White Boy - one off doc on Netflix is worth a watch. About 17 drug dealer/informer being banged up for 30 years sure it’s been mentioned before but White Gold on neflix (second season just released, very good although not quite as good as first) ps don’t panic on my behalf I’m not watching...

haha, I know and my delicate hands have been ruined by the regular washing and hand sanitising !!! ps there are some real selfish fuckers out there. Plenty of elderly trying to get their bits before self isolation and no bogroll on shelves !

Who sneered sick boy ?!

I presume itll be impacting their health/social care services as well. We all know it’s happening here Otis, just when (I presume end of this week), like we know the more draconian measures like Macron announced last night will he implemented here in coming days.

Not just this either, it’s how many parents work in NHS and social care sectors (where people are desperately needed). It’s then weighing up the risk of those parents catching it (from their kids if they remain at school) V immediate benefits to the industries if they remain at work. All of this...

Good to hear and good luck to her and her team mate.

see attached - NHS in talks with private sector for coronavirus help (Date of article - 10 March - before labour/unions started mentioning it, by then it was pretty much agreed as shown below) The government will rent 8000 private beds - 8,000 private hospital beds to be rented to NHS for...

Me too Otis. I’d also heard a number being supportive. I’ve said from day one that if the government are making their decisions based on medical/scientific advice (which is adequately challenged) I would be supportive. If not, then they would lose my support/faith. ps definitely going now !

Good shout Pete If people are struggling I can cover some Birmingham post codes (even Villa fans)

Look, this is a global pandemic. Apart from full lock downs it appears that no country can properly deal with this. The government, rightly or wrongly, has followed scientific/medical advice (backed up by modelling) and were hoping to implement a strategy that minimised/shortened the impact on...

I don’t think they did think it would be different. More the timing of it. I can only guess from what I’ve heard

Can’t disagree with a majority of that mate. This could get a lot worse though and it’s a fine balance between telling people everything and managing the general population. I think it’s happened a week quicker than anticipated from what one of the science guys was saying at the press conference

Not sure it’s a U turn Sick Boy. We knew these types of measures were going to come in, it was just when and to what extent. Every country is updating and ramping up their responses (pretty much on a daily basis) dependent on their own data, requirements etc What I was shocked at is the...

Just a theory Wingy, might not be correct at all (interesting that a number of western countries are almost doing it in this way though - appreciate Italy probably didn’t have the opportunity). China/eastern countries can be stricter and the people probably a little more obedient !

Ooooo, trumps just popped up on sky news ! could be errr interesting

So people buy into the requests for longer I guess, which helps soften the peak for longer, buys more time for NHS etc etc

No way, seriously ?! Sorry to hear that NW Ps did you manage to at least have your stag do ???

I know I’m replying to my own post ! Just been speaking to someone far more intelligent than me (and defo not a Johnson fan) who said actually the psychology around this is quite interesting. By not formally banning certain behaviours you almost hope to get the individual make the decision (and...

Agree with this PVA. Not sure why they don’t just say that all bars, restaurants and clubs will need to close from immediately/X date ps the 7 day and 14 day isolation was explained clearly though
