COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[sir baconface]

The prime minister unveiled the changes in a post on his official Twitter account - where he has removed the "stay at home" slogan from his handle.

Junior doctor Julia Simons tweeted: "Please can someone tell Boris coronavirus is not a physical assailant? You can't stay alert to single-stranded RNA

Oh yeah, Julia, that’s a much more punchy slogan.

If Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland decide to extend their lockdown indefinitely, who pays for it ?

We the English do as always, Sturgeon stays in Lockdown economy broken population on par with Yorkshire and fucking thinks she can dictate, love the Scots hate the SNP.

Fair play mate I understand your concerns, I also agree that it is not an accident for the slogan, however I stick by what I said in that the same fuckwits that don't know what lockdown means will not understand what Alert means, which by the look of it is 60% of the current posters here, stay safe bud.

Same to you sir.

Agree entirely, there will be a bunch of twats who absolutely rip the piss out of it.

Street parties. Family gatherings in the back garden with a nice bbq. Parks packed to the rafters. People out walking to the fucking moon and back.

Oh and cyclists. Fucking cyclists!

I think use of the word alert is entirely by design. People have different interpretations of what that looks like, and I think government well know that some people will absolutely move out to start seeing family etc. That is not an accident as I see it. At some point we need to see what happens when people start moving around some before we restart the economy.

I think it’s a very, very clever strategy but not one I agree with, at this moment in time.

3 weeks down the line. I’d be all in. (assuming we’d bottomed out)

That summary sheet posted earlier had "if", "may", "possible", "limit" - it certainly could be interpreted by some as "I can do more or less what I like now", which I find a bit concerning. Whether that's the deliberate strategy time will tell but if the R0 rises significantly it could prove to be costly.

73% of Scotland's care homes have Covid-19 cases. Yes, she's played a blinder.
If you're not alert you can easily catch it. As I wasn't when I went to the doctors surgery for ACL physiotherapy

The role of devolved governments seems to be to leak UK government announcements, claiming they thought of it first, while adding no fcukin value.

Obviously it isn’t as they are doing it differently.

Why would anyone want to go to the pub and buy takeaway booze?
Beer not cheaper in supermarket?

Just found that on the 21/03 the govt said pubs could not sell alcohol even on a takeaway basis.https://www.questmedianetwork.co.uk...-longer-serve-alcohol-even-on-takeaway-basis/

I saw it and the way they ganged up on mcfc1632 - disgusting

Not as disgusting as your vile PMs.

It's quite obvious why the slogan is being changed: People are staying at home to protect the NHS and are dying as a result.
You still have to be alert as to what you do but people have to start going to hospital for normal health care and we have to start to open up the economy as well or we're all fucked.
I hope Boris explains it as such. We need to change the mindset.

True, I would love it if he uses the adjective or is it a noun ,"fucked" just once tonight.
Or pro noun.

Pair of cunts plus the other dogs in their pack, PM each other when their current agenda gets no replies then jump on a thread that is currently popular... See the VE thread on Friday.

Talking of pairs of cunts, do you and WW fancy taking this non covid related drivel to PM?
