You can still make money though mate. You aren't having to wait in a queue of 500,000 people simply to claim 74 quid a week as if you were a smack addict. Nobody wants to spend their savings taking them back years when others doing the same job receive 80% simply because they are paid differently. You just brought up another point there though to add to the flame:- no sport. There will also be no traveling for a while, pretty much nothing at all. We are in the same boat. However making money is a big deal mate and it's easy to be calm if you're still earning. I would personally say I was in-between an introvert and extrovert these days. In the past it would have been the latter category I'd have fallen into, although it's more in-between nowadays. In terms of working life though, it's the latter. So it's not all money but having that routine to stop you from losing the plot. As for being quarantine shamed, fuck those people mate. I've cut a small hole in mine so I can smoke while wearing it

Good point, where is he? And @JOSHBRFC for that matter.

There's no better time to blame them. People around the world are dying, people's mental health is deteriorating, there is a heavy strain on the world's health care systems, everybody is falling out, arguing and fighting, there is already a shortage of things, it's such an awfully embarassing experience to go shopping that you end up not bothering and by the end of this there will be people who are financially fucked after spending money they work hard as fuck to save up for. It's going to take people back years and years. It's alright for introverts who can work from home, this may be a dream for them but not everyone is in the same boat and this is going to seriously impact some people's lives. No better time to blame them, they've single handedly destroyed people's livelihoods and It's all their fault. It's easy to blame X and Y country for not acting sooner, although it should have never come to this in the beginning. To make it worse, they've gone from blaming the US navy, to Italians, to referring to Europeans as "foreign garbage" in their media, enticing hate. If China aren't by far and wide the most hated country in the world, then they should be. Biggest threat to the world since Nazi Germany. Just wait til this really takes off in Africa and it starts ripping through the continent killing sick children. Communist scum. Everyone should close their boarders to them forever. But I'm not saying anything else as it only winds me up and makes me more agitated and angry than I am.

It's not easy for people to simply stop living their lives though and with it being a unique experience for many, especially in Europe, people don't realise the severity of it until it actually becomes a problem. It also happened so quickly and was impossible to stop. Other countries acted quicker once the virus arrived there but they were also able to learn from other country's mistakes. This is spot on to be honest.
-
Now China are reporting this as a "foreign virus" in their media, writing headlines such as "Beware of a second outbreak started by foreign garbage.” while you have people there being racially abused for having blue eyes. We all know how racist the Chinese are when in their own backyard, just ask any black person who visits their country(if you walked through the streets with a black kid, they'd all take pictures of them!!!!), but this just takes the piss. They just can't take responsibility for their own fuck up can they? This whole situation is entirely and 100% their fault and nobody should forget it. Whether their new wave of cases are imported or not, it's all their fault.
-
The death rate also looks worse than it is(not like 1,000s dying isn't a catastrophe of course), I was watching the Spanish news last night and they said that there is no viable data to determine how many cases there actually is. They have reported probably around 70,000 now, but I'd be very surprised if another 20,000 didn't have it unknowingly. Many people don't even know they have it. Idris Elba was on TV the other week saying how he had tested positive for it, but how he didn't even really have any symptoms, then you had another bloke on tele claiming how he had tested positive for it, but how he'd had worse colds. This is one of the reasons why it's so deadly however, as I could catch it tomorrow, not know I have it and then before you know it, I've passed it to a care worker I've been talking to in ASDA and then she takes it to a care home with her.
-
Why does that mousey haired little toff gimp go on television stating that people can claim this or claim that, when it's impossible to claim anything as you are in queues of 200,000 people? I could understand but all you can claim is about 74 quid. That's enough to make a man go out looting, what a joke. How are you supposed to get by? Steal and loot? This is what this country thinks of people like myself. When I spoke of volunteering up there, well I don't know what I'd been smoking at the time, as I'd never volunteer for anything in this country. If Italy or Spain need me though, then I'm there.

First team: Subs: Near the end of 4th season, currently top of league on goal difference, won Copa del Rey and in semis of champs league Vs Inter(1st leg was 2-2), it's been a tough battle for the league title with Atlético in all 4 seasons, with them even winning 2 of the leagues. Messi retiring at the end of the season. Riqui Puig to be brought back off his loan to take his spot in the squad. @Cicero Mbappe 99!!

