Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

[davek]

Just asking where you get them from. 68000 deaths? Official, ONS, circa 43000. Well over 1000 infections. Is that down to more and more tests, or the virus spreading? 100s a day dying? Official in the 30s.

Like I understand if you still havnt grasped how the numbers are collated, they have not made it easy to be fair.

 

[davek]

68000 Covid deaths? Their source was what?

Nope, the daily infection rate now as opposed to just prior to lockdown: 1000+ versus 900.

Dave is right though. He was telling us all its a scam not many months ago ffs.

That said, I personally will not change my behaviour any time soon, and I also agree with him that the folk who are gagging for a pint or a bench press, (thats a gym thing yeah?), can display an astonishing selfishness.

I also think that Matthew in Newquay isnt a nosebleed. Anyone who is lucky enough to have a guaranteed income, doesnt have to go work, and doesnt have to fret about the health of their own household perhaps dont quite grasp the concerns and fears of those that have non of that security.

Given the fuss made of it during Brexit, the gym market in the UK is over 3x the size of the fishing industry. A £5 billion industry.

firstly a population of scallies hey , I’ll just leave this definition of a snob here .

1 someone who thinks they are better than people from a lower social class – used to show disapproval Stop being such a snob. I don’t want to sound like a snob, but I thought she was vulgar.

2 someone who thinks they are better than other people because they know more about something – used to show disapproval.


Secondly you don’t mean your last paragraph do you because you like to go out on your bike and sneer at those You consider beneath you . So what you mean is

“JUST STAY INDOORS AND HAVE SOME DISCIPLINE, FFS. UNLESS YOU’RE DOING WHAT I’M DOING . I’VE APPROVED THAT ACTIVITY “

It's not snob versus working class, it's working class versus lumpenprole.

[BlueStevie35]

Just been announced new R rate in Germany 1.79

Can’t be right that, thought they were kings of how to deal with lockdown?

I have a degree of sympathy with dave’s point of view just like I do with people who want to go out . It’s a chaotic situation and certain parts of it are nuanced.

Have the government made a balls of a lot of it , absolutely. is it a scary situation for many yes . Do some people need to get back to work to pay bills or others need medical treatment certainly and are some not at all concerned and gagging for life to return to normal of course .

it just feels anyone who thinks it’s a one size fits all is kidding themselves .

We were testing a few doctors and nurses in March.

If the outdoor party that’s currently on the go in Lark Lane is anything to go by, you’ll be staying indoors for a long time.

These people are doing Joihnsons job for him. He doesn't give a flying one about infections. He's had his (apparently). He wants the cash rolling into government coffers and his mates pockets.

Anyone placing themselves in harms way to achieve that for him and getting infected he doesn't give a flying one. Thos people should be protecting themselves and familys, not helping to spread a virus.

FFS, THIS IS A PANDEMIC.

 

[Harryflashman]

It's not snob versus working class, it's working class versus lumpenprole.

a snob nevertheless. Change the word lumpenprole to workshy in that sentence and you’re re a Tory . It’s sad

Quite. Now, we are in the realm of localised action; like that R rate in Germany is almost certainly down the out break at a meat factory for example. Isolate there, and in a week or two, its back to "normal"

It doesn't matter, look at the comparison with orther nations. We are still in the teeth of a first wave.

FFS, what is the matter with you? You personally as I understand it are shielding. That'll last forever if we dont have responsible government and responsible citizens.

 

[davek]

All your words, not mine.

We'll see in a few weeks who's right and wrong on this. Hopefully you and the rest of the "get out for a bevvy lad" lot are, cos that'll mean there's been no massive second wave.

 

[davek]

So the Covid deaths are circa 42000 then?

Deaths over and above normal - 68,000.

Join the dots up yourself.

No better than Benefit Street.
