It's entitlement too, I guess, mate.
SARS CoV-2 coronavirus / Covid-19 (No tin foil hat silliness please)
- Thread starter Don't Kill Bill
- Start date
Ah yes, because senior directors are told the try making everyone panic by calling things "fecking petrifying"
Also, from what they said on Sky News, those who are home schooled get their grades picked by who is teaching them (aka their parents in a lot of cases). Absolute shitshow.
Very true Steve, at the risk of generalising there are a great many Americans who think they are inherently better and more deserving of x,y and z than the rest of the world.
Arcadia Group is gone apparently
Jesus, yeah cos mam and dad aren't going to be biased.
Could companies benefit from this? As in, going "bankrupt" now could work in their favour somehow? Could they just not pay staff redundancy and stuff? Seems companies are willing to say "we are done" very quickly, I mean, it's not even been a month really has it?
Same is true in Turkey. People carried it back after a trip to Mecca and then ran away from quarantine.
Dopey bastards.
Arcadia was in trouble before to be fair. Still a huge amount unemployed though as theyre a big employer.
It's a result of being the most powerful nation in the world for so long and never experiencing the catastrophic destruction of the 20th-century wars on our own home soil. It's hubris and it comes before the fall. See Trump, Donald.
fecking inevitable. Boris is an idiot who doesn't realise that distancing is, not to stop the virus but stop exactly this. Not only that but him and his Unionist prick friends up North have put the entire island of Ireland at risk because of some stupid 'we are a part of the UK' ideal. They should all burn for this. During a pandemic any 'nationalistic' feelings should be discarded. Maybe Arlene should realise that following our rules on this doesn't make them a part of the republic.
To be fair has anyone tried just shooting the virus yet?
North Korea, I think.
It's not his fault - he must've been confused by Twitter Trends: '#Distanacing', '#Panickbuying', '#Cornetvirus' etc.
How inconsiderate! Doesn't this virus know we are running on a timetable here
Nit the sharpest tool in the box, this one.
One of BJ's biggest backers is the owner of Wetherspoons and he doesn't want pubs shut for obvious reasons.
According to their press secretary it was a huge success!
It's messed up mate. Profits before people.
On sky news Italy it says that the death rate in the UK is higher than Italy was at the same point in the trajectory. Not sure if that's right but really worrying considering that Italy has an older population and we're struck by the virus sooner than the uk
My old local pub in Berkshire closed on Wednesday. They're now in operation as a (posh) takeaway and off licence. Order by phone and pickup outside or drive through. They're now trying to update their insurance to offer deliveries.
There's a tiny shop in the village and they're going to try and run a mini supermarket between them as the pub/hotel has bigger stockroom/fridges/freezers etc (they're more or less across the road to each other) with a delivery service.
Just a nice diversion from wetherspoons etc.

Life is normal here in the West of London. Doesn't seem much different from any other Friday. Drove past my local McDs and the car park was packed. Gosh, people are so fecking stupid.
Finally something sensible coming out of Turkey
256 now. Largest daily increase today.
I have a feeling there will be a new appreciation for teachers after this ends.
It's all kicking of now on the sae trajectory as Italy roughly. People will start to learn the hard way. I went to the local shops at lunch and it was 50% old people, there at the busiest time of the day. I mean they literally have all day to do their shopping. Nuts.
Northwick Park Critical Incident was in place for 24 hours and is now stood down according to BBC.
Totally messed up.
Don’t know about the trajectory but if I recall correctly we identified out first Coronavirus case a few days before Italy although my recall could well be faulty.
Yep. Just said the same thing in another thread. Big groups of them in town today. Not sinking in at all I'm afraid.
What are you on about? Turkey's done a pretty good job so far with its measures against the virus.
I do enjoy my letters. All the letters. There’s 26 of them, not everybody knows that.
Where are you seeing this?
Any news from Italy today?
39 deaths in UK today
I think there will be a new appreciation for a vast number of overlooked jobs, from farms and factory right through the supply chain to supermarkets.
It's heartening to hear about instances of community spirit, even if some of them have a commercial angle.
It’s closing time.
