Absolutely, been saying it for weeks but you get criticised for not trusting professionals that have decades of experience. I’m making better decisions than them from my living room. I don’t care what experience they have. They are delivering reactionary half-baked measures that will not slow this anywhere near enough. You would think it was just a normal day today. Millions are not listening to them, it’s staggering.Watching this and can’t help but feel our guys have been pressured to follow this line of thinking.
They are now all saying what we’ve been saying for weeks on here, it’s like not only are we 2 weeks behind Italy in cases and deaths but also our official knowledge is that far behind too.
Fucking disturbing.
They are getting vouchers by the sound of it.Nope, read his first line again.
Well I'm sure I have it Seb, so am self isolating, but am still producing food resources for the local community, I dont see why everyone can't do the same?Sorry, I was referring to my experience of health workers avoiding testing and organisations managing the testing avoiding testing asymptomatic health workers to prevent them from being removed from the pool providing care to infected people based on limited staffing and resources.
But, to your point, I am in almost exclusive isolation as contracting the virus for me has a high risk of severe complications and death, unfortunately. I know there are many others on BM that are in similar positions.
A vaccine won’t stop it if it’s still in you but dormant, will it?
Some big rumours circulating stating UK shutdown tonight or tomorrow night - anyone else heard this?
Apparantly leaked from the army
I don’t believe the figures in China. No way only 3,000 + died

No mate open for meals for any that need it.Thought it was shut?
And to properly assess rates/durations of acquired immunity, which is *incredibly* important to mitigation/suppression of the pandemic.Antibody tests is progressing fast,game changer to get those numbers to be able to see who has had it and are immune
From a selfish point of view I hope all public sector workers who over the coming months are going to be tested to the limit particularly nurses get recognition with big pay rises after this, we’ve born the brunt of austerity and now this. If this shows us anything all those cuts have come home to roost. This is more than likely to happen again and we need to be more prepared next time, cancel hs2 and crap like that.Italy's death total will likely surpass that of China's tomorrow.
My heart goes out to medical staff around the world.
All schools to shut from Friday bud.
I am confused, mate, as I am not saying anything to contradict that sort of effort to contribute?Well I'm sure I have it Seb, so am self isolating, but am still producing food resources for the local community, I dont see why everyone can't do the same?
I hope they’re taking the necessary precautions?No mate open for meals for any that need it.
Wrong again.He said the UK schools will be shutting, the only caveat is that emergency workers children will still go to school.
Ah just my part Seb, am still getting eggs, milking cows etc.I am confused, mate, as I am not saying anything to contradict that sort of effort to contribute?
Or perhaps I am taking your posts too seriously?
My mindset is a bit serious today, so I will probably be a bit to earnest right now.
All food thoroughly cooked etc, don't worry.I hope they’re taking the necessary precautions?
It’s the sort of thing that small communities should be doing.
I'd wager at least 30 per cent of schools will remain open as a result of the very specific criteria the government have exempted.
My wife is a SEN teacher, looking after vulnerable kids, those on the spectrum and everything in between.
Basically teachers being told to sacrifice herself for the greater good, which I do understand.
My own view is the entire country should be on lockdown for the next fortnight at least, no exceptions barring essential workers.
As far as I can see, the only people making any type of sacrifice so far is our front line medical professionals.
It's not even started for the rest of us yet?
