Coronavirus

[Tony Towner]

And London is 2 weeks ahead of the rest of the UK.

 

[Del Woppio]

This is SHIT

Advisory is fuck all use. If you want something to stop fucking ban it.

 

[Kenny]

In the first of a series of new daily briefings, Mr Johnson also said elderly and vulnerable people would have to begin self-isolating for "around 12 weeks" in "a few days time".

Watching the Gov't briefing, but my eyes keep being drawn to the deaf signer on the right (so lose the thread of what anyone is saying) - her facial expressions & hand signals are mesmerising.

Are you saying avoid contact but schools/colleges/Uni's remaining open kind of defeats that request?

 

[playtheace]

Bozzer says "everyone should now avoid social contact with others and stop non-essential travel to fight coronavirus. We need people to start working from home and you should avoid pubs, clubs… and other such social venues"

The key word is "should"

They have now replaced her with a man who is just slightly less OTT

What's the point in advisory measures? Noteworthy that he's not once mentioned schools/colleges/unis

He's hoping that they make the decision for him, as sport did.

Essentially because he's a piece of shit and has no idea what to do.

But surely that would mean the government would have to provide financial support?

Or kids stop at home with grandparents (so parents dont lose their jobs) pass on a virus and then peg it, then he has blood on his hands.
Cant win really...hes being led by the others..im sure come the weekend that schools and colleges will be closed for next week onwards and
its quite close to Easter too.

The more alarming thing is that London is ahead but NO talk about closing the Tube.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

This is such a muddled response. Utterly clueless. And saying any symptoms in your household is self isolation for 14 days and no food shopping has just ensured the panic buying will escalate to absolutely biblical proportions. This is idiocy, not leadership.

I’m not a Boris fan by any means, but that is too harsh. He doing as advised by the experts, that is the correct thing.

That’s the nub of it, partly his parties fault but we need some very drastic measures to ensure people don’t dump their kids on their grandparents.

Tube should have some temperature or age test before using it.

No, it means they don't have to. If they outright banned it they would.
I work in a club, and I'm pretty much fucked.

That's what I was getting at.

Simply the most American title ever "American Shoppers Queuing Around The Block For Guns Amid Coronavirus Outbreak"

 

[Tredman]

I prefer the Dutch:

Coronavirus: Dutch queue for cannabis before lockdown

Coronavirus: Dutch queue for cannabis before lockdown

The size of the queue I saw deserved applause, it was fucking massive :icon_lol:

My Dutch colleagues were quite scathing about it earlier, saying they are not a bunch of stoners. I didn’t point out that the medium-sized town they all work in has 6 ‘cafes’
