The UK and the coronavirus - Update 3 - Health

Guardian: Reports " Government to shut schools in event of UK coronavirus outbreak..No 10 planning for ‘all eventualities’ if number of coronavirus cases surge in UK   "

Lets Get Real:

If the Coronavirus does hit the UK, the Government should think about shutting the entire UK off, close ALL THE BORDERS, no flying, no travelling by sea, a complete STOP, think of it as an early no deal BREXIT.  MIGHT as well getting the planning in, it kills two problems at once,  no spread of the disease and we get ready for a NO DEAL BREXIT after 2020.   The UK has to be protected at all costs, does not matter how it goes down with the press or the people, if the disease becomes another Spanish Flu it could kill hundred of thousands, thus the first duty of government is to protect the people at all costs.   But and this is a very important BUT, this blog does not think it will happen.  One should always be prepared, that what the Scouts taught me before they threw me out for being lazy and not turning up.!!

Is Coronavirus = Disease X - Update 2 - Health

Daily Mail: Reports " Is the killer coronavirus now disease X? World Health Organization expert warns the infection is 'rapidly' fitting category for the mysterious pathogen scientists fear will kill 80million  "

Lets Get Real:

This blog has been very honest in the past, it has severe OCD and if it thought that the Coronavirus was another Spanish Flu it would say so and lock itself in the HOUSE, it does not and thus will take with a pit of caution that we have another Spanish Flu.   The NHS in the UK and the rest of the Western World has built up their systems over the years, thus the idea that people should start to wear medical masks in the UK, seem a bit out of it.   The cases in Italy one can see the point, even if they have not found patient ZERO yet.   Thus stay calm and keep a even course.  

Economic Markets and the Coronavirus - Update 2 - US 2020 Election

Sky News: Reports " FTSE 100 sees biggest fall in four years on outbreak fears...New York's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing more than 1,000 points, or 3.6%, lower on Monday - its biggest fall for two years.  "

Lets Get Real:

The question is are we seeing another Spanish Flu ( 1918 ), that killed millions, more than died in World War one.  This blog would suggest caution, modern medicine is a lot better that after WW1.   Also Governments around the World are taking care who enters their Countries.   The death toll of the latest virus might be in the low thousands by the time it ends, and it will end, but not in the millions, the virus would have to mutate to get around the latest regulations by Government.  Thus if your are watching the TV 24 hour rolling news, it is to early to order your casket, the problem will be solved. 

The Latest South Carolina Poll - US Election Update - US 2020 Election

BBC News: Reports on the latest poll from South Carolina, " A poll by CBS/YouGov in the state last week found Mr Biden retains a narrow lead with 28%, with Mr Sanders at 23% and billionaire Tom Steyer at 18%. The same poll in November had put Mr Biden with 45% of the vote to Mr Sanders's 15%.  "

Lets Get Real:

In the last few days we have seen Senator Sanders win in Nevada and the Democratic Establishment getting the coffee, that Sanders is a major threat, the last poll from South Carolina shows that Biden is losing his LEAD.  The Democrats with a brain cell have worked out sometime ago that Sanders on top of the Democrat ticket would be a disaster for the rest of the ticket.  There hopes are two fold, that Biden can win SC and change the poll numbers or that Mayor Bloomberg can buy the nomination with his money, Super Tuesday is coming soon and it was reported that Biden has spent ZERO on adverts in the Super Tuesday State.  One only hopes that the Biden Campaign has gotten some bucks in and is spending like it gone out of fashion, otherwise the Campaign will be between Sanders and Bloomberg, one a multi billionaire and other with three houses.
