I've lived in Spain since 2013, these fecking idiots do my head in. And give responsible British expats a bad name.
Has this happened with other countries ?
Which british strategy? The one from a week ago, three days ago, or today?Did the Dutch just announce to follow Britain's strategy?
It actually helped me visualise what's supposedly going on but I havnt studied all this in as much detail as the rest of you so my opinion counts for little.
I guess in terms of child care, one teacher handles 30 kids, whereas no childminder gets anywhere near that. Getting them out of the home reduces need for elderly to be with them.
Let’s be honest, thousands, if not millions, of kids will be isolating in homes for 14 days at a time soon anyway, as the virus ramps up.
Gotta trust the modelling of people in the most senior and highly qualified positions. We can all pick holes in their logic, but nobody knows the best solution until hindsight and evaluation.
55 deaths in the UK now.
The 'herd immunity' one.
Mentioned on a GP forum that this will decimate the medical workforce unless they bring some nuance into it. Interesting that I can be in contact with a confirmed COVID case at work and carry on working if asymptomatic but if my one year old daughter has a fever with via an ear infection or something I would need two weeks off work
You seem to think the UK is some special place, where people are just 'different'. All countries have idiots like this, Ireland had shit loads of them out in pubs drinking from each other's pints the other night. All it takes is for a few of them to be arrested in a town for breaking government instructions and they will soon fall in line.
Amazon spain have both. Maybe not the brand you want, but I don't mind ordering them and getting them delivered to you? You can also use amazon.es from the UK if you'd prefer to do it yourself?
Formula infantil and panales.
Next few weeks will be telling. Threat seems to have exploded in London.
Apparently that was never officially their strategy. Misunderstood and all that..
And someone else is cashing in on it, it's just the worst of humanity.
Fannies.
Cynical, but you might be right. It was frustrating not to hear about similar measures to Denmark and Sweden, but even what those two countries offered was only a starting point.
Just deploy the fecking army. People tend to stop being that rebellious when automatic rifles are involved.
Listen mate I get we’re all stressed but leave cnuty McCunterson out of this alright
The Dutch leader Rutte specifically mentioned 'herd immunity'. Like, literally.
Had two retards on Snapchat doing that Saturday night, both live with (and are) extremely high risk people.
Just saw another person with a video up laughing at someone for wearing gloves at work on a computer. fecking cnuts, the whole fecking lot. Hope the virus takes them out so they can't spread it. World's gonna be a shitshow for years with this and the impending recession
Bummer mate.
What a lovely idea. I'm sure it has never ever been exploited.
I don’t think any country has gone from 100mph to 0 overnight. Other than in Wuhan
Aw mate, I'm fine. I bought 200 packs of nappies at the weekend across four supermarkets so I'm all good. Nabbed all the soap and toilet paper as well.
Nah... Seriously mate thanks for the offer but we're personally alright. We don't use formula and already have nappies as he's transitioning to pull ups, it was just noticeable as I was in that aisle buying rice pudding for the wee one. Got to watch out for new parents though as they'll be fecked by this.
Which can be dangerous. I'm certainly no expert, but I'm worried If people base their opinion on that video, and then use that opinion as an assurance to feel ok, but while doing so fail to sufficiently protect their closest family and friends. A lot of people are going to die, these numbers are actual people not just numbers so people need to take personal responsibility. If a person use that video as a reason to expose themselves to a virus and then inevitable infect their sick child, friends or parents, grandparents to the point they die, that is a horrible, horrible thing.
You're such a nice person.
Ireland will have a tough time, too (although not quite as bad, since its urban population is not as big - 63% versus 83% of the total).
In any case, I'm making a contrast between the UK and the likes of Singapore or South Korea.
But even beyond that, I'd argue that Britain has more idiots than almost any other country. Just ask the residents at any tourist hotspot. They'll happily tell you which nation gives them the cuntiest visitors. Everyone loves the Irish by comparison.
No worries, but it's worth bearing in mind that (at the moment at least) you can use any Amazon site for delivery to the UK. As for the two hundred nappies, hoarding cnut.
Seriously though, take care.
The policy of banning people from pubs wouldn't be 0 to 100mp. It's been happened across lot of countries over the past week.
I’m going to hit up both local Aldis first thing tomorrow for nappies, as we’ve got none and a baby possibly arriving any day!
Why was he tested if he had no symptoms?
Makes you wonder how many in the UK actually have been infected/are currently infected without knowing.
I know I've had a dry cough the past few days (not overly continuous - coughing every 30 minutes or so), and I rarely have a cough. I had the flu for 3 days 2 weeks ago, and a cold for a few days the week before.
Wasn’t it 34 yesterday?
I had the worst flu I've ever had in December too. Lasted from 18 Dec - 27 Dec. It was crazy because I'd just completed a 4 week powerlifting strength gain cycle in gym, and PR'd in all my lifts, so theoretically was the strongest Ive ever been. And yet during this flu, I could barely go for a 10 min walk before feeling exhausted.
Started with a dry cough, quickly became like I had glass in my throat and I was dreading each time I coughed. Lasted 3 days. Then came a crazy fever and the deep flu sleep that comes with that. That lasted 3 days. Then I had these crazy intense abdominal pains, like I'd been punched just below the rib cage. Half way through this saga, I felt vaguely suicidal for 3 days, especially at sleep time, when I was questioning the purpose of life itself.
My Mum also had it a few days before me, I almost certainly contracted it from her. She had very similar symptoms but not quite as bad and recovered more quickly. Neither of us went to the doctor, we just assumed it was seasonal flu and toughed it out using OTC medicines.
The Convid19 symptoms sound exactly the same.
You're such a nice person.
I am disgusted with how recklessly people are acting, given the circumstances
The conservative estimates are around 15k
Other than the run on supplies, the coronavirus doesn’t seem to complicate matters thankfully. It will more just be dealing with the complication of isolating from each other if we get it with a newborn in the house.
So what is the doomsday clock looking like right now? How long before many parts of the world go into chaos because of the virus and the brewing collapse of the global economical system?
