This mask thing seems to be gaining ground despite the questionable value. Just ordered a glue gun to fix the dodgy ones I got from Ebay for emergencies. I'll probably need to order another one to fix the dodgy glue gun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 I'm quite comfortable blaming Chris Martin for the pandemic. I think it's an oversimplification. I cant accept that Ed Sheeran isnt somehow also to blame 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Italy and Spain appear to be on the other side of the worst, but it took time for them to get there. The same will happen here, but we do still have the worst of it to come. Why can't news outlets report on this openly and honestly? That would be more of a 'boost' for people instead of the queen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonHMFC Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Cracking morning down here, meant to be up to about 20 later on. Going to be interesting to see if the masses can avoid going out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's probably difficult to release the type of information people want to hear. I mean, I want to hear when and how restrictions are going to be rolled back. I'm a big boy, I can hear that its still a few weeks away before anything changes. But if they start saying when X happens then you can do Y, folk will just start doing Y. They need to keep us on high alert because people cant be trusted not to hear one thing and do another ETA it's been a while since I added my disclaimer that this is my own opinion, before one of the threads many VLs questions the validity of it.

You would expect it to be absolutely devastating for these places but there hasn’t been much reported about it. Yes it has It hasn't been particularly devastating there yet, but there's still time. It has been widely reported on many international news outlets and dailly updates published by the WHO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to keep us on high alert because people cant be trusted not to hear one thing and do another I suppose that's true. But on the flip side we get "new infections increased by x" and "deaths increased by y" as if it is surprising. Would just be refreshing to find out what is happening elsewhere, how long it took them to get there, when that same date would be for us etc. It doesn't make much difference to me as I can find stuff out for myself, but there are plenty people about absolutely gripped by fear and hysteria for whom it's important they can see that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, even if the UK itself can't quite see it yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Simple solution, reduce the over paid p***ks pay by 70%. Clubs take the 30% they obviously think they require to survive and the 40% goes to the tax man as normal. If the c***s can't "survive" on 30% of their tens of thousands a week then f**k them. They are furloughing non playing employees to cover this, so despite there being no gain for anyone, the taxpayer can certainly interpret a loss 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't know if it's there in Spain or Italy yet, or if ours will go the same way. False promises wouldn't help at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not so much that it isn't reported, but it's tucked at the end of the news reports and not made much of. For example SPAIN NOW HAS MORE CASES THAN ITALY is the general message, which is true, but doesn't tell the full story. Italy is still in people's minds as being the worst affected in Europe, so hearing somewhere else has more cases is terrifying to most. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
