    Don’t the French generally have revolutions about this sort of thing?

    "Mayor Anne Hidalgo and the chief of police said this would restrict people to exercise "when the streets are generally at their quietest"."

    Err but if they're all about in the evening the streets won't be quiet any more will they...?

    What the fuck? So the instruction is to stay home, vegetate on the couch and die of heart disease and obesity?

    Why is everyone copying me all of a sudden?

    The rate at which people are getting infected is slowing. So they mean in 2 weeks we should start seeing the numbers coming down sharply.

    If you look at the numbers the US has done a pretty good job. So has Australia. And little mentioned Iceland seems to have done the best job of all. Apart from China of course, who are just amazing. They're due to have minus 2 deaths tomorrow.

    That's judging by the numbers, which I'm guessing are all wrong anyway or at least incomparable. Not sure what's going on in the UK but it doesn't look great if we are to compare.

    Suspect as we haven’t tested as many, the number of infected persons is very undercooked

    And if we’re using Covid-19 as cause of death rather than the catalyst, we’re probably overstating deaths.

    Needless to say, as every country is reporting differently, no comparisons can be made. Merely, we can see the trend of social distancing slowing the spread.

    We’ll need to keep this up presumably, because it’ll be on the rise again otherwise.
    It's better to burn out, than to fade away.

    Ran out of hand sanitizer so I've cracked open a bottle of Famous Grouse. If that doesn't kill the virus nothing can stop it.

    Blimey, just turned on Sky "News" and landed in the middle of a report that sounded like Johnson was on his last breath. Had to check around to make sure it was just more fake news from them. They also ran a not too subtle hit piece on Liverpool for some reason. One bloke there thinks it's shit they're covering Johnson instead of the nurses. From that they concluded the city is split in deciding whether they want Johnson to live or die. And they think the Sun was bad?

    Is Murdoch trying for a cheeky coup? His news stooges just keep going on and on asking how we should be changing the fundamental nature of government. They can't even get the opposition politicians to play along, but that's not stopping them hammering away. It's so blatant.
