I'd go with the boffins in this case rather than a rent-a-gob from The Guardian, but you do you.

Days after mocking the 200 "Maths PhD students" who wrote that letter (who turned out to be pretty much on the money - maybe you shouldn't have listened to the CMO/CSA after all), you put forward a tweet by a Tory Economics and Politics student. No wonder he cropped the description off the bottom of the graph - it's from March 16th and was referring to how they thought things would've gone if they'd stuck with the "herd immunity" strategy.

The point of the *opinion* piece was that Johnson loves a slogan and loves using unnecessarily obscure language to show off his vocabulary. Hyde wasn't asking anybody to "go with her".

Seaside visitors defy social distancing advice

People are weird, did they all think they'd be the only ones to think "I know what's not shut yet"

Many just ignore/understand how rapidly it can increase, although even governments seemed to suffer it to a degree.

Yup...Ive stayed clear of the woods and beach today, the car parks are rammed.
I dont think its that much of a problem..the beach is immense and theres no congregation points except the ice cream van and they have made all the carparks free...so no garhering around machines.

Lots of people visiting the beach near us but to be fair people are being pretty sensible; they're all distancing and there are multiple ways on and off the beach. I don't really blame people for getting fresh air; we went to Phoenix Park yesterday for a bike ride and didn't come within 10 feet of another human.

What I am seeing is lots of teenagers definitely not social distancing. They're bored and congregating all over the place and basically not giving a fuck.

I saw that but I do not know where in Sweden this is happening. I am surrounded by 4 supermarkets (they still work on a community model here) and all have stocks of toilet roll. I subscribe to the local as well as DN and the reports of bunking down are not as prevalent as in The guardian The independent and The Times.

There was an issue last weekend over paracetamol when the anti-inflammatory information started but that is not the case now as they limited people to I think 3 packs.

I am feeling much better which is a good thing as it is laundry day and I have to go downstairs in the appartment for that. I also went accross the road for fresh vedgetables etc and the shelves were full. What is apparent however is that online food deliveries have increased as I can not get my normal slot next week so I will

The theory that warmer weather kills the virus is unproven.

Usual politically biased 'facto', they alting turn the story to warm weather, direct sunlight on surfaces will deactivate a virus.
The fact that it has been 'proven' to actually help with this virus spread is just adjusting the argument.

If this is correct why have citizens of New Delhi been requested to quarantine for 14 hours a day from 7am to 9pm and they prefer that they do not leave their homes after that also.

Because 1.5 billion people dont leave anywhere untouched long enough for the effect to make a statistical difference.

I popped out on my motorbike and I still see far too many people gathering in open spaces, naturally it has been made worse with everything else closed.

First time in my life that I could not hug/kiss one of my babies this morning when I delivered some much need toilet paper. Was so fucking hard and had to fight back the tears. Both of my babies are on the 1.5 million stay indoors for 12 weeks as of now list.
