So how would you interpret the lockdown in terms of sharing care of a child? My daughter stays with me 3 days a week and her mum 4. Am I allowed to pick her up?

 

If I'm not I'm treating this like a zombie apocalypse and getting the shotgun out for some looting, rampaging, pillaging and exterminating.

I just watched it thanks to this post. Why would you share that information? That’s fucking sick, man. 

 

I figured with Greggs, McDonald's, Subway etc all closing down, we need all the recipe suggestions we can get.

How the fuck is B&Q an essential shop?

 

Is it just so all the hoarders can go out and start panic buying rolls of wall paper now that they've bought up all the toilet roll?

Just been told by a mate Wilkos is staying open. Claiming they sell food

No reason for them to be open at all. 

I'm sure the cleaning stuff and few packaged bits can be bought elsewhere. Problem is it means a load of staff are now not isolating so more morons can go out and buy some DIY and kitchen shite

Arizona man dies after taking chloroquine for coronavirus......

 

 

 

 

The couple, in their 60s, experienced immediate distress after swallowing the drug, an additive used at aquariums to clean fish tanks, according to Banner Health Hospital in Phoenix.

Chloroquine phosphate shares the same active ingredient as malaria drugs that President Trump has touted as possibly effective against COVID-19, the potentially life-threatening disease caused by the coronavirus.

On Saturday, Trump tweeted about the combination of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin, saying it had “a real chance to be one of the biggest game changers in the history of medicine.”

The nation’s top infectious disease expert, Anthony Fauci, played down that claim, saying the therapy must be tested to assure its safety and efficacy.

“Chloroquine, a malaria medication, should not be ingested to treat or prevent this virus,” Banner Health said in a statement on Monday.

The new coronavirus, which causes the highly contagious COVID-19 respiratory illness, emerged in December in Wuhan, China and has spread throughout the world.

There are currently no vaccines or treatments approved for the disease, but researchers are studying existing treatments and working on experimental ones. At the moment, most patients can only receive supportive care.

“Given the uncertainty around COVID-19, we understand that people are trying to find new ways to prevent or treat this virus, but self-medicating is not the way to do so,” said Dr. Daniel Brooks, Banner Poison and Drug Information Center medical director.

Brooks urged the medical community to not prescribe chloroquine medication to any nonhospitalized patients.

In Trump's defense, it did prevent him dying from the coronavirus.

I'm not sure why eating one dog is that much worse than slaughtering million of chickens, for example. An animal's an animal. 

Different cultural outlook. They don't draw any distinction between types of animals. They see the western attitude to pets as strange. Considering the degree of cruelty they carry out on other humans, their attitude to animals is nothing.

They will eat anything with 4 legs that isn't a table, anything that flies that isn't a plane and anything in the water that isn't a boat.

For me personally, it's not so much they're being eaten. It's more about how they're being slaughtered (blowtorch) and tortured (legs cut off). Not for me, Clive.
