"Currants Bw..."

She's right though, isn't she?
All these lies about how we needed to leave to get control of our border.
The minute they really needed to, they just did it. So we could have too

She's not right. A state of emergency is in effect in these countries. Under normal conditions you can't exercise any of these powers. Which is why I was wondering if the stupid, ignorant, fat, ugly cunt wants to live under a perpetual state of emergency just to win the internets. I mean how pathetic can this person actually be?

They were always lies. Sad thet people are still repeating them, just to avoid admitting they were wrong.

How's the fishing going?

Australian researchers reckon they may have found a viable cure and tests are being conducted.

'It's a potentially effective treatment. Patients would end up with no viable coronavirus in their system at all after the end of therapy.'

The drugs are both already registered and available in Australia.

'What we want to do at the moment is a large clinical trial across Australia, looking at 50 hospitals, and what we're going to compare is one drug, versus another drug, versus the combination of the two drugs.'

Hope it's not fake news.

Couldn’t even get a tin of baked beans at Sainsbury’s earlier. People are thick as fuck.

MERS is still in Europe and circulating around the globe, apparently. Far deadlier than CoronaVirus.

But he's still a decent bloke tbf.

Summary of "the science" as it stands today:

1. There is still virtually nothing known about immunity in relation to this virus. Nobody knows for sure whether herd immunity can be effectively developed or if the disease can reinfect recovered patients. This was stated today by at least two medical experts from two sources. Therefore, what was being said last week by the government and their senior advisors is pure guesswork based on nothing at all. In this case, there is no science to guide them because it doesn't exist.

2. The virus could have a significant presence until spring of next year, and will likely recur annually like the flu.

3. Two medical sources have advised that if the outer estimates of infection and sickness is realised, 1 in 8 people may need to be hospitalised and the level of treatment required will be significant and extensive.

This seems a far cry from last week when a minority of the elderly and those with underlying conditions were most at risk. Either they have decided to treat us all like children and break the news slowly and with cuddles and reassurances, or, there are some very irresponsible professionals out there hyping it up in the most unhelpful way.

What we can say for sure is the British government has taken a huge risk, with virtually nothing to base it on. They aren't being "guided by the science", they are being advised by individuals who have no evidence to support their theories. The bullshit about it "not being the right time yet" to try to prevent the rate of infection never made any sense. The arguments that public gatherings and open schools made little difference, those make absolutely no sense either. Social distancing seems to be the one strategy that mostly every expert outside the UK agrees on.

The reason they won't show us "the science" is because there isn't any.

We've just had an update asking us to WAH for the foreseeable.
Not actually policy yet, they haven't made it mandatory, but that could soon follow.
Going to start panic buying, tbh
