My local council has tow coming up in the next few weeks.

Tbf to Trump, he has a point - as of yesterday it was 5.6% in the USA.
I'm going to have to reorder my shelves soon to make space for the Lancaster and York book I'm reading currently.
I wonder if Bernie will look back and think, if only I'd backed her rather than running myself.
Also, how many of the 102 surviving diagnosed cases in the USA may yet succumb?

I feel concerned for the 2% who don't know if they organise their books by any system or not.
I predict the British public will go from not giving a toss to mad panic within a couple of days.
Please just wash your hands and stop getting on public transport coughing and spluttering. That would be a start.

17 were diagnosed who had recently travelled from recognised countries or from recognised clusters which were under investigation. Eight patients were identified in the UK where it is not yet clear whether they contracted it directly or indirectly from an individual who had recently returned from abroad. This is being investigated and contact tracing has begun.

So still at the phase when the vast majority of people are those that have flown back from Italy, China, Iran.
What about if you have flu like symptoms and have just got back from Italy?
It's deliciously subversive and, per contra, tends to draw fingers clutching for the spines.
My old English teacher taught me that books are for reading, not to look pretty or impressive.
Lipsitch is far from alone in his belief that this virus will continue to spread widely. The emerging consensus among epidemiologists is that the most likely outcome of this outbreak is a new seasonal disease—a fifth “endemic” coronavirus. With the other four, people are not known to develop long-lasting immunity. If this one follows suit, and if the disease continues to be as severe as it is now, “cold and flu season” could become “cold and flu and COVID-19 season.”

The world is about to end.
Mortality in China has now reached one per half million of the population...
Which is why it's stupid to go OTT now.
Not such a clever point after all.
People are always going to be drawn to your James Bond first editions.
"Countries have been planning for scenarios like this for decades. Now is the time to act on those plans."

The problem is not the 1%, it's the 10% who need intensive care. How many of those recover if there is no decent medical care? Who will look after them when they're wheezing and struggling to breathe at home?
And that is very much the risk.
If 1% of people, and those mostly elderly, die of the Coronavirus, then it's not much fun. But the world continues pretty much as it was.
If one in ten people requires intensive care over the course of just three or four months, then that will shake the world.

It's only a few days since Italy only had 1500 cases (it's around double that now) but that's the total for the rest of the EU, with those three countries accounting for two-thirds of them.
What is this word ?
According to the green papers the American Samoa vote was
175 Bloomberg
103 Gabbard
37 Sanders
31 Biden
5 Warren.
Makes the qualifying vote 278.
62.9% Bloomberg
37.1% Gabbard
3.77 Bloomberg Delegates
2.26 Gabbard
Closest rounding is to 4 Bloomberg; 2 Gabbard.
It's not a bad effort considering Bloomberg had 7 paid staffers working the vote for him there. Being a Democratic voter in American Samoa must have been amazing over the last month or so.
The polling evidence is that Warren's support split almost equally between Sanders and Biden/Bloomberg/etc.
If she had quit earlier, then Sanders would have gotten a boost, but so would Biden and Bloomberg.
Sanders may have won more states in that scenario, but it's far from clear that the "left lane" of the Democratic race would end up with more delegates, as her departure would have put Bloomberg over the 15% mark in a bunch of places.
It is an observation that there is a lot of hysteria out there, which is largely not warranted.
Despite the yammerings from eg SeanT's padded cell, it still hasn't actually spread very far and we don't know the outcome.
It really is "take sensible precautions, keep calm and carry on".
It's useful if you're looking into a particular event, as the accounts that deal with it will generally be in books that sit close together.
There will always be a new distraction.
If people die in large numbers he will get some of the blame whatever he tweets.
No testing = no corona virus
