Following last night’s Wisconsin primary the big WH2020 news today has been the widely expected withdrawal from the race by Bernie Sanders. This means that Biden now has a clear run into to what would have been the convention in three and a half months.

Why not vote for the Greater evil?

Firstly, you're not allowed to travel on public transport without face covering.
Secondly, you have hand sanitisers stations everywhere.
Thirdly, you encourage working from home
Fourthly, you don't let people into tube stations (or onto buses) when they're near full
Fifthly, you limit the number of people allowed in stores and bars and restaraunts,
Remember, when this started you'd pass the virus onto 3 people on average. The goal is to minimise the chance that someone has it passes it on to more than one. These measures would dramatically reduce the number of people you're likely to pass the virus on to.
Edit: typo at worldometers?
In fact b-i-l may have to take a pay cut because currently ER usage rates are way down as non-CV patients are steering clear. Whether he'll get a pay rise when the inevitable CV surge hits is unclear.
Just checking on the Yellowperilometer, is that a good or a bad thing?
I would respect those who are in love with the EU if they would at times act as a friend and provide constructive criticism but you do not see it
All being well, I can soon cash the chips in
Out of the field that dropped out Harris and Klobuchar probably have the best chance of getting the running mate position
Final sign off from regulators is imminent.
51, male, multiple marathons... no existing conditions, dead.
Yep.

And we know now that ventilators are a bit of a red herring. Getting people on CPAP seems to give people a much better chance of not having to go on a ventilator (so crucial we have loads of them) and unfortunately for many oldies they won't survive even if they get put on one.
Ultimately, we'll only know in six months time who was right and who was wrong. If we have plenty of ventilators - as seems to be the case - then it will be clear the government was in the right.
On the other hand, if the EU countries are drowning in the things, and we're seeing a lot of excess deaths due to lack of them, then we'll be able to conclude the government made a mistake.
But we have to be realistic, most countries are prioritising their own. We are short of reagents in the UK, because we normally get a lot of them from a German facility (as does most of Europe). I think we can guess where they ensure are adequately supplied first.
It would be shocking poor governance if you let your own people and country go short.
Biden is 1.08 to be Dem nominee, and Trump 1.07 to be GOP pick. Both look generous in normal circumstances but these are not ordinary times. Probably Trump should be shorter than Biden.
For VP, Gretchen Whitmer looks most plausible of the women recently suggested but there is time. I'm sceptical of beaten candidates because it opens the risk of the VP pick having attacked the nominee during the primaries.
The over 70's....if they want to stay alive stay at home....they'll never get insurance to go abroad....and they would be mad to take a trip longer than a walk around the block...
Life has changed for the foreseeable future....maybe the next 10 years or more....
I have this view...not from Eadric.....but from a very good source....
And to add to the agony he does not have covid and cannot understand why his son and daughter wear protective gear when they visit him, and his daughter has only just recovered from covid type symptons
And I agree Tyson this evil virus will not be slain without a vaccine
The unfortunate reality is when you start talking about 10,000s of cases, that is widespread community transmission, and that means lots coming to ICU and nobody has a magic wand. Doesn't matter if it is Italy, France, Spain, UK or Germany, they are basically going to get the same treatment at the moment, and for oldies it isn't very effective.
I can't......
This virus is out and horrible....and kills....and it has probably only worked it's way through 2-5% of the population- and that is optimistic....
How do you expect people who are vulnerable to be able to safely go outside when they can catch something that leads to a terrible, excruciating death a month later?
Tell me how that one works.....
So how long was it going on before US Intelligence put 2 and 2 together to get 4 back then?
We like to latch onto simple easily understood decisions/problems. The ventilator capacity thing is important but not really that important. What we do with the cluster f**k heading our way in terms of jobs, productivity, wealth, financial contagion etc. are far more important. If the world trips over the loan to loan, cross-collateralised assets, alt lending stuff.... it gets really horrible.
Hopefully it won't happen and we can carry on arguing the toss over EU ventilator schemes.
- More from the traditional suppliers
- More of the original designs from new manufacturers
- Novel designs
- From abroad
And until we get a vaccine....anti viral treatments are not great.....
This one is a slow burner that is going to fundamentally change our way of life
Give them the light at the end of the tunnel - 3 months, 6 months or even 9 months and they will probably stick it out. Tell them this is the new norm and they will show you what they think of that.
September?
And when did it first leave China?
It sounded rather concerning. Hope everything is OK.

No idea who your top source is, but that sounds wrong to me.
People knew the PM was struggling....and they couldn't let that be known until they had to...
It will be drips and drabs...we are easing off bit, and this will happen and that will happen..and then we need to tighten a bit, and then....
But...the old and vulnerable...you need to take care of yourselves....and stay in doors
We are possibly between 2-5% of this virus slowly working it's way through the population....
And how many restaurants, bars are economically viable if they can only be 25% occupied at once?
There is some controversy over the merits of intubated ventilation vs CPAP and high flow nasal oxygen. On the one hand the former is more invasive, and more personnel intensive, on the other hand the latter can exceed the oxygen supply bandwidth of the hospital (or particular wards) and aerosolises the area around the patient with the Coronavirus.
Smith knock-offs and Dyson models are suppose to be ramping up production shortly.
Could still be short, but Vallance the other day seemed again to be much more confident in terms of capacity, talking instead about some hospitals hitting max capacity, but spare elsewhere.
I believe the Excel centre is where in a real emergency they will fly people to.
Good to clear that up!
