Italy has done it. Maybe it will be the same in the Uk, I don't know.

So you are suggesting that all these scientists have sold their souls.  Academics are amongst the most left wing groups there are.  I don’t but they wouldn’t voice their objections. 

I think once you take a government job as a scientist that's exactly what you're doing yes.

The UK will probably pay £10 into your account but you'll have to wait 16 weeks and send your application recorded delivery. 

[Dougie Do'ins]

So according to what I seen on the news tonight, There is practically zero chance of anyone not getting this virus ?

I've always held the opinion that scientists often see numbers instead of human lives, although that's probably been reinforced through Hollywood stereotypes.

ISS are probably quite safe. But yeah, everyone gets it. Do you want it now when they have fuck all idea what they are doing but the hospitals are not packed. Or you want it later when they have fuck all idea and the hospitals are wrecked and the age limit for DNR has dropped to 40?

Munira Wilson, the Lib Dem health spokeswoman, has questioned the government's testing regime and said it should be extended to NHS staff and social care workers. 

 

I think she's entirely correct. But, is she just fulfilling her duty as a public servant or is she politicising the coronavirus, something which she'll later regret? 

 

Just checking what the distinction is between the two?

No

Because the government are not closing anything just advising. Means they can all wipe their hands clean of the costs

100k police being put on the streets of France too. To ensure that the social distancing process is adhered to, after evidence gathered over the weekend indicates that the French public were pretty much living as per usual. 

 

We'll have that next. Too many selfish know-alls.

[Davelfc]

Aye we're all in this together.

TBH, if it were just me I'd take my chances with it. Im 52 and in reasonable health. (I think) I'm not in a position to work from home because of my job.

 

It's my dad I'm worried about. He's 80 in a couple of weeks and had major heart surgery about four months ago.

Woo

High blood pressure - Check

Type 1 diabetes - Check

 

 

So according to the government I'll get a letter, stay home for 3 months. All well and good but how exactly do I pay my rent and other bills

The ITV News Health Corespondent said everyone is being advised to socially distance. Pregnant women, over 70s and people with chronic illnesses, such as diabetes, who need the flu jab, are being strongly advised to work from home if they can and not go to supermarkets at peak times. A smaller group of people, around 1.4 million, who have serious conditions and a compromised immune system, such as those having chemotherapy, are being asked to stay at home and not go out.

Maybe sometimes they should. Ultimately if there job is to reduce the overall death toll, if that means some.more now for less.later they're doing their jobs I suppose. The problem is there's never a guarantee of less later.

 

Also we don't know what numbers they're working with. So what we're doing (done so far) might be just the trick for a non-functioning health service with not enough testing kits and no money to get them. It's like saying to a builder can build me a house any house you want, it's a blank page. And you tell the world you've got yourselves a building company and the remit is any house they want. Then you tell the builder it is any house he wants, just he's only he's got 50k to do the build. Then when the house is shit, loads of people would question what the fuck is going on with the builder if that's all he could build with a blank page. You can only piss with the dick you've got. People juggling numbers can only juggle the numbers they've got.

As well as being morally bankrupt, utterly hateful, sociopathic fucking cunts, they're all complete fucking morons in government, aren't they? 

 

Frightening.

"There's no such thing as society" - Margaret Thatcher 1987

People can say it shouldn't be about politics but the government have fucked this up badly and it looks like Tory politicians have created what's about to be carnage across the country.

 

Starmer already has his focus with this if/when he becomes Labour leader and he should stick with it because it has the potential to bring the government down eventually. The Tories are creating what could be one of the worst situations we've known in recent history and a lot of it could've been prevented, simply by following methods that other countries have used to contain the virus instead of allowing it to spread.

 

I think the press conference today was Johnson's last chance to bring some sanity to this situation but he was probably too bothered about the economy to care. It'll probably be a miracle if he doesn't pay for it heavily too.
