doulikefish Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 He really is useless.To avoid them they need to close We’ve to avoid pubs, restaurants, non-essential channel etc now. I can’t help but feel an official ban on them would’ve been better, given a large % of this country will still go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norway dipping their toe into their oil fund to deal with a national emergency. Really glad we didn't waste our time with that stuff and forged ahead with austerity instead. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't you be getting your wee boat in prime condition for the work that lies ahead rather than dossing on Pie & Bovril? Early indications of cabin fever developing within the P & B community (WhiteRoseKillie can go stir-crazy).

AyrshireTon Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Hearing mutterings that the fortnightly pen-jabs I have to take are being used to treat the virus in other countries. Nothing official that I can find, but Israel was mentioned. Ironic that I'm a higher risk of catching it but might have a stock of a cure in my fridge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Johnson's advice has now changed from "we need to build herd immunity" to "avoid all but essential contact with everyone" in two days. And people ask why folk are panicking - mainly because the government are about as trustworthy as Jimmy Saville. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it hadn't been reported as a 'thing' , nobody, and I mean nobody, would have noticed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottmcleanscontacts Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 After the Danes yday the Norwegian govt has set out what it will do for workers affected by #COVID19:[emoji1189] Full pay for those laid off for 20 days.[emoji1189] Self employed get 80% of their average income the last 3 years - ceiling 600k NOK (£48000).[emoji1189]money for carers of Covid patients.— Lewis Goodall (@lewis_goodall) March 16, 2020 Swedish govt announce 300 billion SEK (£25bn) package. Includes measures for those affected by #COVID19 too.[emoji1236] Laid off workers guaranteed 90% of their income. [emoji1236] Govt will pay 50% of that and the employer picks up the other half[emoji1236] govt will pay sick pay, rather than employer— Lewis Goodall (@lewis_goodall) March 16, 2020 This should of course happen here and of course won't.That's because these two countries are fine examples of where (in some cases) extreme capitalism and socialism can co-exist. Something that will never, ever happen in the UK. That's probably another argument for another thread, however. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'medical guy' whose poindexter modelling approach runs against what is being done in just about every other European country?

It's media driven shite. This is the 4th of the virus since SARS. There has been NO virus produced in all these years for any of the other 3 Corona viruses.
