Coronavirus update - NO MORE RESTRICTIONS

[A Quiet Monkfish]

There's a reason I have not posted much on this subject on here and it's that, unlike quite a few contributors on here it seems, I accept that we're in a very fluid situation with a new virus that everyone, including the experts, are learning about on the hoof so to speak - in such circumstances, I don't feel I can contribute anything that qualifies as worthwhile.
Actually, although every time I hear the Government going on about washing your hands, I cannot help thinking of early episodes of Dad's Army which included Pathe News type pieces featuring shots of the likes of Corporal Jones and Private Godfrey ready to fight off Hitler's evil hordes with a pitchfork and a broom handle, I think this isn't a party political matter and feel that the Government is on a hiding to nothing with corona virus.
However, there is someone on the other side of the Atlantic who is out to politicise this for his own ends and it appears he has a few little helpers on here. I don't include you in that, I'm talking about the ones who accuse those who don't share their views of being useful idiots, gullible consumers of the MSM agenda etc. etc. while at the same time faithfully recycling what their favourite alt right site is telling them.

Fair enough, but to me it seems that whether it's a Govt. official, a 'Health Specialist, a Journalist/reporter, a TV interviewer, a radio presenter - whenever they're discussing or announcing something to do with Coronavirus it's given dramatic treatment as if they really want the situation to be more serious than it is. Some nutter on drugs blows himself up and we have 'COBRA' meetings to urgently discuss the latest [so-called] terrorist threat. Weather temperatures don't 'drop' overnight, they're going to 'plummet'. It's another reason why Blair, Hague, Cameron decided to help bomb 3 nations into anarchy - the thrill of playing soldiers, looking at maps, sounding all grim and serious - they loved it.

Anyway, they're all prats and I don't pay attention to any of them..

As opposed to "Cardiff City Messageboard" where you speak your truth

I've said in the past, I don't believe a word Boris Johnson says, but he is stating categorically that this cannot be compared with seasonal flu.
