    Some great local initiatives emerging: restaurants delivering dinners to elderly /immune compromised/ self isolating. Local groups doing grocery shopping and delivering for same groups. Ar aghaidh le cheile.


    It could be what kills em those. A bit like the Cruise Ship isolated people, then feeding them contaminated food/ cutlery

    How many European countries are following the UK model?

    The Eu countries may have to change tack when they release those measures there will be bounce back and cases will surge.

    Check out the conspiracies theory thread about covid they are already. Just make sure that you have enough tinfoil to make a nice hat however.

    As long as it doesn’t impact herd immunity, hopefully they don’t take it. No loss, they are a pox to modern society.

    UK now 798 :eek:

    Given they are going for the 'herd immunity' approach it's surely a good thing to see an increase in numbers.

    Whats he saying and why is there a body in the room?
    He is a well-known actor in Italy. The body is his sister who has died of Covid-19 and at the moment the authorities won't remove the body. He is also in one of the towns that are in lockdown.

    My company are still saying the office is open normal hours and we are expected for now at least to come to work.
    I imagine lots of other companies are the same. Very reluctant to let people stay home.
    Some may not be in a position to support all staff remotely or the job doesn't allow it. Gotta roll with the punches at this stage I'm afraid.

    The testing criteria couldn’t be widened until testing facilities had increased. Getting those facilities up and running takes time. The NVRL was the only place that could do the testing at first and they can only process so much.

    I think from my extensive reading of us political fiction novels is that if Trump died Pence would take over but they would have to start again with the election process

    May be wrong as their system is incredibly complicated

    Thanks for the answer. I know Pence would take over as President but what I'm wondering is who would take over as nominee?

    For the Republicans I assume Pence will be his Vice Presidential pick so would he move up to be the Presidential Nominee also?

    For the Democrats though you could have a situation where Biden gets the nomination, dies and has chosen someone other than Sanders to be his Vice Presidential Nominee. I'm curious what would happen if this Vice-Presidential pick ( say Kamala Harris ) ended up being made the nominee instead of Sanders who would have vastly more delegates pledged.

    Someone must have written a novel about some such scenario sometime, no?

    Just on the UK numbers listen to Dr John's first few minutes, he says the infection rate in your (our) country is 10 to 20 times higher than we are reporting...

    Ah survival of the fittest! The Tory way. We should be limiting the spread of the virus until such time a vaccine and/or treatment is developed.

    Developing a vaccine anything between 6 to 18 months according to most reports, we'll all be sick of being isolated by then never mind sick from CoVid19

    Paddy doesn't do lock-down.

    We are looking at the absolute worst-case now. All the economic destruction of the lock-down - school closures and losses in productivity and revenues - combined with the same rate of infection the UK are going to get.

    We'll end up in the same place as the UK, with a decent herd immunity, but with a devastated economy.

    Still, the social media brigade, braying for a lock-down, will be kept happy so the politicians will view it as a good result.
