I've actually taken this seriously right from the start (Jan), I made a personal plan (for work and supplies) and tried to wash my hands better and more often and touch my face less (the last one is impossible!). I mocked Q at the time for the silly stuff, but he was right to emphasise the danger. I've also been saying for weeks now that Italy and the European govts have probably mishandled the Italian epidemic. I also don't understand why the UK govt has not taken more low economic impact measures (encouraging work from home, testing everyone with symptoms etc.)


Two can play this silly game though, you made a post in mid-Feb criticising those who were advocating extreme measures.

Did you read the report in the Times earlier in the week about the state of the flat at No10? Dirty clothes strewn all over, filthy plates and cups left unwashed, piles of dog sh1t on the floor? King Boris is a total slob and his latest paramour is barely any better.

I have never glossed over this, I have simply been advocating a proportional response to the threat, having regard for the wider issues.

Would be interesting to know the exact number of infections in the UK. BBC's health correspondent just now upped his recent "10x" estimate to "10, 50 maybe even 100", which would imply the 5,000 to 50,000 range.

It sounds like Q's Opposite is running Britain's response.

PS: Apparently the US response has been designed to exclude Trump resorts. I've just been told by Americans.

Greece preemptively cancels elective surgery in their NHS. Their system is obviously weakened by the economic crisis.

The EU is killing itself with its fight to keeps its ideals of free movement. And we appear to be doing the same. Britain is not open for business and should be closed now. We are just basically importing the virus in larger amounts with each day that goes past. The farce of the Liverpool game last night when those Madrid fans would be committing an illegal act in their own country is beyond belief.

As I said yesterday, this is clearly a case of staring at models without looking out of the window.

I wrote 10 days ago - "Close borders with Italy" - I wrote at that time that France, Switzerland, Austria and Slovenia should close their borders with Italy with immediate effect. I was told I was being hysterical by some, but I was right.


The best way to protect your population is to reduce the spread and when another region is a virus hotspot, you quarantine it - in the first case that should have meant telling people not to travel to Italy and ensuring all those returning from Italy on special charters for the purpose were quarantined automatically for 14 days.


If the government had acted that way ten days ago (and I did write to my MP urging that course of action), we would be in a better place now.


And as for letting the Atletico Madrid supporters in yesterday - utter insanity!
