Not just this share, data wrong on others, some glitch where it's frozen at 13 February prices / data.

According to investing.com it dropped from 4.50 to 4.30 at CoB. Feels like somethings about to move - not sure which direction!

Just what the doctor ordered Winalot, big smiles:}

Very fitting GD number in these interesting time.
So long for now and thanks for all the fish, it's 43 and don't panic! :}

Thank you, your kind and yes, sometimes detailed but often musical responses have been much appreciated and enjoyed! Hope Hurricane and everyone I've had the pleasure to meet on here and other boards gets through this and see you on the other side!

Thanks PetetheStreet and Genghis

Fundamentals for Hurricane don't influence my decision, on a personal level just having to take steps to make sure my family are covered and that's meant some difficult choices in the last few weeks. I sincerely hope Hurricane get through this and that they get adequate support from the OGA and the Government. Let's see what the next few months bring, wishing you all the best.

We all know Hurricane is woefully undervalued, or was, what happens in the next months remains to be seen - globally as a result of Covid. We've all seen this before, a tentative rise only to be sold into the next day and I think that's exactly what this is.
I'm out as of today, only holding a few stocks now. I may regret it long term but right now cash is king and I'll just have to make it back. These are going to be challenging times for every single business out there and none the less so for Hurricane. If I'm still here in a few months and it looks like there might be some positive support for growth I'll be back in.
Sincerely good luck to all invested here and previously invested here. Keep safe and well and take care of those you love. Most of all - be kind!

I'm with you on that JH77, 'bit toppy'!

Dryland,
Good grief - surely some parents were LSD free during the 70s!

BBC - 'not straight' - let's not mention every seriously dodgy (but fondly remembered nevertheless in all innocence) children's programme made in the 70s - Magic Roundabout, Captain Pugwash ... there were many

Loving , losing - often much the same ...

Daltry 100% with you there, either they're putting on a 'show' or one has to question their complacency at this juncture when the rest of the world is loving loved ones on a daily basis - either posturing or seriously suspect! And that's from someone who loves Russian writers and thinkers - (yes the ones who inevitably ended up dead!)

Please listen to this recording from an NHS A&E consultant. If we can pull together as a country and prevent NHS overload hopefully this doctor and all doctors up and down this country won't be put in the position of having to choose which patient they put on a ventilator and which patient they can't ...

Agree on the panic buying, it's a vicious circle. Supermarkets are adjusting policies in response so we'll see how that works out. Suspect Captain Swag was being ironic re. who the virus effects. Meantime let's go check on our neighbours and loved ones ...

I hope my posts will be excused as off topic as they were in response to other postings musings on the current or likely impact of Covid-19. There's always a silver lining though, priorities may be realigned with reality at last instead of the 'greed is good culture' propagated by Thatcher for so long. Even Trump's becoming socialist, though he's called it 'Americanism', bless him!

Obviously the WWII stats are for the UK only!

And just to put those figures into perspective:

World War II deaths: 449,700 includes deaths from the Crown Colonies, military and civilian totals.

That puts the UK at a growth rate in comparison of only 2%.

To give some idea of the scale of growth, between 18th March and the 19th, if these figures are to be believed (as quoted in Forbes: https://www.forbes.com/sites/trevornace/2020/03/20/coronavirus-is-growing-faster-in-the-united-states-than-any-other-country-in-the-world/#3faf16eb7e72

Estimated death toll in different scenarios:

If nothing is done: 500,000 deaths
Slow spread of virus, including isolating those with symptoms: 250,000 deaths
Measures in place now: Suppress virus, including school closures, reducing social contact, isolating vulnerable and those with symptoms: 20,000 deaths

Note: It's been said by one or other of the Imperial College advisors that broadly speaking take the current number of reported cases x 10 = the probable figure.
