Morning all, please ensure you are stocking up on tinned food and shotguns ready for the forthcoming Stephen Kings "The Stand" style pandemic.
I've run some numbers based on what I know at the moment, and I estimate that the global death toll could be around 200 million, based on the current infectivity rate and a mortality of 3%. I would lay off the Chinese food and if you have any Chinky neighbours, I would chase them away with firey sticks.

Tempted to have a Chinese takeaway tonight. Coronavirus (or 2019-nCoV to give it it's sexy full name) doesn't sound too bad compared to it's mate SARS or a dose of the old Ebola.
Quite fancy a few weeks in quarantine.

The British citizens that have been repatriated and flown back from China to Brize Norton airbase have now been transferred by coach to where they will spend two weeks in quarantine. Check out the name of the coach firm that the FOUR coaches are from! We're doooomed.....  |

Love how the driver is wearing his smart uniform while the doctor is in a full bio-hazard suit. Couldn't they find the old chap a surgical mask to wear.  |

Seems like the Chinese have got their shit together. They have built a massive new hospital in just ten days to treat the infected. Groundwork, foundations, walls, roof and kitted out inside less than two weeks.
I imagine in the UK after ten days some jobsworth would still be drafting the planning application.

We went for a Chinese on my birthday last week.
Very strange driving back from Derry to Belfast earlier, near Toome on the bypaas and there was a Chinese looking lady by the road talking on her mobile and crying, didnt stop in case she was a carrier.

Were there aircraft landing and taking off from her? If so she was definitely a carrier

The "whistleblower doctor" in China who first alerted the medical community to the virus has been killed by it. Apparently it pushed him down some stairs in a police station.

I had a work trip to Holland cancelled a couple of weeks ago at the last minute because of fears of the Virus.
I'm due one of my regular trips to Padua, near to Venice next month, that's going to go down the pan I bet, one of my colleagues is there now.

I wouldn’t snog him when he gets back if I were you, a bit of gentle rimming should be ok though.
My first estimate of a 3% mortality is slightly high vs 2.2% which brings my estimate down to 160 million, but it just goes to show how clever I am.
Now, as we transition to spring in the Northern Hemisphere, increased temperature and UV plus people going out more willlead to the slowdown of the virus but of course the Southern Hemisphere is going the other way. Thankfully all the darkies, wogs and other peasants are concentrated in the NH so I’m hoping we dodge a bullet. Still, its good practice until a really serious one comes along.

Imo, it’s going to come to every town. I have 2 meetings scheduled over the next 60 days in person. I can work from home over video chat.
Purchased extra canned goods each week for a few weeks. I live in a rural area. Lots of guns and ammo reported from local friends. I don’t own any guns.....
I watch several expats living in China on YouTube. China is fucked.
Here people laugh and think it’s only the flu... it spreads easier than the flu.

He's now in 14 days isolation, so I've got to go to work in Thurrock, Essex this coming weekend as he should have been doing the work from the Factory test, he got 4 nights in Italy I get 3 nights in fooking Thurrock because of it. And as a Potters foundation member I had the offer of 2 tickets for the Hull match at £5 each |

Your tinned grits and creamed corn adding in the bumming as an added extra. Ps bumming or no bumming stock up on arse wipe |
