What about the old people others care about?
They don't care about me when they vote, I don't care about them when I spread viruses tbh.
...slightly sinister.
Getting worn down by this world mate.
Well I'll keep my grandparents away from you.

Wow.
Wow are you president Trump by any chance. lol
Sorry to hear this Prev.
How does it work in Ireland, can you sign on? does you're company give you severance or some sort of stipend?
Just wondering what systems are in place for this.
No bother if you don't want to go over it.
Good luck!
Ah yeah, can sign on in the meantime, but haven't been working there long enough to get anything. Recruitment and sales is a cruel old world sometimes, but I'll be fine, thanks mate
Let’s not generalise that all older people are right wing trolls.

Yes can see a lot of people looking for work after this all shakes out. A lot of businesses will slim down or go bust, but after the storm things will pick up - companies will look to fill the void so being in recruitment won't be the worst place to be.

The sociopath responses above about about old people and spreading the virus as revenge for the way they voted are despicable. Shame on you.
Just on the subject of South Korea and China 'winning' the battle. Do we all understand that whatever the daily numbers this is not going away? China can put 56 million people under quarantine, South Korea can test 200k people and both those measures can and have helped, but when those conditions are lifted there will be more outbreaks, because it's rapidly becoming endemic. Angela Merkel has just said she expects 70% of the populace to get this.
There's likely little that any one political leader in any one country could do to stop this. If we shut everything down now or if we never shut anything down, the likelihood is that 70% of us will get it too.
There's two things the govt can do, try and delay and smooth out the curve so the NHS isn't completely overwhelmed and try to keep the most vulnerable free from it, which will entail changes to their lives which for most people are simply unsustainable.
Delay is the best we can hope for whilst, we have to hope that everything possible is going on beneath the surface to give the health service the resources they're going to need once this really takes hold.
Also I think cultural changes will have to take place. This focus on hygeine. Making it unacceptable to cough and sneeze in public without using a tissue or one's arm. Not showing up for work if you've clearly got a cold and not getting barracked from your boss if you do. More working from home. More information on how to build a healthy immune system, how to eat well, improve your lifestyle.
Get the message out that now would be a really good time to quit smoking, reduce your vaping habit, cut down on alcohol, make better food choices, get some exercise etc. Anything to make people better capable of fighting this off when it comes, then those people can help the others when they get it and so on.
Particularly worried about friends in the health service. Medical workers in China were vulnerable to this virus due to the amount of exposure, shortage of equipment and fatigue.

This is the crux of their plan/hopes for me. Slow it down so the hospitals can deal with people.
