Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

this is a man made virus not mother nature

There is no evidence anywhere to suggest its man made

I'm more worried about the 'leccy bill. Our ad revenue this month so far is 45.6% down, forecast to be around 70% down at the end of the month.

No football matches = WE'RE DOOMED.

I've been saying this for a while

Coronavirus is much much more than a health crisis. Every decision made to counter this has a consequence and by the time the health crisis is over the world will look very different.

GOT and Everton are a big part of our lives for the regular posters on here. I honestly believe millions in the UK will no longer even have a footie team if this goes on too long.

Bail out airlines ? Not for me thanks, I could think of a few more useful ways public money could be invested in right now.

There is no conclusive evidence that herd immunity approach would be effective ,however, it did not stop people here declaring it was the way forward over the weekend. Each to their own beliefs.

Wipe and fold, wipe and fold.

When being extravagant and using 2 sheets, turn one 90degrees to the other as toilet paper rips very easily one way but not the other.
Rotating one sheet gives you a stronger 'laminated' effect thus cutting down brown finger syndrome.

There are enough noise within mainland China to suggest it is.

From Reddit:

Interesting to see how the Danes are dealing with this.
If companies are facing layoffs of more than 30% of the workforce the Government will cover 75% of the salary, the company the remaining 25% for those employees that would be laid off.
Cover the cost of salaries or face lost tax income and increase in benefit outgoings.

Show me this noise pls. The claim of it being man made has been debunked to death over the past couple of weeks.

Literally no one with any credibility on the subject believes it’s man made.

First client to 'pause' work this morning. Hopefully it's not the start of a trend.

What line of business are you in Bruce?

The Scandanavian countries will probably be all right in that respect. The governments will look after them I'm sure.

That being said, Denmark's population is 5 million

Just raise the forum supporter tax. If your add revenue drops below 20% I’ll sign up.

It's all fairly relative though, isn't it ?
