockets. I can't be bought.

[cheshire pete] 30/1/2020 10:36

bb: suspect Farage will be quite happy 'getting his life back' and being out of the limelight. As for not having a job lol, anyone who's been an MEP as long as he has will have done very nicely thank you. Ask the Kinnocks, they were on the EU gravy train for yonks.

[cheshire pete] 30/1/2020 10:28

BBJ: Will you be hoping for success or hoping for failure lol?

From the day after tomorrow, just who are those moaning fellow Brits going to blame for the endemic ills in our European Area. The signs for the UK's regression to a lightweight, race to the bottom Economy are emerging before the first door shuts.
