Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

[Bruce Wayne]

Its the Coronavirus thread. The people who die due to the coronavirus are part of that discussion.

Im really confused by this argument.

People can talk about it, and how crap we are, until the cows come home if they want. I'll just call them miserable sods for doing so. If that's alright like?

Don't virtue signal Dave. Firstly, you wouldn't be able to tell me a single one of the people who have died this week's name, much less anything about them and their life. Please don't pretend you're leading a crusade for their wellbeing. Secondly, you've spent much of the past few years deriding large swathes of the population, whether as unthinking serfs or self-serving spivs, purely for the temerity of not voting for your beloved socialist utopia. That you now pretend to care for these people when their sole purpose for you is to provide you with a stick to beat the government with is quite telling.

I don't think anyone would claim this isn't an unpleasant and extreme circumstance. I don't think anyone would claim we shouldn't try and be as informed as possible so that we are as well placed as possible to get through this as best we can, both as individuals and as a community. Quite what you, on here, and randoms on Twitter think they're achieving by shouting DEATH and MURDERERERS at every opportunity is beyond me. You're not affecting any meaningful change. You're not informing people. You're certainly not entertaining us. What's the point of it all?

In fairness, he’s turned his attentions to the Facist who’s in charge of the Labour Party, so that’s some relief.

Going back to work next week may well be a bit of a shock to some of these folk who have flocked to the beaches.

[marnie]

And they're dealing with unruly crowds on Formby beach.

Can't help but feel there's a bit of an "end of school holidays" mentality with the people who've flocked to the beach. They're either on holiday, don't work ( students, retired, unemployed, whatever ) or on furlough.

If they're currently on furlough, and due back at work next week, then they're probably having a bit of light relief while being paid by the government for pretty much the last time. Probably not the smartest move to end up on a packed beach, but I can see why they did it.

Self employed have to wait till August for a second payment. The first was what, April?

That said, quite a number of SE have managed to do some work for actual money. But plenty havnt.

Oh I can see why they did it, it’s bloody 32 degrees today !

Personally I can’t think of anything worse than being on a rammed beach, surrounded by blerts and not being able to use a toilet, knowing everyone is using the sea as the bog.

I was about to agree and admonish folk for being tits.

Then realised its 6.30 pm on a Thursday, (?), and I am watching Burnley v Watford with crowd noise.

I really am not in a position to call anyone a tit am I?

Ah yes, I heard he'd sacked the blessed Ms Long-Bailey today.

I'm afraid since Dave personally ordered all the gyms to shut, it's not as pert as it once was.

Pathetic response.

You're bored / irritated by someone pointing out the continuing mass death and now try and push the spotlight on me - someone who has been advocating non-compliance with measures that weaken the collective effort to defeat Covid19.

You need to hang your head in shame.

"Wheelers"
