This is in bad taste, Brenski. It's not the time for politics, neither yours nor mine. |

I get that, but we need to avoid political polarization at this time. We're in a period of tremendous social strain, unlike anything in peacetime since the Spanish flu. Just imagine that you'd have a Labour government now, and people were making those kinds of jokes about Tories. I'm sure you wouldn't enjoy that, and that would lead to further division and anger, too. Let's lay off each other's political sensibilities for now, just like we'd do in wartime. Because that's basically what this is. |

London lockdown is probably imminent if people do not take the advice on social distancing. |

We are about a week or so behind France, so yeah, it's coming soon. France was in lock-down yesterday, so we will also be locked down within the week. |

I'm certainly not trying to minimize the severity of the CoVid-19 virus, but it might behoove us to also keep in mind the following statistic from the CDC: The number of people who have died from *seasonal influenza* so far has now reached 20,000, including 136 influenza-associated deaths in children, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported as of February 29. I certainly was unaware that so many had perished from the "common flu". |

I certainly was unaware that so many had perished from the "common flu".In the most severe cases this flu manifests as pneumonia, requiring those severe cases to require hospitalisation and respirators to keep them alive. If too many cases occur in a short period of time, hospitals won't have enough respirators for everyone. So people will die of the virus but also due to lack of respirators. This, of course, is on top of all the flu cases you mention, and all the other 'normal' illnesses and accidents that hospitals have to deal with. In the UK the policy now is an almost complete lockdown of normal society for at least 3 weeks (but more likely it will be months rather than weeks) in the hope that our hospitals won't be overrun and everyone who needs care (especially respirators) will get that. |

So once this covid19 terror passes, what freedoms are we going to give up this time around? Forced immunisations, 24 hour surveillance, microchipping, cash ban, having to obtain permission to see certain individuals, social credit systems such as the one in china. It's all on the menu folks. |

Freddie Jupiter 26.03.2020 02:24 |
Why are we talking about moon landings and 911 all of a sudden? I don't recall saying anything about moon landings, or 911. Bloody hell this corona virus must also be infecting brains, as well as the respiratory system. |

Freddie Jupiter 26.03.2020 10:18 |
Really? So in your country the government hasn't been trying to immunise people, ban cash, and increase the amount of surveillance they have? Because where I live they've been trying to do all of that for years. |
thomasquinn 32989 26.03.2020 12:02 |
You're one fucked up individual. Do you understand that the biggest pandemic in a century is taking place, or do your weak personality and limited mental faculties make you hide in fantasies about plots and conspiracy theories? What does " trying to immunise people" even mean? Are you talking about COVID-19? There is no cure nor a vaccine, so that's not even a possibility. Or are you talking in general terms - like one of those pathetic anti-vaxers who are too dimwitted to understand that the eradication of smallpox and polio, amongst others, through vaccination are some of the greatest accomplishments of the 20th century? I get the distinct impression from your 185 obnoxious posts that you're one of those people who are of, shall we say, limited mental faculties, but who've managed to convince themselves that they're brilliant clear thinkers who can see what others can't, simply because they believe the opposite of what any credible source says. It saves the effort of actually using your brain and looks like you're a critical thinker anyway, right? |

And it looks like the NHS will be getting a substantial boost in funding. Thank goodness sanity is prevailing. Unlike the US where the sociopath in chief wants to "reopen" the country on Easter and refuses to pay for ventilators. |
