You are a funny one. Distributing money to citizens and businesses is one of the primary functions of government.

How would you distribute money to people in practice and evaluate who needs what? How about self employed people - pay them what. You are saying we’d have the to actually make that work in two weeks

Italy haven’t done it and neither have France. People would have to use two weeks leave

It went in the oven so it wasn't cold either.

I was OK with the idea of you shagging a chicken but the thought of you eating it after has made repulsed me.

Not really. Italy has got itself in a major mess starting with the management of the first cases to the leaking of the plans to lock down Lombardy.

Sick boy - Ive heard Italys got a very good health care system but out of interest do they have the equivalent of NHS 111 ? Or would people be going into doctors surgeries ?
Click to expand...
Yes the health system here is excellent, I am not sure about the 111 service but I don't think they do. Unlike the UK you have to go and get a doctor's note for a single day off work, which is quite incredible, and maybe has contributed to the spread, I am not sure though. They are very worried about the strain on the healthcare system for those needing intensive care.

Alternative way of getting the giblets out.

In a dodgy whatsapp group, there has been footage of an old chinese man with a chicken.

60 people sent just home from the Apple HQ, someone tested positive. 6,000 people work in that building, if it spreads as easily as they say then you can see how an entire city could be in trouble pretty quickly- that place is the biggest employer in the region, people drive in from miles away each day.

The Irish PM (I cannot spell the official name) says he expects that up to half the country to become infected at some point (!!), and 80% will experience a mild illness, 14% will be severely affected, and 6% will be critical

One student on campus has been isolated after returning from Italy but not yet confirmed as being infected, but loads of departments seem to be making contingency plans to work from home, suspect I'll be doing the same before too long the way it's going.

Yup. My dad is 90. He has to go to clinics twice a week for his leg ulcer. He can't just stay indoors and out of the way.


On a personal level I am not that worried at all, but you have to think of other people, the old, the vulnerable, the sick.

They are people too.

He should have really but we don't have an NHS, we have different services in different areas just with that little blue badge. FWIW making an elderly person visit a hospital for a routine thing like that is completely counter to the direction of the NHS though.

What's going on in italy is a warning of what is to come here in 2-3 weeks and yet money is clearly more important at the moment that the health of all of us, particularly the elderly. Sports programmes still going ahead as usual. Still large gatherings etc. Life is pretty much as normal away from the rumble of panic at some supermarkets.
Why those running the country think this disease will act any differently here than in Italy is beyond me. To compound that, we have one of the most densely populated countries on the planet.

Nope. He has a leg ulcer and says they use quite a big machine on him.

My daughter has just told me that some people are selling 60ml bottles of anti-bacterial hand gel for £100 each.

Shocking.
