COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

COVID Rally USA style.



It really is worth scrolling through the thread to see just how utterly f*cking mental some people are.

Pointless polling when the message is stay at home. This is actually a poll of how well the current messaging has worked and I would say by the result that it's worked very well.

The messaging has only just changed to we have passed the peak despite the peak being the 8th April so give it a couple more weeks of good news messaging + time to put the economy back on track after a couple of weeks and the results will be very different.

Home thoughts from abroad are such beautiful poetry.
Thank you for your kind words.

Our Govt quite rightly knew that with the Chavs we have here we could not keep a lockdown as long as Spain. We did it at the last minute possible,to allow for the longest time. It still not may be enough. We've got at least a full month of the same lockdown IMO (with a few tweaks here and there, bit for the majority, the same)

People always say that it will be the chavs ignoring the lockdown. From what I have seen where I live it is older people that seem to think the rules don't apply to them. Not seen any groups of young uns.

They're not facts though. They are the deaths that have been reported by those countries but, as we know, different countries report in different ways and perhaps some are less 'reliable' in their reporting than others.

This idea that somehow those pesky Europeans are not to be trusted just won't die will it.

You vote Brexit by any chance?

I wasn't referring to the European states on the list (other than that some report in different ways).

The less 'reliable' ones I suspect are elsewhere (I was thinking particularly of Iran and China).

Fair enough. My mistake. Apologies

Lets see what happens, if cases surge again in Europe we are back to square one.

I think a shitload of hard work has been one, I don't think people want to risk undoing it at this stage.

A lot of controlling not a lot of suppression which is not a criticism. Sir Patrick Vallance was explaining the position at the outset but they've not touched on this since as it was highly contentious.

I know for a fact, myself and my colleges (NHS) are gearing up for at least another 12 months :/

better ways too track in this case are excess deaths. Removes all ambiguity from it.
