hearing arsehole teachers on de lash knowing many (not all) wud not surprise me
also clown cnt parents arranging play dates etc wtf is wrong with u, there are a generation of parents who dont know how to cope with kids.
sayz i with a 5 month old baby cretin who has kept her away from crowds in last two weeks
finally the idiots from Cheltenham should be shot up a dogs arse for the selfishness
as my mother said"i will shout at them... from a distance"

There will be some teachers who go on the lash and will do nothing for the next few weeks. Hopefully they will be disciplined when they get back to work. Most however seem to be struggling with various IT systems. I know one who was just told to look up Google Classroom and figure it out. She spent all day today trying to get set up and has her classes up now and posted homework etc for the weekend. Didn't get a very positive response from the students who all thought they were off. They are in for a right shock on Monday. She has video conferencing set up and ready to go. She'll even be taking rollcall! They'll be calling her some names when they get the mails.

Very concerned for UK approach and the fact it differs from ours , rest of Europe and rest of world. It assumes no permanent damage and 47 million people getting it. Bothering me all day. Felt better when government took approach of closing schools but this is deeply disturbing.

herd immunity =47 million infected, 1 million deaths, + further 8 million requiring critical care

Because we have zero responsibility and always blame someone else for our challenges.

And expect other people to sort it out.

Don't think so. We seem to have taken responsibility here and taken very decisive action.

During the financial crisis, we took our medicine and got ourselves out of the mess even though it meant a nasty dose of austerity.

There are some idiots but you find them in any society. Look across the Irish Sea or Atlantic if you want to see moronic behaviour at government level.

My boyfriend just informed me that his boss and his girlfriend are off to Tenerife until Thursday, and they plan to rock back into work the following Monday no screening no testing no nothing. People seem to be categorise where is “safe” to travel to based on the amount of positive cases there; completely forgetting the important fact that in order to get there you’ve to travel through an airport likely riddled with the infection and travel on a plane that’s been god knows where before you. My boyfriend is worried because his mother has not only cardiovascular disease but high BP and diabetes, she’s basically a right off if she gets this disease. He’s now thinking of taking the two weeks off when they return because of their moronic and selfish behaviour.

Isn't that where CinemaGuy45 is meant to be going shortly? You don't suppose....?

This could be awkward.

We are an Island, we should be using this to our advantage.. Close the airports, no flights in or out for the foreseeable future...Send the army up to the Northern border and stop the flow of people to and from the north... Tough love but that is what it will take to keep us safe..

We're a month too late for that, the country is riddled with it, and every day we let tens of thousands more in.


The ONE single advantage we had over the rest of europe and we did'nt bother our bollocks to use it.

What do people want people to do? Are the horror stories from ICUs in Italy even widespread? People need to be told that Health care workers are in for a ****ing ****storm if this isn’t taken seriously. People will die in incredible numbers(if this is the case)

Went out for 1h came back and refresh my last page on boards. Great only three pages behind. Then realized new thread 12 pages behind. New threads and pages here are more contagious then the Corona virus itself.

Yes & no. If hands are washed more regularly than the gloves changed then the washed hands carry less bacteria. Many studies have proven this. When people have gloves on they tend to think they can touch anything & their hands are sterile.

Brother in law just landed in Krakow, the army boarded the plane and did temperature checks. Told them the border is closed for 10 days from tomorrow and potentially up to 30 days. His wife is Polish so plenty of family but completely unexpected when he took off at 7PM this evening

Sitting in a cinema right now with a load of people in a confined room for two hours is a very bad idea.

The UK taking a laissez faire attitude to an emergency isn't a new thing. We should know that.

Some local restaurants here offering a drive through option (Not just Mickey D's etc) just call ahead and they will bring it out to your car. we need to support this stuff if we can. keep our neigbours in jobs and livelihoods.

If it goes as badly as most seem to think, in 6 months time we'll hear on the news that his body has been found with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

There is a possibility that children may transmit the infection without any symptoms at all, or they may have a very mild form of the illness that is not obvious. Please, people at risk (heart disease, on blood pressure tablets, diabetes, >60years old, on tablets to dampen the immune system), avoid children where possible! While the vast, vast majority of children are fine with the virus, they can pass it to a vulnerable loved-one, who will not become very ill. While the pandemic is at large, be sensible!
