Exactly! He’s basically admitted they discussed how this could be used to their advantage. To even mention it shows he’s not appropriate to be PM. Whether he agrees or not is irrelevant
i think the thing is- all this is in the back of your mind and the problem is you get a twinge a cough or something and you will think the worse,i was bad last week with hot fushes etc but all gone now, who knows i may have had it and that might be it
Now that’s another subject and I tend to agree. I think posting stuff like that is utter garbage and shows as much lack of thought as anything else being posted on this thread.The number of posts on this thread where people are either insinuating or outright declaring that the government is deliberately doing nothing in order to cull a proportion of the population they don't care about is more than enough reason for me
I despise conspiracy theorists as well, and I agree that dumb panic reactions help no one, but as we explained this epidemic is an issue we're having right now and that should be taken seriously.I disagree because I think we are talking at cross purposes. I'm questioning the hysterical reaction to a low level threat in comparison to known risks in society. COVID can be managed and is being managed. The day it's over 3500 people will die through RTAs and no one will blink an eye.

First, to your second point: only a few people have insinuated that and they have been rightly shouted down if it was a subtle remark or their post has been removed outright if it went the way of farcical and absolutely inappropriate arguments for “population control” or “gene pool cleansing”. I can say that with absolute confidence as we mods have been identifying, discussing, and addressing them as necessary.I disagree because I think we are talking at cross purposes.

Mock all you want. You clearly are a pretty unpleasant person.
TBH i think we just have to accept at some point someone in the family unit is going to get it, how thats dealt with is another thing, i cant see familly isolation working in a 3 bed semi with one toilet and 1 kitchen it has fail all over it IMO, were getting mixed advice from sources and what the Government is doing just does not make sense to me, i think we will see major panic when the death total starts racking up in a few weeksI've definitely been moaning for three weeks to my wife about a scratchy throat and cough is now annoying.
As you say, might be reading too much into things, but don't want to expose wife and kids to anything like this.
In terms of not knowingly coming into contact with an infected person, this appears to be hole in the rationale from government?
My neighbours are young Chinese professionals who were in aeronautics at Manchester Uni, their curtains have been shut for days.
Spoke to him over the fence joking with him other day and said he had decided to work from home as a precaution, he is a regular traveller around Europe and China.
Yep weeks ago, the guy from Sainsbury's kindly offers to help in with our delivery shopping.
It's pissing down with rain and I thank him. Moans first day back and boasted how lucky he was to get a flight home... After skiing in Italy FFS.
I was pretty pissed about it but said nowt.
How the fuck does anybody know if they have come into contact with people who might already been infected?
Again, you have shifted your point to make it more valid, and I won’t argue the new “hysteria” point as I do agree with that.I think what you mean is it's not being managed in the way YOU would prefer. That is NOT the same as it not being managed. My original post was to highlight to difference in "reaction to threat" and that is not a fallacy. The threat to life is real and the populations reaction to government action to reduce it is real. The difference is the lack of hysteria.
Agreed. Shutting down now is completely unnecessary and would allow the crack heads to roam, then we’d have issues mate.I think what you mean is it's not being managed in the way YOU would prefer.

the army and police couldnt controll the numbers in that case, it would be every man for himself, a lawless society which could see you killed for your can of corned beeffor me the panic stations the governments over europe that they have setup are crazy and i can see rioting and looting very soon, if the uk and england follow the panic will happen faster and lock down will be even worst and the army will be called in and and people will be running riot and good luck with any laws

Are you implying that those calling out a false equivalency (including many health experts) that has been echoed in this thread for pages and pages are wearing tin foil?Agreed. Shutting down now is completely unnecessary and would allow the crack heads to roam, then we’d have issues mate.
I don’t think this lot have been stocking up on bog role, I think they’ve opted for the tin foil.
