Now we have to come out of this and the question is how to proceed to continue to maintain hospitals not over run. We will come out of this, the world eventually went back to normal after other pandemics and we will here too, just a question of the next step

Maybe not that guy that you are talking about but its definitely happening. One pub near me is only closed in the sense that the shutters on the front are closed, the entrance at the back lane is open for regulars. I had a few pints myself on Thursday but the owner was strict about social distance and hygiene

They just keep on announcing high numbers every day and have the public in a state of panic / want to give up on this. Why are numbers high again - when will they be low. Can you get this walking outside ? What is low growth ? when will this end ? Countries at a similar point to us have plans now to start opening up again and they are going on as if - if we are not good boys and girls - more to come as we were bold.

The point I was making was that people were lead believe that banks would fail, hospital equipment would fail, people were advised to stock pile food and water in the UK. Now if you think that was an appropriate response to a non issue in 1999 I hope you dont lay eggs
