gonzo Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Again there seems to be a strange polarisation taking place here. Same with global warming, Brexit, vegan etc etc On one side you’ve the Brexiteers, meat eating, coal burning climate change deniers saying it’s all a pile of shit and there fuck all to worry about. On the other side you’ve got the lefty leaning, vegan nonce brigade saying the worlds about to end and everybody should be wrapped in clingfilm sat in the basement. weird how it always ends up one side against the other and it’s always the same people either side. obvioulsy you’ve got sane people somewhere in the middle but those voices are never heard.

And those that had caught it first time around had protection. Bloody difficult call to make. I agree. It’s a bigger gamble than others taking. May pay off. But there are loads of assumptions in there. The tight controls from outset may well ultimately not help but we’ve taken a risk. I hope it works out.

birch-chorley Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 This will make the 2008 crash look like a teddy bears pick nick Dofference is this isn’t structural like 2008, it’s a horrendous 12 months rather than 5 years+ Once we come out the other side next spring (with a vaccine) it will be boom time as a load of suppressed purchasing explodes Be a grim 2020 economically but then a huge 2021 (HY2) and beyond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not going to get tested unless your illness is serious enough to go to hospital. So you'll likely never know if you've had it or not.For several months, every time you (or anyone in your household in a few weeks) gets a cough and/or a temperature, you're all going to be expected to stay in for 7 days. You might catch it next week, get no symptoms, but you're still gonna have to stay in if you get a cold later on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Hanks for example. Was even said on BBC. Why not advise for those symptoms too? Or is that coming later? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
