All about sources, isn’t it? And of course socially ostracising the fuckwits panic buying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I get the feeling China didn't blow it's economy for the sake of 3000 pensioners? My best guess is that if it was 'just' going to be 3000 then they would probably be treated as collateral damage, but they can't be assured of this relatively low figure and therefore have to assume that it could be significantly higher. The 'Michael Fish & the hurricane' analogy was being widely used last week. Seems to be more about preventing the crash of the NHS system rather than caring about the number of deaths out there per se. There's always a money game as the UK government could save ~80,000 lives every year simply by banning the sale of tobacco products, yet never do for the purposes of economic gain. However, smokers won't crash the NHS system... unless they all pick up an extremely nasty respiratory virus at the same time of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoDiego Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Diegodiego should adopt the Grimbo method of signing off every post, but put “I am in Northern Italy btw”.Yeah, I think you might be right. This lockdown is utter shite by the way, I hope you good folk of the motherland don't have to deal with it. Sent from my Northern Italian post-apocalyptic Red Zone bunker. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrmad Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I've no idea whether our overlords are right or wrong but they've never shown any interest in doing what's right for the wider population in my lifetime.

Guest Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 1 hour ago, Carl Cort's Hamstring said: Pretty sure that the other teacher in my year group has it. She had to leave our residential trip early on Thursday morning and now has a bad cough, severe headaches and a fever. Since she's not in a priority group, she can't get a test, and as the illness can't be confirmed, there's no official advice or guidance for the rest of us. Which seems mad. Same with us. Two people were sent home from our department on Friday and told to "self isolate" for 7 days. I work in an office with over 1,000 people and the only ones capable of working from home are senior management and analysts (which make up under 5% of our workforce). The show must go on though, which makes a complete mockery of the Government advice when millions are mixing with each other daily, commuting to and from the large city's and crossing over one another in the major Railway and Bus stations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd_is_God Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 (edited) I travel all over the country on a daily basis. The rest of our team do the same. It's absolutely not business critical to do so (working from home is not really possible for more than a day or two, but travel in general could be vastly reduced), yet the official line as of Friday evening is to continue as normal. Seems absolutely mental to me given everything else that is going on. I hope common sense is arrived at come Monday.
