Tim Lang, Professor of Food Policy at City University London says the UK could experience food shortages. C4 News this evening.
āThereās a mismatch thatās going to happen between supply and demandā.
āBritain only produces around half of its food, we are heavily dependent on food that comes acrosss the channel, but the government has been posturing about that.ā
Iād be hopeful that this is the case too. Now Iāve never actually discovered Ebola or anything of that ilk, but history shows that humanity can achieve incredible things when push comes to shove.

Lads whatever about the economic recovery, Iām sorry to say the human recovery is going to be harder.
The grief is going to be almost crippling, if things get bad here then people will die without funeral or wake.
The front line services are going to need to make decisions on who lives and who dies
There is going to be an awful lot of misery if the worst happens
Aside from @Batigol, us anyone here working in a front line role? And are you getting increasingly nervous about having ongoing contact with people while the rest of the country is gradually shutting down?
My sister works in a day care unit for people with severe disabilities. The service users in many cases are incapable of observing the coughing/sneezing etiquette and lots of them have compromised immune systems.
AFAIK, such places havenāt been included in the shut down list - well her place hasnāt - and it would place a huge burden on affected families to close down as the unit offers support / structure / activities for users (as well as respite to families).
But sheās developed a Bressie-like state of anxiety about the whole thing despite being very fond of the folk she minds.

Thereās only 3 and a half k dead in China? Why is the death rate so low? Iām hearing of between 25k and 40 in Ireland.
Thatās because the Chinese werenāt selfish cunts and didnāt go to cheltenham

This fella knew
Austria banning gatherings of more than 5 people 
So basically itās just hysteria? The Chinese if Iām not mistaken celebrated their new year which would be a far larger event than Cheltenham.
On the other hand, the study authors concluded that āthe overall clinical course appears more favorable than what was observed in China, for patients in the U.S.ā Notably, 42% did not require hospitalization. But the analysts cautioned that it is āunclear whether this represents a different level of medical care or an evolving viral profile.ā

Chinese are notorious for judging numbers cant trust them as far as you throw them
But if the numbers we are being told materialized in China there would be 20 million dead wouldnāt there? Thereās nothing even remotely close to that dead. Things are already getting back to normal in wuhan and hospitals are being closed.
If China are telling the truthā¦
