Is there some logic to this ?

If I were a sliced ham manufacturer I'd employ women in their late 30s/early 40s to hang outside school gates pretending to pick up their kids and get them to strike up conversations with mothers wearing sunglasses on their heads (you know the type). "God this coronavirus is awful, I must drop by Supervalu on the way home and pick up some SLICED HAM before it's all gone."

Guaranteed the shelves would be cleared nationwide

No one starved in Wuhan because of this as far as I know.
I'd say most Irish people would be better off if they were 5 - 10 kg lighter.

Except for all those people who starved to death. For example https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jan/30/disabled-teenager-in-china-dies-at-home-alone-after-relatives-quarantined

No need for all that effort just but a false story on Facebook and watch the gob****es share away and all will be swearing blind it’s true.

Italy's name is going to be dragged through the mud with Covid 19. As a nation, they are single handedly exporting the virus to countries all over the globe.

Tourism in Northern Italy must be massive..

fr336 · 05-03-2020 05:01PM

The 5pm Italy update gets me real nervous

Panrich · 05-03-2020 05:01PM

115 cases in UK now. Not too bad.

It's worse than the German occupation map at it's peak of conquest in 1942 by a longshot!

Singapore have done very well to curb their initial outbreak - and in such a dense place too.
I wonder what their new infection rate per day is like?

If you divide these numbers by population then 1 in 8500 people in South Korea have it and 1 in 17000 in China have it. I find China's numbers hard to be credible based on those numbers.

Not as dramatic an increase in The UK as I would've expected.

WHO general sounds angry talking in a firm tone.

Northern Italian airports are a cheap point of access to Italian, French, Swiss and Austrian Alps aswell as the general tourist attractions of Italy itself.

Massive throughput of tourists.

With the toilet rolls yes.....you will be using the toilet a fair bit if you get coronavirus by the sounds of it...

China is more like about 1 in 160 as most cases took place in Wuhan.

It actually is a really useful service. My uncle's funeral was in a church where they stream the church services and it was great for people who couldn't make it to the funeral whether because they were too sick or were on the other side of the planet.

Naggdefy · 05-03-2020 05:06PM

Yesterday the UK jumped from 52 to 85 (33). Today 85 to 115 (30). Less than yesterday, hope that's a good sign.

Most countries seem to report early in the day but we tend to find out around 8.30pm..wonder is there a reason for this. We'll be more relaxed at the end of the day?!

Phil.x · 05-03-2020 05:06PM

What's the odds, that from everday now at 7pm or 8pm the hse release a statement with new cases and ireland quickly becomes an epicentre for the virus in western Europe. The HSE CEO looks very worried.

Air traffic picking up a little in China but still in the valley.

Looks like it's almost time to head west to the Aran Islands until all this blows over. They may have had a rough time of it recently with the storms, but they could have the last laugh yet!

Might not be much fun, places closed, empty or near empty.
You're gonna have to wait a year for a vaccine.
