I actually miss the arguments people used to have three or four weeks ago where people thought other people were crazy and negative.

It’s fucking frightening.
Yeah. The “it’s only a flu” brigade seem to have disappeared. Their attitude at the time is part of the reason why we’re in this situation now. Too many didn’t see the danger early enough.
 
Regardless of political affiliation or ideology the country still has to be kept running and it's systems kept in order and functioning.
These people are crucial to this.
They are equally important as the health workers, as are the police, and army and all institutions if the state. Otherwise there would be anarchy as well as a pandemic.
To keep going on about this, at a time like this is s bit churlish in my view.
Well that’s the nub of it. You think Charles is crucial to the functioning and order of the country - as important as health workers, police etc and I really don’t. Discussing it is only churlish if you take your view on his importance, I suspect. Just think what would happen if Charles wasn’t around to shake people’s hands. Suspect there would be anarchy.
 
You appear to swing wildly from post to post: supportive one minute, digging up political chestnuts the next.
I just reported on the question asked as i followed it on sky,i think he should of not just ignored it,anyway aside from herd immunity at the start and not shutting our borders to people coming in from hotspots i think they have done ok under the circumstances,at the time i was really angry we went our own way and not the way the WHO wanted us to go,i do think we have wasted our two advantages,time and being an island,only time will tell if we went the right way,i really like what the chancellor has done,he is very impressive,i can't forget the decimating of public services though ,most of it ideological but that is for another day,i don't want to derail

Remember i am all over the place because i have had it bad,there were times i was terrified and i am sure making even less sense than usual

Expert on sky tonite says you can wash your hands in cold water,it is the soap that kills
It

Having the three top men not doing it is careless
 
I had an interesting conversation with a woman i have worked with for several years, her husband is in the NHS. Today she told me some things that really scared me, Basically said that we are being managed information as if we knew the true extent of what is happening there would be mass panic.

Fair enough Karen. I actually thought better and deleted the post but you’d already picked it up. You have to be quick round here!

Without doubt pal Birmingham airport turned into a morgue for 12000
 
we are self isolating but today I came down with a cough and feel a bit light headed. Don't want to worry the wife as she is shit scared of getting it and thinks if she does it will be the end of her. Worrying times

What would be the point in panicking, it's not as if people can see the virus coming and run the other way.

I wouldn't be surprised about the managed info, governments try to do that in any major crisis with varying success.
 
The Chinese must be fucking bullshitting with their numbers. I am not having it that it just virtually stopped. What’s the score with the Russians? Are they bullshitting too.

Do you have paracetamol in? Take a couple now and in 4hrs time,dont take neurofen,just rest and have plenty of fluid and see how you go

Edit- anything with paracetamol in just don't take 2 seperate products that has it in
 
I know one day's data is never significant but if you flick through the new cases for Today v Yesterday on world-o-meter you will find that many of the European countries are seeing declines in their new cases:

I just thought I'd list them, and you can check if you're interested: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries

Italy declined
Spain declined
Germany declined
France declined
Switzerland up
Netherlands up
Belgium declined

Perhaps their total active cases are going up still but it does seem that there are signs across Europe that the heat has gone out of the European epidemic.
