Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

[peteblue]

on the slide I posted Pete, the word tests does not appear - it’s quite simple

So what was your purpose in you posting your slide ? Was it to congratulate the Government on its ‘moonshot’ approach or to try and hold it up to ridicule ? If the former then I congratulate you on your conversion, if the latter then my slide stands......

People who laugh at others for being scared of something that kills 000s a day, there's loads of them about.

I normally don't give a crap about other people but this one bugs me as it's just wrong to do it.

 

[ToffeeTim]

The media have created fear and exacerbated people's anxiety. They are more interested in hysteria than objectivity and keeping us informed.

People are free to stay indoors and be ultra safe to the point of not leaving the house. That is completely up to them and no one should judge that. But that is no reason to restrict the rest of us from doing some of the activities we want to do. It should be all about personal choice and personal responsibility. We can't deny others their rights because others aren't comfortable with something.

What is it you're not currently allowed to do you think you should be though?

did you even read it?

the slide is full of the most meaningless tech babble imaginable, with Moonshot Headquarters being a particular highlight

Of course he didn't read it, he just said we are 1 of the best testers in the world.

He makes things up.

Well if so I'm assuming you've discussed this with him. There's probably smaller steps to take with him than inviting him to a pub where social distancing collapses after 2 pints.

A drink with no bumming? What's the point?

So I was right, just another ridicule of an attempt to improve and increase testing even further.....

Go to football and play 5 a side would be the main ones. And I'm expecting the gym to be closed again soon too.

I just don't agree with simple things like small birthday parties or potentially Christmas get togethers not being allowed. It's a principal thing as well because I don't see any logic to a lot of the decisions because they are contradictory. And the idea of these covid marshals as well.... don't get me started.

I mean sporting events being reopened has already been trialed, it's being opened to a degree in France. There's one very obvious reason they can't be opened properly: social distancing. So you either support social distancing and by extension support stadiums being shut, or you don't support either which says more about you.

Birthday parties & Christmas parties are allowed, were allowed, but people took the royal piss with them.

"Social distance and enjoy yourselves". It's not the governments fault people can't follow an extremely simple instruction is it?

Of course I read it, but which bit do you believe I made up, bearing in mind all I did was post someone else’s Chart and comment on its results....

It's too early to know what will happen in December, but if the rule of 6 stays in place, then there won't be many Christmas parties

Yeh but the reason there even is a Rule of 6 now is because people couldn't follow the old rules.

Give someone an inch and all that.

'Meanwhile the U.K. is one the highest test performing countries in the world..."

This bit.

... which doesn’t mention tests at all.
