What are the odds of Euro2020 and the Olympics going ahead?


Pretty small I would wager.

Apparently males in China have amongst the highest smoking rates in the world but females are way below average. I don't know if this is reflected in the mortality rates?

Supermarkets begin food rationing after wave of coronavirus-fuelled panic buying


https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/03/07/supermarkets-begin-food-rationing-wave-coronavirus-fueled-panic/


Supermarkets have been forced to act after their shelves were plundered again on Saturday, with customers reporting shortages of ready meals, toilet roll and paracetamol.

Tesco took the decision to limit some food and drink to five items per customer, in addition to antibacterial gels, wipes and sprays.

A spokesman confirmed the restrictions, which will also limit the amount of Calpol people can purchase, began on Saturday, and will apply to online shopping orders from Sunday.

The Government is also expected to announce plans to alert supermarkets before the general public if they are in coronavirus hotspots, to help avoid empty aisles.


...

Prof Sheila Bird, formerly programme leader at the MRC Biostatistics Unit, University of Cambridge, said that the UK's cumulative total "is currently doubling roughly every two days".

If that continues the number of confirmed infections in the UK could hit 412 by Monday and continue to skyrocket. By next Friday some 1,600 people could have the virus and by Tuesday March 17 the figure could be as many as 6,592.

...

Saturday's rise came after the chief scientific adviser confirmed the infection was now spreading person to person as part of an outbreak in Britain, having been initially limited to infections brought in from abroad.

My son phoned NHS 111 the other day when his partner developed flu symptoms.  She’s been in close contact with me and hubby since we came back from Asia, so they sent her to a CV pod at the local hospital.   At the pod, they took her temperature but they didn’t test her specifically for CV as it’s 4 weeks since we returned and beyond the 14 day incubation period.

Northern Italy quarantines 16 million people. That's incredible. When was the last time an area of Europe was quarantine?


Another thing, its Easter in 5 weeks time, the tourism industry is going to be hit really hard with this.

I went to two supermarkets yesterday and all the shelves were well stocked with everything but liquid hand soap.  There was absolutely no sign of panic buying either but I daresay there will be if the media are encouraging it.

The media - well, some of it - is over-hyping this massively and is helping to cause the very shortages people are worrying about. As I said in my earlier post, it's the tone they're using, rather than the fact they're reporting it. I'm very disappointed in the Tele for choosing that route, it's more what I'd expect in the Mail or Express.


Check the BBC's reporting for a less hysteric view, or the Guardian.
