Oh dear, I would add 2 weeks onto your holiday for the isolation ward when you get back. Just my luck I will be stuck in the same room as Wisbech Eagle.

I'm off to Singapore and Indonesia in about 5 weeks time. I'm not bothered about the virus it is more likely that airlines or governments will stop me from travelling. Still I hope by then it has quieten down a bit. Perhaps instead of shaking hands on any deals you'll tip your hat.

Youtube is full of videos of Chinese police welding doors shut to apartment blocks to stop people actually getting out of buildings, there are videos of snatch teams grabbing anyone off the street who so much has a temperature & condemning them to these emergency hospitals almost guaranteeing infection (if you didnt have it already) What I cant work out is if this is the just the Chinese goverment being their usual evil c***ish self or if this is considerably alot worse than they're letting on. Ive seen videos of the Chinese officials digging big holes just to bundle bodies into... Not much we can do about it now except celebrate diversity..
The mountains are calling & I must go. |

Are you sure they're not just welding the doors shut as it's Barrymore's New Year's party season? That, in fact, could explain much of this behaviour.

I am a bit of geek when it comes to Pandemic stuff so have been following this for a while. And whilst there is a lot of hype and hysteria around it, it does represent a manifestation of a threat that many people have warned about for a while now. In terms of the disease itself, then I am not so sure this is the one that will herald the EOTWAWKI event some are claiming primarily because it kills in a pretty conventional way i.e the elderly or those with an unlying chronic condition in the first place. Unlike the Spanish Flu which disproportionately impacted on the young and fit (All about your cytokine storms if you are sad enough to want to research the 'why'). If the figures I trust are proven correct then it is about 2-3% fatality rate. The only outlier that scares me is that there are indications that up to 50% of people infected might be asymptomatic or suffer such mild symptoms that they do not isolate. And these can go on and infect others who might not get off so lightly. A good example of how this works is in terms of chickenpox and why it does not go away. Plenty of people out there claiming to have never had it but not only did but also infected a lot of others at the same time. The fact that air travel is being restricted tells you how seriously this is being taken but the reality is that they cannot stop the spread. The Genie is out of the bottle. It will take a vaccine to stop it and I reckon they will have that within a year. Or, as soon as those who created the virus release it! Is that too conspiracy theoryesque?

Seems like the establishment are choosing an easier option of appearing tough on crime by deporting a handful of people from a slightly less "problematic" demographic. What do you think would happen if they tried to deport the 600 or so Jihadis we are actively having to monitor at huge expense to the taxpayer? Then there are obviously the grooming gang members.

Surely the Police would ring to 'check their thinking' even for the suggestion. All that increased security spending is just the price you pay for celebrating diversity. The state don't deliberately lie to you unless they have to.....they much prefer just keeping quiet about what isn't convenient.
