    Coronavirus: How dangerous a threat?

    so with all these lock-downs and closures, just what is the criteria for re-opening? considering the last I saw of a viable vaccine being about 18months away, just how long are the predictions?

    Coronavirus: How dangerous a threat?

    This won't help... a few million of his followers will now think nothing of heading out and further spreading the virus :rolleyes: "...accusing the World Health Organization of dispensing inaccurate facts about the outbreak and suggesting that those with the disease would be safe going to...

    Coronavirus: How dangerous a threat?

    hand wash buying I get, but loo paper??? it's not even a virus that gives you the runs... if people think they'll be stuck home for months, surely you'd be getting other stuff instead of buying 50 bog rolls...

    Driving into cyclists the Emma way

    Blame barometer on rear-end collisions is 100% on the vehicle hitting the vehicle in front of it. I'd be very surprised if this goes anywhere beyond the (likely bluff) claim being made...

    Harvey Weinstein case

    not sure we'll ever know if they "couldn't get otherwise".

    Movie Thread

    Death at a Funeral was brilliantly funny. Good move to avoid the remake - was nowhere near the original... Can't comment much on Streisand as an actress, as I've not watched much of her. Last movie I watched was Porco Rosso, now that Studio Ghibli is on netflix - not quite as I remembered it...
