Yup, the economy is far more important than saving lives! What a scumbag

Lots of essentials like rabbit food, reptile food etc can't be bought in supermarkets.

Surely you could buy/grow salads for rabbits?

Donald Trump, in his latest briefing, expects this will pass in weeks (rather than months)!

Fupping loon! Things only kicking off in the US.

Only positive is that every time he opens his mouth he reduces his chance of being re-elected.

He takes tremendous breaths, huge breaths, really.

There won’t be an election this year

Also, Trump is so stupid he’s pretty much guaranteed to get infected so he’ll probably end up hospitalized from this. We’ll see how well his cures work then

Yep the truth doesn't really matter in politics nowadays. Especially for the people who are his core support.

Rabbits are a great pet during these hard times, quite edible and plenty of recipes.

Half of them think this virus was created in a lab somewhere and was released on purpose. When this ends there will probably be more anti vaccine loons, not fewer.

How could there possibly be a tested vaccine within 3 months?

100% correct reply to that daft post, oh, and username checks out by the way. When the vaccine is sourced, you're in charge of distribution Papi.

Seems like many of the people who don't want a full shut down are those who are already working from the comfort of their own homes.

The rest who can't work from home deserve to be safe too.

In the pot if you’re stuck.
Did you ever hear the saying “a Tyrone woman won’t buy a rabbit without its head for fear it’s a cat”.
It’s an old proverb.
Now, there’s a bit of learning for ye.

Watching that prepping series on Netflix a lot of the preppers keep rabbits and chickens. Makes total sense, easy to feed and provide a good amount of food for small animals.

New Zealand going full lockdown route and they only have 100 odd confirmed cases.

They are taking advantage of their geography and we had a similar advantage albeit with the north complicating things a bit.

Shuttering the island and a healthy supply of these new rapid test kits could be a game changer.

Rapid test kits return results within 15 min.

And I dont know, latest surveys show that most Republican voters are actually satisfied with how he is handling this whole thing

Most republican voters are hillbilly rednecks with an iq of about 2.
I work in an international company and the utter ****e and bile that comes out of republicans mouths is absolutely unbelievable. They’re just bat**** crazy.

Serious question and forgive me if it comes across as scare mongering.

But we are looking at the UK and saying they're fecked / got it wrong / put themselves into lockdown.

They have had 6650 cases
We have had 1,125

Their population 66.44 million
Our population 4.83 million

They've had a case for every 9990 people
We've had one for every 4293

But they're much worse off than us?

How?

Well done with your calculations, it does indeed make you wonder why so many people 'posting here' criticise Boris & the UK so harshly in their approach to this unprecedented crisis.

There's a reason he is calling it the Chinese virus.

Will blame the Chinese when trying to deflect from how he sat on his hands for weeks when action was needed.

How many are they actually testing though? They only started taking this seriously a week ago.

The fact johnson has to address the nation and stress the seriousness of the situation shows he is very worried about what lies ahead.

A friend posted this on Facebook. Don't agree at all with the bit on the left.

We have to confront people that are not taking it seriously. Social pressure needs to be applied. The passive route won't work here, we are at war with the virus.

You do realise they are only testing people hospitalised in the UK?

These figures are meaningless in this context.

Inform yourself more before posting horse manure commentary please.

To the self appointed experts everywhere saying lockdown. Stop. Our people will make the decision when they need to. 99% of people are now in pretty much lockdown. People are going to be depressed into oblivion with all this talk. I was on the phone to my parents last night and they were so upset at the idea of further measures on lockdown, they are already isolating but enjoy a short walk or two everyday to stay sane.

I know it won't happen but for everyones mental state can those championing lockdown stop and wait to be told. It's crazy.

China blamed US military for the virus. (Media reported)
China tried to surpress news about the virus (media reported)
China imprisoned a doctor who tried to warn about the virus (media reported)

You just made up your version. Trump is an idiot but China is not your friend.

The numbers testing positive isnt a good thing to compare countries with at all. The numbers hospitalized, the amount in ICU and the number of deaths are the only things that matter.

Call out service - no need for shop

Same potential result as having a store open, you have someone visiting different houses, rather than the people visiting the shop.

Also if you only have a mobile and the sim or another component dies, how do you contact a service to have someone come to your home to repair/replace it?

Your hardly going to drop round to the neighbors to use their phone or ask them to make a call for you.

Problem is people don't give a Fu*k as it is. That'll only intensify given everything lately.
