Scientific advice confirms that the initial "let them all die" measure was largely a political decision from the Tories.

Scum.

Is that a leather gilet?

Leather waistcoat is 'de rigeur' for onstage playing!

'Er indoors put half of the badges on. Second row shows an Everton badge, Popeye, and a Norfolk Zipper Club badge (Norfolk Zipper Club is for those who have had heart surgery - the club has raised over £1 million for equipment for Papworth Hospital in the last 25 years - hence my membership, with a triple bypass there, and why I'm ultra careful at present).

Love those red Marshall amps!

It's an original Marshall 1959 Plexi 100w head, into 1960 and 1960B 4x12 cabs.

The problem i have with the immunity herd thing mate, is to achieve 60% of immunity in the UK, the UK will have to go through worse then what we are seeing in Italy at the moment. The death toll there is at is close to 4k with 41k cases.

39 million will have to get the virus for 60% herd immunity - if it turns out to be true you cant get it again which isn't conclusive.

The following is the the death rate per 1000 confirmed cases in the world per country

Italy: 82.98
Iran: 69.76
Spain: 46.16
UK: 44.05
China 40.1
Netherlands: 30.89
France 28.9
USA 15.06
Belgium:11.07
S.Korea:10.62
Sweden: 7.64
Denmark: 5.21

So if you apply the UK's mortality rate into of 44.05 per 1000 cases into 39 million, its scary and that is as of today, without applying the principal of exponential growth.

Its a simple decision self isolate or loose that number of people. Life will be hard, but we will be around to moan about it.

Confirmed cases is not something that should be used to present these and I use the term lightly "facts". The most important number and a number that we may never know is unconfirmed cases from those with no symptoms, on the diamond princess over half of confirmed cases were people who had no symptoms and never developed symptoms.
They shouldn't be using confirmed cases to present mortality rate as its bordering on scaremongering because it gives a higher number by at least a factor of 2, probably more.

You'd be wrong though. I believe it is classed as a large hospital, just. So strictly it is a major one. I think

Mhm. I also don't like how vague "One senior director in the capital just told me" is.. lol

think you’ve managed to focus on the least important bit of that.

If the government are forced to consider a UBI what do you think it should be for the average adult?
