Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

Actually @davek was calling for the complete shutdown of sport a few weeks before the lockdown if I remember correctly. Mind you I think that was more to do with stopping the RS winning the league...or his Chinese handlers were giving him a heads up......

In all honesty in January most public sector organisations were probably exhaling after holding their breath for so long about no deal Brexit preparations and working out what they would need to cut from this year's budget to meet the expected savings for 2021.

Have you been drinking ?

All I said to Nymzee was that wearing gloves in public is unnecessary and depending on the medical professional you ask can cause more danger of virus transmission.

You decided that as a result I was somehow going to cause a second wave that will kill millions, by repeating medical advice.

As others have said, you're a parody account at this point.

Nope. You censured @Nymzee, who errs toward caution: gloves on.

If he wants to take a belt and braces approach to staying virus free why on earth would you encourage him not to?

We have enough 'individuals' in this country who cant be arsed to put a face covering on because they're selfish tits, but you've added to it.

My concerns with folk wearing them is they get a false sense of protection, dont sanitise them after use, and in many cases, the masks they get from B&Q are medically, poor.

All true plus add in the issue of taking them on and off properly. But virtually everything I’m reading still suggests that the benefit still outweighs all those issues.

Mongolia 1 - 0 British Banana Republic

Banana republic definitions :

American clothing line owned by Gap

In political science it refers to a politically unstable country dependent on exportation of limited resource produce such as bananas or minerals

In economics, a banana republic is a country with an economy of state capitalism, whereby the country is operated as a private commercial enterprise for the exclusive profit of the ruling class

Disposable gloves shouldn’t be washed and reused Joey, the big clue is in their name

Quite a lot of evidence now that mask wearing has a decent cost benefit both at an individual level and a societal one.

@RAFUH iirc you previously advised against gloves but recommended mask - that correct?

No real benefit for gloves as they will get covered in virus and then spread it same as your bare hands.
Hand washing or sanitizer for in between being able to wash is best.

I hand sanitize before walking into a building so I don’t carry anything in and hand sanitizer after leaving before entering my car so I don’t take anything home. Wash up once home.

I amazed we can't just get these rolled out to people, who could then crack on and visit relatives etc.

Aint they those dodgy ones from China?

Thats what I do. Socially distance, dont talk to anyone, dont linger, pick stuff off shelves literally with the tip of my fingers.

Banana Republics are tied to the shirt tails of Washington and usually ruled by tin pot dictators...


...if the cap fits.

Yeah I’d like to claim I get mine each year to nobly protect the vulnerable but in reality it is because a) my doctor is a woman on a mission to get everyone vaccinated for anything there is a vaccine for b) I’m a big baby when ill.

I don’t have a choice. Required for work as are all the standard vaccines.
I‘d get it anyway, but that won’t rile up the FREEEDDDOOOM crowd
