We should all take every article with a huge pinch of salt....it was only a month or so ago that media were reporting that more men in China were dying of Corona-virus because so many of the male population smoke there. The issue is no-one really knows much about what works, or doesn't work, with this virus.


Also there is a lot of noise about flights still coming in but only about 10% of flights are still running, most are desolate, many are carrying nothing but cargo (they are covering the seats with netting to load cargo instead of passengers) and some are re-repatriation flights (we saw a plane heading over East Dulwich towards Heathrow a week or so ago which was, I think, Trident Airlines - not an airline anyone would have heard of before it had been chartered to bring people back from Florida).


One thing to say about Trump is that his nightly press conferences, which have become must-watch in our house, are pure comedy gold; it's by far the most entertaining thing on TV (just a shame the subject matter is so serious)...last night's entry to which The Standard's article refers should have been entitled When Science and a Deluded Narcissist Collide.

Unfortunately the more secrecy the more people will believe in conspiracy theories.


We're slamming China for initial secrecy but then suddenly our government goes quiet - I can see why that makes suspicious people wonder.

    • They'd been there for days but I hadn't tied them to this thread. Nice work, it was bugging me!
    • Off topic, but when I was a kid in Streatham, long ago, apart from the milkman (rarely if ever milkwoman),  who also delivered yoghurt - very exotic - in little glass jars, we also had regular deliveries of coal, bread and cheesecakes (not the kind we know now, they had coconut on top), fruit and veg,  and paraffin (both pink and blue). I'm not entirely sure we have lost "something amazing" by buying milk in shops. The glass bottles were left on the doorstep and the metallic tops were pecked through by birds getting at the cream/milk. Or else the bottles were nicked.  And then there was the rag and bone man.... bell and horse and cart, just like Steptoe. God I'm old. We didn't have supermarket deliveries. We didn't have supermarkets. I remember the first supermarket opening in Streatham. It  was quite amazing having to walk round and  put your own shopping in a basket. As you were ..... Sorry OP and admin.
    • Yep, I hear you. Been waiting for modern milkman to these parts and plan to try them out. I still remember Dennis, our Egg-man, from my childhood, who used to deliver dozens in his Citroen 2C and came to collect the boxes the following week. Happy Days. 
    • I always feel we lost something amazing when we moved away from home milk delivery with glass bottles using electric floats to driving to supermarkets and buying milk in plastic bottles. Hindsight says we should have valued the good old milky more
