China releases the name of its first corona virus victim. Ah Chu.

Seems to be fake news: FROM ONJ MANAGEMENT: We just wanted to alert EVERYONE that this story is completely UNTRUE. The interview Olivia did with her dear friend Richard Wilkins and Paul Hogan that aired on March 10, 2020, was actually filmed back in September 2018 when they were on set filming Hogan's new movie. In fact Olivia was back in the USA even before this interview aired. PLEASE do not pay attention to this false story that implies she was in contact with Richard after his positive test results. https://www.facebook.com/pg/olivianewtonjohn/posts/?ref=page_internal

I beat all three of you to that date.

I just had a chuckle at the CNN debate. When asked what he was doing to protect himself from Covid-19 he begins "....and knock on wood (taps head) I'm in good health..." and finishes with "I don't touch my face..." Which he just did.

Seems a harsh reality. The dying cannot see their loved ones one last time. One last hug, one last kiss, one last family contact denied. Then the funerals pile up or are carried out alone. Now Ireland are closing their pubs. That's when you know someone is taking it seriously.

A statement was issued in recent days saying that Betty White is fine and well after her name trended on Twitter because so many people were speculating and fearful that she was ill or would soon be ill/ at risk of dying because of coronavirus.

Reasonably vaccine will be there before autumn. And before that probably specific drugs to cure it. It won't last forever. But Italy has been in hell for weeks and still struggles to see a way out. Countries like Spain, France, UK, USA not only are at the beginning, but they are not taking it seriously enough (it also happened here, and tomorrow we'll mark 2000 deaths). Germany and Scandinavians are more serious and I think they won't sustain the same damage.

You’re obviously just outside the ‘he’s died’ circle.

Good morning! Today is Monday March 16th. 1256 cases earlier this morning. 2 more cases are recorded so far for today for a total now of 1258. No New deaths fortunately. The lock-down continues! Looks like I have my home office until Easter. Take care! At 8:30 p.m. There are now 1332 cases, no more deaths yet, however there are 11 in very intensive care right now. 76 New cases so far today. The borders will be closed tomorrow Tuesday. If you come for a visit you will be subjected to 14 days of lock-down by the border police, at the roads or at the airports/trains. NB! GB has yet to cancel their flights to Norway, so if you come, you might be turned away or put in isolation 14 days, unless you are a citizen or legal immigrant.

Where's he fled to? Antarctica?

Not heard anything and Roy Hudd is a mutual friend.

Next Sunday will be the big one for this. Lots of elderly mothers dragged out to lunches or dinners in crowded eateries. Or getting all the relatives to visit them and give lots of infected hugs and kisses. Have a lovely Mothering Sunday. Enjoy the inheritance.

My explanation: We like to lock away our old people alone and in care homes. The mediterranean culture keeps them in society.

Given my flatmate who is watching a Golden Girls marathon with me ( heck anything is more cheerful than the news) was stunned when I corrected him that they'd not all passed away. Good olde Betty White gawd love her.

congrats The Quim Reaper for this win !

Yeah - because only the Irish have an issue with alcohol and violence. And alcohol, sport and violence would definitely not be a problem in England for example. You dumb fucking cunt.

Some more over in Iran: Hashem Bathaie Golpayenagi, Grand Ayatollah and politician, dead at 78-79. One of those would have chosen the new Supreme Leader once Khamenei kicks the bucket https://news-24.fr/un-haut-dignitaire-religieux-iranien-parmi-ceux-charges-de-choisir-le-chef-supreme-succombe-a-une-infection-a-coronavirus/ (French obit) Nasser Shabani, brigadier general in the Revolutionary Guard https://www.aa.com.tr/en/latest-on-coronavirus-outbreak/iranian-gen-shabani-dies-from-coronavirus/1765725

Great job @YoungWillz! I think my score should be 139 points though, but I'm not sure if I miscalculated.

Seen similar posts in UK about David Attenborough.

Once they lock the 70 plus brigade away in splendid isolation I reckon some will die and not be discovered until the postman notices a nasty stench emanating from the letter box of said old person’s abode.

Yep got my Dad who lives with m and is awaiting heart surgery and has diabetes and asthma.I work in a care home so yeah Im pretty worried at this point.

I'm starting to get a bit scared of this thing.I've never felt like that about anything before. I'm almost resigned to memebrs of my family dying from it. I have diabetes so I'm at risk. I don't really care about myself, but it worries m e to death that my elderly parents might get it. Anyone else feel the same way ?
