COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[St.Pauli support]

Im not sure anyone thinking a day at the beach with thousands of other people is in any way being responsible.

In terms of spreading the virus? How exactly should that work?

To bloody true.
And yet Whitty, Vallance and the rest of the Quatermas team are STILL peddling the bollox that it doesnt effect transnission much. I call that out as complete bollox.The science is now clear and the figures are fucking stark.
Immediate near universal (80%+) adoption of moderately (50%) effective masks could prevent on the order of 17–45% of projected deaths over two months of an epidemic.

Why not simply tell the truth and they didn't want the UK public grabbing all the surgical marks that were available because the NHS needed them? Most would have taken that message to heart.

100% agree. If they had a proper PSA, explained how to make cotton masks at home etc, I reckon 90% would listen. And we'd have considerably less deaths and considerably less need for constant restocking of PPE in hospitals too. They've got it categorically wrong on this and have blood on their hands.

Well firstly id say don't go to the beach, but clearly people think thats a good idea. Secondly if you get to the beach and see its packed with thousands of people, turn round, go home and stay safe. Its not complicated at all, in fact id say its very simple.

I watched a clip of Southend beach last night and it just made my heart sink. It was like a scene from benidorm in mid july. The conclusion i drew from it is that a lot of people genuinely don't give a fuck and screw the consequences to the rest of the country.

And many of those on the beach will be the most avid virtue signalers.

"Right, it's a lovely day. Let's all take a trip to the beach."

I can probably trace nearly ever time I've gotten ill - back to my workplace or another crowded indoor space.

While it's not ideal, please don't compare the two. Your chances of getting the virus at the beach, are significantly less than in cramped office or train.

Now is that beach discussion about virus spread or morale? I'm not sure.

I get the point, but keep in mind many thousand people died while we celebrated City wins
over the last years and years. We just didn't think about it.

My heart goes for any single medical worker around the world.
First of all they need more support in PPE. Still.
And let's not talk about Brazil or Mexico...

Nope not often, and certainly not for a pint of Greenalls bitter which was what was on offer in my days of regular attendance. Even pubs I have walked out of if it involves waiting for ages for a pint. I cannot even begin to understand the daft twats who at Xmas not only queue for half an hour to get in the boozer, to then queue for even longer to get a beer. Daft Twats, oh and having done all the queuing then get financially raped upon coughing up for your drinks. What a load of bollocks that is too.

It's women mate. Dithering at the bar. Unable to get barman's attention. Waiting a fucking age to get served then wondering what they might have, then fucking about looking for their purse. Know what you want, get the barman's attention, tell him, have your money ready.

70 cases out of circa 1.4m is 0.005%. That is far better than the 0.8% amongst the PL. Bad news for the 70 who have the virus but if the world has to stop for 0.005% then we all might as well go to Dignitas

On verra...

Missus runs 2 schools, both academies, both early doors...out of 81 teachers they have 16 who can actually come in. But not at the same time. Staggered to minimize the risk. No actual curriculum will be taught. Max 8 to a class. no games. No toys. Not even the child's proper teacher in most cases.

800 kids, around 80 are saying they are coming in.

And the point of all this is?

To show, "we are doing something".

 

[johnnytapia]

80 young kids getting an education ?

You missed the bit about not being taught a curriculum.
