If you support the SNP blame Tory cuts.

If you support the Tories, blame SNP mishandling of Scottish health.

If you support Labour, blame the neoliberalisation of the UKs health system. 

If you support the Lib Dems, blame the two party system for failing to build a long term consensus on the best course for the NHS.

If you support UKIP, blame the years of red tape from Brussels. 

If you are a Marxist blame late capitalisms failure to prioritise the workers over the profits for the bosses.

If you are a capitalist, blame the failure of the socialised health care system to have a reactive and responsive market economy in the UKs health care. 

If you are a Daily Mail reader blame the over taxing of our health system immigrants. ?

If you read the Guardian blame the Climate Emergency.

If you read the Daily Express, deffo all Maddie McCanns fault. 

If you're Dorlomin blame all these idiots who just won't listen.

Cannot get bog roll anywhere in WA. All the supermarkets are queued up in the mornings with morons rushing in and filling up their trolleys. Pictures of cars on social media with all their spare space filled with toilet paper. The supermarkets have released pictures of their warehouses with hundreds of pallets of the stuff and telling people they won't be running out anytime soon. Woolworths - yes they're still a thing here - are now going to limit customers to 4 packs maximum. Fucking idiots everywhere. 

I've just had to buy kitchen roll to wipe my arse once these last 2 rolls run out.

Italy seems to he suffering a particularly high death rate from this (approx 3.5%).
Any reason for this?  Looks high for a Western country with good standards of health care. 


Full of old c***s that smoke.

Maybe more people are being tested, the testing might be more efficient?

I suspect the virus is far far more prevalent than we realise. People that recover quickly from it won't bother getting tested.  Which would also means it is less deadly

ETA I would imagine the population of northern Italy is older than Wuhan or Iran, which might account for the difference.

Yes, I'm sure Italy has been proactively testing people for the past couple of weeks, where as we've still got the "nothing to see here" attitude about it all.

Could be people who have it mild don't bother to go to the doctor.
