    Just on Coronavirus, the graph in the tweet below shows the importance of minimising contact for as long as possible.

    Seen that the failed runner Bloomberg in the American presidential race.

    If he had decided that rather run but divide the money he spent on his race between every American citizen, they each would have received $1.3 million each !

    He spent a half billion dollars and then decided to pull out, that’s some money !

    Imagine what that would have done for their society.

    I never knew you watched Fox news?

    The figure worked out at just over one dollar for each American citizen.

    Your zeros are bit wrong there IWT. A billion is a thousand million.
    He spent 500 million on 327 million people. Just over a dollar fifty cent on each.

    Apparently this started in Oklahoma lately today from someone welding a fence on dried out pasture.

    Really? I'm not arguing with you but that mathematical blunder was broadcast on the moncrieff show by Tom Dunne and it was mentioned it was a mistake on Fox News as being typical of Fox News.

    The above would be the other end of the spectrum in media to Fox.

    No, it was on MSNBC with Brian Williams. https://twitter.com/Breaking911/status/1235919906052419585?s=20

    The coronavirus death toll is climbing worldwide — but so is its recovery rate.

    More than 50,000 people globally have bounced back from the flu-like illness since it was first reported in December, according to Johns Hopkins University.

    Here's the good news about coronavirus
    Of the more than 94,000 total cases reported as of Wednesday afternoon, more than 51,000 people have recovered, the vast majority of whom are in China, where the virus originated, according to the university.

    The CL would still be played but behind closed doors, I'd say, same as the PL. Euros definitely in doubt and probably ACN next winter as well.

    There's a good few months before this will start to plateau, never mind to start falling.

    I've had two Chinese takeaways this week...... there's so many potential risks it doesn't seem worth worrying about that one.

    Do you have a usual order or like me you chop & change each time? Honey ribs would be my usual fall back if I'm in a hurry.

    A local shop has a range of frozen goods on sale, all chicken based.
    Things like nuggets, breaded chicken pieces, peri-peri chicken pieces etc.
    All are imported from China!
