From what i have been told my friends found breathing while sat on the sofa watching TV to be a bit like you'd expect to be feeling after running a marathon, but otherwise they are good and seem to be coming out of the other side of it so that's good but I wish you all the luck in the 'Verse...

Numbers for today Monday 20th April: 124,743 total confirmed with 4,676 new, and 16,509 total deaths with 449 new. The daily briefing cast optimism on the lower number of cases and deaths saying that it looks like it's flattening out: (The above chart taken from...

Today I found out the first people I know directly have tested positive for COVID-19. They live a few towns over in one of the only places in the county that has a Hospital, and one of them works in there in a non-related area so I suppose it was only a matter of time - that's practically being...

UK numbers reported today 19th April: 120,067 total confirmed with 5,850 new, and 16,060 total deaths with 596 new. A marked drop in deaths, but then it has been repeatedly clarified that not all instances make it into the report on the weekend:

It's a good plan, Alpha though has me put off trying to make and spend money as it's all just the tiniest bit of a pain in the arse when half the mechanics are not present. When I can start making money with the SF by refining fuel I'll definitely deck it out with some more sustainable weaponry...

If we're ever on the same server I can always use a dorsal gunner on my Starfarer. That fat bastard is a sitting duck without someone in that top turret. The rear turrets with scatter guns are useless too - scatters are close range. The Starfarer isn't going to be going fast enough backwards or...

Todays numbers for the UK (18th April): Total confirmed 114,217 with 5,526 new, total dead 15,464 with 888 new. Todays status is bought to you by: Captain Tom has now raised £23 million, his 100th Birthday is on the 30th. And: Amidst shortages of personal protective equipment in...

One thing I will say the Max has over the Connie is that it is supposed to be the largest ship that can pass through a small jump point (unless that changes). That's quite a powerful advantage for an Ursa carrier if they don't bring anything else out with that capability. What size jump hole...

I think Blind Owl has the range of options wrapped up, except don't forget the Hercules. That thing'll carry a Tonk once it's ready. It's a bit pricey, but then so is the 600i. What kind of thing are you looking to carry? if it's just your bikes freelancer size would be ideal. if it's a Tumbril...

Oooh, yum. I've just turned an old Pi 3b I've had sitting around doing nothing for years into a desktop with Ubuntu Mate so I can watch my DVD collection I'm archiving on to hard drive through it on the TV. I'd always intended to learn Python or do some other projects with it but that never...

For the GLORY of... erm... 3.9!

UK numbers for today 17th April: 108,692 total confirmed with 5,599 new, 14,576 total deaths with 847 new. It seems hopeful that this is the plateau as rates have been the same or similar for quite a few days now. Government won't entertain the idea of relaxing the measures until we have had a...

I get where you are coming from, and earlier in this thread I had announced with most countries now with a plan of action in place it was likely time to start the theory-crafting as to what/who/how, however that was before the US threatened to destabilize the global effort. I wouldn't have...

Thanks for the extra details, dudes. Makes the original Herd Immunity theory the UK talked about for so long (which would have needed a vaccine to work anyway) seem totally and utterly ineffective now.

Frikkin' magic. At least the survivors won't be afraid to go to their friends funerals.

Many thanks for filling me in there. I think I now know how we get from the present day to when that documentary "Ideocracy" is set. No longer survival of the smartest, just the dumbest who continue to bumble about in the face of social distancing requirements infecting everyone else not lucky...

Do you know what the deal is with asymptomatic carriers? I have heared a lot of noise about people being able to spread it without showing signs of infection, so if they don't show symptoms that means they are not sick while carrying it at that point. But what has not been made clear is does...

UK numbers for today Thursday 16th April: 103,093 total confirmed with 4,618 new - now over 100k cases. 13,729 deaths with 861 new. Lockdown extended for at least another 3 weeks in the UK, at no shock to anyone except the most wishful of thinkers. Will have to go shopping for food soon as...
