Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

[Tipp blue]

Media propaganda in full swing in Ireland today, knowing full well that alot of people don't read past the headline or sub heading. Here is one I found today can anyone guess the numbers of infected staff combined between Tesco Ireland, Aldi and Lidl? I'll post the answer in a few minutes View attachment 95088

The answer is 1 in Tesco and 0 in both also and Lidl.

Circumstances don't, by and large, prevent you staying away from people where you can, wearing a mask and washing your hands. Attitudes do.

Thats true to a degree. But tens of thousands of shop workers, delivery drivers, posties, chemists, binmen, NHS (obvs), emergency services etc etc havnt had the choice to be a scardy cat that I have.

Sound. Been wearing one today as a trial run when I popped to Sainsburys. Seems quite a few more folk are as well, which is good.

Social distance, wear a mask, and hand washing for 3 months is a small price to pay to attempt to get this thing in retreat.

This Marine makes a similar point, albiet in language NSFW!

Where you have no option is different, but where you do and choose not to it is the point.

I think its moronic to wear a mask when I go to Tesco considering the shop is full of people who have spent all week in the pub.

But hey ho, lets look like we are trying all we can.

And communities should understand that and build in methods to make it easier to quarantine including things like this policy in San Francisco

SF Program Pays COVID-19 Patients to Stay Home - SF Weekly

San Francisco residents with the novel coronavirus may be eligible for up to $2,2571.20 under the brand new Right to Recover program.

and offering hotel rooms so can isolate away from family like New York did

Oh sure. I think we are violently agreeing with each other here!

It's important though, that as there are those who are at greater exposure, we look to limit the spread where it is possible.

It's ridiculous that people are still having to say it.

I know. All you can do unless you are a biologist is your bit. I said yesterday, that if we stop this thing spreading, it cant. If that makes it go away I have no idea.

But like you say, its not a big deal to do the best you can.

Should have said you were washing your hair that night, the way you have gone on about it pver the past few weeks they might even have taken it as a believable excuse

And people think half the country will stay at home with colds this winter.

No mate

What we're saying is they SHOULD stay at home.

Very subtle difference

I get that mate, but if people did what they SHOULD have done we wouldn't have 500k dead already.

Relying on humans to make correct decisions is like pissing in the wind.

All settings - 79 is the announced total, down 31 on yesterday and 6 down on last Wednesday, bringing the 7 day rolling average down to an even 64. The earlier hospital figure brings that average down further to an even 13
