Regarding the L and S types - this (I know, it's the Fail) makes a little more sense that the contradictory Tele one, and would seem to indicate better news.

Until Tuesday I know that all deaths there were aged 63 and over with some also having existing medical conditions. Not sure whether that is still the case now.

Agreed. People need to remember that it’s the impact that it will have on other things.


It wouldn’t take much for riots to KO if people thought they had a chance to go on a spree I.e the police force impacted significantly

To be fair the expert four quoted a few days ago made a definite prediction saying Iran would collapse by the end of today.

The real consequence of what is currently happening will be thousands of businesses going bust and more people made unemployed than who die.  


Of course the big difference between cancer and covid-19 is that the former kills people of all ages whilst the latter mostly kills only the very old or those already suffering illnesses such as cancer ....

If the answer to that question is no, then you shouldn't be worried about the UK overeacting because no democracy is capable of doing what China did.

This one is quite surprising - latest figure for Norway:












However, according to the Norwegian press, most of the affected people in the Oslo region had been on vacation in Milan, Italy, although it does not explain why so many Norwegians had recently been to Milan (was it for a conference?).

Using toilet paper is absolutely disgusting. All you do is push it around, it isn’t very clean. 


If and when I eventually buy a house I will be getting a bum-gun installed. After my trips to SE Asia I absolutely swear by them.

Do these gun equipped toilets still provide toilet paper so a quick wipe round can visually confirm the cleaning process is complete, or are they provided with rear view mirrors (pun intended)

In other news, Flybe on the brink of collapse. The first of at least a few I suspect. Grim.
