As it happens, I've booked a cruise - the prices were slashed and I imagine it will be much less busy than normal.

Australia had a serious outbreak of panic buying toilet roll. People were buying literally dozens of rolls, trolleys full. I mean, tissues I could kind of understand but bog roll? WTF?

They have dock leaves there too  Huh?

My best mate was hanging out with his mate from Australia and dropped her off at the airport on Saturday.

She's just tested positive for Coronavirus and he has to be quarantined for two weeks. Hope he doesn't have it as I was at the Scunny game with him on Tuesday!

It shocks me how many men don't wash their hands after using public urinals and very often after taking a dump - just straight out the door afterwards. Filthy animals.

No, it doesn't survive on surfaces for more than a few days, if that.

Less amusinlgy there's already been racist attacks as a result of the virus. Or using the virus as an excuse, might be more accurate

I witnessed a black guy deliberately bump into a Chinese guy today. When the Chinese guy asked what the problem was, he was told to " Fuck off you coronavirus shit" The human race is fantastic.

I think I was definitely in the minority in washing my hands when I left the delightful toilets in the Townend on Tuesday

WHO has revised the mortality rate to 3.4%.
To be clear, that is a mortality rate for reported cases. Which is, obviously, accurate for what it is, but can give rise to some misleadingly alarming headlines about how deadly it actually is. Without wanting to do a Trump, it's likely the mortality rate for all cases is significantly lower as there will be many thousands of undeclared and undetected cases that do not result in death

Thanks Paul, I think we are all aware of that. *

The point is that it still appears to be killing more people than previously thought.

*That was a bit more 'bitey' than was intended, but the 'akshuallys' on social media in general recently have been grating a tad.
