Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

Some people stockpiling may have serious anxiety issues, find this rush to laugh at people a bit mean

The bulk buying of bottled water is even more odd than the bog roll purchasing.

In Spain I can understand it as you often can’t drink the tap water. Here in the US seems crazy.

 

[neil999]

yeah, but they are Italians.....

Apparently some of them were gesticulating

Does anyone think Corona will keep mutating until it becomes even more contagious and deadly and basically decimates the global population, bringing about a post-apocalyptic society of survivors who must fight for access to resources?

Everyone will have to fight for food, except for a small band of people whose bodies have managed to get nutrition out of the thought their club were denied the Premier League title by a corrupt FA. They'll be almost unkillable, like sharks except if you manage to tell them that it happened to clubs during the wars they'll starve to death.

(Not aimed at you before I start)

Why? People don’t want to live in fear. It’s a horrible narrative that’s formed in the past few weeks that we should be afraid of everything and everyone. Up until today there’s been more people killed on the road than there has by this virus, yet people still get in their cars and drive to the supermarket to panic buy crap they don’t actually need.

This country, perhaps even the world, seems to have been overcome by this very odd notion that individuals need to become these ingratiating beings for the good of others. Sorry, but it’s not my responsibility to curtail what I do for the fear of infecting someone by proxy somewhere down the line. Follow decent hygiene and all the rest, fine but to say I should be happy to give up my liberties and way of life so that someone at risk doesn’t become critically ill 6 or 7 infections down the line? That’s mental. It’s up to them to look after themselves. It’s like taking cars off the road, booze off the shelves and anything more Calorie loaded than a carrot.

I don’t give a flying one if your granny is 91 and has asthma. Tell her to stay the eff in her house until the threats gone. The rest of us can carry on living.

Can't believe this you ignorant pig.

Hang tight in yer mars box room lad and hopefully by the time this all blows over your bollocks will have dropped and you will understand a bit more about how the world works.

Because bog roll does not fall from the sky for free.

It rains about 10 days a year here

Haha. Yeah alright mate go and buy some more bog roll and pretend your making a difference.

 

[witchdoc187]

This !

It rains approx 10 times a year here. I've got bottles to fill at the local spring. Supermarkets here are about to trade on restricted hours meaning most likely huge queues and no fresh food. To not be prepared will be at least a major inconvenience. The local shop has already closed its doors

Sorry mate, I was only talking about the UK.
Didn't even think about countries with poor tap water.
Feel bad now like.

Thank you. I also have a 3 year old son and my nearest decent sized supermarket is about 20miles away and has already closed its doors

 

[Sentinel]

The supply chain and system for food into the supermarkets is pretty robust mate

It is. At the moment. But people prepare for disaster. It's not unreasonable. Truck drivers get sick, any transportation is not immune for that matter. Any weakness in the chain and everything grinds to a halt.

Is it warranted? Who knows. Within two weeks we could all be back chatting about the season. Are you that comfortable in knowing that is all going to fly over. I don't know, best to edge on the side of caution. Just in case.

 

[roydo]

I dont understand why anyone in the UK buys bottled water anyrate. Maybe some areas have horrid water I guess, but down here its sound, and yet bottles of it fly off the shelf.

 

[Mutzo Nutzo]

I've got 2 elderly parents both with heart conditions. My wife's mum has an auto immune disease so excuse me for being worried.

I hope more restrictive movement orders get issued soon and the it's game on for the army or police to beat the [Poor language removed] crap out of ignorant fuckheads like you.

Yeah well you don't have to feel bad. We've been advised to stay in our homes and the local supermarket is empty. I'd be surprised if the UK isn't on lockdown soon too tbh as they appear to be falling inline with the rest of Europe. I think we're just a little bit further ahead right now

 

[Catfish Blues]

uhhhhh UK, we aren't even this dumb

Although no other country is suggesting it, I'd be very surprised if most of them don't think that the end result will be much the same where they are.
