This bit is the game changer.

20min long queues for Morrisons at Gamston. Let me know if you hear of any of this heavy policing stuff mate.

I've ditched the upper/lower split in favour of full body. No weights, just a heap of calisthenics. Probably increase the frequency of my workouts too. My gym has suspended all memberships, but I've told them to keep my direct debit going so long as I'm still employed myself. They're good people, running a class gym and those of us that are doing alright through this need to support those that are being impacted by it in whatever ways we can. It's not exactly worthy of a knighthood but I just feel it's right.

The longer this goes on the less I trust any info coming out of China mate. After all it is a totalitarian regime which has even Chinese emigrants living in the West in full support of the ideology that "what is best for the nation comes before what is the right of the individual". A lot of people will now feel they have all the evidence they need to prove china is lying, but personally I don't have anything close to that, but I do have a lot of doubts. It'd take a bit of effort and research to shed those doubts and make a decision on what is actually going on there.

Sometimes, sometimes not. Focusing on the sometimes and ignoring the sometimes not is confirmation bias.
-
I'm seeing quite a bit of confirmation bias going on over this. I'm not bothered enough/at all to challenge it.

I understand and agree with his concerns over acceptable collateral damage to economy, the severity of this disease and specifically how severe it will be in the UK. But there's a heap more in that 10mins that I thought was absolute nonsense tbh. All the same, all views welcome.

I'm hoping it's just the good weather. I want the rain to come back!
-
On my normal morning dog walk I never see a soul. By design! Holy f**k, now every c**t has found out about it.
-
The curve has been quite steady and consistent up until now, for all countries really. I wouldn't expect anything drastic. Someone will have lost the clicker or run out of fingers and toes! I expect around another hundred to be added. Hitting 600 mark wouldn't be unexpected though.

Lucy, Arrival, Interstellar, Stargate, Contact.

Not at all mate.

I also want to clarify this. I'm seeing more a more folks pointing out cases of apparently healthy young people dying. I'm assuming by doing this they are trying to suggest these demographics are at significant or even equal risk? I really don't think anything has changed. Yes healthy people are and will die, yes young people will die, even children if the pandemic continues. That doesn't mean these demographics are at the same risk as the old and those in the, now well publicised, vulnerable groups. It's just the nature of statistics.

Found myself researching China's nuclear capabilities last week just to see if it was feasible..... My mind is a f***ing roller-coaster at times!
-
Really out of my depth there mate. I'm just looking at numbers and basic trends. That's my thing. What your asking is probably quite in depth virology/chemistry/engineering stuff. I just want to make that clear. My gut instinct says that if they had something then it'd be publicly known about, for one simple reason really it'd provide a sense of progress and control. It may well then be restricted by the government and testing operated in a controlled way. But I honestly don't know mate. In these instances I really strongly defer to the actual experts in the field.
-
Honest to f**k nuke the c**ts now. The whole country is f***ing a bio-hazard!
-
Data! We need data! Everyone seems focused on 'weapons' but intelligence is mighty powerful in a war. I think the South Koreans have proven that.
-
I'm following those numbers like my life depends on it, looking up sources etc etc. And I'm not the least bit concerned really. LOL. I just want to cut through the bollocks and find the truth. I wouldn't like to back any dog in this race at this point, but yeah, I'm certainly not expecting the world to end for us just yet. It's just not clear and plenty of reason to be hopeful.
-
Mate, you see things very black and white. I never see things with such contrast, the whole world is varying shades of grey to my mind and eye. Do you understand where I'm going with that? Put simply, yes we should. It's when we start talking about the details that we might disagree.
-
Indeed but given the lack of certainty it's wise to play safe. Your post was certainly reason to be hopeful. Not negligent.
-
I agree with that, we don't really have a clue how many have been infected already. That data is untrustworthy. But, since the world found out about COVID-19 and learnt how to diagnose it anyone dying from respiratory related illness will be tested and so that data IS trustworthy. That data is showing an exponential growth, in layman's terms 'an explosion', which is consistent with a new infectious disease. Not something which has been around for a long time imo.
-
That or their quarantine has worked. Be difficult to determine the cause.
-
I'm saying that it's not if you understand the system well enough. Epidemics follow exponential trends which means the data can be extrapolated forwards or backwards. You just need trustworthy data.
