They're the same clots from the bottom of the gene pool that think setting fire to yourself and filming it is a good idea. :rolleyes:

Has anyone found out if the rumour that drinking whiskey daily prevents Coronavirus is true? I am keeping up the experiment in the interests of wider society but want to see if anyone else has heard it?

A further 46 people in England have died after testing positive for coronavirus.

This brings the total number of confirmed reported deaths in England to 303, the NHS says.

We are still 2 weeks behind Italy and and given what is happening there now there is much much worse to come sadly.

I have neither whiskey or brandy but not being one to turn down a task in the interests of science I’ll use rum as a control.

We can compare results.

BREAKING: Daily Downing Street press briefing at 5pm suspended until later. Due to PM attending a Cobra meeting.

Total lockdown is coming is my guess for this sudden meeting.

My sons boss just told him to expect to be at home for 3 months on 80% salary after tonight and definitely from next monday if not today.

Dan Hodges, a journalist for the Mail on Sunday and political pundit, just tweeted following:-

Quote:
The prediction the UK was "2 weeks" from Italy's death rate was 2 weeks ago today. Italy had 463 deaths at that point. We have 335. Appalling figures. But at the moment there's some indication we're trending below Italy. That will change if people don't follow Government advice.
He's bang on.

Not necessarily. It will get worse no doubt, but there is no certainty that we will go the same way as Italy.

Direct country to country comparisons are not accurate

And I think London will be first.
I think that the Prime Minister is afraid of doing it because he fears a backlash at the next General Election, but people are crying out for a lockdown!

I have a recipe for homemade yeast if that's any help for making bread?

Why they are vacillating over this makes no sense at all. The next election is years away, plenty of time to move out of this midden and end up smelling of roses.
