[Bobbisox1]

Yes retro, it’s on our local news bulletins , they are in Newcastle’s Royal Victoria Infirmary

[retrocop]

I saw that Bobbi. I wasn't sure if it had been confirmed they had travelled from China recently. Someone asked earlier.

I see the 4Ds are out in force again. Oh well, it's a useful scapegoat now they've lost the EU.

[retrocop]

4Ds ?

[Bobbisox1]

Yes, they’d travelled there from China , probably for the Chinese New Year and were in a hotel in the centre of York

// The Devil, the doctor is a GP, the professor is an expert on viral disease's, you cannot compare the two.//
but not an expert on grammar - needs an orxford comma methinks

"the debbeel the doctor is a GP" cd be construed as the devil is MB BS - the AB being a pantomime most of the time - oh no he isnt !
see the prostate thread for confirmation

arrowe park is an area of contrasts - some setting burning crosses on the lawn and others bringing in burnt meals....

the fatality ratio ( a guesstimate according to the Beeb journo) is around 2% and always overestimates the death ratio - as bodies are harder to conceal than numbers of cases
Historically - spanish flu 1918 was meant to have a fatality ratio of 2% which seems terribly low to me - but they dont know how ,amy cases there were . and I suppose the difference is - - that everyone got it
