The sort of behaviour you'd expect from someone who goes out in public wearing tracky bottoms and beaten-up trainers.

Is that a loaf of bread in he's left hand? Missed opportunity if so.

Might not have to play 10 handed at WSOP this summer.

Might not be a WSOP this year  Cool

If there’s no WSOP, then we’ve got more to worry about than no Poker 😂

Now 6 deaths in Washington.  https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2020/03/02/coronavirus-live-updates/ That proves it has been spreading for a lot longer in the USA than we knew about.   Financial markets wont like that imo when they catch up with it shortly, they boomed up today over there.

I have no idea on this one.   

It seems certain that it is going to get much bigger, but by then won't we all have given up and just run it anyway?  Given the spread it looks like everybody else is grasping.   Pretty surprised they have taken 5k in bets with that spread; it is like the old days of flutter.com.

Most of the bets placed so far seem more like hopeful punts rather than value spots

For those thinking of betting; it seems they are actively considering postponing.  Hence that sould be factored in.

UK cases up 34 in a day to a total of 85.  That really is explosive growth like other countries with similar climates are experiencing.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-51741001?

I couldn't give a toss about if I personally get it or not, although I don't want to spread it to anyone...but the NHS is going to be crippled by this.

It's not about any stupid bet, the competent thing would be to try and slow the spread right now and get it to hotter temperatures with as low an amount of cases as we can.

Realistically its not possible though is it? What ever you do, it only takes one person to start it all off again?

There is something really strange about the numbers in China now, they seem to have it under control, yet the majority of areas are back at work.
Surely it only takes one person in one of those areas to start the chain reaction again?

What am I missing?

China completely shut down cities (you don't shut down cities and kill your economy for the flu).  That is what it took to get it under control there.  No way people in this country would stand for that.  Even still the spread can still be slowed with containment measures.  Large gatherings, schools, public transport whatever can be curtailed.   Even the fit and healthy catching it is a nightmare as they have to stay off work and they spread it around until they realise.  The more containment you do the slower it spreads.  China shows what can be done at the maximum level.  Italy is shutting down specific areas now also.  A lot can change if we create time, not only could summer give a respite but vaccines or treatments could be given time to arrive.

The problem is the hospitilsation rate of this thing.  China data said 17% hospitalised but they have a lot of smokers and dodgy numbers.  Even if it is only 10% hospital rates here we are absolutely crippled with any significant amount of cases.

The NHS have 5900 critical care beds for the entire country https://www.kingsfund.org.uk/publications/nhs-hospital-bed-numbers.   The Guardian suggested yesterday if the police end up with lots off work sick they won't investigate even murders.
