I guess not but we should be testing as often as possible. I'll point you to the efficiency of South Korea who still, at this moment in time, have everything under control. And they've been testing faster than this cnut can spread.

of course the UK can shut schools. they are deliberately choosing not to, and for valid reasons. you clearly don't agree with those reasons, and that's fine, but it's silly to be suggesting this is somehow due to incomptenance. it's a valid strategy.
So why not say that? Dabbing is just stupid. He literally asks for the negative reaction with stupid stunts like this. Look at the responses to that tweet.
He probably meant well but he's typically Pogba'd it all up.
Get lost man. This is an important message. Take your agenda somewhere else.
I'm nearly sure that was the policy, unless I dreamt it. you aren't even to call 111 unless in an emergency. Any symptoms you simply isolate yourself, if I am wrongapologies.
just because you test someone doesn't solve the problem. they're still going to be treated the same way. rest, stay at home, isolate, plenty of fluids.
I'm not suggesting it's due to incompetence - I'm suggesting it's due to putting economic greed above people's lives.
We are too. Where you work?
yes because we all know twitter responses is a representation of sanity.
I really think Trump has it.
It's for kids and teenagers, mate.
Do you think they're listening to Boris Johnson...?
Is anyone?
Except it provides hope for the public that things will and can get better. At this moment, we're all looking for signs that we're working hard in protecting the community.
The best news surrounding this horrible predicament is the number seen in far east Asia over the last week or so.
Yep, which is what this forum is struggling with with the calls to shut everything down.
the economy is fecked no matter what, but we still have to retain some control over our society. these measures are ultimately designed to stop more people dying though that is the goal, because things are going to get a lot, lot worse. you don't seem to be acknowledging that.
It's not economic greed though is it. The economy sustains all our lives. If we shut the economy down then businesses start to fail and people lose their jobs. What are you going to do then when you're told to stay in your house with no job and you have bills to pay and kids to feed?
Really? He's surely been asked by the WHO to do this. It's harmless and maybe some kids will listen.
Don't see the problem.
Because, as stupid as it is, he's the guy who's known for dabbing and he's using his profile as such to spread awareness of what to do. I don't particularly care about the responses to that tweet, as Twitter is a cesspit. But if it's made at least one of his followers think where they wouldn't have before it then it was worthwhile.
Think back to the Vinnie Jones "staying alive" CPR video. Most people laughed at how stupid an ex-footballer/hard man doing a life saving procedure to the Beegees, but everybody who laughed remembers the beat they should do chest compressions at now should they have to
Hahahaha!
'Graeme, was it irresponsible for Liverpool to invite 3000 rabid fans from a Global Corona hotspot into the community...?'
'Pogba did it'
*Keano nodding wisely*
Another 208 cases in the UK so far today.
I can't remember. I remember the change in policy but had no idea it meant testing would be scrapped. We should be distributing thermometers, installing hand sanitisers all over the country but instead we're actively allowing everyone to get infected.
I think it's going to bankrupt certain people either way, I suppose shutting down things later will just allow people to save a litte money. What can a business do if it's employees are sick? Who will cook the food? Take the money? Make things?
I think world economies are going to have to subsidise people in one way or another.
I think its to stop a mad rush, only call 111 in an emergency, Boris is taking a massive gamble, the economy is getting put first.
Chairman of Forest Green Rovers saying we should continue the leagues behind closed doors. Doesn't he realise that half the players are fecking ill? Muppet.
Yeah, no idea. That's why we can't all hide away for months though. The costs of it are massive and there's a very strong argument that it just delays the inevitable at a far greater cost and unleashes it on a far more vulnerable country.
He probably thinks chucking vegan food down his players' throats give them immunity.
Is he:
- Anti Pogba for life
- Anti Frenchman in general because Martial FC and somebody ran over his cats
- Poorly timed troll
Agreed - although I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he says he has been tested and found to have beaten it.
Obama hasn't done that.

National emergency declared in Spain, ratified tomorrow. Gives the government some pretty strong - potentially Draconian - powers, but I'm glad they're getting their fingers out.

I agree, I was only talking about my reaction to the word "dab". If people aren't brainless and actually read the tweet and follow the link it's a useful tweet and the fact that we are actually talking about it in this thread shows that whether we like the delivery or not, the message went through which ultimately is the goal.
Yeah I agree that we have to keep vital businesses open, food outlets, pharmacies, supermarkets etc. But other businesses should close or operate in a limited capacity. We need to avoid people getting sick at the same time otherwise the health service will be overburdened.
desperate times call for desperate measures, unfortunately. Whatever Spain needs to do, they need to do it. And that goes for all other countries too.
Truedeau's wife has it but he's not getting tested because he doesn't have any symptoms, either.
Only a matter of time, though. Trump, Boris, and Justin will all get it.

Oh definitely, I was just surprised at some of the powers the act grants, requisition of possessions, rationing and things like that. Don't think they're coming round for my PS4 any time soon, but..
Absolute nonsense.
Used to love Pogba but all the antics have got me down. Sick of it. He's even made Covid-19 about him in a little way today. Ironic given its a virus.
Love paddy and Eric the King so the French stuff is clearly just more nonsense you're spewing.
Good try though.
But coughing into the crease of your elbow is much better than into your hands.
Its quite silly at first glance, but if it teaches kids it's an effective poster.
How's he made it about him? It's the WHO's campaign. Unless you're suggesting he called them with the idea, I don't see how what his involvement does that is so terrible.
