Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

I suppose it depends on how stretched the NHS gets.

I know I'm considered a bit negative, but honestly watching these tory rats does not fill me with any confidence at all.

But lockdown after lockdown is totally unsustainable for every single reason you can think of.

It solves nothing, as the virus is still there and the moment people go back out again, it all starts again.

It`s about managing things as best we can now.

If only the people could see this
( hopefully they do)

Which takes me back to the Tory rats.

Horrid people.

I dont know much about politics ( or anything) but if corbyn was in charge do we think it would be well different?

Aren’t countries like Germany getting help from the EU in regards to furlough?

They've been distributing about €350 million a week I think.

Who cares about the detail when you can call people murderers and talk about genocide.

Are you still "relaxed" about this second wave?

Hubris. Look it up...it's right next to Howler.

Yes The EU are issuing bonds of some sort. Someone cleverer than me or google could explain it better.

 

[davek]

What, so anyone who dares to report a different view point to yours is now a MURDERER too ?

Telling people everything is fake news like that clown Trump and ignoring scientific advice will see people killed on an industrial scalde...and you're pushing that view on this forum by linking to a looney tunes website.

 

[arminisgod]

Indeed.

Scumbags from the Banana Republic will be responsible for a lot of any of the Czech infection increases.

jesus christ, so our government is NOW to blame for the Czech cases?

Yes. EU bonds are helping to fund furlough.

To all the active people in here if you had to guess

are pubs/gyms going to shut again soon/this winter?

is there going to be a “lockdown”

will they extend Furlough?

I think if they extend furlough, it will be to shut the pubs etc.

 

[zzr45]

Its impossible to predict at this point.

If the death rate stays "low" then I doubt much changes apart from local lockdowns, if it starts to increase then I dunno.

I doubt Boris the Butcher has the balls to lockdown again.

Winter is coming, we have no tests, hospital admissions are increasing, people on ventilators are increasing, Winter is coming.

Hopefully not, what with their use being linked to the elevated death rate.

The question is if any lockdown actually serves a useful purpose at this point. Restricting visitors to care homes/hospitals etc seems more like a prudent measure than lockdown for the general population. It does in some ways now need to be treated like two separate viruses.

 

[YoboCopter]

Most people seem to have the same idea dont they

then you get the odd Jobsworth bedwetter also known as carpet bagger

 

[Brennan]

Hubris. Look it up...it's right next to Howler.

You seem to have quoted the wrong person again.

Couldn't be any worse that is for certain. One thing is for certain, had he have made as many monumental cock-ups and boz has, he would have not pretended like it was going well an he was doing a great job.

People like Corbyn for his social policies imo. I have no idea how he would have fared in the hot seat.
