COVID-19 — Coronavirus

On the off-chance you’ve got a valid point to make, why don’t you try to stay civil?

“Off-chance”. Please. What do you disagree with then? Go on.

It’s difficult to be civil when you have tried that already, and have family members at severe risk to the ridiculous behaviour from the 25% of our nation that are refusing to change. If it helps get the point through to him, it’s job done.

So you think the entire world has got in a flap over a bit of seasonal flu do you? Thank God our PM isn’t arsed about it either and is having the weekend off from talking to the public.

There is a point there though. He states that nobody seems too concerned about the flu (despite it killing thousands every year) and everybody has replied with dismissive comments about 'a bit of flu' which kind of makes his point.

Why miss an opportunity to score cheap points?

nothing to do with scoring points, everything about proving the point directly in line with the part I was quoting.

our government ( and others), be it under policy guided advice or not. Is directly contradicting the advice of the WHO. Who are trying to save millions of lives around the world.

we have learned nothing from China and Italy. In 10/14 days time out doctors will be triaging who lives and dies.

If we ( everyone ) had been more aggressive like the WHO advises we could have contained it. If that failed then if we ( the UK ) pushed it back to summer when seasonal flu is over freeing up more beds to help keep people alive.

Right now our actions are to do pretty much nothing.

just been to do our weekly shop in a big tesco

NO…..tea bags, dry pasta, loo rolls, tinned food, soup, eggs, fresh meat, long life milk, cleaning clothes, bleach, hand soap,

and signs on the tills saying dont abuse the staff

I have never seen anything like this before.

Just sums up society in general, bunch of selfish cunts. I really feel sorry for the elderly stuck at home alone with the TV on and being scared shirtless and unable to get any provisions

we seem to need a facts thread, because this has just turned into partisan twaddle that should be in the politics sub-forum.

But it doesn’t get the point through. And nor does it buy you an answer.

You were on about austerity, not WHO advice.

Try reading the thread of the conversation before commenting.

And you try re-reading your post. All four words of it. “Austerity did exactly that.”
