COVID-19 — Coronavirus

Whenever I see ww1 and ww2 I always think of my ex wives.

Which one’s which?

And those were even more selfish than people were in WWI.

Mad how times change. Forget the Somme, we struggle with the thought of staying at home watching Netflix marathons for a few weeks...

I think they have picked a number probably deaths when they think right we have to get serious now with our actions.

I was calm until I started reading this thread after a few hours off. Pissed off again now, stupid cunts. Boris won’t give a fuck if he gets it, top spec medical care for him.

I think it’s reasonable to assume Johnson is following the received medical advice.

Been a ban on public gathering over 1000 and in many cases over 150 here in switzerland for 2 weeks. made fuck all difference. We have 815 cases reported.

Lockdowns. It needs to be done.

I am saying what actually happens is they discuss things in great detail and the govt decides on the final action so the chief medical officer may think stronger action should be taken but they have to speak with one voice. Give me a single reason outside of economics why all sports and social gatherings shouldn’t be stopped and how this would lead to more deaths?

Deputy Chief Medical Officer...

"In this country we have expert modellers looking at what we think will happen with the virus.

We've looked at what sorts of interventions might help manage this as we go forward and push the peak of the epidemic forward.

And in general, those sorts of events and big gatherings are not seen to be something which is going to have a big effect. So we don't want to disrupt people's lives.

So as a professional, I am absolutely delighted that we are following the science and the evidence. There are other things that we can do in this country and the timing of that is really important.

We need to get the timing, firstly on helping to stop the spread to continue to contain the virus as much as we can.

We have got very clear advice about when we should intervene and that's exactly what I think we should do"


Now, you may call me weird but I think I'd rather listen to people like this than other football fans.

Things went to shit after the Boer war

Which one?

It’s very important we are precise — the fate of our world depends on this analysis.

Dick on question time going with the PSG argument, bellends.

I assume you think the Chief Medical Officer is trying to protect the economy rather than protect the public too then.

The chief medical officers advice will be within a remit set out from the gov and will be 1 part of the advice process. Police, army etc etc will all be in the mix as well.

all we know for sure is we are handling it differently to others and in a way are very much against the global tactics the WHO are trying to lead.

How do you know it’s made no difference ?
