Goldman Sachs has been stirring it up this morning, so I guess they are short on the FTSE100.

clond, I watched the Chief Medical Officer before the Parliamentary Health Select Committee this morning.

He did say that greater emphasis was now being given to attempting to delay the "peak" spread as containment was no longer realistic.

I have the impression that the UK view is that the social and economic consequences of introducing widespread restrictions at this stage would cause more harm than simply allowing the virus run its course.

Ideally it would be preferred if that occurred after the annual winter flu season has run its course, so that the NHS would be more able to cope.

However, his mortality predictions for those over the age of 80, and those in poor health, who become infected, were disturbing.

What it's REALLY like to catch coronavirus: First British victim, 25, describes how 'worst disease he ever had' left him sweating, shivering, and struggling to breathe as his eyes burned and bones ached


•Connor Reed, 25, an expat teacher from North Wales, lives and works in Wuhan

•In November, he became the first British man to catch the deadly coronavirus

•Here he explains how he beat the illness that is sweeping across the globe

Connor Reed, a 25-year-old expat from Llandudno in North Wales, has worked in a

school in Wuhan, China, for almost a year. In November he became the first British

man to catch the coronavirus. From coughs and aches to burning up and spending the

night in hospital, here’s how he beat the illness that is sweeping the globe.

Day 1 — Monday November 25: I have a cold. I’m sneezing and my eyes are a bit

bleary. It isn’t bad enough to keep me off work. I arrived in this country to

teach English as a foreign language — but now I’m a manager at a school in Wuhan,

the city in central China where I have lived for the past seven months.



Day 7: I spoke too soon. I feel dreadful. This is no longer just a cold. I ache all over, my head is thumping, my eyes are burning, my throat is constricted. The cold has travelled down to my chest and I have a hacking cough.

Yesterday it was Tesco shopping bag man and today the Daily Telegraph has flushed out plastic box woman ...

Said it before, this Govt. is useless, anyone going to a hotspot like Italy should be warned on return it is straight into quarantine for two weeks, no messing, all the cases pretty much stem from that country, no need to be travelling there, people are inconsiderate self-centred fools.

[smartypants] 04/3/2020 16:30

Is that "20%" in 2 weeks?
