COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[DRINKLEVEDRY]

It couldn't be that difficult, could it? Test ten random people at a tube station, test ten MPs, test ten blood donors (they're just asking the usual "do you feel well"), ten air crew, ten people in a town with few confirmed cases, ten in Brum, ten in Manchester, ten in Liverpool, ten in Ambridge (high risk as the pub is still open) - all obviously just sample jobs and places - and you'd have some clue as to prevalence.

Came back from fuertaventura last week mate and was sent to east Midlands small airport was fully expecting some sort of check but nothing.

I heard somewhere it doesn't really effect people with no underlying issues

That is not right,there is a young fit guy who ran a marathon just before he got it,ended up in hospital

This disease could come to destroy civilisation, if it mutates purposefully; and we, as a species, created the fucker, one way or the other.

No and no.

We need to use this as a wake up call, though I doubt we will.

Yes and yes.

 

[DRINKLEVEDRY]

you cant do anything more than admire the Spanish,when they say your inside they do just that,ive had the cams on in tenerife where we regular go and not a soul abouy,seriously i cant see it happening here there are far to many knobheads

Correct Marco I was in fuertaventura for the lockdown and it was a lockdown and the way the Canarians went about it was like ducks to water.

We've been fucking with nature too much. She’s fighting back.

People give out about religion all the time but this notion that mother nature fights back is even more nonsensical.

This crisis has really shown how many employers don’t give a crap about their employees.

Millions of people forced to go in or threatened with reduced pay or being let go

 

[aguero93:20]

Sad to hear you are sick. You are my favourite poster on here. That is probably more sad.

Lol, cheers Tony.

That might give you a clue but I highly doubt it could be called a scientific representative sample. When they get the 3.5 million test kits that are on the way then mass testing for who has it and, importantly, who has had it is a game changer.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

No and no.

It’s perfectly possible, although unlikely. You cannot say it’s impossible.

Surely we did, either by our actions or our behaviour as a species.

The BBC have announced a schedule of shows to bring the nation together. Thats me off to throw myself from the nearest high building. Peter Crouch, Graham Norton and that Malone cjoirmaster idiott along with Dion Dublin. Been nice knowing you

The queue will be fucking massive; make sure that you social distance. Nothing like being irresponsible when topping oneself.

Because you don’t believe such a thing exists, presumably?

It will pass, mate. Just do what you can control and keep you and your family safe.

Spain is getting hammered. In 2-3 days they will have Italian numbers.

Of course it does,nature has a fine balance for a reason

 

[toffee balls]

Ha hope youre well mate

All good pal.

 

[johnnytapia]

Any advantage we had as an island was cancelled out as we just let anybody fly in from all over the world included 2,000 from the madrid hotspot for a CL game

When this eventually settles there will be umpteen reports and all, without exception, will say that the UK allowing flights in/out was tantamount to murder. I look at the skies every time a plane passes (no, I'm not from Burnley) and wonder how the fuck it's still happening.

In China they're offering 100 Yuan per kilo.

what could possibly go wrong?

Spain isn't that far out of facism, they're used to being told what to do. Thankfully the youth have also got on board. I went to the supermarket today for the first time in 13 days and it was a joy. Nearly brought a tear to my eye to see how respectful everyone was. Gloves were obligatory and 75% of the people had masks on.
