I don't have a crystal ball but I think we can all agree there'll be five 100 page threads on here by the end of April March.

Could achieve that aim by this time next week to be fair.

When did 'self-isolating' replace 'quarantine the fuckers'?

When rich people got infected.

We need to flatten the curve.  Could people post more slowly please?

We're not counting quoters of quoters, people who say +1 and we have no figures on lurkers. It's a fucking mess to be honest.

Anyone watching Trump's press conference? It's quite funny, allowing for the fact I'm pissed...

"Mr. President don't you think you should get tested given you've been in contact with an infected individual?"

"Well... I will get tested but not for that reason. For other reasons."

"When?"

"We're working out a schedule."

You have to be drunk but this shit-show growing on me.

p.s. The U.S. is toast.

Ambient Sheep has a spreadsheet of this sort of thing, I might be able to get a copy.

Really quite staggering that Glastonbury announced the line-up today. Like that'll actually be going ahead.

Anybody got any virus?


I just watched the full press conference with Johnson and the Chief Scientific Advisor and Chief Medical Officer. They explain the timing thing quite convincingly, I thought. And explain why even isolation as a general piece of advice for generally vulnerable people hasn't been universally advised yet. I didn't get much of a sense that Johnson was doing much himself other than passing questions to them and taking their lead. When a question about something explicitly Government policy came up (around sick pay) he shat himself.

I thought I was developing eczema but no, just from washing my fucking hands. In not leaving the house til Autumn.

Went to the nearest big town today, the usually packed train was empty and the shopping centre was very low on shoppers, like 9am on a slow day empty. In the taxi on the way back home, the driver was on speakerphone to his mate who was informing him of current affairs:
"Yeah, man. You going to London tomorrow? Don't, man. That's where the most virus is. Get down Lidls, seriously. Stock up on rice, pasta, them tinned tomatoes yeah? Great in a curry, man. Listen you gotta stock up, innit? Things are gonna go bad and people ain't ready. You've gotta be ready, man."

After he handed my change over and we got out of the taxi he started coughing.
I have already died of the Coroner, which is handy as work have told us all to work from home next week.

It's bizarre. If they sell it out and then they have to refund everyone do the sellers keep their booking fees?

Remember, only get tested if you have the virus.

I went to Asda today and it was busier than normal. Town yesterday was exactly like normal.
This fucking town.

Just driven home through Lymm and some what looked like druids had built a wicker bat and filled it with Chinese looking people. Dunno if they reckon it'll do the trick or just a charity event but it certainly made me think.

I'd echo this, it helps with some numbers.

What did it make you think?
