I think most of us will know someone who has had cancer and its fucking awful Apparently 300,000 people died from cancer in the UK in the last 4 years. That's the best part of 1million people in a decade. That's a big burden on the NHS, pension fund etc. if they all survive. Wouldn't be surprised if the top dogs in the world weren't too eager to find a cure for it. Or am I going a bit Parky? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 42449 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Not at all mate- I doubt we’ll hear anymore about this, unless Johnson and his cronies can work out how to make millions from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35083 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 A Pharma company would make an absolute fortune out of it. They wouldn’t be arsed about other companies losing out. That would be my take, although who fucking knows who’s pulling what strings? J’s theory isn’t beyond the realms of possibility Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 21626 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Just seen this, anybody who has worked in the field of cancer research will know that a cover up is complete Parky nonsense. It's just not how it works, there are thousands of people working in cancer research in universities and not for profit organisations. A universal cure would benefit everyone, including pharma CEOs, or do you think they would have their treatment in secret? As for the economics, cancer is a huge drain on healthcare. If people lived longer after having their cancer cured they will die of something else, but it will very likely be cheaper than terminal cancer. I've read loads of stories like this over the years. I hope there's something in it. But because of the complexity of cancer I think such a cure all is unlikely in our life times, not because of some pharma cover up.

Gemmill 44881 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 (edited) This coronavirus looks like a bit of a whopper. Only 17 dead so far but they've just put another city (pop 7.4m) in lockdown, all trains suspended, vehicles being checked, bars and cinemas closed. Is this the planet finding its own solution to the climate crisis? Edited January 23, 2020 by Gemmill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5223 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 (edited) I'm hoping it's just precautionary by the Chinese. As in, it's better to overreact in case it suddenly becomes more potent, than to risk it remaining relatively benign. Alternatively, official death toll is much higher than is being reported and it's a full blown crisis. Edited January 23, 2020 by Rayvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44881 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 The WHO is apparently mulling over whether to declare a global health emergency so it sounds like it's not far off being a big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5223 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 (edited) Yeah just read up myself - apparently the CCP had been pretty indifferent to it for about a month, so the idea that this is precautionary seems doubtful. I suspect many more than 17 have died and in fairness, quarantining an entire city is fairly extreme. It is absolutely not beyond the Chinese government to level the whole city if it feels it has to, so we'll see how things develop i suppose.

Rayvin 5223 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 (edited) It did. Was just reading that the main reason this happens is because of their dedication to warm meat and wet markets. They don't chill their meat, disease passes far more easily as a result. Their populace determinedly sticks to it.

Gemmill 44881 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Aye I don't read them, I just thoroughly enjoy people getting annoyed that books or films aren't being made exactly to their specification. Having said that, this business of Lee Child deciding that he's had enough of writing Jack Reacher books, so his brother is gonna write them for him instead.... well that can fuck off. I've only read one on holiday once and haven't gone back but that is taking the fucking piss. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
