    Quite possibly Chilco. I usually avoid Norton because I was a bit of a party animal for a few years in the mid to late 90s and have...History...all over town
    I've given myself whiplash at times when I've walked around a corner and done a very rapid volte-face in order to avoid an "old friend" :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Scary how easy it is for the government to implement bills that could so easily be used to restrict our freedoms even when there is no crisis.

    My mate runs a small garage and gets full business rates relief. I sent an e mail on his behalf to the local council asking how to access the £10k grant. Received a reply which I will précis : " we've not got the foggiest."

    And you're pretty well out of time. Assuming the growth rate is N^1.27 (equaling 27% daily increase), which is a fairly conservative estimate based on the delta in other countries, the UK will be at 14,330 cases in 7 days, and without aggressive measures to combat the spread, would be at 76,356 cases in 14 days.

    By the time Italy was where you are, they had declared it an all-hands-on-deck crisis. If the UK government doesn't take the most drastic action possible right the **** now, the impact will exceed that in Italy/Spain in very short order.

    I live about five miles from Southwold on the Suffolk coast. It's virtually all second homes for people from London and the Home Counties. This week they have all descended on the town, most are 60+ and restaurants and pubs are rammed . There is going to be a major outbreak there.

    The worst part, the very worst part.. is that I work in hospitals every day, so I can see that they are still in the same state of denial, trusting the government.

    I really, really hope I'm wrong. But I feel like I'm watching a car crash in slow motion.

    I think it is going to be ****ing horrendous here and in the US

    It's also probably far worse than my numbers. It's estimated that the actual number of cases is 5-10x higher, and I've seen suggestions up to 20x. Move the decimal place over and you're talking about over three-quarters of a million infected people within two weeks.

    That old line about compound interest being the most powerful force in the universe? It's because compound interest is exponential growth. Only 27% a year would be considered illegal loan-sharking; we're doing 27% a day.

    my company has a factory in Bergamo. They’ve called in the army to help move bodies from the crematorium because they can’t keep up with disposal of them. The army had 30 trucks taking bodies to other towns’ crematoriums. It’s awful. 316 died there wednesday. Nearly 2000 so far. Just that area.
