Re: Coronavirus update

never mind quarantine they will have riots on there hands next...

im already an out of work nightclub dj... club has not yet officially announced it will close but with no help from gov regarding health or police care... how can they guarantee your safety so... public liability insurance will be void and without that you cant hold a mass gathering in a venue... so thats me out of work already

my mrs is out of work at the end of the week... her store she works in has done there own forecast model and will be shutting up shop laying everyone off... yes she will get a little payout but it will amount to around £500 which wont buy a few packs a bog roll at this rate... so in a matter of days we are both out of work... yeah i know millions if not billions worldwide will soon be too

but its all bonkers... folks cant go to bars clubs theatre but my kids can go to school on stinking buses and mix with 1,500 other kids plus teachers and parents... ???
cant go to the pub where there a few people but can go to school... ok

flybe went into admin like a day into this drama... ok give or so a few days and they were already in deep trouble but a day... back when we were all laughing this off for flu... aviation has been hit hard obviously, grounding fleets of planes laying off thousands of staff... but before they announced border cut offs and incoming flights from other countries ??? ok

folks will be destitute and will riot and loot what ever the stores have left...im sure of it

how is all this happening righ now

I am not generally a gloom and doom merchant on here but I have also thought that looting may very well be a problem in the coming months.

We rioted for a week almost country wide because a drug dealer got shot on the way to kill someone.

I can only imagine what it will be like once businesses go under and people stop getting paid.

Pretty 100% anti- govt. articles as far back as you can go.

F*cking hell you have to be on a wind up.

If I was a delivery driver for one of those supermarkets I'd be worried as well - likelihood of being "held up" by 21st century highwaymen must be a possibility...

i would have thought that from the point you stop paying it will take a couple of months to get to the point where you no longer have service - and by that time government intervention will have done something about it.

anyway lets hope so.

Food and power are the main things you need to have.

Re: Coronavirus update

Maybe yes, but balanced against how many people back then thought it was a fuss over nothing (let alone now) it would never have worked.

Can you really see millions of people locking themselves away for twelve weeks at any time? Judging by what France are doing, I think it's not just the elderly and the vulnerable that will be expected to do it soon - people will start off with good intentions, but will soon start rebelling and risking whatever punishment they'll be threatened with.

There were people looting the houses down Nantgarw that were abandoned during the floods.

Nothing will surprise me.

Re: Coronavirus update

The editor of the Lancet is quoted as saying
"We have wasted 7 weeks. This crisis was entirely preventable"

The same Lancet who backed Wakefield re vaccination causing autism claims?

The same Lancet that retracted the Wakefield article more than a decade ago. That's a pretty weak attempt at discrediting a pretty widely respected journal.

Exactly anything that has an issue will be pushed to the wall quickly. Do you think this virus isn't going to have a huge eefect on the economy?

Struggling businesses will be the first to go, many more will follow.

They need propping up and fast!
Mr Indecisive passing the buck is not helping matters and the guidance being broadcast of how to claim off the DWP once the unthinkable has happened is just crass!
