Pretty sure the government never did any preparation for this sort of thing. The NHS can only do what the politicians allow them to do. Here's Jeremy Hunt.... https://inews.co.uk/news/health/coronavirus-jeremy-hunt-department-health-personal-protective-equipment-2521180 From reading elsewhere, IIRC, Donald Trump disbanded the US pandemic planning unit in his bonfire of public expenditure. I wonder if the Tories, in effect, did the same ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Imagine if this had all happened a few years ago before hi-speed broadband, multi-channel TV, social media, etc. It would have been even more boring and far more difficult to get essential information distributed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Gaines Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I walked into Greenock town centre today and it was a surreal experience. Nobody around. No cars. Nothing. There was the odd car before I reached the police station but that was it. Tesco was SLIGHTLY busier than that, but barely anyone there too. My walk was to Gourock and it was DEAD there. Nobody at all. Again, just surreal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 The first weekend will by Christmas freaky Friday x 10. It's very weird seeing Perth city and all the surrounding roads virtually empty on a Saturday night. I suspect anyone who happens to be driving about any city centres or normally busy towns around the world will feel the same level of eeriness tonight. It's just hit me that I may not be in a pub mingling with my fellow humans for quite some time. Boozers are going to be rammed once this is over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Migrant workers in India are being told to return to their towns and villages but the trains are being reduced/cancelled. At the risk of being accused of ‘Birthday Card Pish’ we are a million times better off than folk in developing countries. That doesn’t excuse the torycunts and their austerity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’ll go well.... polis’ spot check on the road out of Cupar.... ’Can you tell us where you’re going sir?’ ’St Andrews’. ’For what purpose sir?’ ’Erm, essential shopping?’ ’Uh-huh. What sort of shopping sir?’ ’36 Titelist ProV 1s’. ’I see. Where are you travelling from sir?’ ’Eh, Cumbernauld.’ ’Cumbernauld. Do you normally do essential shopping in a Pringle V-neck and Farah slacks sir?’ ’All the time’. ’Can you open the boot please sir?’ ’Do I have to?’ ’Yes.... Is that a set of Callaway Big Berthas sir?’ ’Nope. Taylor Made’. ’Very good sir, enjoy your round.... next!’ 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
