O/T Coronavirus Thread

[Shark27]

Shark if that’s your advice I’m fine thanks. He specifically said stay at home. The healthcare workers are pleading for people to stay at home. My wife has asthma and I am not going to bring any virus home. I have been in business 47 years and have loved what I do. We consistently have to perform to strict budget. However, the only charts I am interested in presently are the heartbreaking increases in loss of life .You pass this way but once and I am with the New York Mayor who says you cannot put a price on human life. I will work from home but go to the office......no chance.

So you should if you can. I'm staying at home too. My wife isn't because she has to look after the children of NHS staff at her school and deliver school lunches to certain children who are at home.

You are being responsible. There should be no reason to be talking about needless visits to family. Thats not Boris's fault. That's irresponsible people in this country. Just like the congregation who were caught having a BBQ.

Well said.

Shark. I used the family reference because I was referring to my family’s germs being cleaner than those of people you don’t know. I have no intention of paying family visits. All I was trying to set out the futility of simply asking certain people to do something- they have to be told.

No I didn't. Did he tell everyone to go out and party?

If people still don’t know what they need to do then they need help.

The government should lock London down all together imo then if needed start on other cities where the virus is most active

I think this is the central point, do we need really someone to tell us?

[Exiletyke]

No I didn't. Did he tell everyone to go out and party?

No not everyone just construction workers [even none essential] so long as they observed the distancing protocol
Another Minister saying the same this morning, can't remember his name [all after taking advice from Public Health Britain experts]

Yes we do, it's called leadership
