There are 68 confirmed cases in Croydon, out of a local
population of 385,346.
It was 46 earlier today.
As more people test the stats go higher and higher…
Went to the supermarkets today. All the tinned food has now gone and most of
the frozen but Sainsburys were doing their best to restack. Booze is starting to run short too… at least
the beer.
I think the panic buying is a good example of recursion. The more people imagine there to be food
shortages the more they panic buy and the more the government tells them not to
panic buy the more they imagine there must be food shortages. This reinforces the panic buying mentality until everyone's shopping list is a Fibonacci sequence...
People keep sending me links telling me to buy/enjoy their
content online as all public places have been closed. Which reminds to me I should probably plug my
books since you’re all sat indoors with nothing else to do…
Boris was on TV again today promising to spend his way out,
offering 80 of the wages of the affected and offering a bigger safety net for
the unemployed. Maybe we should have
deadly viruses more often. I believe
that after the Black Death everyone got a lot richer because when the world
population dropped from 475 million to 350–375 million that meant there were less
people to do the work … I wonder if any of those eco-puritans who don’t have
children because it will destroy the planet feel at silly when a large chuck of
population unexpectedly…
Talking of which top marks to the man who walked behind a
BBC journalist dressed as a plague doctor (see the Mirror here for clip)
On the plus side Petrol is down to 114p...
