Savage Henry Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 16:35 'Seville is a ghost town' Ione Wells BBC News Seville, Spain's fourth largest city, is usually full of bustling crowds: people elbowing each other to get a space around a tapas bar and packs of tourists eagerly queuing outside the historic cathedral. But this weekend, it looks like a ghost town. The streets are deserted. Shops, restaurants, tourist sites and many hotels are boarded up as people are told they are only allowed to leave their homes for essentials. Police cars slowly circle the empty streets, stopping occasionally to usher people on. One group of bemused tourists I saw eating sandwiches in the sunshine of a square were swiftly told to leave, as police reminded them that it's "forbidden" to sit or stand in the streets. The problem is, many of them are waiting for flights home, and don't have anywhere else to go. 6 million Celtic fans on their way. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Even the lack of football?Yeah that’s a bit shit but I like big events like this happening where everyone is in it together and there is lots of uncertainty , like the aftermath of a general election or 9/11. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause humans are greedy arseholes. Ordinary people off the street would let people suffer to make £5.

Honest Saints Fan Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 (edited) Decided not putting kids to nursery now. Too much of a risk for me. The statistics for those that have cancer are not enjoyable reading. I'm not currently on treatment (chemo) but as I have blood cancer I'm at a much higher risk. I also have hospital treatment (not chemo) this week but I'm going to ask for it to be cancelled. It's in the oncology ward so it's always very clean but it's not life saving treatment so hopefully they'll agree to patch it.

jamamafegan Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Should it come to pass, it would be worth the risk. My friend wants to know who this is. Thanks in advance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyderspaceman Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Just escaped from Spain today after an enjoyable week. Lucky me. Have only escaped to France, though. A bit of a frying pan/fire situation. Genuinely feel sorry for all who are affected. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoda Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I forgot I hadn't muted Stan Collymore on Twitter. Thankfully, this pandemic has reminded me to mute his inane, Pharma Da', nonsense. Be cautious, be proactive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lack of ventilators a huge problem, and they apparently already have far more per head in Lombardy than in the UK. Penny only seems to have dropped now with the UK Government that buying a few more ventilators may be a good idea - these orders should have been in weeks ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philpy Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I've been a bit wheezy the last 30 mins or so. I'm not asmatic and I've no other health issues. Going to take it easy and I see how I am in the morning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyderspaceman Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 (edited) Apologies if already answered but why the run on toilet paper (no pun intended)? AFAIK the infection doesn't have symptoms which would require lots of it. Just stupid people?

But aye, still stupid people mostly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
