Coronavirus update - NO MORE RESTRICTIONS

Re: Coronavirus update

This leaves me to assume that you are not that old

I have no problem with those who understand the consequences of allowing inflation to rip and having to shoulder the extra tax burden because of the measures the government has taken and promised to take (unlimited spending). If I was older I wouldn't be much concerned as I haven't any health conditions.

Re: Coronavirus update

But these measures are the only thing that have worked in China and Italy.

I think we all just need to admit that we dont know everything about everything and it’s ok for speculation we’ve made on a messageboard not to be right all the time

Have they worked in China?

Given China kept schtum for 6 weeks, arrested and persecutred whistleblowing medical staff, I'd take any claims made by China with a very large pinch of salt. Time they were totally isolated by the world given this is now the what 5th virus spread from there...

Yes that’s the biggest issue do we believe China’s figures.

I believe they must have stopped getting as many infections as a lot of my colleagues are back at work and I think they would have stayed locked down if they were still getting infections.

Whether I believe the numbers for total number of deaths is another matter.

That's a lot of faith to put into a nation whose lies caused the global pandemic tbh.

Pretty much any of your Chinese colleagues, who are back in work, will be virus free. They will have been monitored every time they enter their work place.
Their movements before they came back to work would have been easily monitored too.
It's not foolproof, but near to it.

Re: Coronavirus update

Bad. I think .gov should spell out repeatedly in simple language who are most at risk and that they should stay indoors and avoid contact with others as much as practicable.

This is what you previously thought

My hypothesis is it's a mild form of flu released by the ChiComs that's not life threatening to anyone other than east Asians and is less of a risk to east Asians themselves than the flu umpteen thousands die of every year when bronchitis or pneumonia set in. Put another way, it's tons of hype with very little substance to those who choose to look beyond the hype, which you and others appear incapable of. If you care to view footage from China their citizens' body temperature is checked whenever they take to the streets by people using a handheld device.

It's widely accepted that during Chairman Mao's tenure their utterly ruthless Communist Party deliberately killed around 60 million Chinese citizens, mostly by starvation. And China is far more overpopulated today than then.

so it doesn't really matter what you think now

Well it's a judgement but based on that my colleagues usually work 6 days a week 9am to 9pm and for over 2 months they were at home barely working and now they're back. I just don't think they would have stopped work like that for so long for nothing and then starting again without being sure the situation was better.

I don't believe the official numbers they put out at all though.

Yes they get temperature checks every day I think. It definitely seems to have really calmed down over there now. The chinese lads in our London office really want to go back but aren't allowed.

Okay, my opinion doesn't matter. I don't care what you think about anything too. Not being horrible, I just couldn't care less.

Re: Coronavirus update

I know Chinese people who live elsewhere in Asia that are now itching to return because China is a lot safer now.

When I'm out and about now, it's ME that's starting to get 'static' off some of the locals.
What a topsy-turvy world we live in right now, eh!

Yes a few of them over here were getting grief for months when they are out and about. I fear you'll be getting the same looks in public now!

It used to be that you coughed to cover up a fart, I've started farting to cover up a cough!

Thats nice for you.
From this I would also assume that you have a nice fat pension pot building too so no money worries either.
Great stuff

I was going sign off with a "stay safe" but it sounds like you don't really need to hear that.
