Contagion 2020

[Jeff Resnick]

Press Conference on now.

Boris says bans on public events and sports under consideration and to 'remember to wash your hands'.

Chief Medical Officer says the UK is around 4 weeks behind where Italy are.

The peak is 10-14 weeks away    Fucking nippy this shite. I just want to live my comfortable life with no one bothering me.

That press conference was absolutely horrendous viewing, they haven't got a clue what they're doing - nor do they give a fuck about vulnerable members of the public.

[Jeff Resnick]

After watching that, I'm not sure they know what they're doing. Such a drastically different response to most other countries.

Beginning to think Boris' chat about 'let it go through the population' is an actual tactic.

Wiping out a few auld folk will reduce the pension burden as well I suppose.

The problem is folk like to be told what to do. The UK Gov message leaves to much room for individual decision-making.

I actually think their logic is correct about taking action at the right time to have maximum impact but not sure the general public can accept that when they are in panic mode right now.

[Zizou]

How can basically every other country be taking stronger measures than us? It makes no sense. Are they all wrong and Boris Johnson is right?

Is there anywhere else that has made the 4 weeks claim. Basically every bit of data I have seen has ya at between 9 and 14 days behind, now all of a sudden it's a month???

Something massively off about this response from the Govt.

UK appear to be using behavioural science to decide their approach:

Libertarian Paternalism is good for getting people to piss directly in to urinals, but I'm not sure I trust it to battle a global pandemic.

Sainsbury's

Was just in my one, round the corner. Very little fresh fruit/veg/bread. No toilet roll and a per person limit to cough medicine/sweets.
