    If I did get stuck there, I’d be fine with that. Just as I was when stuck out there when all air travel was disrupted by the Eyjafjallajökull eruptions.
    Yeah, Isle of Man, Calgary, a private suite in Vegas, these are all exceptions to the general rule.

    It's about time Ryanair and Easyjet advised against travelling with them.

    As it happens, she’s a massive show off who always HAS to be at the centre of attention.
    And I’m pretty sure she voted for Brexit.
    So... her
    Yeah, that’s well funny.

    There will be a lot of people fucked after this.

    We should all be considering what we would usually spend and where, and make sure if it’s unspent, it goes to those who need it. Fuck saving it.
    It's better to burn out, than to fade away.

    There will although she won’t be one of them.

    A lot of small businesses and some bigger ones are going to be really struggling.

    I’m somewhat conflicted about what the government should be doing about that.

    If I'm reading this right, this guy might never have treated a patient in his entire career.

    As scientists living and working in the UK, we would like to express our concern
    about the course of action announced by the Government on 12th March 2020
    regarding the Coronavirus outbreak. In particular, we are deeply preoccupied
    by the timeline of the proposed plan, which aims at delaying social distancing
    measures even further.
    The current data about the number of infections in the UK is in line with the
    growth curves already observed in other countries, including Italy, Spain, France,
    and Germany [1]. The same data suggests that the number of infected will be in
    the order of dozens of thousands within a few days.
    Under unconstrained growth, this outbreak will affect millions of people in the
    next few weeks. This will most probably put the NHS at serious risk of not
    being able to cope with the flow of patients needing intensive care, as the number
    of ICU beds in the UK is not larger than that available in other neighbouring
    countries with a similar population [2]. Going for “herd immunity” at this point
    does not seem a viable option, as this will put NHS at an even stronger level of
    stress, risking many more lives than necessary.
    By putting in place social distancing measures now, the growth can be slowed
    down dramatically, and thousands of lives can be spared. We consider the social
    distancing measures taken as of today as insufficient, and we believe that additional
    and more restrictive measures should be taken immediately, as it is already
    happening in other countries across the world.
    We urge anyone who has sympathy with our views, and access to the government
    strategy group, to make our concerns more widely known.

    Thank fuck there are other people who can grasp the obvious.
