Tinned food 30c a can in Aldi/Lidl. It's no harm really. I haven't started but given the data I would not dismiss the idea.

Would hate to be running for the supermarket if an outbreak here and the UK

On payday, I buy in about 2 weeks worth of food. Non-perishable stuff. It means in the case of unforeseen financial woes, the last 2 weeks before payday, I have stuff to eat.



I'm just upping my normal stockpiling a little bit.



I know a guy who stockpiles a year in advance, which is a little too much for me, but he says, he's eating behind inflation.



There are loads of bargains out there. Some examples/comparisons:


SuperNoodles = 1.29
Koka Noodles = .99c
Tesco instant noodles .12c


10 packs of tesco own brand for the price of one pack of super noodles.


Bachelors baked beans = 1.10
Tesco baked beans = .38c


Heinz Tomato soup can = 1.45
Tesco Tomato soup can = .55c.



You can buy a weeks worth of food, stick it in a cupboard and hope you don't need to use it, for about a tenner. I'm hardly bankrupting myself by being prepared.

The more cases there are in the broader Asia Pacific the more vulnerable China becomes to the consequences of the charge of not being forthright as to the scale of the crisis there.

It must be a huge concern for the entire region.

The economic impact has yet to be truly felt of the recent turmoil as well.

FFS! do they want to infect the whole aeroplane so that they can just quarantine everyone.

Good read
two possible scenarios of this outbreak
1. Virus becomes endemic without killing huge numbers of people, and
2. Virus becomes endemic after killing huge numbers of people.

Kuwait banning all travel to and from Iran - I don't think Kuwait believe their numbers :rolleyes:

I usually add chilli powder, pepper, ginger or turmeric to these products. More expensive products are not anymore better quality.

Aw they're in a room together. Their son seemed worried about them being separated in an interview and it got me thinking how awful it would be if you and your partner were both sick and not able to see each other. I think I'd become far more unwell from the anxiety and fear for my partner.

Another 7 cases in S Korea

They really are getting hit hard by this - surpassed Japan in like a day from pretty much nothing to 111 cases

I hope they come through it OK, what ages are they? Mid sixties onward.

One odd thing about that (FB post) - says every pore opened and seems to be attributing it to a cold? Thought cold symptoms are nothing like Covid - bit confused by this???

Shame on Three - should be giving free data!

A man in a critical condition in Milan has tested positive for coronavirus, his age, nationality and travel history are not yet known.

I think that's been covered by some medical experts. Early / mild symptoms are similar to cold etc. The danger that elsewhere people travelling and infected / asympotomatic or otherwise will not / cannot be identified

Another UK national from the The Diamond - Princess Alan Steeled diagnosed with Coronavirus - showing no symptoms calls the quarantine on board a joke

South Korea is seriously fecked, would there be a large contingent of Chinese visiting there or is it all down to the death cult

There's rumours the religious sect spread it deliberately though don't know why people believe that to be the case, don't think it's been confirmed or even theorised by authorities in South Korea yet

Though not all the cases are related to the church a few are in Seoul and some are related to an outbreak in a hospital

Somebody commented thats there is 9 dead now in Iran??

Iran, if they have downplayed this could be riddled.

About two weeks ago we were saying, "let see what happens in 2 weeks"

Lets see whats happens now in the next 7 days!

bodhrandude

A comment in that Twitter post says " There is an independent reporter and I can't find him anywhere now , and he was saying after gathering information from doctors and nurses in Iran he estimated around 1,500 cases already." Please note this is just a comment and unconfirmed as yet.

Was a twitter report of 9 dead and hundreds or thousands infected and the two reported dead were not 80 or had other conditionds
What's the chances of a Canadian visiting and catching it
Country is probably worse than China in terms of reporting

Yeah exactly. What are the chances?! With the numbers they're reporting it seems crazy that a tourist would pick it up. A tourist going to hubei sure but Iran...

Maybe they are Iranian Canadian that have settled in Canada, remember that plane that got shot down in Iran, there was 75 Iranian Canadian based passengers on that flight.

Well South Korea is implementing Chinese style measures very quickly, all major rallies and public congregation events have been banned indefinitely and 3000 social welfare offices across the country have been closed. I guess they're determined not to be wuhan 2.0

But even so.. aren't they reporting to have about 5 cases?? Qom has a population of more than 1 million. Presumably that person whether Iranian or otherwise only visited for a limited period. How did they contract it with such low numbers. Seems incredibly unlucky.
