India and Pakistan’s coronavirus containment stratwgy should be to immediately have our cricket teams play Each other , in back-to-back games for a week straight. That's the only way we will all stay put at home

The mass loss of life has come when public medical facilities have become too busy and they haven't been able to give everyone the care they require - this isn't something that the million/billionaires who can afford private (or even personal) care have to worry about. Rich people are less likely to be in risk groups in the first place because they can afford better care, have better diets, better quality of life etc. They're also more able to self-isolate than others as they don't have to keep going to work in a pandemic to keep food on the table, are less likely to cohabit with others outside their family, have more spacious houses, less need to take public transport and so on and so forth.
If we come out of this and the stats show that death rates amongst economic and political elites reflect those across the socioeconomic spectrum I'll be very surprised.
Until one team wins and everybody goes and celebrates in the streets
You can also download it online for the same price, there really no need to leave the house for a video game.
Yeah but then you don't get that new box smell, now with added Coronavirus!
Who says anything about 12 months?
Even if we do have unrest, I'd rather think the later it is, the better. More immune people, (hopefully) less virulent strains being selected, closer to vaccines, better knowledge of treatment options.
It makes more sense to start restrictive and ease up as tensions force you to, than allow chaos to install itself and wasting time. 12 weeks of this could only be good.
Stiff upper lip,guys. Gotta take this on the chin.

Won't somebody think of the health of businesses?!
I think this verdict was inevitable. The minimum extra they need to do alongside it, is schedule actual exams for students who want to take a chance on getting a better grade in November. It used to be that students could do resits at that time.
This year, students should be allowed to take the grade they're offered or do the exam late. Not much help for university applicants of course, but at least they'll get a real option rather than a year on hold.
In the old days (ie: before education secretary Michael Gove) they used to have other stuff like coursework, and year 12 exams/units they could use, so there might have been a realistic plan B. Now they're stuck with whatever happened last year and whatever happened in the mocks.
Not really what you'd like to hear I guess but the number of people they test is just very low. Read it quite a few times by now and just checked the homepage of the ministry of health Japan: https://www.mhlw.go.jp/stf/seisakunitsuite/bunya/newpage_00032.html according to that they only tested 14k people so far and that was last updated yesterday. These numbers are actually even lower than what I read in some other reports.
No, wherever did you get that idea? Anyway, there haven't been any churches holding Mass here for weeks now.As with every decision being made right now, the only available choices are 'bad', 'worse' or 'even worse than that'.
This is the bad choice.
Nobody wants to make it. But these are the times we're living in.
Same reasoning applies to the strategy of having kids of key workers go to school. It's not ideal, but the alternative is that we cripple the country completely. This way we can at least still hobble along.
I bet it ends up impacting poorer areas significantly worse and grammer schools benefit.
I'd have been screwed as i was predicted C and D due to poor teachers but i got As in the end. The only one i didn't was in IT (despite being able to code at this point) because my alcoholic teacher lost everyones coursework and seemed to give out As based on whether you had tits or not.
I'm the latter. My blood pressure is controlled by medication. I've got to steer clear from salt though.
I'm practising social distancing. Work, supermarket then home. Not that there is much left in the supermarket by the time I finish work and that's only 14:00, I can't imagine what it's like for the people who finish at 17:00 or later.
I've mentioned in an earlier post that I think every government should be held accountable on the way it dealt (and dealing) with the crisis within its territory.
However, the ramifications of the actions and failures in China, in dealing with the outbreak, bear the biggest impact of all.
Can you imagine a reality where, at the very least, the scientific community had an extra month or two to work on an anti-viral or a vaccine, let alone put an action plan for the governments?
We're talking about thousands of lives!
Even just tightening international movement at an earlier stage - in light of real-time data from Wuhan - would have saved many lives and possibly the need for such drastic lock-downs.
And, the economic impact of the cover-up in the first month or two, will remain with us for years and years.
By the end of last week, the number of cases should have gone down to zero.
I hope they're right.
When I was at high school and sixth form, we knew the mocks alongside coursework and already taken exams would be the biggest determining factor in our awarded grades if exceptional circumstances happened. Not sure what else people think could happen.

Is her purpose to get abuse online ?
Curious what it is...maybe sheet fecking?
It's not even that, the "good kids" and teachers favourites will get grades above what they should too I reckon.

Tuesday at 3:12 pm. feel better now? glad I could help out
Are you truly the stupidest person in the world? Ok then. Americans need a date-certain when each of us will shuffle off this moral coil.
I'll give you a hint. It will end a lot later than it should because you and the criminal in the WH lied and called the pandemic a Dem hoax.

Well if you can't go down the pub you can still socialise with your mates on your Xbox.

These “people” are literally too stupid to insult.
Thankyou for correcting me penna. I was thinking more about the Sunday masses that were held before the outbreak became fully known.
