Originally posted by Old Greg View PostImagine a disaster that nobody knows about in a remote island. They will receive no relief shipments.
If a journalist reports on it, it is no longer in a state of 'not being know about', and will hopefully receive relief shipments. So the reporting by the journalist changes the state of the event.
Ah yes, Schrödinger's Journalist Experiment.
Similar to the: If a tree falls in the woods and nothing hears it, does it make a noise?
or:
If a husband says something and his wife isn't around, is he still wrong?

Or is it that if there is no-one there to record it, the event didn't happen? Sadly that's impossible nowadays with them darned mobile phones.

Nicely nicely, populist, pretending to not be trying in vain to protect the economy. It's going to be far better for everyone concerned if we get this virus under control, with speedy harsh measures than it is to pussy foot around to protect an economy we are arguably damaging by drawing this out.
The sooner we follow the lead of countries that have "flattened their curve" the sooner we will. But oh no, we're Boris's Britain, we don't need advice , supplies, or assistance from anyone.
