Purposely?

Yes.

 

Some other fella did it in a workers face and has been arrested.

 

The Department of Justice affirmed Wednesday that people who intentionally spread the novel coronavirus could be charged with terrorism.
Officials across the states are taking threats of spreading coronavirus seriously. Earlier this week, a New Jersey man who police said purposely coughed on a grocery store employee and said he had coronavirus was charged with making "terroristic threats."

Some interesting opinions in the FT.  Can't say I wholly agree - Johnson and the Tories are just fireproof cunts who get stronger the more they fuck up and the more damage they do - but there are some interesting thoughts here.

You are gonna have to hope it goes tits up in middle America then cuz right now it is concentrated almost entirely in Dem strongholds (CA, NY, Seattle) places Trump hates and his supporters hate even more.

Obviously I'm not going to hope that but I can't see his economy obsession going too well without the states you mentioned and it might only be a matter of time for many of those other states too. Can't see how it's going to go well elsewhere without locking down.

 

Glad you're back out of hospital as well @Pistonbroke and hope things end up being ok with your other tests.

Two things on the self employed thing. 

 

You'd be pretty pissed off if you've been fiddling your tax returns for the past 4 or 5 years. Unlucky. 

 

Also, isn't there an incentive for most self employed people to claim this support whether they really need it or not? Sunak confirmed that self employed people's taxes will go up to pay for this. You'd like to think that most people would do the right thing, but will everybody want to pay for a scheme that they haven't used themselves?

Just seen the NHS advert starring Chris Whitty. I’ve only ever listened to him on the radio so it’s the first time I’ve seen him. I’m not having that he’s human. He’s definitely an alien wearing human skin.

Escaping Canada to go to the USA seems like a stupid and suicidal thing to do right now

Any self employed here? Happy with what Sunak announced?

I only started showing a profit this year so it provides me with absolutely fuck all. 

 

Depending on how this goes the little bit of savings I had built up are probably going to vanish fairly sharpish.

How is it where you are, brother? Everything is shut down in all but name in Ottawa.
