Problem is thanks to the terrible communication you’ve got two equally crap takes taking hold: a) the end is nigh. Buy all the toilet roll. Boris is a murderer b) I’m well ard and only pussies care about the virus. It’s just flu. No need to change anything. Our political discourse is fucked.

Jokes on them. I moved a day I had booked off in two weeks time forward. By then I expect us to be on full lockdown anyway :P

If you don’t count the last 32 games, Kastaneer.

Well I’ve just had to take a days leave to follow government medical advice and finish my self isolation. They wouldn’t let me work from home despite the fact we’ve had entire meetings about how well have to work from home when it hits. Clearly the message isn’t getting out that this is serious...

Mental. Meanwhile all the smaller shops are full to the brim of produce including toilet rolls. I bet the Chinese supermarkets are dead as well.

The ventilator thing is stupid. Could you imagine Churchill during the war asking nicely if anyone’s got any spitfires he can buy and if someone makes them he’ll buy them? Also we’ve known this was coming for months, why are we only now asking? Right or wrong strategy the execution has been an...

Edit realised you meant Ireland. No graphs. 2 deaths 129 cases so far.

There are lots of very well qualified people disagreeing with the strategy. I’m just saying that letter isn’t from them. FWIW I disagree with the strategy. I have a science degree and would’ve been counted had I signed that letter. My opinion isn’t worth any more than any other random when it...

This is really good: also adds in difference between extensive and smaller scale social distancing which is really what we are discussing in this country. We aren’t going free for all (as we’re self isolating and cancelling events) and we couldn’t go quarantine even if we wanted like the...

The “compensation package” would be job seekers allowance and easy access to finance for a new venture.

It kinda misses the point. No one is disagreeing you need to flatten the curve. The argument is whether we are acting quickly enough and with enough force to flatten it enough.

I think sadly with the pygmies currently in power in most places compared to 2008 you may well be right.

My gut says bring in emergency laws to see people not kicked out of homes/gas turned off/etc. Keep schools open but with a clear work from home and keep the kids with you if you can message. Extend opening hours, cancel Ofsteds, offer wraparound that reduces demand on grandparents. Send kids...

That’s politics in a nutshell. How much are people’s lives worth to the economy? We have a rough idea how long it’ll go on for because we can model the measures and we’ve seen other countries bending the curve with various strategies. We’ve also got a rough idea how long it’ll take to develop...
