Quite possibly. Economic impact seems to be of more importance than the infection rate in some places though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoDiego Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 My boss got stopped by the police today while driving from his village to town (5 miles) to go to the big supermarket. The police sent him back, saying he had to use his local shop and that if he was caught again they'd issue him with a court summons. 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...

This lockdown is utter shite by the way, I hope you good folk of the motherland don't have to deal with it.
