So we should go out and start smacking these goofy teenage dickheads in to the mouth for not observing social distancing - with absolute ****ing pleasure. Where do we sign up?

Youth gatherings are down 80%, while heavy sack beatings are up a shocking 900%.

I would have thought it might even be antibacterial?

WTF is virus bacteria?

Yeah if washed down with petrol after each use... They'd be like public door handles. Touched by hundreds of people a day. I'd wear gloves using one, and have. They provide them in most garages.

One thing
Can a mother or father bring her kids out for a walk in a town once they stay away from people?

Also can an elderly person go out for a walk?

Some say yes and some say no.

Here's the current official advice

bekker · 20-03-2020 04:32PM

The delay in getting ordered tests carried out, and in communicating results to test subjects appears to be growing, hopefully only temporarily.

Sincerely hope this is just a soon to rectified hiccup in processing the hugely increased number of tests, though some delays in delivering results were already apparent.

But a HSE spokesman coming out with 'bottle necks in the system', and 'everyone doing their best to rectify situation' are ominously reminiscent of previously encountered systematic problems in mid-layer HSE performance.
(RTE News Now, and AFAIR HSE morning briefing in course of responding to questions.)

The top layer, front-line and labs are doing phenomenal work, but it appears that the systematic problems in mid-level administration may not be over.

So Spain could be worse than Italy in a few days time. This is really hitting southern Europe hard for some reason. It will be interesting to see how a country like Belgium fares.

Belgium is in full lockdown since Tuesday.
2200+ cases, of which 164 in intensive care (of which 114 on a respirator)

Been happening a few years now - cash is dirty and germ ridden at the best of times

Most viruses attack bacteria
Interesting fact, about 70% of the biomass in the ocean are microbes, and of that 20% are killed by viruses every single day, it's almost all viruses killing bacteria like lunatics

Nothing to do with the comment above though

Very easy to social distance at a track, there wouldn't be several hundred at a behind close doors meeting.

I think as well people are complying with these measures on the basis they are only for 2 weeks. After that might be a different story

I'm even losterer now than I was when I posted that comment, just really glad that I have about 10,000 augmentin duo to take once this virus gets into my local community, going to start on a low dose to build up an immunity and ride it out.

We'll see who's laughing then!

They clearly feel they can implement social distancing and it's not hard given the size of a track. Its literally jockeys and trainer that's it, along with starter and a handful of officials

Jockeys aren't even in the same dressing room as each other.

Listening to New York Mayor on CNN now

Clear instructions to its citizens well worth listening to

Calling on companies/ individuals with stockpiles of PPE to donate them or sell them to the state

Asking companies to change production lines to making them

Used an acronym PAUSE ( cannot remember what it stands for will google)

Calling on elderly and those with underlying conditions to isolate themselves screen everyone who has to interact with them ( carers) wear a mask in this interaction and insist on the other party washing hands and putting on a mask, take solitary walks keeping well away from people

Telling younger people to cope on and stop congregating in crowds

Ended it all by saying I take full responsibility for all these measures

Lots of other measures

For every action an equal and opposite reaction.

That the English CMO and Chief Scientific Officer who proffered that herd immunity advice, and based it upon wrong/flawed research and interpretation really need to be held to some form of account.

Be it just a token sacking, rather than pitchforks...

They have cost lives already.

Presume you meant the following. Keeping it clean given the confusion regarding masks / respirators, don't want to add ventilator into the mix.

This. The wild meat market makes up about 5% of the consumed meat in china and its mainly the well off that eat it as it's expensive.

This is it. The toerag next door, who lives with his grandparents, was marauding around with his gang of mates. I called him up on it and his smart arse response was "the government aren't making us stay apart, they're just asking us to".

I reminded him that this kind of thinking is what leads governments to change from asking people to do something to making them do it.

****ing idiots.

When said grandparents get a 1500.00 fine if this is enforced, well??? that will learn em
