.. if they want social distancing to work they need to extend not reduce opening times. Absolutely right !! This simple truth was not only predictable, but has been all too evident since shop opening hours were reduced. I remain convinced that the Government's so-called containment measures for supposedly slowing down the spread of the Covid-19 virus are more about finding out just how meekly receptive the public has become to regimentation and curfew. yeah, yeah, yeah ...................... boring

China Helped Put This Man In Charge Of the World Health Organization—Is It Paying Off? World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus won his post after China backed him in the May 2017 election. Now, Tedros is leading the WHO, an arm of the United Nations, in providing cover for China’s oppressive regime as it attempts to shirk responsibility for the global coronavirus pandemic. Despite all evidence to the contrary, Chinese authorities are weaving a false counternarrative in which China was actually the victim of a foreign virus that it quickly moved to contain. And the WHO is helping them do it. Tedros has praised China’s “transparency” and held up the country as a model response — even though the communist regime covered and then concealed the severity of the outbreak. Chinese authorities forced scientists who discovered the virus in December to destroy proof of the virus, U.K. newspaper The Sunday Times reported. The Chinese regime also punished doctors who tried to warn the public in the outbreak’s early stages and suppressed information about the virus online. A Chinese real estate mogul who criticized his government’s response has since gone missing. nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/china-helped-put-man-charge-world-health-organization%E2%80%94-it-paying-136002makes a change from the daily fail, but apart from that prob'ly not a lot to commend it as useful reading and a reliable sauce - I prefer Daddies.

20 flights arrived yesterday into London from NY. ▪️There was no social distancing on the plane ▪️No checks when they arrived. ▪️these passengers dispersed, many to the Tube. Meanwhile police drones threaten sole walkers in the Peak District. Utter nonsense. the muppet said that there is no danger in New York. I was looking at The New York Times this morning. I think you have to read a lot to get a general idea of what's going on. It's just so farcical with dog walkers in the middle of nowhere being hassled by the Police with their little toy drones, yet thousands are crammed into trains going in and out of the big cities. Nothing new for me personally - still off work and getting paid to stay at home. With my bus being off the road that's saved 560 litres of diesel going up into the atmosphere so far (70 litres/day x 8 days). As it is a nice sunny day (although bitterly cold) we are off later to see if we can get some more sunset timelapse videos - this time to the harbour at Rahja; looking at maps it looks like it will be in direct line-of-sight for the setting sun. (I am also working my way through a long video explaining why it is believed this virus to be a bio-weapon deliberately spread by the Communist Chinese government/dictators/mafia. If it was deliberately spread then this will have been the most aggressive act of war against anyone in the history of the world. True or not? You decide!)

The article is 11 days old which is a long time in this case.

So it is, but it is well written and informative and a little easier for the layman to understand what has happened or should happen... I think it also highlights the fact that the UK are still not doing enough.

98 octane was over 1.60 Euros/litre three weeks ago.

Remember - you can't trust the British newspapers as China pays to run a lot of adverts in them - if they say anything nasty about China, China pulls the cash away.

yeah, yeah, yeah ...................... boring Be nice, 'they' really are out to get him... I agree with Tony on lots of things. TBH the navigational channel thing didn't really float my boat but one thing is for certain, this current experience shows how a virus can be used for diversion. With any problem on the same scale as this, there will always be people and groups who will jump on it to suit their agenda.

some people suggest that Dean Koontz predicted the 2019-2020 Coronavirus outbreak in his book published in 1981 “The Eyes of Darkness”, mentioning a virus called “Gorki-400” which was renamed “Wuhan-400” when he released a new edition of the book in 1989.

Be nice, 'they' really are out to get him... this current experience shows how a [crisis] can be used [by] people and groups who will jump on it to suit their agenda. The thing about any durable conspiracy theory is the difficulty of demonstrating its flaws to an unarguable level. For example, the only way to know Neil Armstrong stood on the moon would be to go there and see the footprints for yourself. And even then some twat would say you are lying. Its a bit like saying that someone has invented a deadly new virus when really all along its just the flu. Also most people are not attempting to act as a community to overcome a national emergency, they're just a bunch of daft sheep. Some people would believe anything (except me and my monkey).

I saw that earlier on today. Quite good actually. It's not that recent but did seem to predict what would happen. I'm still going for <9,000 deaths in the UK on this story but not an expert obviously.

The thing is that while impossible to prove most conspiracy theories are in fact technically correct.
