The flaw being that I didn’t know what I was talking about. Edited March 23, 2020 by Granny Danger 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is only March, God knows what the figures will be like come June !!! This is literally pish. If we start with 5,000 cases, the geometric progression after , say 70 days, could be 100 million-ish depending on how many days is 'a few'. So, we're all going to die? Twice? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 The government are almost completely out of patience, if they aren't indeed already done. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-51999864 Things like that article and the pleas being made by officials across the UK on a daily basis getting more and more insistent and having to be emphasised are all pointing towards lockdown. Lockdown will of course see a massive surge in panic buying with scum packing the shops, all at the same time to stock up and ensure others miss out, all helping the virus spread by totally ignoring advice/rules for social distancing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why on earth are they still open? I phoned to ask if I could get it delivered instead, but they couldn't do it so I had to cancel the whole order. Am I f**k going to contribute to them keeping their shops open and pretending to be somehow essential. It should be supermarkets/corner shops, chemists and very little else at this point. Meanwhile, in America: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/gamestop-says-its-essential-retail-but-closes-stor/1100-6474984/ Quote "Due to the products we carry that enable and enhance our customers' experience in working from home, we believe GameStop is classified as essential retail and therefore is able to remain open during this time," the memo states. "We have received reports of local authorities visiting stores in an attempt to enforce closure despite our classification. Store managers are approved to provide the document linked below to law enforcement as needed." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pay staff in full till april. The payy staff 80% as per govt grant. Correct me if I'm wrong. I thought employers had to pay full wages with an 80% subsidy. If not many will just be closing that were shit businesses as opposed to genuine health reasons. I don't believe employers are obligated to pay the final 20% 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djchapsticks Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 BBC reporting that Italy's numbers do not reflect what the Italian government wanted to see. As far as I can tell though, deaths have dropped day on day and new cases have dropped day on day for the 2nd day running. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
