South Korea are doing well by all accounts. Below is from WP published a few hours ago:

919 dead in Italy in last 24 hours, a record day.

At least the population explosion can take a pause while he's self isolating, so there's that.

US have had more cases than China now but less deaths.

If I ever fell seriously ill with coronavirus I hope I never end up on a Dyson ventilator, if his lousy vacuum cleaners are anything to go by - over designed, over priced pieces of shit. Hypocrite in chief James Dyson preached Brexit to our nation and ... more »

Yep death rate is up but infection rate on a downward trend.

The problem with mass speculative testing is that all the negative results are only good for that moment. What about the next day and the days/weeks & months after that? Additionally the current tests are labour and equipment intensive, using up ... more »

All restaurants and pubs ordered to close in UK now. Boris is going to subsidise 80% of affected workers salaries up to £2.5k a month if the businesses keep them on the payroll and pay the other 20%.

Yep and it looked great before my mate (sitting on it) put a dent in it that very day when he dropped it onto a tree stump. I was well pissed!

This was taken in around 1975. My first 'dirt' bike was the DT175 and my buddy had the TS250.

Yep Italy now overtakes China for the total death count. Scary.

A little tip I thought I'd pass on. We're repeatedly told that you should use hand sanitizer especially when in the grocery store, public places etc. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/infection-control/hcp-hand-sanitizer.html Thing is it's very ... more »
