Perfect wind up material for my friends ... might tweet it too ...  

I’ve just sent it to my group. Will look like a right dick if it actually happens though.

Google maps says 12 miles by car from FWHC, getting a bit sketchy now!

Now if I send that to my friends they will never take me seriously again ... not that they do already

I'm impressed with how quickly they can test - I do hope they aren't using the traditional Chinese method - cos that went South this morning.

Probably a response to the Grand Prix news ... can’t be seen as being lax about any perceived threat

One of my group is a lurker of these forums and must have seen this thread as she immediately replied “The Nal?”

coming to a town near you soon - ‘scaremongering’ aside, does anyone genuinely believe this is even feasible in the western world? In a communist country maybe, but I imagine most Brits would stick two fingers up at this and go out anyway. This does feel increasingly like end of days shit.

my favourite quote is China hasn't been lying just “reality is taking a long time to catch up with the facts”. 😆

Are you actually reading the articles?

But Whitty said it was unhelpful to speculate on numbers without strong evidence. He said the fourth strand of the UK coronavirus plan was mitigation, and ensuring the NHS was able to cope.

“The best estimate for the number of people dying at the top end of the range is about 2%; in my view it could be considerably less than that, but we have to prepare for the worst,” he said. It was wrong to speculate on any potential death toll figures, he said. “It is a mistake to use numbers which are entirely speculative … At the moment the numbers we are seeing out of China are so variable that it is really difficult to put a fixed figure.”

Bit different from your 19% everyone's going to die position.
