No.

Yes, 100% of dead still testing positive. Hubei study, AFAIR.

Went for Aldi shop tonight , No social distancing in shop at all , too many people too , and shelves empty again .

Yet across road in Lidl they restrict numbers entering shop . Small queue to enter . Should have gone there. All shops need to implement better measures for customer protection

I was in two different Dunnes in my locality today and there were huge restrictions such as latex gloves for customers, markings on the floor, everyone 2m apart, only one customer allowed near the checkout at a time (and people were following them all without complaint).

RedFM spreading the news that 62 of the 191 were from cork when it was 62 of the 350. Messaged them so hoping they fix the mis-information

What do you mean?

Wow complete lockdown in Argentina until April. No free movement on Streets. Prison sentence for anyone who violates terms. Argentina has recorded at least 20 cases of community transmission.
In these past few weeks it is astonishing how many first time in living history type events have occurred all over the world

Yes but not all shops have contactless.

I noticed from videos that people in China were using the tip of a ballpoint pen to touch lift buttons etc.

Could also be used for punching in pin numbers.

But, how effectively transmissible is that? Do you mean for medical staff?

I mean, it's OK to have someone in a coffin.
Sorry, I missed the context of the question.

If any film I ever went to see had a plot like we are living now I would of said too far fetched.

Serious question: How do you leave the house in the morning?

Serious answer, I haven't for a while now. Why, do you have the cure for this fatal virus?

I know it’s the apocalypse and all but why did you put an apostrophe for cinemas and not the other two? Genuinely curious?!

The virus stays suspended in the air

According to this NY Times article you still have to be physically close to an infected person to be infected by the aerosol method even if it hangs around for 30 minutes as the concentration drops to extremely low levels. You would have insane rates of infection otherwise IMO.

Not peer reviewed, another scientist actually criticises the lab conditions they used, in that very same article.

The problem is that a lot of young people carry the virus and don't even know about it.

Ok, don't ridicule this idea but seeing as we're hoping that older people will cocoon themselves, is there any such thing as a phone number that they can ring for a chat or something if they are lonely, particularly older people without family?

Most if not all have POS devices. The Chinese (yes them) have even more advanced payment methods like Alipay and Wechat.

There's numerous advantages to going cashless - hygiene, fewer robberies and theft and also eliminate black economy practices and under declaration of income to the taxman ie cash jobs.

Printing tons of new money would just lead to inflation and possible hyperinflation where money becomes totally worthless.

So that's a terrible idea.

Getting gas, electricity, landlords and mortgage lenders to suspend all required payments for 4-8 weeks like in France is much better option

So every utility company and bank in existence loses no income, but joe public still has to pay 100% (plus extra interest in the case of mortgages and bank loans) after losing out on 4-8 weeks of income. Looks like more socialism for the rich and capitalism for the poor.

Inflation has been way too low the last number of years. We could do with it being higher.

If, and it's a big damn if, inflation looked like it was getting too high, there are loads of tools available to rein it in. But I seriously doubt a one off payment to everyone would lead to hyperinflation.

Edit: Literally no chance of hyperinflation: "Economists usually follow Cagan’s description that hyperinflation occurs when the monthly inflation rate exceeds 50% (this is equivalent to a yearly rate of 12,874.63%)."

There's greater chance that we all die from covid 19 than helicopter money causing hyperinflation in the recession we're facing into.

Why put an apostrophe for any of them?

Just when I'd thought, "Someone more pedantic than I."
