It's absolutely bewildering to me that governments worldwide did not follow my advice of stopping all inbound travel from China before the virus had the opportunity to spread worldwide. So unfortunately, I'm not in the least bit surprised by this incompetence.

Hpw did you communicate this advice to them?

You have more faith in your fellow man than I do.

In fairness I did say "hope"

As someone who lives in shared housing, gets the underground to work and works on a big building site I’m almost certain I will get it at some point.

My company have said they will close the site when there’s not enough people to safely open the site.

Cash is king, eh.

I was already having thoughts about leaving this expensive dump. They’ve only increased now.

Come home bae xx

What a horrible twit Branson is.

People always hold him in such high esteem. He's a horrible man. Sure he's probably quite friendly.

I'm totally with you on that one. Ridiculous not to have acted sooner, in fact stop air travel. It is the prime cause of the spread of the disease.

I wrote on this forum. I presumed the message would have gotten through to them.

It does also go on to say this in that article.

"The NRC reports that half the patients in the ICU may be under 50 because the number of people in that demographic is just relatively bigger than in other countries. It could also be that these numbers are completely representative because there just aren’t that many coronavirus patients in the ICU."

Under 50 could also be 45 to 49 year olds and or people who smoke lots of weed/cigarettes and have an unhealthy lifestyle. Diets consisting of water pipes and mayo with chips

Aren't the 'at risk' group those over 70 AND those with pre-existing medical conditions? I don't regard my 19yr old niece with a pacemaker as any less at risk than my 70 year old parents.

No tennis for 6 weeks as announced by ATP, but it will be extended I reckon, no Roland Garros and Wimbledon this season ( terrible days.

I gave up watching men's tennis when Nastase packed it in, and women's when Chris Evert was bullied out by the muscular ones.
