It's not about being different it's about reducing less essential activities to keep the economy moving while reducing the opportunity for the virus to spread. There are also measures you can take at work that may or may not work in a pub or similar environment. For example, where I work all those that can WFH are, those of us that can't are on a shortened split shift. After one shift finishes there's a 15 minute gap before the next shift comes in, wipes down desks and door handles and what not and does their shift.

Agree and supplies of food medicine etc would have needed to be carefully controlled.
An international world for all its posatives does leave us open to this sort of pandemic. Worryingly we also have a agricultural base that could not sustain the populations food needs.
China has been the source of more than one virus and we need to make it clear to their government that monkeys, rats, lizards and bats are not to be sitting side by side in cages in markets anymore.

Yeah, but where's the downward curve in your rectangular graph?
I must admit I only briefly went through that section, watching bits here and there so apologies if I missed a relevant point - but he is talking about mortality rates there, my post was in reference to cumulative deaths.

OK cheers, it's when you said about passing it on to others, I was thinking "herd immunity" those boffins keep wobbling on about, maybe once we've had it we go around like Jesus curing lepars or something.

Have Hartlepool only got one case, because they go round hanging everyone who they think might be a Frenchman?

This last week has felt like a month. Not much that can be said apart from what has already been said- aside from these pricks who insist on going out & defying the advice need fucking locking up, they are going to literally kill people.
