Amazing really, one of the biggest threats to the world since the war and no thread

Can’t believe Cheltenham goes ahead

What are we, 10 days behind Italy?

Looks like only Japan are dealing with it

We read the facts as portrayed by our leaders here and abroad about the low mortality rates. That being the case why then are some countries basically shutting themselves down? I believe there is more to this virus that we are being told. I certainly do not believe about the number of deaths the Chinese are reporting. I think they are being vastly under reported

‘Cos there’s people commenting on it on every bleeding site, tv programme and paper - not sure there’s much need on a non-league football forum to add to it🤷🏽‍♂️

The world's population does need thinning out a bit but this seems an extreme way to do it.

It does seem strange that those who've spent so long insisting we control our borders are so slow to actually do it.

Or at the very least implement widespread screening.

Infact it's almost as if there just aren't the the thousands of personnel needed to do it.

Hmmm...

But anyway, Boris the Liar will go down in history as either the bloke who kept his head whilst others panicked or the part time PM who did far too little, far too late.

Or maybe he'll just bluff and bluster and rub his hair and quote half-assed latin whilst blaming a media endorsed scapegoat, of course...

Health Minister Nadine Dorries has got it, she’s been at Parliament all week

Exactly how - by echoing the inference of complacency in your original post?

What I am saying is given reports of folk returning from virus hit regions virtually unchallenged, the same zealots who've been talking of 'controlling our borders' like some deranged mantra seem remarkably reluctant to do so.

What I am saying is even by this government's own admission there simply isn't such infrastructure in place.

What I am saying is that an NHS which traditionally had a buffer to face seasonal crises has been so underfunded it's now a hundred thousand staff short.

And what I am saying is the same Tories who've so often trashed the advice of 'experts' are now quoting it as gospel.

No one could've predicted corona and even the most efficient public services would be found wanting. However unless 'honest' Johnson is proven uncharacteristically correct it's set to expose all the failings of his cronies' 'fewer rules, regulations and taxes' philosophy...

And those that have spent so long protesting we need no control over our borders are now blaming the government for not closing them?

Your politicising the Coronavirus, which is pretty low tbh

Not too often me and thee agree, but your not wrong.

Don't hide behind fake virtue signalling when I've simply extended your original point.

Or are you gonna condemn the Trump who's shamelessly politicised the crisis and the Tory press celebrating 'billions to fight corona' in today's budget, too.

Not to mention some pretty crass references of your own.

We've yet to discover if this government's cautious, some might say casual approach will prove inspited or not.

But either way we can guarantee sucess will be dowm to 'Boris' and failure the fault of 'advisors'...

Believe me - Japan isn’t dealing with it.

Did you see the hopeless way they “dealt” with the Diamond Princess cruise ship?

There’s way too many many piecemeal,uncoordinated measures and imo cases (if they’re honestly reported) will spike big time very soon...

The government here is shaイイing themselves that the Olympics might get cancelled...as that possibility becomes a probability, that should push them over the edge and they’ll enforce measures that make Wuhan and Italy seem like a Butlins holiday camp. Only too late.

I was just looking at the graph with the number of new cases

Japan seemed to be doing ok

Olympics and Euros are done for surely

Interesting times. Things seem very much BAU in the UK for now which I have a feeling may change in the coming weeks.

Sport will be one of the first things to go I feel, it won't just go behind closed doors either.

Scary times ahead maybe, if the estimates of the Germans saying 60-70% of them may get it are the same in the UK our lives are going to seriously be thrown up in the air in the coming months.

I don't see the need for panic buying but can probably see why people are doing it.

Why? It’s a respiratory infection not one that has anything to do with digestion. So clearing shelves of bog rolls? Idiots.



More people die of flu each year than are infected in Italy. So why this lock down?
