Oh SKY what are you doing reading that liberal rag! Woo you got better taste than that, you feeling under the weather mate?

British newspapers are all dead but they can not see it, just look up the yearly sales of these rags, down down down.

Coming in at No.6 most read BBC News this...

Coronavirus: 12 patients treated by two coronavirus GPs being traced

Twelve patients treated by two British GPs who have been diagnosed with coronavirus are being traced by health officials, the BBC understands.

Between them, the two doctors worked in four different places in East and West Sussex - a nursing home, an A&E department and two GP practices.

That should cut down the time wasters.

After 13 days at sea and refusal by 5 ports, passengers aboard the Westerdam cruise ship are slated to disembark in Cambodia


https://news.yahoo.com/13-days-sea-r...152844595.html

Quote:
Passengers aboard the Westerdam luxury liner received good news on Wednesday: they will be able to disembark in Cambodia.

Panic about the coronavirus prompted five ports to turn away the luxury liner even though no one aboard the Westerdam tested positive for the illness.

Starting Thursday morning, the Westerdam will spend a few days at the port in Sihanoukville, Cambodia. Guests will be able to go ashore and take charter flights to the capital city of Phnom Penh, from where they can fly home.
PS or the other two cruise ships that do have sick people onboard ... especially the one off of Yokohama Japan that is getting new sick people everyday. They will have to scrub it really good maybe even dry dock it for a complete going over. If they don't think ahead and someone else gets sick after everyone else leaves they could lose the entire ship to law suits.

President Xi Jinping has reappeared in videos designed to project confidence in his government's handling of a virus, Covid-19,
that has killed more than 1,000 people in China.

The world isn't buying it, and neither should the Chinese people.



The article isn't worth linking too, but the pictures says it all

What do you guys want from me...? It does not matter what paper reports a story and whether you like that paper or not. What matters is whether the stoy it tells, is true. The story is also in many German media, at youtube, in newspaper, in Austria, Switzerland, Germany...



The lethality of this virus seems to be low, but it extremely infectous, apparently. And Chinese as well as foreigners returning from china are travelling all over the planet now, epsecially from asia to africa. In Asia, more and more of the big brands and corporations get affected by production shutdowns, because production lines break down and reserves of subcomopnents are no longer been kept up in modern "economics". Just today Hunday stopped production because their sub contractors cannot keep up the quantity of components straeming into Hunyday factories . A too huge part fo the workforce is already knocked out.



There is something like pandemic mathematics. It bases on how infectous a germ is, how mobile the carriers are, how many interhuman contacts they have per time period, and so forth. In case of Corona virus, these variables are extremely disadvantagous, it seems. The virus may not be extremely lethal, but neverthless can commit a "massacre" due to high quotas of populations getting infected.



Children however do not seem to be much affected at all, it seems.



So again, it does not matter whether the Guardian in Britain brings the story, Die Welt in Germany or Kronenzeitung in Austria, or a youtube video. That is not relevant. What matters are the arguments this doctor from Hongkong brings, and how well his claims are founded. And he is not just anybody, but is referred to as Hongkongs' leading epidemiologist. The WHO by now seems to be pretty much concered for sure.



The danger of Corona lies not in being so very lethal, it seems to be not that, but it can kill huge scores of people nevertheless - by being so extremely infectous. And the economic and production world feels the impact already now. It already now weighs heavy, and will become even heavier. Considering how bad the banking world, debts, cental bank policies and in general the fiscal situation of states are, Corona indeed could turn into a trigger for the next crash. I want to remind of the fact that central banks have no more gunpowder left in their magazines - the next crisis will see them totally helpless.

60% of the population, this is just scaremongering as usual, what's not unusual is the climate monsters have gone awfully quiet of late since this virus emerged, I bet there's quite a lot of them hoping that this story comes true....
@Skybird, at your age you should stop reading comics.

It can live for eight days(?) on metal surface so he probably only wants his "own" shopping cart


Seems like a good idea to me, I don't even like touching those communal things sans Kung Flu. Baby poop and who knows what else on there. Plus the wipes at the stores all seem to be completely unavailable in the last few days since more people are using them due to Corona fear.

Million dollar idea! A portable handle that you carry with you to cover up those nasty shopping cart handles with a drink holder included. Dang it, somebody beat me to it.
