Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

[zzr45]

I haven't seen Witty suggest we should cough in an old person's face tbh.

Didn’t you know? Unless you have sequestered yourself in the loft with a bog roll throne you might as well as kill your elderly neighbor with your bare hands and wear their face as a mask.

What a morning

The only certainty in life is death. Yeah it's tragic when a loved one dies, especially when you're by their side when they go, but I've suffered enough deaths in the family over the past few years that I've largely become desensitised to it.

You should never become desensitised to a family death that’s just downright odd.

I'm just saying, you could at least wait until they're in a deep rem cycle

Yes because that’s exactly what I said isn’t it.

didn't think this thread would be this busy early Sunday, nobody goes for lovely breakfast I reckon?

Good Lord preserve us!!!

Arlene Foster made no attempt to hide her disapproval as Michelle O'Neill said schools should be closed

Foster, O'Neill miles apart on how to tackle Covid-19

They sat just a metre apart, but the approach by Arlene Foster and Michelle O'Neill on how best to tackle coronavirus has them miles apart.

Hasn't she said when the schools close it will be for at least 16 weeks, so she is prepared for it to happen, but probably disagrees when it should start from.

It's why I say that we should all take personal responsibility and not be forced into it.

Some people are just not responsible, would be nice if everyone thought of others over themselves. You can see from the panic buying how myopic we can be.

He's in an odd mood this morning.

He accused me of inciting panic on the forum.

I didn't take offence though, hardly worth it when we only have weeks to live.

And do you think it is the plan we should welcome?

A nice frandly herd

Haha no, it's incredibly risky.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

You really believe people care enough to do this?

Dunno. I'll be asking our elderly neighbour if they need anything later (apart from imminent death obviously)

I think when people start telling others how worried they should be over this when they don’t know anything themselves the thread needs closing.

Turned into a right prick since he lost his mod mask and can post what he wants.

That wasn’t the question was it? You’ve made a load of references to the situation in the UK like it directly effects you, when that really isn’t true at all.

In essence, you have stirred the pot to create drama online. You are a Drama Queen.

Fortunately we both live in democracies. I live in the states but I still have family back home. Being critical of government policy here or in the UK doesn't make me a "drama queen". It's called discussion, debate. If you want I could munch some grass or in ten years you could retire me to "voluntary" isolation.

Either way we all need to face up to what's happening here eventually.

Via telephone or knocking on their door after being around your nurse wife? Out of curiosity.

It's more that it's highly contagious and that it's far more likely that those specific people will get sick and die if society doesn't pull it's finger out.

The next one may well be lethal to more people

There is, but people are being told to stay at home if they are ill. If people do that the whole issue of it being more contagious really becomes a bit null. I don’t know if that’s common practice, but that’s what I do anyway if I’m ill in anyway.

My old man survived a cancer scare last year but I still won’t visit if I’m coughing, sneezing etc. The whole thing feels like we’ve discovered viruses for the first time.

I was planning on giving her a French kiss tbh. Bad idea?
