Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

[Kenshin]

But pubs and supermarkets are still a health risk - I never said they're zero risk? You are arguing they are more of a health risk than houses? Yet you don't think this means it's dangerous to not social distance with your mum?

You're such an idiot lol

Going round in circles here.

I'm the idiot? For thinking that the places we can visit are more risky than someone's house?

I mean really?

It sounds more like you are so adamant in disagreeing with me that you are ignoring the logic in what you are suggesting.

If those places aren't risk free and carry risk then they shouldn't be open for general public then should they? Noone is spreading the virus around their house but they potentially can in a supermarket . Given it's not just customers but the factories , the distribution and even the worker.

But again in your words, I'm more likely to get sick going to my mum's house then in a supermarket that has hundreds of potential contaminants. It's dangerous for me to go to my mum's house but less dangerous for her to go to the pub (without facemasks) where she will catch the virus therefore making it dangerous for me to go to her house?!

Jesus that's ridiculous logic and you call me an idiot lol

What will the right wing cranks do now their beloved Boris is further enforcing lockdown and mask wearing?

Blame lefties for not challenging the wearing of niqab and burka, it's against liberal democracy innit!

We all knew cases would increase once we opened up - more so because idiots can't act responsibly.

Im out this weekend but we'll be having a few cocktails in a bar and maybe go one pub whereas you have bells going on pub crawls in the middle of a pandemic and clowns gathering like to celebrate Liverpools title win.

Until a vaccine is found this is the reality.

Cocktails ! FFS,

This all started during the soft police response to the BLM protests.

Said at the time they should have been tear gassed and chucked in the gulag and from then on any other instances such as football fans gathering in their thousands like LFC fans should have received the same treatment.

Pussyfooting around gets you nowhere.

Surely and hopefully a metaphor for pint of Stella with a dash of lime!

How do you know they are Muslim? Like many of us they may not practice any religion. Also there are many religions in S and SE Asia.

because i live and from Burnley

Their religious beliefs are immaterial, but most Asians in Burnley identify themselves religiously as Muslim, so querying it just shows a degree of arguing purely for the sake of it.

From the last census, 10.7% of the population were Asian, and 9.9% were Muslim. I'm happy to take a leap of faith ( pun intended ) here and say there's more than just a random correlation involved in those two numbers. If people refer to them as Muslim rather than Asian, that suggests a degree of religious bias in that person's mind, but it doesn't mean the statement itself is inaccurate.

Every cloud has a silver lining.

I heard on UK news yesterday, talking about testing passengers arriving and it was said that they cost 150 quid. Is that right? How come, it doesn't sound
right? What's the cost involved?

Absolutely true, it's because of viral load. A direct blast in the face from a cough is multitudes worse than catching a lingering aerosol. Which is why you're much more likely to catch it at home if someone has it, but my point was the home only contains a few people, so the odds of catching it in terms of raw numbers is much less than in a supermarket, regardless of masks. You're just more likely to avoid it at a supermarket too.

Don't they just cancel each other out? Volume vs Potential Risk

You admitted to ignoring social distancing and that it was okay because 'you're not sick'.

Anything else you write now in this thread just doesn't hold any weight sorry.
