Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

Why not use an existing company, but hope Dyson can knock them up. Apart from being a brexiteer who moved his HQ, to the only country in Asia with access to EU single market?

there’s also the training aspect to consider - zero NHS staff have been trained to use this Dyson thing (sorry if this has already been pointed out)

I'm really hoping this guy's modeling turns out to be a closer to reality than many others out there:

I agree with him tbh. Definitely expect us in the UK to be back in the office by mid-April

Odd that Sweden isn’t under lockdown....

I don't think many of those states in the USA (Louisiana, West Virginia, etc.) are on full lockdown. Our entire country should be on lockdown.

A bit optimistic, but obviously I hope he is right. It's very difficult to extrapolate a logistic curve (relative to a straight line).

Watching Newsnight tonight, the government minister, Nadim Zahawi floundering on the issue of ventilators and the number available, doing even worse on the number of coronavirus tests and equipment available for the NHS - making waffling an art form.

'Career politician' potential.

It's going to cost the Government/taxpayer a fortune in spare parts.

Let's face it. An awful lot of the 'news' reports being posted in here originate from dubious and/or biased sources. All these lead to is a whipping up of misinformation and hysteria. Thus we have people willing to throw themselves at the feet of this emerging fascist state and plead for good health and mercy. Its absolutely nuts.

Not too crazy 'round here...no perma lockdown as of yet, although I'm hearing things about some stuff possibly going down this Friday if people don't heed the warnings about staying home. Other half is about to lose her mind, seeing as she works in a hospital...more worried about getting something and then giving it to me than she is getting it herself. Telling her my life insurance policy will set her up for life didn't quite work as intended.

Strange times...any sort of lockdown could be interesting in a fully armed country so I'm hoping, for my fellow civil servants, it doesn't happen.

Feel sorry for the public, though, as there's a lot of mixed messaging. The whole thing's 'kin strange, if you ask me.

Come to New York. I live in an area with a lot of 2nd Amendment types. The lockdown has none of the sort of anarchy you might think ensue.
