Punshhh

Agreed

Yes, although it is not enforced and a bit vague. I am pointing to London as a hotspot, it is still spreading freely, on the Underground, in shops, pe...

I think the figure of 600,000 is an underestimate, because we don't yet know what the mortality rate would be were the virus to become concentrated in...

I'm not sure how your response relates to anything I've said. I'm not taking a position on whether some countries are or aren't over reacting. I'm jus...

The predicted spike in London is showing now with a rapid increase in confirmed cases and hospital admissions. And yet, the underground (metro) had pa...

Brilliant, the best cartoon I've seen in a while.

I think that the conversation moved on from here overnight. I can't think of another social scourge which has an equivalence to the pandemic. Simply b...

Good on them, I almost moved there a couple of years ago, love the place. I just couldn't get used to all the rugby and beer, no antiques and the lack...

Also, their people are sensible and do the right thing when asked. But I doubt they have in anyway defeated the virus, only managed to control it. Let...

Yes, except they didn't say only if your work is essential. But only if the nature of your work means you can't work at home. Yes, bring back the pror...

To each other. What they could do is right down their debts and see how many noughts there are and then agree to cross off some of those noughts. Prob...

The main difference is that governments think that they have to act immediately and comprehensively to respond to this threat. If climate change was g...

This is rather tedious.

Yes, its similar in the UK too, I don't know if the figures used in the graph are estimates, or confirmed cases.

I do know who has lost their livelihoods, I have been listening to talk radio, and have heard it directly from them.

The poor are the folk who have just lost their livelihood. The other points are not worth playing ping pong with right now.

https://i.ibb.co/7Czvps6/IMG-9066.jpg I'm surprised that the Iranian curve is not steeper than this, I wonder how much testing is going on there, or i...

But your point about Chinese crap is one of those slogans. The poor require a basic income to survive. By right wing, I mean countries where there is ...

Better to give it to the rip off merchants and billionaires instead. The poor can't be trusted with money, they just waste it, by spending it in the r...

Well said, its only a problem in the right wing countries. Most European countries are better than that. The UK is somewhere in between, they have ple...

The politicians are headless chickens following what their experts tell them. There are teams of experts assembled in each (wealthy) country to manage...

Yes, like Boris's idea to shut the schools and restaurants on the same day, when the shops already had empty shelves. Such a stable genius.

We were discussing the situation in the UK, not the US. Get a grip.

Hopefully the number of people recovering will out number the number of new cases, but I doubt the number of new cases will stop. It would require eve...

There is a food crisis in the UK today, the PM announced yesterday that all pubs, restaurants, cafes, etc must close Friday night. Also the schools cl...

Fake news.

Yes hopefully this is true, but it's not that simple because the virus might go into out of the way parts of the body of some people and become dorman...

You can do all the exercises at home anyway. With a bicycle inner tube, a door frame and a hammer.

I am already thinking of a cartoon in which Cummings is a corona virus.

Yes, everybody knows it will have to spread through the population. But if the UK government wanted it to happen in slow motion, they would lock down ...

It tickled me.

I dont think folk here are uncalm. Or do you mean they are exaggerating? In the UK, London is the hotspot, the Prime minister has instructed Londoners...

Yes, it's divide and rule. Blame someone else and then claim the credit for calling them out. Whenever the shit hits the fan, it's all their fault, I'...

It will have to be stretched until the pips squeak before anything will change. In theory political changes would be able to turn society away from ra...

This is the herding instinct https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tkVAUGaEcfA

I've just watched the BBC documentary on Dominic Cummings. He must feel like the most unlucky person in British politics, just as he managed to get in...

In the UK schools are closed now until further notice, as the government faces a rapid increase in infection, ove the next two weeks. These will be pe...

I expect he was thinking of Total Recall.

Yes in the UK there is talk of universal income. It will be the easiest way to help people, as it is becoming evident that what ever funding methods t...

Which country are you in? You should get financial support from your government and for your company. Peculiarly I am going to be ok, I have just secu...

I've already found the way it will be referred to. Before Corona, BC. After Corona, AC.

I keep hearing doctors saying that Ibuprofen shouldn't be a problem because it is a mild anti inflammatory and doesn't suppress the immune system. But...

Interesting, I have been having this kind of dream (not the same subject, but a similar theme) for months now. In my dream death was about 5ft high, a...

How is the pandemic perceived in Russia? Somehow, I doubt the Russians will deport you and they can't really accuse you of intending to stay beyond yo...

Which way, discriminatory against women, or men? I realised that when I was typing, for for artistic effect I decided to go with he.

Yes, that's what happened. I do need to qualify this, it was a dream, so imaginary, also I can't be entirely sure that it was death who walked in, but...

These figures don't show the true figure, firstly some of the infected people who are going to die, haven't died yet, they're still in life support. S...

It's not lethal to the human species, it will just clear out some of the dead wood. Wheather it is civilised is another question.

Sepia and puce. In a dream lastnight, death walked into the room, as I was staring to see him, the lights were extinguished. In the total darkness I f...

It's difficult to avoid the smell, but I would probably use khaki, or Olive green. Whereas for the smell, it would be a rainbow palette.
