    Comment


      Bit of a fright felling just under my left breast. What's this ? One of those ecg tabs left on. Thought my skin had turned to plastic.

        It would have been easier walk into the ulster Bank today and threaten girl behind the counter for 50k than it was to get 25 valium off my doctor.

        Once again though I won with my Oscar worthy performance

          Do you really need it Ms Nav? Can't be at all good for you long term.

                  Worst performance since Arteta took over. Defending from set pieces especially was horrific. Of all the people you want that last ditch chance to fall to it, you would pick Aubameyang too, sigh.

                  At least we can focus on the league, and finishing top 4, top 6, top half, fighting relegation.

                            @satnav stopped taking any pills a while back, but remember the doc at one point gave me a modern alternative to benzos. Said its core advantage was that it worked the same way but wasn't addictive. Can't for the life of me remember the name, maybe Vertran, or something like that.
                            I'm 100% not addicted. Do 3 days, without have a really anxious day may need 2. I take less than 25 a month but my anxiety comes from nowhere and they take it away. But doc was so good and convincing I'm thinking of taking her advice on lexapro.

                            I've hormonal issues all over the shop, so bad I took a week off work in 4.5 yrs

                                      Yeah Lexapro isn't just for depression. They are preferring to use other things rather than xanax etc these days it seems, addictive I guess.

                                        Shouldn't have looked at pension balance really, should I. Down more than a decent new car.

                                              mortality rates look interesting for covid so far:

                                              0% for under 10s
                                              0.2% for under 40s
                                              3.6% for over 60s
                                              over 80s is a whopping 15%

                                                Seeing as we are talking pensions, sorta, that might help out out with the demographic time bomb

                                                  What % is it for the 40 - 60 age group?

                                                      Think all these figures are based on a % of those who were actually diagnosed with it. But I'd imagine most people with the sniffles wouldn't bother going to the docs so figures are wildly skewed towards it being more severe.

                                                        It's skewed in all sorts of ways. Early on a lot of the deaths weren't being diagnosed as the virus.

                                                        I told my parents a way back to be prepared to have to stay indoors for a couple of weeks. For my myself I'm just worried about a bit of inconvience.

                                                        Yeah I was thinking to myself earlier on in the year that after last years gains, % moves were now actually meaningful amounts.

                                                        I think we'll rebound quickly once the worst has passed, MSFT isn't worth 15% less than it was a few weeks ago. And the big bazookas will be coming out soon.

                                                            They should be taken with a pinch of salt, but they're still a good indicator. Report is pretty clear about the assumptions, and some regions may be overestimated, whilst others are underestimated.

Those 0.4% mortality rates really start to add up then. E.g. between this board and our families and friends there's maybe a few thousand. At a random guess 5000. Just amongst our average age then it's about 20 deaths from those 5000. It's quite a lot. Solks seems on the way out, but it's still 19 more after him.
