Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

I'm no financial expert, but Amazon must be smashing it here with little tax paid.

Not at all unfortunately. Stock has tanked from $2000 a share to $1600 in just a couple of weeks. Nightmare.

Need some advice - It appears that my mother who suffers from MS does not get the message that she has to stay inside and isolate. Therefore, I'm just wondering if anyone else is having trouble getting the message through to loved ones that this is a serious problem and could result in their death. Therefore, short of locking them up and taking their house keys, what's the best way to ensure that they stay grounded?

That's what we done to my mam
She gets out for a ramble in the evenings
She has her house keys back now she realises how serious it is
Desperate times call for desperate measures

Pet shops? Very strange.

Online shopping remains open.

Supermarkets stock most pet foods, surely?

Sorry Officer, the bath needed resealing

It will be interesting to see what it does to drug related crime and knife crime........

Well there won't be any burglaries as everyone's stuck in their houses.

unless you want all pets to go hungry and die......

You can get pet food from all the supermarkets.

@Paris do you live close by? You would be able to take her our for a short walk if so. Just do it at the right time (i.e. avoid contact)

That's what my mum is doing with her mum.

Shops will get hammered though......

Of course. Things will break down, and people will also need something to do while at home....

Use the time to read, learn another language, stop and think quietly, pray and contemplate.

Forced confinement can be used positively.

To be fair that doesn't stop some of them.

Looks like the uniforms were designed by the people who dressed Village People.

Mate that’s an odd observation to make kinda makes me think if you are shooting straight.

Also them tight trousers have them all sporting some serious Moose knuckle. I can’t look away I don’t even know how you can avert your eyes away long enough to make an observation on the uniform overall. Still looking at it now I am.

I recall the days after the metro and airport bombings when Belgium put the army in the major stations, airports etc... It did not inspire confidence. Turns out they'll let anybody no matter how old, speccy, fat or short they are have a big gun.
