O/T Coronavirus Thread

[mikemiller]

Why are ordinary schools in England (with only a few exceptions due to infection) having to remain open then? Eton is not closing because of infection/self isolation, but because of the significant risk. Looks like government policy is likely to change in next few hours - due to PUBLIC pressure, not because the government wants to. Thought the government was supposed to be listening?

Of late??????

There is no one to blame for the pandemic.
But some of you seem to be blaming the government.
All want compensation for something or other. It's just too bad.
This is not a dress rehearsal.
Get on with it.

I do blame the government, the Chinese government, they're an authoritarian regime who could have closed these wild animal meat markets years ago.

Are you on a wind up? Give it a rest.

That goes for others baiting on here. Sooner or later someone on here is going to lose a family member or friend.

If you wanted to make a difference why didn't you urge the PUBLIC to insist on quarantining that coronavirus Ship in February?

There seemed to be massive media interest in getting those passengers on a plane back to the UK. Wonder how many deaths in Europe can be linked to passengers on that ship.

I don't particularly believe any EU government is not acting in the best interests of it's citizens.

You should be focusing on where this virus originated and why. Oh no. lets make it political and start some sort of blame game.

If you're fit and able get off here and go and help people. If you want to isolate, turn your broadband off and give it a rest for a bit.

Grow up boys. FFS.

This article was compiled in sept last year.

Any comments howdy?

Admittedly not just our govt but why have we all ignored the potential problem? What do you reckon our govt should do in future when this settles down? Do we prepare for another or just carry on as if nowts happened?

No, I'm not on a wind up. I'm questioning the strategy used by this government. Germany and Japan , for example, have kept the number of deaths down more effectively than the UK has. Have a look at the figures - they are widely available. I could lose a family member or friend myself, or even die, that is why I am taking this matter seriously. If you want to close your eyes to that, that is up to you.
