When will it be called a pandemic?

Like five new countries today and god knows how many cases in North Korea and Iran, surely we are close to calling it now?

Pandemic?! Spanish flue killed millions. This is such total bollocks. Of course every square that normally beavers away in a musty 5th floor room only reachable by stairs in some university is going to enjoy their 5 minutes of fame to try and get some stuff published finally by claiming it's the end of days, especially given that, compared to 17 years ago there are countless "journalists" serving all kinds of shitty publications that need some new take in order to exist. 

This is probably the only occasion that calls for a BoJo outburst suggesting people get a grip and get on with stuff. We let 500,000 people a year die of malaria and 1m die from TB but we're all so pathetic we can't have any perspective on what is, even if China is lying massively about cases, bugger all. 

China probably executed more people last year than have died from this.

"China probably executed more people last year than have died from this."

Yes folks he actually said this. Death rates should be compared against those of countries which impose capital punishment for doing, er, whatever they think capital punishment should be used as a sentence from time to time as they see fit.

Christ.

Point is nobody gives a rats ass about that quantity of people dying, it's just that their hysterical assessment of the chance of them being one of that small number somehow makes this legitimate.

 

Bananas - Crikey you’re right mate. If 1m plucky Brexit Brits carc it from TB and half a mil from malaria, then why on Earth are we making such a fuss about something thats caused about 10 cases of man flu!!!!

fook me we must be stupid, cheese eating surrender monkeys!!!!!!

Thank god we have people like u to put us right and prepare us propa!!!!
