Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

Yea, it seems they changed their plan when the estimate of the deaths went from 100k to 250/300k. The fact that they were willing to let 100k die, is scary, but, at some point you have to draw a line at what number of excess deaths is "acceptable".

Each death will involve someone's nan, brother, friend etc, and is individually tragic, but the best you can realistically do, is accept an excess number of deaths which is in line with a moderately bad flu season. so you'd be talking about 25 to 30k.

I know that sounds utterly heartless, but it's probably the reality of the situation.

ironic that they went around criticising other people for being Stalinist, then

Can't we just put a bullet through his head? Although I wonder how much damage that would actually do.

That’s a waste of rounds. Just club him to death with an eel.

My missus is running out of things to clean, does anyone need their house cleaning ?

If she's run out of doorknobs to clean then you could always just drop your pants and ask for a quick polish ?

She can cut my grass if she wants. That will be the next topic to come out my wife’s grid.

Don't know how many times I have to say it in this thread but people are still being forced into work ffs

Blame the government for not working alongside employers to protect their staff instead of throwing insults and judgement at people still going out to work.

This is my first day of educating my granddaughter at home, we’ve done English, Spelling, Maths, P.E (nearly did me in) Story Time and Art. We’ve now got videos about the Romans and then Reading to do, then we are done. I’m knackered but it’s been great fun......similar tomorrow....

I’m betting English was your favourite.

Well done though and I’m sure it’s really satisfying and life affirming, enjoy it .

Advice needed:

I am in between moving homes with my GF and we have moved back separately to our parents in the meantime we have been seeing each other, should we stop this now?

Thanks

Mate of mine works for Kingspan (office based). They've all been denied permission to WFH (even though their jobs can and have been done at home) because "the VPN wouldn't handle it" (GET A BETTER VPN) while having their pay cut by 40% across the board.

Yes. It's rough, but yes you should (at least for 2 weeks, and that's if none of you are coming into contact with ANYONE else outside that group of 6), especially if any of your parents are vulnerable... but even if not tbh.
