If you want a coronavirus conspiracy, there’s one going around that blames 5G phone technology!
I made the mistake of looking at that. Pretty odd ball to say the least eh?.... But then I scrolled down to the comments section..... absolute bat s*** crazy stuff there.
I'm pretty despairing. The net was meant to disperse knowledge but a good chunk of it is just enjoy disposing of knowledge.
I’ve had daily emails since the possible threat was recognised
Maybe just Worcestershire then as they definitely have had nothing.
Our local "cheap shop" owned by a Chinese family and stocking Chinese products is running on a staff of one. The son of the owner (my friend Ye). The rest of the family - Ye's dad, his wife Lulu and his cousin, are all avoiding the public in the shop. The primary school aged son still goes to school. When Ye has to do something away from the shop, the shop closes.
On Spanish tv they showed that these types of shops in more densely populated areas were simply staying closed.
It’s mildly amusing that the demographics most likely to die from this or get shafted by the government are the ones who mostly voted for brexit
Mildly amusing for you to think that those who voted differently to you about EU/Brexit will die? If there such a thing as Karma then you best be worried. But congratulations on identifying yourself as a very special sort of nasty person.
Just suffered 10 minutes of some self-entitled tourist in Tenerife on the BBC describing the "hell" of being holed-up in a hotel for 2 weeks and how she'd rather be in "England" - I bet she wouldn't if she lived in Ironbridge?

I can do better than that

Hopefully this is an anomaly or an error in her first test but..

Has it become transmissible by water then?

All open up here. There's a big one where I pick up junior from the school bus and it's been rammed with folk the last few days buying carnaval costumes.
There's a school in Buxton been closed for deep cleaning after a confirmed case there. That's getting quite close to home!
Might avoid the Buxton train line for a bit...
Has anyone found any decent (i.e. informed, scientific, not mental) twitter accounts to follow on covid 19?
Apparently 14% of chinese cases are redeveloping it (or more likely, becoming asymptomatic for a period before something triggers it again). Even more uncontainable!
From bbc:
Chinese health officials say that about 14% of people who had the coronavirus but recovered and were discharged from hospital have tested positive for the virus again.
@drericding
Has some interesting insights. Did put a full link on, but it embedded his entire tweet history onto the page.

Was that the one wearing sunglasses 3x too big for her head having a rant about how the government should be dropping everything to charter her a flight home?
A good article here

Some boggling conspiracies doing the rounds on the usual anti-science/tinfoil-hat subs in Reddit. So far I've stumbled on variations of:
- It's all fake. Paid actors to keep you scared, lower the over-inflated stock market and push the Big Pharma vaccine propaganda
- It's real but is a bioweapon released by "the elite" to lower the world population
- It's actually transmitted in Corona beer, who recently moved production from Mexico to China. They called it coronavirus to make this claim seem silly.
- China released this in retaliation for Trump winning the trade war with them
- It's God's divine punishment for LGBTQ/liberals/atheists/whatever
Make's sense. I mean it couldn't possibly just be a virus that evolved, because evolution isn't real. Right? 🙄
I was wondering about that the other day - just because you've recovered, doesn't necessarily mean you aren't carrying the virus any more.
Thanks Martinhutch - looks good
Checked out your beard safety yet?
So I've just shared a lift with someone at work who was wearing a kungfu panda face mask. I guess it was only a matter of time before they became a fashion accessory.
oh christ maybe we are all going to die... Hang on. No gray. Gray's okay?
Wouldn’t want to be Geoff from Byker Grove....
i see they've renamed the hitler as the "toothbrush"
I guess it was only a matter of time before they became a fashion accessory.
That boat sailed around the same time as galileo

About 15 years ago.
theres a run on the sale of dettol! is there an aldi/lidl stw certified equivalent ?
It's down to smart vaccines activated by 5g...

