Site Supporter Spider Posted March 15, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted March 15, 2020 Our fantastic English brothers in Benidorm are pissing off everyone from the police to the locals I see. Wandering around the streets like pink gorillas, acting proper hard and challenging the authorities claiming they can do what they want. They dress like cunts, act like cunts and talk like cunts and it’s no wonder the Spanish fucking hate us. This virus is too good for them.

I hope if this results in one extra unnecessary death that she swings for every incremental person that sadly has passed away. I’ve just come back from Fife, train pleasantly spacious. Some chat up there being sarcastically mischievous about her using this as a chance to put a border in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birch-chorley Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I’ve no issue with over 70’s ignoring the advice and staying out As long as when they get ill they don’t expect to be looked after by the NHS. Can’t see many choosing to die quietly at home mind. The same ones ignoring the advice will be the ones kicking off that the NHS don’t have enough ventilators The isolation advice is aimed to save the NHS at the end of the day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royal white Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 The Family I work for are considering going into lockdown till the end of April/mid May (why so long is anyone’s guess) and have asked would I be prepared to stay with them if they do.

And younger people may die unnecessarily. Everyone needs to do what they can here. It is shit. But there are worse things than staying in your home.

Members Rudy Posted March 15, 2020 Author Members Share Posted March 15, 2020 Isn’t the reason to self isolate over 70’s to take the strain off the NHS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breightmet Boy Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 The way I read all this is the NHS want people to get it at a steady rate so they can cope with the treatment, not a big percentage at the same time. So I've not been out on my week off, concluded that people will go to the pub with the symptoms as they'll all think they won't get it. I may be wrong and its best to get it earlier rather than later, but prevention is better than cure. Sounds shit to me and I'm the biggest puff in the world when poorly.

bwfcfan5 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 The only way to minimise deaths is to stop the most vulnerable getting it whilst others build immunity. In theory. It’s a risk. Might be all we’ve got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stories were that if too many needed hospital treatment they would stop treating over 65s. That’s the point we could get to. Scary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Age is the single biggest risk. They think it’s to do with changes in immune system pathways as people age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
