Lol.

Boris now putting in place what Ireland did last Thursday.

And making the same mistake with advising rather than ordering

Especially important for over 70s and pregnant women to observe

All the yoof will party as normal

laugh · 16-03-2020 05:57PM

Doesn't sounds like he is going far enough.

Kermit.de.frog · 16-03-2020 05:57PM

Boris saying "should do this", "should do that"

No action.

Anyone else getting depressed by the bleak news on economy? You know, people losing their jobs, airlines possibly going bankrupt by end of May etc.? I am trying to stay optimistic but the way things are going, I'm starting to wonder whether it would be better to just catch corona and kick the bucket than end up living on the streets by the end of this year.

(Which is bad enough) Her brother is unwell and in Beaumont hospital (not corna ) she wants to go visit tonight , is it a good idea ?
I'm worried sick if she catches something and brings it home and then I pass it on to my own parents who would be very vulnerable to the virus ,

Unless he is terminally ill make sure she stays far away from the hospital. Tie her down if necessary.;)

That's right Boris, lets get Coronavirus done.

Haha he couldn't say the letters E and U there.

Surely, the World Health Organisation (WHO) must have thought of the likelihood that local officials in China would cover-up the first diagnoses in the event of a dangerous virus breaking out. So why didn't the WHO advise that travel to and from China be suspended as soon as suspicions arose?

Why has the WHO let the Chinese government dictate to it?

China is now a major donor country to multilateral organisations. As Trump has pulled American money from these orgs, China has stepped in with the cash.

Boris is paying particular attention to London. Mass gatherings won’t be supported be emergency workers according to him.

Funkfield · 16-03-2020 05:58PM

"leading a campaign to fight back"

YES. As a self-employed person it is scarier than the virus itself. I need that jacks roll!!!

The danger in the UK is that I feel they're always on the precipice of serious civil unrest, which is really quite bizarre for a Western country.

It definitely needs to be baby steps or they'll start looting.

Wild-animal wet-markets are widespread in China, not just in Wuhan. If a blind eye is being turned, it's being turned at a national level.

It's very odd seeing Irish people parrot the ancient and well-worn Chinese political canard that the local functionary is corrupt but the Emperor and his circle are beyond reproach. Just goes to show that Beijing's propaganda efforts are paying dividends.

Propaganda is in the eye of the beholder.

You don't realise how well Leo speaks until you listen to Boris

Stheno · 16-03-2020 06:01PM

Didn't he also say that even if you have symptoms and you have to th as its it's ok to go out to get supplies!!

Jpmarn · 16-03-2020 06:01PM

Reminder the rate of infection is lower in UK than Republic of Ireland.

Is he terminal ? They won't let her or anyone in unless he is going to die soon. As least thats the way it is in my hospital.

They haven't changed anything.

They're clearly still going the herd immunity route, it's just by telling people they should self isolate they're also covering themselves from people that think that's the route they should take.

There'd be a closure of schools etc if they were rolling back.

They've clearly been advised that this is the best approach for them. Nothing new has come to light in the past 48 hours for them to change that stance.

This is gone well past China now, its in the back yard banging at the door but if it makes you feel better keep talking about China.

We all need to learn how to grow our own vegetables.

And 4 months later you might be able to harvest and eat them. Meanwhile, you will still need to buy vegetables until then.
