    on the basis that you tested positive before getting run over by the tank, then I think so...

    Depends if the slow painful death takes more than 28 days, I suppose.

    He might be grumpy because he's self isolating?

    Haven't been following those thread.

    Things seem to have escalated somewhat

    Meh. There are a ‘core’ of about 6 posters who’s bollocks don’t match their bluster. If they actually carried on in the real world like that, I doubt they’d have reached puberty. I know there are some decent types on here, but they’re not the vocalists. It’s the ‘tree house mafia’ I wish painful death on, not the others:
    You're not going to name names then?

    Although there's not a conspicuous correlation between low mood and homophobia that I'm aware of....

    Dunno. There are a couple of homophobes on here that don't appear to be happy.
    I'd tell them to man up but apparently that is not the best approach.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    If one's to believe the Graun, things not going well in Italy...

    Italy has reported 143,898 Covid-related deaths today, compared with 155,697 the day before, the health ministry said.

    No, they used the wrong word. Kinda basic journalism. They meant cases.

    Even if France has just passed its peak, with the Paris region's numbers declining, parts of the rest are still increasing - Haute Loire looks impressive at over 4700/100k.

    UK figures look to have had quite a bump in the regions, but maybe heading down a bit now. From the low number in UK ICUs presently, I guess that the numbers of deaths is going to continue to drop. Good news. Though France's hospitalised numbers are still climbing... not good news.

    Chatted with a friend about it yesterday - her family is in the western end of the Loire. She said pretty much everyone she knows in that part of France either has Covid at the moment or has had it in January.

    Interesting why it has spread in France quite so spectacularly, even in comparison to the UK. Oh well, good news once it drops off, as long as the hospitals don't get overwhelmed.

    The idiocy of the “people who were for lockdowns as a public health policy are now not so they’re hypocrites” argument is really quite remarkable.

    You spend a fair bit of time over there Brian - any thoughts on why the high infection levels?
