ErnestTurnip Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Been trying to work out how many of my 9 lives I will have left if I die from Covid. So far I've died from salmonella, AIDS, BSE, SARS, ebola, H1N1 and I will have missed some which means there's not much wriggle room left.

Have you considered the possibility that these type of events don't have such serious consequences BECAUSE we take the necessary precautions? It's like the Millenium Bug. Lots of people dismiss it as a massive media hype-job because not much happened, but ignore the fact that billions were spent, and hundreds of thousands of people worked to avoid the potential consequences.

ErnestTurnip Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Did you consider I haven't actually ever died before and so was taking the piss? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Casino Posted March 11, 2020 Moderators Share Posted March 11, 2020 I've had Ebola, sars and very bad aids and still not had a day offwork If it stopped this wall to wall coverage I'd have it tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that was the point you were making. That all those things were supposed to kill you, but they didn't, so this must be another over-reaction. I was obviously mistaken. Apologies.

Especially China FFS, they put the Economy first always and they shut the country down because of this Do you think China overacted, what do you think would have happened had they not took the extreme measures that they did do?

Site Supporter Spider Posted March 11, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted March 11, 2020 I bet Iran is worse than China was, but they’ll never admit it. As bad as it will be with self-isolators having a few days off, as soon as the schools shut we are properly fucked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The numbers off work will still mean schools shut and all that comes with it. You’d just have the added benefit of folk dying in hospital car parks as they can’t get anywhere near a bed Youd certainly be looking at many more deaths than seasonal Flu. We’ve ve got to slow it down as best we can Just take your laptop home and stop pretending you can’t work from home like the rest of us, no big deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many people infected and too little hospital beds. They are having to pick who dies and who gets treatment because their mismanagement means they are 'getting it over with'.
