Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

Thats largely down to our crass media whipping up hysteria to line their own back pockets.

Add in idiot busybodies in the public determined to see us all barricaded in our homes this was always going to be inevitable.

The first of many sadly.

The media have definitely played a big part in the putting the living fear into people as the always do. I remember them telling us this new disease Ebola was gonna wipe the whole planet out at one point.

Regarding people being barricaded into their own homes and not heading out in large groups, it’s something those on the front line (doctors and nurses) are advocating themselves. Something I was against at first but having seen the distress they’re going through, them having seen how the disease affects people in the flesh, it’s hard not to heed their advice.

The longer people don’t pay attention to their advice and do as they please the longer this crisis continues. The longer people get ill. The longer people are out of work. The tougher then enforcements become etc...

That's a bit bonkers - Almost like it's existed for years in China and only just leaked out - But that wouldn't happen would it

It's a conspiracy I tells ya.

So despite the government advising people not to move from London to their second homes in the country, Prince Charles has been staying at their country retreat in Balmoral.

And apparently that was after he left London on Friday to go to his “country residence” Highgrove in Gloucestershire, where he stayed until Sunday to then travel to Scotland!

Maybe I should ask him to refund my little trip to Wales that I booked and have since had to cancel - therefore losing all the money

These two C's were tested by NHS Aberdeenshire so that's 2 tests no longer available for front line staff or the local populace...

Disgusting!

stop bragging
Us baldies do not appreciate it

Speak for yourself.

Us mere mortals (plebs to high society) are subject to stringent stay at home measures, frontline nhs staff don’t have any tests or safety equipment.

Yet

the privileged few get whatever they want when they want and can seemingly travel freely without a care in the world.

Time for this to end when this all wraps up!

Prince Charles is isolating at Balmoral with Covid-19. Prince Andrew is isolating at Windsor with Jennifer, 14.

90% sure I have COVID-19. Sore throat past 2 days, that's gone away completely now and I have a tickly cough. Infrequent coughing.

I think many people have that, myself included.

Without testing we don’t know whether it’s Covid19 or just some other virus that’s going around.
