Bill Gates is a robot? Or he’s the only one immune to the virus because he’s so unbelievably clever and evil?
Fuck Ian Brown. Can’t imagine John Squire wanting anything to do with him after this so he’s fucked for anymore Stone Roses money at least.

Interview with Fauci in the New York Times
When did you first realize things were going wrong between you and President Trump?
It coincided very much with the rapid escalation of cases in the northeastern part of the country, particularly the New York metropolitan area. I would try to express the gravity of the situation, and the response of the president was always leaning toward, “Well, it’s not that bad, right?” And I would say, “Yes, it is that bad.” It was almost a reflex response, trying to coax you to minimize it. Not saying, “I want you to minimize it,” but, “Oh, really, was it that bad?”
And the other thing that made me really concerned was, it was clear that he was getting input from people who were calling him up, I don’t know who, people he knew from business, saying, “Hey, I heard about this drug, isn’t it great?” or, “Boy, this convalescent plasma is really phenomenal.” And I would try to, you know, calmly explain that you find out if something works by doing an appropriate clinical trial; you get the information, you give it a peer review. And he’d say, “Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, this stuff really works.”
He would take just as seriously their opinion — based on no data, just anecdote — that something might really be important. It wasn’t just hydroxychloroquine, it was a variety of alternative-medicine-type approaches. It was always, “A guy called me up, a friend of mine from blah, blah, blah.” That’s when my anxiety started to escalate.

He’s 80??? Jeez what a machine. I’d have thought mid 60s.
That was a good read. He’s a real class act. Completely refuses to sling dirt though he’s got every right to. We need more Faucis.

His role previously was specialising in pandemics, right? That quote you’ve pulled is madness.
also…I just had a job on Wednesday cancelled due to Covid.
Only 5 people max allowed on the job so they’ve cut teams down to minimums.
Bit of a fucker, but it is nice to see people taking it seriously.

Why doesn’t any of that surprise me.
Christ that must have been utterly soul destroying, but fair play of him not walking out . Fucking will of steel and lucky America had him there to keep the white House from making it even worse .

Was it this one?
I’ll have to give it a watch.
Crikey, just the three days of it.
Eindhoven’s main train station on Monday.
I don’t speak Dutch but this guy is a journalist from Holland I think - this was one of the top videos on Twitter under the Eindhovenprotest hashtag

Fucking hell. I’ve been there after PSV have lost and it’s not pleasant - this behaviour isn’t surprising.
Not good.
I remember we binned a night off because of the football and just chilled the lobby smoking warheads and cleared the vending machine of Heineken haha

I remember checking the taps for beer when we cleared out 2 entire vending machine shelves. They’d switched them off.
They’ve changed the BJ photo since - presumably to make him look more like he gives a fuck. It changed to the below about 20 mins after your one.

Who the fuck ‘computes sorrow’?
What a bizarre turn of phrase.

Hard to compute how long it’s taken for people travelling here to be required to quarantine.

“Compute” is apt I think, seems Warwick can’t compute what others with more empathy are asking of him. Our very own forum Boris.

I love this place. I love this place.
I was surprised to hear him take ownership of these deaths earlier. I don’t know his exact words but it was along the lines of ‘our government is responsibility for this tragic number’.
Might have misheard.
