    Pretty much any of your Chinese colleagues, who are back in work, will be virus free. They will have been monitored every time they enter their work place.
    Their movements before they came back to work would have been easily monitored too.
    It's not foolproof, but near to it.

    Yes they get temperature checks every day I think. It definitely seems to have really calmed down over there now. The chinese lads in our London office really want to go back but aren't allowed.

    I know Chinese people who live elsewhere in Asia that are now itching to return because China is a lot safer now.

    When I'm out and about now, it's ME that's starting to get 'static' off some of the locals.
    What a topsy-turvy world we live in right now, eh!

    Yes a few of them over here were getting grief for months when they are out and about. I fear you'll be getting the same looks in public now!

    It used to be that you coughed to cover up a fart, I've started farting to cover up a cough!

    Thats nice for you.
    From this I would also assume that you have a nice fat pension pot building too so no money worries either.
    Great stuff

    I was going sign off with a "stay safe" but it sounds like you don't really need to hear that.

    I haven't a pension pot, fat or otherwise. Had I I'd be much more concerned about the prospect of Weimar-like hyperinflation reducing its purchasing power to sweet FA than I am about the cash I hold becoming worthless.

    It took me 5 phone calls to get a tax refund that HMRC had confirmed was due to me. I really doubt any Western govt. will be delivering on these promises - even if it was their intention to do so in the 1st place. There's no mechanism. system, processes in place. By the time they've set everything up, we'll be coming out the other side of this..

    The German currency collapsed because it was the only currency affected. How do you envisage that the three main currencies will collapse at the same time? Does £1 suddenly equal $0.5, which suddenly equals 0.25 Euros which suddenly equals 5 pence?

    The currencies didn't collapse in 2008 because every one of the major nations had to make the same choices. Zimbabwe's currency collapsed because it was the only country acting like a dick.

    Think we know why there's a shortage of tinfoil.

    At the moment practically 1 person is dying a minute worldwide. And we're still in the early phases.

    More than 245,000 coronavirus cases have been confirmed across the globe. The World Health Organization noted that it took more than three months to reach 100,000 cases worldwide —but only 12 days to log the next 100,000.
    Nothing to worry about as long as you don't understand exponential growth

    Anyone thinking it isn't serious should read that.

    And for the record, it is NOT like flu, it is more often than not chronic pneumonia and it is killing hundreds here each day.

    The head of emergency care, Dr Roberto Cosentini, says they have never seen anything like it, and he and his staff are warning other countries, especially the UK, that they will see it soon.

    "It's a very severe pneumonia, and so it's a massive strain for every health system, because we see every day 50 to 60 patients who come to our emergency department with pneumonia, and most of them are so severe they need very high volumes of oxygen.

    Received a message from a friend of mine, who is a nurse. She told me that my local hospital, just a few hundred yards away, is in the process of increasing ITU beds from 7 to 40 and the hospital is drafting in nursing staff and doctors with ITU experience, her included (which she is terrified about).

    From 100,000 to 250,000 confirmed cases in 10 days.

    If we listen to our resident statistician's calculations that must mean there are over 1,000,00 cases already!
