Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

[Sentinel]

Some of you guys need reality checks. Placing your hands across your ears and screaming. "Bah wah wah, I can't hear you" Is adolescent and dangerous.

You can't have democracy in an echo chamber.

Mate this is the Coronavirus thread,what are you on about?

My point is you are making a couple of logical errors here, in my opinion. You are claiming that your favoured approach, which is currently untested anywhere on earth during this crisis, is better than the response currently being used. You have no evidence for this other than you think you are right.

The second is that by calling for it on a football forum you are somehow making it more likely to be adopted. In truth you have done nothing to hasten the formation of a national government. Unless, and I may be mistaken, you've been writing en masse to law makers and building up public support.

This would lead me to the conclusion that it's more about feeling that you are right than actually helping anybody on a practical level.

and not an effective way of protecting ourselves from reading your meltdowns either.

What's going on with you in the last two days buddy? You seem to think the police are going to crush us. Dont you think we should be at home??

I'm the one who called for cross party, bi-partisanship emergency government, weeks ago mate. What did you call for?

Yeah, listen to government advice. How is that working out.

I posted ages ago that I’d changed my stance due to events which occurred. No problem with that.

Limiting total posts per day on a per user basis is nothing to do with controlling viewpoints or limiting free speech, it’s to stop a useful thread being overrun by people dominating the conversation. You’re just further proving my point. Having a multi page thread about the holocaust being a prime example.

Great. And what did you do to speed up testing?

I'm not having a meltdown mate, I'm just trying to give some practical advice and call out some of the BS. You however are just trying to look cool in front of your mates.

What practical advice are you giving? It just looks like a paranoid rant.

I've been calling for testing and personal protection both in my workplace and on here. What have you done?

Maybe reading isn't your strong point but read back. The issue of masks for example.

And? I was stating that the Chinese Government is just as much a threat as Nazi Germany was. Do you disagree?

In fairness he called for your number of posts to be restricted, which is looking like a far more worthy cause than any of your suggestions so far.

Sweden and Germany appear to be coping more positively than other country's. They would seem to be more prepared on a number of fronts...

Better funded healthcare system(s) and in Sweden at least a much lower population.

I pointed out Sweden's approach as actually seeming like a sensible one yesterday though obviously I know they could be in for a spike in the coming days.

Germany have a lot of people in critical condition but it looks like their confirmed case rate is starting to flatten out, which is obviously a good sign.

I enjoy your pithy and comedic posts. But you're out of your depth here mate. You've added nothing to this thread and the fact is. I post during three hours, out of 24. I have to sleep and go to work but you go on and create a false narrative that I pollute this forum.
