Haha. 12-18 month pregnancies. Are we breeding a race of elephants. I know obesity is rampant in the UK but still.

BBC suspends TV soap filming
Filming for popular UK soap operas has been suspended following the latest government measures to curb coronavirus.
The BBC said production on EastEnders, Casualty, Doctors, Holby City, Welsh drama Pobol y Cwm and BBC Scotland's River City will all be halted.
Meanwhile EastEnders' episodes will now just air on Mondays at 8pm and Tuesdays at 7:30pm with immediate effect. This is to make the existing recorded episodes last as long as possible.

A snippet from the BBC live news feed.
Vaccine ready by autumn?
A German pharmaceutical company working on a vaccine has suggested it might have a product ready by autumn. The company, Curevac, had been at the centre of a row over the weekend when media reports suggested Washington had tried to offer money in exchange for a vaccine exclusive for the US.
The company though dismissed suggestions they'd received a concrete offer from Washington.
One of the owners of the firm told German paper FAZ that, if things go well, a vaccine might be developed by early summer and could then be approved and ready for rollout by autumn.

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.

I currently rent a place in a very quaint little village. Not a lot of property comes up for sale here. But given that about half of the village's population are in their late 60s upwards I can see hope for the chance to buy my own place in the near future. Every cloud etc.....

I'm in the camp that this escaped from a Chinese lab anyway . The lab was buying and selling animals to experiment on from the Wuhan market , then selling back the animals to make extra cash. That's feels correct in my mind with regards to how this all started.
No no no. This has CIA black ops written all over it. Developed it in Northern Italy in clandestine medical facilities with help from the Mafia. Meant only to be used on the hated enemies of Iran and China. But as with all these CIA plots they fucked it up and now it is leaking all over the shop. They also meant it to infect North Korea but as Americans have little to no knowledge of geography outside their own towns they infected South Korea instead. Simples.

The count at the start of the day is 227 cases. The Government is twiddling its thumbs. There are lots of older people in Norway.
Guess they want to reduce their pension payouts! Our Prime Minister is a Globalist. Got to get the older population numbers down. Many flights cancelled. Don't worry, be happy!
I think there are a few governments around the world thinking of that. Japan, Italy and the UK spring to mind. It is all about the overworked healthcare system, lack of care homes and also the number of pensions that have now got to be paid out. A cull of the old and infirm might just solve these problems quickly. We shall see.
