Not right now though. Give it 10-14 days to let the virus spread around a bit more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTG Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 37 minutes ago, WATTOO said: Yes, the overarching and nagging question for me is, would ruthless regimes cripple or destroy their economies for a "few cases of the flu" ?? I think not and that worries me. Trump won't give a f**k about the weak in his society snuffing it. America will work on economy protection first. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yer boi here has just been told he has 15 days off from Wednesday as the schools in Madrid are closing. I work in childcare so I’m patiently waiting for my two weeks off. We were paid when the jannies went on strike a couple of years ago so I’m assuming I would be on full pay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if you're deliberately missing the point, but surely the fact that China has massively reduced the spread of this by doing something rather than - as they did at the beginning - doing nothing, is exactly what I was talking about? The Chinese hand was forced on this after it got out of control. And it got out of control because of the Chinese government. They've cleaned up their own mess, yes. However, it's now everybody else's mess as well. Great bunch of lads, indeed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Europe, knowing what might be coming and having test kits available, is unable to do so? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
