I would be extremely sceptical of videos of people claiming to be nurses and that there's actually 90,000 infected. If it sounds ludricous, treat it as such until there's supporting evidence from elsewhere.

So either this is in contravention (only seems to be 1 on the floor plan) or building regs dumbed down. Those rules don't apply when you're converting offices into housing, thanks to some changes the Tories made in 2011.

There's people who have been walking around for up to two weeks, completely asymptomatic, and spreading it. And the people they spread it to can do likewise. Not that this proves anything but I wouldn't be surprised if the number of cases starts skyrocketing.

If I had to be charitable, I'd guess that was the footage they used for yesterday's story about LeBron passing him on the all time points total and someone who doesn't know basketball misunderstood which one of them was which.

At least this mistake you could feasibly put down to one idiot in an editing suite on a deadline (and presumably one or two superiors who saw the footage before air), rather than a state controlled propoganda machine.

"I'm Bioware and I made the same fuckin' game for the hundredth time but this time it's wearing Star Wars trousers, send cash and prizes" To be fair by that point they'd only made that game two or three times. My main issue with that game is that the first major planet is really dull and you're there for approximately 30 hours before the story can start.

The least annoying one was fallout where only 80% of people picked up the pipe rifle, went into a cave and got swarmed by 10000 geckos. Rip. Edit: I think I might be thinking of fallout 2 here. I can’t actually remember fallout 1 past getting sent after the water chip.

Yes? Xinjiang's 3000 kilometers from the epicenter of the epidemic and they're locking down entire provinces to stop it from spreading. The virus isn't getting there without the rest of the country getting hit as well. They might very well fail to contain it and it might very well get into the camps, mind. That would indeed be terrible.

This is your brain on electoral politics. The Labour Party base is going to move in two ways - the right wing and those stuck in an electoral mindset stay in the party and either move to the right because they're are right wing or "Corbyn promised too much!" or believe electoralism is the best way still and so the internal factionalism continues until one side is completely cowed or driven out while the radical members just pack it in and go and do other things against the Tories and capitalism.

If it sounds ludricous, treat it as such until there's supporting evidence from elsewhere. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2020/jan/26/coronavirus-could-infect-100000-globally-experts-warn Short version is China dropped the ball badly in the early stage response, likely due to a local gov desire to cover up whatever shady buisness was going on. The incubation period is unknown but could be up to two weeks and crucially people are infectious before they display symptoms. The high end estimates like 100k infected are worst case estimates and not particularly likely imo but this is going to get much much worse before it gets better. nCoV is going to be bad but it's still too early and too little is known about the virus to really understand how bad. Our one saving grace in this case is that the reproductive rate of the virus seems to be relatively low, around R1.4 - R2.5 which means it's not incredibly easy to spread around and the mortality rate is something like 4% and focused on the already vulnerable. [e] Got the R rate wrong, WHO updated today with an even lower number. Saros fucked around with this message at 10:45 on Jan 27, 2020 |

Even then the idea that you're going to defeat capitalism without engaging with the way it controls the country seems iffy. Unless you've got the instant revolution button lying around, you are, ultimately, looking to build support for an electoral victory. And if you're doing that you might as well be a member of the labour party.
