More of the same.

Since it is a phobia (an irrational fear) they can't really help it.

It's not fear. It's just hate. Period.

Like Morgan Freeman once said, if you want to get rid of racism, just stop talking about it all the time. The world has become obsessed with it, and people are now finding racism where it doesn't even exist. It's the ultimate conversation killer, along with "bigot", and anything ending in "phobe".

Now, as already requested in the other thread that was locked down, if everyone could stop the bun fight and keep on topic, that would be great.

If you are anything but actively anti-racist, you are racist, or are enabling racism.

bs

Yes I agree. Calling it a phobia is BS.

Uk to close schools from Friday.

 

[braailekker11]

Ridiculous.

Really sad reflection of society.

Yeah, calling the virus TheChineseVirus just makes things worse for chinese people residing in a foreign country. Especially US of ****ing America and South ****ing Africa.

The issue though, is unlike you, I am not a selfish pr!ck.

Wait where are you getting this from?

I'm a selfish prick because I don't think I'll get sick to a degree I'll need hospitalisation? Never at any point did I say I will spread it like a good STD... If I think I have it I'll stay home and withhold myself from my family. Purely because I don't want it to spread from myself to people who are high risk and vulnerable. I have no issue with people not wanting to spread it. I have an issue with people thinking: "OMG WE'RE GOING TO DIE!!!"

How does that make me a selfish prick?

Here's some much needed good news:


A small town in northern Italy has reportedly stopped all new coronavirus infections as part of a successful experiment.

Selfish in the fact if you are sick you could pass it on to someone else and they may die, because you believe any measures to contain this is hysterical.

Methinks you should extend the same courtesy you want to others.

They continue to get pummeled though...

The problem for most fit, young, healthy people is that they don't know they have it, like you already said. But they've probably infected loads of people who might not be as fortunate. The "flu bros" are going to be the ones who end up killing everyone else.

Exactly.

That is what Pitbull doesn't get.

He could get sick and only realise it on day 4.

In those 4 days, because he doesn't care and believe in the "hysterical" measures, he goes about his daily routine and infects several people. Some of them could be the high risk ones and they could die.

He will recover and come back here and laugh about it. Not knowing what actually happened.

That is why his attitude is selfish.

Yeah, many places like Bergamo didn't put social distancing in place early enough.

Bergamo is getting smashed. No more beds. They are triaging.

 

[Hamster]

I don't know why people get so upset about the "Kung Flu".

They call (or are about to) the Crusades "White Smite" and I'm not upset.

 

[gottagoon]

CoronaVirus is gonna do it's thing here. Nothing more I can do. I wash my hands like 10 times a day. Try to educate people about cleanliness and sneezing etc. Tell workers if they feel sick..stay at home.

Cleaning lady today once again used a mop to clean things....this time still a filthy mop. But with newly bought dissinfectant. Wrings the mop and puts it back into the filthy bucket with the new cleaning rags bought Monday.

There is no way one can explain this to someone who doesn't understand how hygene works. Just don't get it.

I am gonna get Corona. Nothing I can do about it.

I don think it's retarded. There is NO WAY they will be able to contain it. But that's a separate issue all together. Only thing I have been extremely vocal about is the hysteria even on here. You will not die! Fark I doubt anyone on here will die of Corona. Throwing around all these overly hyped stats from when only 40k cases was positive vs the reduced rates at 200k should be criminal. It's sending the wrong idea to the public. And the reason they buy truck loads of toilet paper .

If you get sick, flu or Corona (as you won't be able to tell the difference) self isolate. If it reaches a point where you need medical intervention, call the NCID and take it from there. It's not how you guys are portraying it. That is what I have an issue with.

Currently every Tom, Dick and Harry is lining up thinking they have Corona. They are flooding the system with tests and shyte which is taking focus away from those who need it. The elderly and the ones of higher risk groups.

It's simple really, stop causing hysteria. If you are sick, isolate. If you are getting worse, get medical treatment. There is ZERO percent chance that this virus will be contained. It's not going to happen today, tomorrow, next week or even next year. It's out in the public and you have Asymptomatic carriers. It's really just a matter of time before we all get it, unless people take ownership of their own illness.

Complete ban on evictions and additional protection for renters

Government announces radical package of measures to protect renters and landlords affected by coronavirus.

www.gov.uk

More great policies from the UK govt.!

 

[Pitbull]

Exactly.

That is what Pitbull doesn't get.

You are completely wrong here... You know that.

Except....

This virus can be transmitted when there are ZERO symptoms.
