Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

[Bruce Wayne]

I bet they all feel a bit silly now......

To be fair, people have had their senses dulled by furloughing so they're practically defenseless now to a nasty virus.

He hasnt a clue.

No he hasnt

Were you telling them to not bother listening to the Government's lies to protect them?

Yeah. And then the facts came down like a ton of bricks so I changed my view. That's how rationality works.

 

[Bungle]

A tenner. Job done.

Imagine openly admitting to supporting Everton though.

To be fair, his training in spotting those going into ICU for a bit of a kip was invaluable. Otherwise you'd have had lazy pen pushers treating the place like the Hilton.

Too far Dave

It is if you see it in isolation. The feller is chasing me all over the forum looking for a commendation and implying I have no comprehension of the sacrifices being made. I do. I REALLY do, and it's close to home. I dont need someone to spell it out to me, especially when my overall point is to criticise those heaping very sick people onto them in the first place.

And so will a lot of working class.

Working class does not = construction worker. It doesn't even = 'low skilled' (for lack of a better term!) jobs.

I'm working class. I can - when I do work - work from home.

My friends are all working class. Pretty much all of them - that haven't been furloughed - are working from home.

The project manager at the company where I used to work is definitely middle class. I know that he will have been on-site and has been for the last two weeks because that's when they went back to work (albeit following social distancing rules).

you’re just trying to confuse everybody now.....

 

[roydo]

Yeah. And then the facts came down like a ton of bricks so I changed my view. That's how rationality works.

So you based your opinion on absolutely nothing initially, told your front line (ICU/Respiratory) relatives it was all bollox, and they agreed with you?

Ok mate. Clueless.

A tenner. Job done.

Me going into England a little later.

The trick is knowing when to stop digging.

Suppose pen pushing might be accurate but it's bit less offensive than giving loved ones advice that could kill them and others. But I imagine, bring rationale people and frontline health workers, they will have followed advice from pen pushers like me who keep them and the public safe.

So far Dave you gone from advocating dangerous advice, to hoping for martial law and cavalry charges, to denigrating the NHS throughout this...I'm interested to know where is next on your rollercoaster?

I hear people are suggesting injecting bleach might work...

So take the high road if you understand the sacrifices and stop making it personal and just plain rude with belittling comments.

There's also a lovely ignore button that works wonders.

You're following in the honourable tradition of Fausto Coppi and Bernard Hinaux in the canon of working class professional cyclists.

 

[Zatara]

You've never heard of Andy Burnham?
Really?

And @peteblue who professes to know the in's and outs of UK and EU political institutions didn't know who he is either?

Even if you didn't know UK politics, as an Everton fan you should probably know who the guy is...

How does he impact my support of Everton?

 

[Toast]

Imagine openly admitting to supporting Everton though.

Imagine trusting Everton to make you something to potentially save your life ?
