Title: Some anti statistics...
Post by: Doctor Gollum on 19 March 2020, 11:35:20
Currently, you're more likely to own an L320 RRS than you are to have bat flu... globally speaking ;)

250,000 versus 230,000. Ish.

As the numbers stand, assume that everyone in Brighton and Hove has caught bat flu. Everyone in Hove has recovered, and everyone living in the marina has died.

Nobody else has it. Anywhere.

The chances of being on a 'plane with one bomb on board is many millions to one.

The chances of being on a 'plane with two bombs on board is many billions to one.

So if/when the airlines ever start flying again you'll be much safer from terrorism if you take your own bomb with you   ::)

Michel Barnier.  Is he batty?

It is early days to know someone. Give it a few weeks and ask again.

A very good point sir,  it's about numbers, at the moment you've as much chance of getting chinqy flu, as buying 9 bog rolls from Tesco. :)

The sales of ice cream on the beaches of Australia directly correlate with the numbers of shark attacks.

Ban sales of ice cream....And no more shark bites...

We are only a couple of weeks behind Italy , so unless there is some kind of miracle thousands more will die , some morons assume by sticking their heads in the sand it won't happen to them or someone they know/love, it will it's happening every day.

Not definitively, but I'm 99% sure that one my team had it (along with her OH and 2 kids). I say not definitively as, although they had all the symptoms, none of them are/were ill enough to go to hospital, so they weren't tested for it.

Then again, he's the landlord of one of the busiest pubs in Northampton so, before it closed he probably interacted with more people every day than I do in a year!

The symptoms are vague enough in severity to not be certain.

I feel like I have a temperature - feel cold and clammy, glands are up slightly as well, but no cough. Have spent most of the week in bed asleep.

Batflu, fatigue or depression... You decide :-\

No I won't be bothering the doctor.

If your 'time is up' then your 'time is up' so there's nothing you can do about it, it's your turn in the queue.

               ....but what if it's the Pilots turn.  :-\

Yes, when your name is on the 'bullet' there is no escape.  That is also true if the pilot of your plane has his number come up;  if you are not meant to die, then you will not and will walk away, parachute out, from the crash, as a number have over the decades. ;)

Jump out of an aeroplane without a parachute, Lizzie, then you'll see who decides when your time is up.

You've done the right thing only time to contact emergency services/doctor is if your breathing is severely affected ,although with the present lack of respiratory equipment I wouldn't build hopes to high. If we follow Italy's way of work within the ICU department anyone of the age of 65 is just sedated, as the younger patients are more deserving of life saving equipment.
Hope you feel a lot better soon DG.

But some have. During WW2 a rear gunner from a Lancaster fell 18,000 feet without a parachute and survived, along with an American who fell 22,000 without his chute and survived.  In more recent times, in 1972, an air stewardess fell 30,000, albeit in the tail of the airliner that broke up in flight.  There are a few other examples in the records.

So it CAN happen when your God decides that it should! 8) 8) :D :D ;)

I personally though have had enough very, very near misses whilst driving, or stationary, not to wish tempting God to call it by jumping out of an aircraft deliberately without a chute!! :o :o ;D ;D ;D ;)

How many people that they are telling us died of CV-19 would have died in due course anyway?  ???

Or to put it another way how many have died with CV-19, but something else actually finished them off?  :-\

Indeed, and we all should remember a lot of us die from all types of reasons anyway, including the national cull of, on,average, 17-20,000 per year from your usual flue ;) 

500,000+ on top of that will die from illness, accident and old age / time is up! :'( :'(

60. And if you are male, over 60 and smoke, and have any risk factors, being on a ventilator will only prolong the agony. Probably.
