COVID-19 — Coronavirus

Well it doesn’t look like anyone - Aer Lingus or anyone else - gives a flying fcuk on the evidence of that photo. WTF are they all doing? And why?

This has been the case all along and the reason people start thinking they are not being told the whole truth and wonder what the hell is going on. Planes still flying in packed like sardines while over 70's are cooped up indoors and the vast majority of the country is closed. Mixed messages.

And probably why nearly 1 month after the peak and 6 full weeks after lockdown, we still have 400 people dying every day. A 100% lockdown would have resulted in zero deaths per day at this point. I know that was never practicable, I am just putting it out there.

Aer Lingus Dublin to London, yesterday:

To me, this photo sums up the muddled thinking, not only by our authorities but by plenty of posters on here who get erections by slamming the “dickheads” and “cunts”.

Personally, I’m happy to bend the rules a little on exercise, knowing that a couple of outdoors sorties a day, maintaining a 2 metre distance, is safe enough.

Similarly, I accept that driving to a beauty spot for a walk, and then maintaining 2 metres distance, may not be kosher but isn’t really disastrous.

But to be allowed to sit on that plane touching elbows, with no masks and shared air con, is plain crazy. I wouldn’t do that if you paid me. What’s so important that those passengers want to take that risk? And why is it allowed?

I know New Zealand is a much smaller country but they seemed to manage it. It's a bit baffling to me that with a pandemic heading our way that was going to kill thousands and with advance warning we seemed to freeze like rabbits in the headlights. Then with the country in a lockdown thousand more were allowed to fly in and go on their merry way, no checks and no quarantine. Insanity.

Nope.

Still clinging?

So you are telling me if I am in a room with 10 infected people as opposed to 1.....my viral load will be the same?

the government are going to get an absolute hammering over the flight policy throughout this . There is no excuse.

Don't think he died

He didn't but the test swab could have been contaminated when it was retested.

I also don’t understand why the fuck the passengers are “happy” to subject themselves to such travel. Fucking mental.

US projection of lives lost in the US by 4th Aug has gone from 60,308 to 134,475. Why? Re-opening. They're also now describing this as the first wave which is ominous. This is from the Cuomo presentation (New York governor).

all the care we all take trying to avoid surfaces , can you imagine putting your things in one of those security trays and getting them out again. Filthy.
