Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

[NilSatisOptimum]

Maybe a better use of this thread would be to ensure that @Joey66 @Barnfred 55 @Old Blue 2 and the various other older members of the community have the support they need?

Were they ever considered to part of the hurd immunity experiment many were advocating here this morning and yesterday?

I agree Joe. I know you have family around and stuff. Are you okay for getting food in?

ATM yes ......It will arrive here though not doubting that..... airports should have been closed down 6 weeks ago as soon as China broke the news one weeks gratis to get home tested,,,,
They were scored the stock markets might crash...OH they did anyway,,.......

Everybody can send me donations of alcohol - obviously to be used for medicinal wipe down purposes only - via the single malt thread

Tell them where you are then.

And speak up they are hard of all senses.

Yeah, sorry. I should have said where I am.

Don't even know who he is tbh. Wait is he McAfee from cyber security McAfee?!

Mate check out a documentary or two on his life. Youve no idea. He is insane. The stuff he has got up to. He went full gangster and went around with machine guns and bought a government of some poor country and had a meth lab, killing people n’all. Didn’t even need to do it he is mega rich from McCaffee. But he is still out and about I believe.

Older people are not part of the herd, those who are younger and less affected by coronavirus are the herd.

It's a bit hard to do that on buses unless you restrict how many can get on and where they sit.

its the same with trains, especially rush hour. It’s why many companies are starting to implement agile/remote working to try and keep as many people away from large groups as possible

Try and keep yourself to yourself as much as possible Joe. Out of harms way.

People are panicking because our leaders are.

People are panicking because they have little understanding, they believe social media rather than what official guidance says. All you need to do is log onto Facebook or anything like that and see the swarms of misinformation being flung about

Well today we've had our first confirmed case at my workplace so will see how long they let us come in for.

Maybe our PM saying many people will die isnt the best way to reassure people. Followed up by articles fed through sources and behind paywalls. Disgraceful

Woke up this morning feeling even worse than I did yesterday. Called NHS Direct again, they said that if they continue to *worsen* until Tuesday then call them with a reference number.

Seen a post shared yesterday that was a mum saying she is sick of everyone saying Corona virus is nothing because her young son was in hospital .

They didn't test him and sent him home. She has another son who is also asthmatic.

I'm not saying she was making it up , could well have been the truth. But on the chance it wasn't the virus then that's how social media is spreading panic

So collateral damage for the greater good of younger healthy hurd, that's nice!

I don't go out Bruce much at the best of times due to my tiredness etc..... so it will be the norm for me....
