Ladbrokes have this market on the name of the baby Carrie Symonds will give birth to later this year and quite frankly this seems like a brilliant way to contribute to the Christmas bonus fund for Ladbrokes politics team.

Switzerland: A person being treated in hospital in Liestal for the disease has died, taking the national death toll to two. The country has 281 confirmed infections
Singapore: Twelve new cases have been confirmed taking the total to 150. So far Singapore has not reported any deaths from the virus
Belgium: Another 31 cases were reported on Sunday taking the national total to 200.
e.g by the sounds of it one of the UK deaths could easily have been claimed to have been not due to Coronavirus, due to basically being a very sick individual who had been in and out of hospital numerous times recently.
If he wants his lad to grow up with a voice like Brian.
Stage 2 - Delay
Realistically many of the things required for delay are the same things as required for containment so there may not be much noticeably different for a while.

Medical services director Kenneth Mak, who was also at Friday's briefing, said Singapore was "fortunate" that a number of those hospitalised were only mildly symptomatic and patients had been kept in the hospitals for long periods to ensure they are free of the virus before being discharged.
And looks like they are throwing the kitchen sink at them...
He told the briefing: "There are some individuals in the ICU who are ill, (they) all require oxygen support, which for a large part involves the use of a ventilator. A number of these individuals have received other treatments, including the use of antiviral medications."
One of the big winners from a widespread pandemic like this if it escalates will be the pensions industry. In fact, the conspiracy theory writes itself. A great plot for a thriller writer, if anybody knows one of those.
But he may have lost count and Sixtus is already taken.
That, or Liz gets put in the freezer until the world can properly pay its respects.
There is already Lettice [sic] and Peaches. Milo of course is a powdered chocolate and malt drink.
Maybe he could name the next child after a Christmas movie and pizza topping and have Bruce Pineapple Johnson?

What's more important to look for is any sign that Italy have done so, after initially letting it get away from them. Or indeed any other European country where we are now seeing large growths in cases - e.g. Germany, France, Spain.
Then we would mostly be left to worry about Iran, the US, Egypt and possibly somewhere new.
Tracing down the cult will have helped *massively* contain the spread of the virus, but it's too soon to be overly optimistic.

Bit of a coincidence, no?

An air strike in Somalia has killed a senior commander of militant Islamist group al-Shabab, state radio reports.

Its a remarkable achievement given the behaviour of that loony church which put them so far behind the 8 ball in the first place and it is evidence that this virus can be beaten without welding people into houses.
The exponential models' biggest flaw is that they assume no change in behaviour. That is the assumption that must be undermined.
As the numbers continue to grow we are moving from a phase of containment, where we hoped we could stop the outbreak completely, to one of delay. This means all our efforts are aimed at slowing the outbreak down.
Ultimately perhaps 50 to 80% of the population may get infected with this virus. Currently about 5% of patients are needing hospitalisation. If all these people become infected in a short time window, eg a few weeks, then we will have a very large number who need to go to hospital all at the same time. And the health services will really struggle.
However, If we can spread the outbreak over many months, the health services will be able to cope better with the same number of patients, because not everyone will need to care at the same time.

Lets hope it isn't 80 or even 50%. 5% in hospital is half of China.
None in Cannock yet that I know of.
O/T - TSE, oh my goodness. That pun may have seemed godlike to you but it is no Zeus at all to me.
If Andrew became the anointed one, I suspect he would suffer a mysterious nasty accident. Or perhaps, like Epstein, he would decide life was no longer worth living.

This guy got it in Italy, other than that has been alone with his wife for the entire time after flying back and she has provided all his care, and despite that, she doesn't have it.
We need to know if these new cases are forming clusters or can be traced to known cases in other ways (such as imports from Italy) to understand if we have moved out of the initial containment stage.
If they are clusters, we are sampling contacts of cases sufficiently and understanding the outbreak dynamics. If they are apparently randomly distributed, then we know there are more cases than are being reported and we can expect rapid increases in numbers over the coming days and weeks.
BTW, spoke to my brother today - he's senior in the NHS - and he told me that the tests for the virus are taking 5 days to process and generate a result. Therefore the figures for confirmed cases in the UK are well in arrears. There will be many more positives than have yet been reported.
As far as I can tell there are three things that lead to epidemic management success:
1. Test early and often. South Korea, which is testing at ten times the rate we are, is the poster child here.
2. Keep those that are infected well away from those are not. Self isolation doesn't fully work if you pass the virus onto your family members.
3. Look after your healthcare workers. They are holding it all together.
Put together these things should result in a better chance of survival, hopefully without needing to shut down the country.

Orf with your head.
Although Westchester County now has the biggest outbreak in the US, at 83 cases, there was no, repeat NO, signs of panic buying of toilet paper at the C-Town supermarket in Tarrytown today: in fact it looks like the store got extra deliveries in in anticipation of higher demand and is struggling to find space to put them.
That is all.
On that note, how many French fans are watching their team’s annihilation by Scotland ?
See you on the other side
Shouting, screaming, children crying, people pushing and shoving, shelves stripped bare...
Typical for a Sunday afternoon in East Ham High Street.
You spread it with butter and eat it raw.
