It's a bit trump-like, so you should have a wee think before havering such pish. Short memories. Remember mad cow's disease and Creutzfeldt-Jakob? And the 2007 outbreak of foot and mouth from the Government's research unit at Pirbright, also cross species? All of this has to be a global effort now and in the future, fat moronic toddlers shouting Kung Flu ffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their lack of planning, clarity etc has been shocking. Why isnt the NHS prepared? Why aren’t the police prepared? What contingencies are there? Just look like a shower of amateurs over this. At the risk of sound sycophantic I think their hearts are in the right place. I genuinely think Sturgeon is motivated by what is best for the people of Scotland as a whole, whereas Johnson is still looking at what is best for interest groups. Sadly most of the major powers to deal with this are still vested in the UK government rather that the devolved ones. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know im about to get an absolute using for the next few months work wise and im happy to get stuck in about it, but what I cant be doing with is the stress of work along with no clarity on childcare. If they make provision for emergency services great, i can focus on work but ive no one to help me and an expectation i’ll be at work so im annoyed at the absence of any info as to whats going on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 4 hours ago, 19QOS19 said: How many grandparents watch their grandkids regularly as it is though? I expect quite a lot. The idea of shutting the school is surely to minimise the chance of kids carrying it and passing it on to people like their vulnerable grandparents. There's pros and cons about this decision. The crucial error here is that they didn't do it when there were a handful of cases and so almost no infected kids to pass it onto grandparents or any other carer. They should have been punted into their house and out of sight two weeks ago: which is what any competent government in Europe did. UK politicians were too busy wringing their hands about how costly and unpopular it would be to require parents to look after their sprogs for the foreseeable future, made up specious nonsense about listening to 'expert medical advice' on the matter and so here we are. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyderspaceman Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Okaaaay. I finally caught up. Mrs Spaceman and I went out for a walk earlier, with our signed and dated documents, just in case. Walked along the farm tracks where we normally meet no one. Met 6 folk and 3 cars and a dug. Nae gendarmes tho. Lovely weather 18 degrees. Sorry but that's why I left Bonnie S. We had intended to go back for a couple of weeks in April but now it looks like it will be September. Your winter time. Bugger. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyperinflation is only really a risk if we overshoot the amount of money needed to replace lost real income. It is possible and a risk, but so is a full on collapse of the economy. Fortunately, we elect clever people with impeccable judgement to make these difficult calls on our behalf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with your sentiment but the French and Spanish only did it at the weekend past. BJ and his crew certainly dithered tho. I wonder how much input Cummings had. We'll never know of course as he's unaccountable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there was a global virus to originate for here I would argue it's the first time it's happened. And we can stop it happening again. How many viruses which have spread overseas have originated in China? Also I'm happy to hear your opinion 42 minutes ago, Ross. said: In your situation they have already lost their economy. Shutting them off would only mean they reciprocate and probably see them weaponise it in order to do economic damage elsewhere.

As I will be needing beer Don't think anyone has responded to this, but I seen today that a local bar (The Spinnaker in Gourock) is trying to expand its new takeaway function to alcohol as well. It'd probably be £4 for a bottle of Fyne Ales from there but if local authorities give the go ahead then pubs will be running a dial-a-bevvy service near all of us in the near future. 1 hour ago, oaksoft said: Right now, the self-righteous twattery is coming from you.
