Re: Chinese Coronavirus
For the second month running my mobile phone company has come to the party by doubling my data. Using Covid19 as an excuse.I can't see what is in it for them other than customer satisfaction. I Have fibre to my home so I barely use 2Gb of data a month on my mobile phone, never mind the 30Gb which comes with my plan (There is no contract), I suppose they are on a pretty safe bet by doubling it.
BTW I pay $25 a month for unlimited calls and texts domestically and internationally (I was on the phone to my brother in the UK for 2 hours this evening). Originally I received 2.5Gb of data for that but they keep increasing it.

First of all thanks for the link very interesting.
BUT with the recovered cases the death toll is 10%
In the UK its just over 4% but some other countries with about the same number of cases is a lot lower.

Re: Chinese Coronavirus
I had an email from Sky this morning giving me an extra 10Gb of data for my mobile as I'm self-isolating and working from home. This made me
because a) I'm retired, b) my mobile is rarely switched on and is PAYG with EE, and c) we're NOT self-isolating even though Boris said we should.

Thanks for that its a hell of a piece of worry off my mind.
Vegas have shut down all their casinos.
At 77 if I get it it will be a 15% chance of dying.
So stay safe.

Re: Chinese Coronavirus
Not sure if this is the right thread for this, seems to be many threads on here about the Miley! (Am reliably informed Miley Cyrus is official Cockney rhyming slang for the coronavirus
)Anyway, I thought this was interesting, why no NHS orders? Especially since they have been saying they are not testing people with symptoms unless they are in hospital as they don't have enough kits!
