If we can afford to give everyone a fair wage to stay at home for a few months, what possible reason do you have not to?

Worldmeters info has 385 deaths for Spain and Spain officially say 514 dead in last 24 hours, a new record so there hasn't been a drop. Wiki use worldmeters info. The totals are the same but looking at graphs and percentages on wiki can be misleading day to day for some countries.
cnut.
Glad I refuse to set foot in their pubs. What a terrible man.
I'm guessing I might not want to read that as a 60mile a week runner
Although in fairness, it's not "too much" for me as I've spent years doing it.
My original point (perhaps hastily worded) is just that marathon runners aren't necessarily paragons of health that they appear to be paraded as, and prolonged, strenuous exercise of the sort can make people potentially more prone to contracting an illness like this instead of acting as a preventative measure.
Since everyone is locked inside, looks like nobody's clocking the miles for this to be relevant anyway, so I'll leave it at that.
You don't need to be reminded -- they all look like shitholes.
If Wetherspoons ceases to exist after this is all said and done, some good will have come of it. Tim Martin is an abhorrent individual.
Add Mike Ashley's empire to that. Would be pleasing to see.
Complete lockdown in India for the next 3 weeks. I hope this does the trick for us
We could be hunkering down for a decent therapeutic that will make the symptoms less severe though.
No. I can only leave using my British passport as that's what I used to enter with.
Fair enough mate. Just thought in an off-chance you might have found that helpful. Did you decide to come home or?
Colombo would be shaking his head at you guys. As am I:
Means: highly deadly infection
Opportunity: pandemic, cause of death reported by coroner - natural
All important Motive: Husband and 77 year old friend shagging behind her back for years/decades
Don't they get an average of the last so many months?
Here's Brexit hero Tim Martin.
This tweet is such BS. I saw the video, he didn't say it in a negative way at all, although he should be paying his workers.
What a sacrifice. Exercised his faith to the letter and the spirit.
Yeah right, the day the lockdown is lifted every one of those pubs will packed out the door. People just gladly eat shit.
Complete lockdown in India for 3 weeks from midnight
Indian government has locked down the entire county for the next 21 days!
I'm terrified now. It really seems like nobody has any exit strategy here. If we loosen up on the lockdowns, it will come back. Only vaccine can save us.
Still talking to her about it here.
I can get that London flight although I don't fancy the idea of being stuck in an economy seat for 13 hours straight.
Stupid is as stupid does.
Not a future great PM after all. Who'd a thunk?
Yep. It's important to distinguish between "he looks like a future Prime Minister" and "he looks like a future Prime Minister who won't be a total cnut".

Containment is the only way. Get the confirmed number of infections down to a manageable level, then do mass testing to find and trace as many of the infected as possible. Then it's a constant game of tightening and loosening restrictions to keep this thing in control without having to shut off society. In that time, increase your health care capacity (beds, ventilators,etc) and hope an antiviral comes into play - which is more likely than a vaccine. An antiviral would be an immediate game changer because it can increase your capacity to treat people by 10 - 100x.
Every day is another day in advancement and preparation. A vaccine might be a long way off, but treatment for symptoms could be on its way before that.
The idea is to get it down to manageable levels and then keep everyone monitored.
A country like China has had zero to 4 new locally transmitted cases a day recently, in a country of 2 billion.
The world will be very different after this, but slowly, we are getting more and more prepared to fight it.
You do realise after this they will own us?
@FeneR, actually the studies show that an athlete “can” be at an increased risk during periods of heavy intense training and a couple of weeks after a race only.
They also show that moderate activity may enhance immune function.
So, being a marathon runner absolutely is healthy, or can be, depending on the individual runner and their current training. Whereas you made out it’s anything but which was way too wishy washy with the facts.
India Prime Minister orders a total lockdown.
It's the arrogance that got me.Her fecking voice
He might be a future PM but he will be a Tory PM.
I think he's actually right to some extent. Some self employed people are going to be making hay because the sun is shining incredibly brightly right now.
You could allow people to apply on the caveat that if they bring in a certain amount between two dates they are liable to pay it back by a certain date but how do you police that? People will use all sorts of accounting wizardry to ensure their accounts are beneficial to them when the time comes to evaluate if they should pay it back or not.
