I was worried for a minute that George Lee's face was completely paralysed with fear.

Edit: WELL DONE Georgie bai, he just said it's not about how many cases they find but how many PEOPLE we SAVE.

I love that message.

They did it too late. It takes 4-6 weeks for and social controls to influence the case data. Important to note, it only slows the rate of growth. You may still get similar increases day on day e.g. Order of 1,000 until the growth ratio drops below 1.

And then when they lift the bans ?

surely the growth will just get exponential again ?

I'll tell you what's selfish, expecting fit young healthy people to sit at home, bored off their holes on Paddy's weekend.

Well fook that one. I was out last night and I'll be out tonight and probably Sunday night too.

If I'm going to die then I want one last ride before I go.

Martyr for the cause.
Lol.

I like a drink but these are times when we need to plan for our own personal survival.

They shouldnt have too,commonsense should be enough to have people stay in

But it will likely transpire they will have to now

The man advising Johnson Patrick Vallance has explained himself and his approach totally and quite simply and in full. You can pretend he hasn’t or that you haven’t seen the explanation but that’s hard to believe.
It’s a different approach to ours but that doesn’t make it wrong.
Do you expect the crisis here to be over in 2 weeks time when the schools reopen?

It does make it more risky.
Main assumptions are that reinfection doesn't occur or cause long term lung damage. There is evidence to suggest both but even still better to protect those most vulnerable / listen to WHO who's job it is to fight pandemics.
One second order affect of the decision will be a massive reduction in pension obligations.

If you wash your hands as often as possible, use anti bacterial wipes and try to confine yourself to home as much as possible then what possible benefit could it be to you to know where the sick people are?

This is a virus, anti bacterial does nothing. Need to look for something with virucidal in it.

Can hardly be worth it for pubs given the number of people actually going out never mind the health risks involved.

What do you mean?

Someone posted that Germany had 4181 cases of Covid 19 with 8 deaths whilst the UK had 1130 cases with 21 deaths. A poster replied that you should never underestimate the Germans. I said 'particularly when it comes to sudden death' which refers to the Germans nearly always beating England in sudden death shootouts.

Benny McCabe is closing his 15 pubs until April, reardens have already so thats pretty much the pub trade in the city, the rest will have to follow.

Have you the names of any products that contain that stuff please?

touts · 14-03-2020 07:51PM

I see they are still sticking to this notion that unless you were standing really really close to the person for 15 minutes you can't catch it BUT wash your hands because the virus can be on anything. Really they need to drop the whole 15 minute line. It's a hangover from the nothing to see here phase 10 days ago. And it's causing idiots to think they are find asking as they keep moving every 14 minutes in the pub/racecourse.

So is it completely irresponsible to go to the pub? Myself and my wife would like to go down for one, not necessarily because I'm mad for a pint but I want to support my local business. While one drink won't make it break them, I want them to still be there when this is over.

What do we think?

No laws against this yet . . . It could change tho!
Lots of rural pubs have a few in today. Follow procedures on social distancing and hand washing, we could be locked up for a few months yet!

molotov10_0 · 14-03-2020 07:51PM

Looking for some advice. My wife has booked a night away in a hotel in Ireland as a birthday present for us on Monday night. Thoughts on whether or not this is a good idea? Plan is to avoid social interactions, etc with other guests for the duration so I’m inclined to think it might be fine but a bit on edge nonetheless...

14-03-2020 07:51PM

Why are people so selfish? Do they not have loved ones to consider? This will visit every home and family if we continue with such complacency, many of our loved ones will suffer the consequences of a few pints or gym session.
