I thought it would be fairly obvious I was talking about the contagious virus that is currently sweeping the world and named in the thread title, but at least 3 of you have tried to act the smart arse so I suppose that was naive of me. I deleted my post. You're too quick. Are you stuck at home with nothing to do? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbornbairn Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 If they give advance warning of a lockdown, the arseholes are just going to take the chance for a last party. Just announce it - we all know it's coming anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems the UK built its response on a faulty assumption of the transmission rate of this disease so wasted a few weeks in delaying more serious shut downs. But everyone is blaming a people in parks over the weekend rather than the slow response from Westminister. On the other hand, Norway seems to only have linear growth at the moment. They have a reasonable chance of turning the corner. Germany also seems to think they are getting on top of the rate of growth. Good luck. Germany has a better healthcare system than the NHS. All we have is 1966 and 2 World Wars. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think Dom and Boris would have thought about that though Wouldn't you ????? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If London lockdown is in 2 or 3 days, they'll need to announce it tonight, based on other countries 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Woolshed Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 How many deaths are we realistically looking at in Scotland until we start to see the trend reverse? 2000 odd or much much more? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trains full of people left Paris after the France one. The lockdowns might well be a bad idea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renton Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 http://nrg.cs.ucl.ac.uk/mjh/covid19/ Decent site for tracking infection, if you go down to the UK "regions" graphs, it seems that London is fucked, England seems to be following London up the 35% daily increase and the other nations are increasing by 22% daily. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC. Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Surely to Christ this'll be lockdown now? The UK is full of selfish, entitled arseholes and it's an indictment of the government that they actually believed that the minions would follow their masters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the rest of you're snowflake style nonsense, obviously it's impossible to not touch things, it's about limiting the number of things you touch or go near. But keep making it out as if we're suggesting everyone gets chained up to their bed if it makes you feel better. I took the many comments along the lines of ‘just do not go out at all’ as pretty much that - chain yourself to your bed. Look, I am far from being in the ‘fcuk everyone I’m going to the pub, fcuk youse all’ category. Most of my days are spent in the house, posting on here, reading a book, playing on my PS4. I choose to go out for a bit daily, I choose where to go as carefully as possible. I am not apologising for doing this. We are all entitled to our opinion, but you can take your ‘snowflake’ type of patter to fcuk please. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hampden Diehard Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 In the supermarket today (for essentials only, of course) and I can happily report that old women still haven't mastered the art of having their purse out when it comes time to pay, bless 'em. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
