Three more people have tested positive in the UK for coronavirus – with Northern Ireland confirming its first case tonight. All of them were infected after travelling to Italy or Tenerife. They’re now being treated at specialist NHS infection centres.

To date more than seven and a half thousand people in the UK have been tested for the virus 16 were positive. Eight of them have now been discharged from hospital. But with more cases expected to emerge, the Government is set to launch a new public health campaign.

    Something doesn't add up. Just how bad is the coronavirus??
    The media is doing their usual thing, where they dial up the hysteria as much as possible. If you listen to them, we're staring down the barrel of an unprecedented catastrophe. They're throwing around "PANDEMIC!" like it's going out of style.
    But the official numbers paint a far less calamitous picture. In a nation of literal billions, just over 1000 people have died. The symptoms seem akin to the flu, and nearly all the casualties are either elderly or already in poor health.
    China already has tons of air pollution. And they're packed in like sardines. So it makes sense that a virus that presents as a respiratory illness would be uniquely deadly there.
    But that doesn't mean it's a major threat to the rest of the world.
    In fact, so far, the virus has had little impact outside of China.
    However, China is responding to the virus like it's much worse than the flu. They've locked down tens–maybe even hundreds–of millions of people. They've built extra hospitals almost overnight.
    Entire supply chains are down. United Airlines, American Airlines, and Delta have all suspended all air travel to China through the end of April.
    That doesn't seem like a reasonable response compared to the official numbers that have been released so far.
    So why is the media dialing up the hysteria while uncritically passing along the (relatively mild) official numbers? If it's as bad as they say it is, where's the evidence?
    Someone is lying. And probably multiple someones. That means someone is trying to get you to do something you wouldn't otherwise want to do.

British man claims record-breaking fastest run across Australia | BBC News

Published

on



A British ultra-endurance athlete says he has broken the world record for running across the width of Australia, after a gruelling 35-day journey.

William Goodge, 31, started the 3,800km (2,361-mile) run from Cottesloe Beach in Perth on 15 April, and finished on Monday afternoon at Australia’s iconic Bondi Beach.

Goodge’s team says he ran the equivalent of two-and-a-half marathons, about 100km, every day.

The record is yet to be verified by Guinness World Records, which certified Chris Turnbull’s record-breaking dash across the continent over 39 days in 2023. The year before, Australian electrician Nedd Brockmann ran the same route in 47 days.
