You do realise that sooner or later we'll all be dead and none of this nonsense will matter right? Do you really want to look back on your death bed and have nothing but bitterness and anger as your life experience? Nope. I want to look back and know that I did everything I could to leave the world a better place than when I arrived, in whatever small way I could. Specifically, that I did everything within my power to ensure my children, and theirs, inherited a world where they could share in the bounty this world has to offer - not plead for scraps and spend their lives tugging forelocks because they didn't have the foresight to fall out of the right fanny. Damn' right I'm angry. My generation have absolutely fucked it, and all in the race to die with the most toys. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a vaccine never comes / situation improves on its own it's quite the climb down to go back on it. I don't think it will happen but football might have to be closed down for a season or two. It has happened before (WW1 or WW2) then started back up again. It's no big deal. People have faced tougher situations than this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If their way leads to them suffering much less of a downturn (and all the effects that has on living conditions) then they'll be the ones that got it right. A lockdown that fucks the economy is only really useful if its done properly (new zealand etc). Our half way measure looks like it could be the worst option, although it clearly saved lives. Yeah, we'll see what the long term impacts are on all fronts. I obviously don't really know their situations in detail but I'd be surprised if a country like Denmark, which apparently started to ease lockdown a month ago, has been economically devastated from this. It goes back to the point about having different standards to begin with but I'd be surprised if the rest of that region's population are looking enviously at Sweden. 3.5x more deaths than Norway, Denmark and Finland combined to avoid a short lockdown doesn't seem like a major success story. It looks like the lesson here is that shutting down early is the right answer for public health and the economy. As you say, our half way measure looks to have fucked both.

Billy Jean King Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Why don't those frothing at the mouth about returning to the way we were and whining about the speed of coming back or those who think the Govt(s) have got it wrong actually do something about it rather than bitching 24/7 on an internet forum. Get out there and live your life, do what you want, fill your boots. It it stops your constant moaning I'm all for it. In the meantime I'm out of here. Better to enjoy life for what it is rather than wishing it away pining for something you have absolutely no control over. See you all on the other side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again you appear to assume a vaccine is guaranteed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

renton Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 I see Sunak is now talking about double digit unemployment rates by the end of the year... cynically, Covid is decent cover for a full on no deal Brexit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Not long back from a walk. People far less willing to move than I’ve seen previously. Could be coincidence or people becoming complacent. Where we walked was busier than normal so that might be a factor but people should be able to adapt to that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
