He had symptoms AND was in parliament yesterday, what a fucking moron. Patel is next to get it
This thing is extremely contagious. They're all going to get ill.He had symptoms AND was in parliament yesterday, what a fucking moron. Patel is next to get it
This is precisely what's so damn terrifying about it. Holy fuck.
The ease with which it spreads. It's just unreal. I've been fighting against health anxiety for 20 years - severe - and this has made it so bad.
They have to test the accuracy of them first. Spain have just pulled all of them because there was only a 30% accuracy rate
Coronavirus test kits withdrawn in Spain over poor accuracy rate
Batch with only 30% detection rate was bought by health officials from Chinese supplier

Yep, Landlords gonna see the £ signs. Dreaming of a second mercedes.
That depends on a lot of things.
The way to think about inflation is this: if you have more money chasing the same amount of stuff, you'll get inflation. You can see this happen in a lot of places; the one that always springs to mind for me is Somalia. When pirates started hijacking cargo ships and getting bounties for hundreds of thousands of dollars paid, the prices for local food and other supplies went through the roof. So, same amount of stuff with more money means inflation.
You can also see this in some rental markets like SF or London. SF is a prime example: they have restrictive planning laws so housing supply is short. Lots of techbro millionaires come flooding in and prices go through the roof.
However, if someone gets more money and they are able to buy things they otherwise wouldn't, there's no inflation. Instead that's just a straight increase in consumption. For most people on low incomes, they have lots of unmet needs that they would spend that money on. So, you can see how in reality you get both real growth and inflation when people have more money in their pocket.
So, to answer your question, the answer is maybe. In places like London where the rental market is broken, then yes there's a good chance that any extra money would just get eaten up by landlords. They would know everyone has got more money and just put the prices up. This is one of the big problems with UBI: it's not a solution by itself. In the USA, there's a good chance that any UBI would also get eaten up by health insurance premiums.
UBI is only part of the solution. What's also needed is for things where supply is constrained and demand is inelastic - such as housing and healthcare - to either be regulated, or decommodified and provided on the basis of need. That's the only way to ensure that UBI is spent on real need and not just subsidising rent seeking behaviour.
Looks like we're on track to go over 1000 in the next couple of days, perhaps even tomorrow.
UK deaths up to 759, up almost 200 from yesterday.
Yesterday was 578, up over 100 from the day before.
Anyone who thought this was slowing down after that blip where we only had 40 or so due to them rejigging the figures couldn't have been more wrong.
Bolsanaro had it. Others probably have too, testing is too slap dash to know.

If there's such a thing as an "evergreen political cartoon", this is it.
In the meantime, we've got the pleasure of watching Gove doing the afternoon briefings.

Wouldn't this also be from the numbers being rejigged a smaller day then a bigger day today? So next couple of days with just full days reporting we will start to know if quarantine is starting to work.
If I was PM I'd let him do it with the last two panels being the end goal
I think this is the first full day's figures, from 5pm on Wednesday until 5pm yesterday.
It is a big jump, definitely.
Largest clusters are London and the West Midlands. I've been anticipating a military enforced lockdown for a couple of weeks.
The UK now facing the consequences of not locking down a week earlier than actually did.
It's weird seeing cities mostly empty

Be interesting to see next weeks numbers - we all expected it to rise significantly as we've only really been locked down for this week.
Won't know the impact really until next week.

As I understand it, that's already happened - it's why we went from around 80-90 to around 40, then jumped back up over 100 yesterday. If it's closing in on 200 today, this looks like being when things really start to accelerate. I wouldn't be surprised with figures around 225-250 tomorrow, climbing the hundreds over the next week.
So I mentioned in another thread that my grandfather, and possibly my grandmother and me having COVID-19.
Today my Grandfather took a turn for the worst, he hasn't died, but Doctors said he is critical... And he can't be moved out of his psych-ward because there isn't space, and he isn't in need of a ventilator.
But with his underlying conditions, it's looking bad.
I hope my Grandma doesn't have it either - having both of my adoptive parents die from this would be beyond shit.
Edit: To clarify, me, my partner and Grandma "may" have it as she'd have got it from him, and me from her.
We're not sure when he caught it, he was diagnosed on Wednesday with it, and today seems quite fatigued.
I don't know much else, but I will call the hospital later and clear up everything.

That sucks. Hope it gets better for you all. A horrible situation.
If all we're testing is people admitted to hospital then this will climb well above 5%. When it does people need to not be alarmed by it as it's a side effect of the limited group we're testing.
Also, people need to stop wondering if numbers announced have any connection to a lockdown. You won't see any effects of that for 2-3 weeks and in the meantime numbers will continue to climb.
Patrick Vallance was on the radio this morning and said he expects to see the numbers continue to rise for the next 2 to 3 weeks, and after that we'll see if the lockdown is working or not.
So, that protective eyewear for NHS staff that we've been scrambling to find...

I think we all kind of figured this would be the case when, over the past week or so, Jeremy Hunt has been on a non-stop spree of criticising everybody else's handling of this (not least of all that of his own government). He was just trying to make sure the blame was sufficiently diffuse before the reckless actions when he was in charge became known.
Yeah, I don't know why he's been so desperate to comment when NHS staff have been saying for years that the system was on it's knees before he started taking an axe to it.
Government comms have been shit. Can't pin this on people when the messaging has been so confusing up until now.
Chris Whitty is now self-isolating - just reported on BBC News.
