Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

[Tea_drinker]

It's not though is it, however, we've already gathered that you're a panicky 'kak your pants' sort. Whereas I'm the type of person who rides a motorbike in Thailand without a helmet despite the roads in Thailand being the most dangerous in the world.

I'm a risk taker too but doing that in Thailand is more like a suicide attempt!
Btw, road deaths in Thailand during songkran. Thatd also put this current frenzy of foolishness into perspective.

So by actually not refuting anything I've said, you actually think you validated your point?

No you're wrong. You're just so wrong on so many levels in regards to the traffic statistic.

I got it though, you can't really refute anything I said so you jusy throw out some random [Poor language removed].

Why not quote figures on lung cancer. That would make more sense. I did your job for you.

Instead why don't you go look up injuries in sports, playgrounds, due to age, those will all be higher so we must focus on that.

Did you ever interact with @Barry Rathbone on here? He was a mad climate change denier, got all his information from some randomer's webpage called wattsupwiththat.com, and would generally respond to every dissection of his deranged arguments with references to predictions made by Noel Edmonds 10 or 20 years ago. I'm not even making this up

I saw him running wild in a couple of threads and enjoyed the confusing conversations but he wasn't the type of hilarious character that draws me in.

The biggest challenge to this will be getting old people to stay indoors.

My partner has already expressed her doubt, she has an elderly grandparent who is very independent and she said she can’t imagine her staying in isolation.

Will the police start age checking people in the street ? Will people shame and abuse the elderly if they’re walking around ?

Uncharted territory

Anyway lads, I hadn't realised freshwater snails killed so many people so I'm just going to return to my regular life and demand my job back because this is just one big alarmist hoax. Lock the thread

....they may stop folk using elderly bus/travel passes to discourage mobility.

Not really the case, but you win. The guys with the gifs always lived life to the fullest lol. Keep talking about panicking but I'm still livin the same everyday.

You're just bitter and think you deserve a medal of honor or some ish because you had to quarantine.

Get over yourself.

What can I say? I just have a very low regard for my own life. I'd far rather die young and happy, than live a miserable existence as an old man before I die of more natural causes.

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

Exactly.

The point is though, given that the roads are statistically far more dangerous than this virus, nobody panics about using our roads. Yet, people, led by the clueless cretins in the media, are being driven into full on panic mode over this virus which is very dangerous.

Bit late in the day to start moaning about our UK media, it was fine when the majority got Brexit across the line or it was fine when it buried Miliband or Corbyn. And now it's come for you. I shrug my shoulders at the dispair.

The thread must stay, i haven't stopped laughing all morning. It's my new favourite actually. We should have done this ages ago.

Urm, what?

Lol I got stuff to do so I'm out of here for now, how much longer you stuck in it? Hope everything is all good when it's done and you can enjoy a few with some friends

 

[Walken]

Presumably then you'll be taking the initiative and will be isolating yourself for the next 6 months at least?

Why are you so weird?

Cheers pal. Sadly though, the thing I'm most looking I'm forward to is some fresh air.
