Coronavirus outbreak

🤮😱🤢

I've eaten that stuff once. Only once. Outward bound course as a 16 year old, and the organisers made us make the stuff on an open fire by the sea in Scotland. I'd have preferred a real potatoe. Our group actually made it correctly, the other groups didn't - sloppy mess. We had to eat it as we were on rations.

I've had Smash a couple of times in the caravan.

Tastes quite good.

From that point of view, it's one of the more authentic convenience foods.

Probably loads of E numbers in it.

One big part of Italy’s problem is it’s high ageing population. It’s second in the world behind Japan.

This is a fun way to get people hand washing.

Free to use type in the song and it turns it into a hand washing poster with song words for each step.
All power to the lad who did it.

Brits with spare cash and want of a house in Umbria have noticed that.

I used "The WASP (Texas Radio And The Big Beat)" by The Doors. The results are surreal, although sadly you can stop washing just before "out here we is stoned immaculate".

All European travel to the US from Europe suspended by the Trumpster.

Except from the UK.

Come on, what's so special about our relationship with the US?

Just listened to The Inquiry : How did the Chinese turn the tide with coronavirus? on BBC World Service.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w3csythh

Well worth listening to (23mins), among other things it looks at the measures taken to isolate the population:

• How people have not left their apartments for 6 weeks,
• 
  
• How gates to residential compounds are locked to prevent people leaving and if they spend too much time outside around the compound Drones monitor them and tell them to return inside,
• 
  
• How meal deliveries arrive and are left with a note attached giving the name of Chef and delivery driver and their current temperature to show they are not infected and many other startlingly fascinating facts.
• 
  
• Etc

Illuminating on a number of levels - the draconian levels of population control it has taken to bring the epidemic under control and the level of population control that the Chinese state is able to mobilise at short notice and the degree of acceptance of such controls.

If there's no bog roll, we'll ALL be "cycling up Winnats Pass". And Tagnut Pike. And Dangleberry Chimney.

Time for this old Chestnut again.

It's all I ever use.

Not providing free testing. Blaming other countries for their travel arrangements spreading a virus when it's already in the US, but not restricting movement between the states of his own country. Standard Trump denial.

As usual, Trump finds a simple bogeyman, uses a grand gesture, congratulates himself and misses the point by a country mile (quelle suprise)....