I've had a very minor tickly throat for the last ~30 hours and I've felt a bit fatigued despite tapering off the cycling over the last week. Have I got COVID 19, or is it just Cat AIDS?
Sadly I can't self-isolate from work in the short term, as I'm not due in until Tues, but it might play havoc with my indoor cycling from another storm blowing through over the weekend. 🙁
@PrinceJohn no surprise that the person posting that impressively bizarre conspiracy also identifies as a Trump supporter (from their profile pic and the fact it goes on to praise Trump for creating Space Force to combat this "weaponized technology")
Or...
maybe they are completely sane and just pretend to be a nutter Trump supporter to undermine his genuine support base. Maybe that's the real conspiracy...
or is it just Cat AIDS?
Do you realise how few documented cases there are of a real person contracting and recovering from cat AIDS? There are no human survivors of FIV, not one, that makes your 5g activated weaponised bat cold look like a bit of a sniffle in comparison.
several people in our office not have full blown flu and are still coming in.
Looks like its survival of the fittest.

I’m sure the decade of austerity and extra 350 million a week for the NHS will save them.

That conspiracy theory sounds similar to the story of Kingsman: The Secret Service
some serious selling on the worlds stock markets looking like 4.5% fall in the FTSE by the close.
UAE Tour Cancelled with immediate effect
It’s down to smart vaccines activated by 5g…
Now you know what Lord Flasheart's been up to.
I made the mistake of looking at that. Pretty odd ball to say the least eh?…. But then I scrolled down to the comments section….. absolute bat s crazy stuff there.
I didn’t get that far, I read the opening piece, and had to stop, my brains were starting to leak out of my ears. Plus I’d likely want to throw things at the *wits who perpetuate that sort of garbage.
More on the UAE
klunk - we're well into 'correction' territory now on both FTSE and wall street.
I posted about this somewhere up there ^^^; market falls can take on a life of their own and become self-perpetuating. If we don't see an upturn by mid next week I think we're looking at a prolonged dose of economic pain; having said that, there will be share buying opportunities - timing will be all.
Also posted about pressures on global supply chains - it's not just running out of components etc, it's ships and containers being in the wrong places and that will take time to sort. This will expose the fragility of just-in-time and, maybe, bring product/component manufacturing closer to home (unlikely because of higher prices) or lead to increased stockholding (just in case - unlikely) or nothing will change (very likely).
So, we have just in time or just in case options; just too late is the missing component.
I wonder how many investors are beginning to panic and sell shares; this will depress the markets further.
The economic impact will far outweigh the physical. Went for a post lunch box stroll around Jordan yesterday, its a old school section of Kowloon near my office full of street markets and 'mom and pop' small shops. The street markets were still running as people need to buy their veggies but id say around 60% of the shops were all shuttered up.
Cathay Pacific are asking their own staff to take unpaid leave (management are of course not stating if they are volunteering as well) and although the majority of shops near my home are open its all on skeleton staff. Eventually these companies will not be able to afford to keep staff out of shops.
Home delivery services from the local supermarkets are now difficult to book, they are not stopping this service, its just take up is causing big delays in using the service.
As Frank mentions above about some gaining through this, shares in tech companies in the collaboration space are on the up as well as those making masks etc though I would sell my shares in any pleasure cruise companies if you have them (this is good as they are terrible polluters anyway).
One interesting part is, for me anyway as I work in the tech/project side of a large multinational, is how we are running with remote staffing and how the technology is bearing up with minimal disruption bar of course actually getting people in to do the work (well, China and Japan at present, India and Australia seem to be ticking along). The same can be said for a lot of my friends who work in the education here, they all seem to be handling the technology enabling remote teaching really well and most report that they are not getting the riding time they thought they could because they are still working, sadly for me also.
Also, being British and a little introverted, its a bit of a godsend having a plausible excuse for not going out to meet people for lunch, dinner, drinks etc and I for one welcome our new 5G/Chemtrail overlords.
Interesting watch.... Release date was over a year ago....
UAE tour cancelled after 2 Italian riders tested positive
> https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/feb/27/chris-froome-facing-coronavirus-test-after-uae-tour-is-cancelled <
It seems like part of the containment plan is to get us through winter in the hope that warmer spring weather will reduce the likelihood of person to person transmission. Therefore wouldn't it be better to make Froome, Cavendish etc sit outside by the pool all day rather than in an overly air-conditioned UAE hotel room??
Listening to the news this morning you'd think it was a zombie apocalypse. I really can't help but think this is a massive overreaction. The vast majority of people show little signs when they have the illness so how do they know it's not already wide spread?
The potential economic damage with such a knee jerk global response is far more concerning.
I'd just open the gates and let the thing run it's course.
