[quote It's only that bloke's opinion but he's probably got a more valid opinion on these things than the vast majority of the population given that he's an expert.[/quote]
More valid than the experts that BJ is listening to no doubt.
You all quote the experts that suit you. But ignore those that don’t. For anyone to be an expert in a new virus can only be acceptable by morons. Or those with a political agenda

As Gove said, what seems like a hundred years ago, we've all had enough of experts. Erm, until we need them.

The 1957 Hong Kong flu epidemic killed 16,000 people in this country and disappeared nearly overnight but no reference is ever made to this.

It's what comes from having a load of lawyers, journalists and the various other non-techincal former professions of the people who run our country. To get elected as an MP you need to be a good public speaker, which is quite rare for those from a STEM background. Yet so many of the problems and challenges the world faces (climate change, overpopulation, robotics, automation, biotechnology, cryptocurrencies etc) need a good grasp of science and the other STEM disciplines! Instead we spent years pissing in the wind discussing trade deals and the like, stuff that in the grand scheme of things isn't that important. Important to lawyers and some business people maybe, but science is where the real action is!

That’s where we went wrong. If only we’d put the editor of the Guardian in charge there’d be no deaths no illness, and we’d all be millionaires.
You’re regressing. You used to pretend to be politically neutral. Now you’ve thrown off any pretence that you’re one of the rabid anti-centre left brigade. The article refers to an expert who was working on the strategy for years. It’s not an opinion piece.

Can’t have a sensible debate with the likes of you. I guess the Guardian is facts. But the Mail is right wing propaganda.
If we are in a war with Coronavirus then the Guardian is Lord Haw Haw.
Ah there you go. Calling anyone not on the right a fascist. First refuge of the politically bankrupt.

As of March 29, 2020, 20:33 GMT
Coronavirus Cases World Wide: 717,656
Deaths:33,876
Recovered:150,890
Currently Infected Patients: 532,890
Mild Condition: 506,153 (95%)
Serious or Critical: 26,737 (5%)
Fatality rate is between 4-5% of those infected.
The thing that is starting to concern me is in China the L strain of Corona virus was the one causing most of the deaths. I have seen no mention anywhere since I said there was two strains of Corona virus a few weeks ago. Has the strain that made it to our shores mutated, is it the L strain? and is it the L strain in Italy, Iran and France.

It doesn’t help that the readership of The Daily Mail has been numbed by all the sensationalist, clickbait scare stories that the ‘paper’ has produced over the past few years. You can add The Express to that too. Everytime there’s a slight chance of a winter frost, The Mail goes into full on The Shining mode. “BULGARIAN BUILDERS ARE INVADING *YOUR* PETROL STATIONS TO STOCK UP ON SPITFIRE SCREENWASH - buy screenwash now, right now, or you, your hard working loved one’s and our military heroes will die immediately in an icy death like Diana, 36” PAKISTANI GAZELLE FLU - Katie Hopkins, 46, says, “Boycott Bangladeshi takeaways to flush out the jihadi virus that will steal away your children in the night. The housing market will crash and you will die today”. Hopkins (46) blubbers, “Ban the Bhuna, now” FRENCH FROG VIRUS - Susanna Reid, 44, commands attention with sideboob, sizzling in a gown made of cheddar. Whilst displaying her curves and décolletage, Reid (44), breaks down under the strain of certain impending death from French Frog Virus. Co-star Piers Morgan worries that Reid (44) is a lost cause. “She will die, she will die. And the Bulgarian builders have stolen all of our Dambusters De-icer. Temperatures could PLUMMET in the Hindu Kush overnight to MINUS 23. We will die, we will die”. Reid (44) was unavailable for comment but poured her curves into a circle of Camembert to repel the French infidels from our beaches. So when something serious does happen Mail readers brush it off like fresh plaque.

In Russia, the churches are open because viruses apparently don't like holy places. One of the congregants in an interview, a Russian GP no less, said so. Just goes to show that idiocy is very widespread around the world.

Nope never said I am neutral. But slightly to the right. Have voted Labour in the past but certainly wouldn’t come close at the moment. As is the way of any extreme thinker. If I don’t agree with you I must be an extremest. Well you’re wrong.
