The BBC is 'not straight' ! ... ha ha !
Waiting for the SWAT team.....

From CNN - Russian President Vladimir Putin said this week his country managed to stop the mass spread of coronavirus -- and that the situation was "under control," thanks to early and aggressive measures to keep more people from getting the disease.

OK , OK, my friend...Here one for you.......
Look at the Worldmeter numbers for Russia !
Makes you wonder if they developed it?
Light banter....

Whilst everybody is emptying the supermarkets, don't forget to refill your BBQ calor patio gas tanks ! You're going to be spending a lot of time at home. The suppliers shops may not be open soon.
We just have to adapt to the new scenario.

LW - I liked the original better. It was funny....and no one picked up on it?
Says a a lot for this BB......

"And Americans are buying guns??"
Yes, to 'defend' their homes, their families', their land, their rights, their toilet rolls....
They think the great unwashed are coming to get them..... My sister (Maryland Republican), says all this.
A paranoid race. No hope for them. Great countryside though......

If the media stopped showing rows and rows of empty shelves on TV, then people wouldn't panic and hoard. They are sending the wrong message.
As for, "The message I keep getting is that it only affects the old so I am not worried." from Cap'n Swag is tempting fate as well as naive...
Millions will lose jobs. People are buying guns like mad in the USA for fear of anarchy and chaos.

A2UK. I have had private pilots licenses for both (fixed wing + rotor`) and have owned several aircraft. Locally, there is a stunt aerobatic pilot who drives us all mad showing off, and making a very annoying racket. Like an annoying bluebottle. If I could get his UK G- reg number of the aircraft I would complain to the authorities. He is supposed to practice away from built up areas, and not go below 500 ft unless take-off and landing, of course. But, show off they all do!. The old joke is 'How do you know there is a pilot in a room of 200 people?' Answer : "Because he'll tell you...."
Another 800 dead in Italy today....

Excellent, Cebo. Thanks for being a Gent! Never need to apologise to me.
Frankly, I'm surprised they are even having a CMD......It'll have to be in video, or podcast format.

At the CMD, I wouldn't be surprised for Dr. T to state cash accumulation(thus survival) is the immediate priority, and so will increase production to make up for the fall in oil price. Almost obvious...
However, as David Attenborough says,
"It is not the fittest that reigns..... it is the opportunist.!. "

I said this before.
Trump is Republican.
Texas is Republican.
Shale is Texas.
Shale is hurting bad at this WTI PoO.
Trump cannot expect reelection based on the economy.
He needs Texas's vote.
He will put pressure on KSA for his own political re-election.

Just chatted to my pal in Spain. He's in total lockdown. Police stop anyone outdoors - €1200 fine - if been to supermarket but has no receipt evidence! He keeps a parcel with him to say he's going to post office. Can't even go within 2M of his garden edge if it borders others. Supermarkets are full of stock of everything, loo rolls, fish counters, but no customers. He's going stir crazy.
So far, we have it easy.

Mr Andrew Bailey was a client of mine in the late 80's and 90s. Nothing financial. A very amiable fellow. He lived near me. He will know who has shorted for 'advantage' and will have a record. However, I can't see them being punished, apart from a handclap and a 'ticking off' ! I am an advocate for banning shorting as I can't see the financial benefit to any company. Big firms, like The Pru types, earn interest on lending out stock that they are holding long in their funds. Seems a conflict of interest to me, in favour of sheer profit. I'm for banning the seedy practice. I have no sway.

Fookit, I'm going back into my garden shed.
You youngsters can sort out your futures.

JAdam - Good, valid, comment . Also, there ought to be a litigious limit on how much the NHS can be sued for. This is a state run service, not a private botox clinic.

They may well cancel the CMD.
Then just wait for an updated CPR.
WTFDIK.