One positive of sitting in is getting to see alot of Ranvir Singh in the morning @Stan

What is it you do again mate? I'd gladly do some voluntary work part time(in hope you still get paid though of course, as cuntish as that sounds ) in times like this if it was an essential job. It keeps you busy.
-
I've decided I'm done with work, I didn't want to be there at all, so I fucked off. It will shut by the end of the week anyway(or perhaps the week after) as they will run out of materials and can't order any more due to all their suppliers being ordered to shut. They should however already be shut, especially when you look at how horrible the facilities are. They are cleaned once per week at the most. Dirty place. Nevermind Corona, you'll probably catch AIDS on that site even at the best of times. I just spoke to my accountant on the way home and went through everything from this (tax) year and he told me how much the least was that I'd be looking at receiving and it worked out lovely. I will be fine financially due to that as they are going to speed it up for me so that I receive it by May. Not to mention, I have enough in my savings to cover it on its own. I'll sit on my arse all day smoking weed, eating and earning 90 quid for a bit. It's a massive shame not to be able to return to Barcelona around the time the derby was scheduled to take place(or perhaps the Atletico game, I was deciding between both) and see a bird I met there, take a trip to San Sebastian a month or 2 after that and then head to Portugal before the end of the summer(along with some fishing whenever I could), but what can you do? It's about saving lives now(all over the world) and respecting probably the greatest thing this country has:- the NHS, in fact, respecting all the health care systems around the world because they are the ones really on the front-line right now. It's for the best. I also don't think we give enough credit to people who work in shops or supermarkets, as they still have to go about their working business, which puts them at risk of contracting the virus. They are given absolutely nowhere near the credit they deserve in society, same for the delivery driver who brought me food last night.
-
Let's also note that there are people down here from Hull and Scarborough, they are staying in hotels mon-fri then going home to Yorkshire on Fri-Sun. So surely that is putting them and their family's health at risk, and for nothing? Shopkeepers, doctors, nurses, the police, the army...these needs to keep going, building anything other than a hospital, at a time like this really isn't necessary. You're also very prone to contracting colds, flu and other bugs on building sites, which leads me to believe that it would make a perfect "habitat"(if that is the word) for such a virus to thrive and if one person gets it, the site gets it, then all their family get it. It's simple. I'd love to keep working in order to make money as I could save more than ever right now with doing so, but this isn't about money now, it's about protecting lives and even protecting the future in how we all live our lives. The longer it takes to truly act, the far worse the problem becomes.

Borris is a fucking cretin really isn't he. How in the fucking world can you keep social distancing on a building site? Yesterday, all the sparkies were sat outside the brew cabin, pretty much hugging, everyone who works are in 2s or 3s and you cannot avoid people, you're constantly walking past people(and can't walk 2 meters away as there isn't a 2 meter gap, or anything close to it. It's impossible.) It also leaves us inclined to piling into a supermarket at brew time for food and the only other people you see in there are over 70s in general. I'm gona take some pictures today and show just what social distancing is on a site(obviously without any faces being seen). I also saw my mates yesterday from another site when I was on my dinner and 5 of them jumped out of a van. They might as well have been hugging and kissing. The last site I worked on is even worse, they made you wear gloves at all times(even when you were walking across the site and not touching anything) in order to prevent catching Weil's disease(who the fuck catches that anyway?) yet they are still open during such an outbreak and there are people from literally all over the country on there. You need to sign in using your finger print and can only smoke in one section, which is a tiny little cramped area at that. How do people eat in a brew room as well? When 100+ people work on a site, you can't all go in 3 at once and have your half an hour. The new(well I've been there 2 months) site I'm on barely has facilities either as it's like a building site from the 1960s. I'd shut that down even at the best of times...
-
The only people I've seen out today, yesterday and last friday in general are over 70s. They seem to be everywhere. Stop being so fucking stubborn
-
All construction work still going on. It's ridiculous really. I doubt we will last the week, but we should have been sent home today. Only a few companies have shut theirs down.
-
I just went to the shop then for a few bits(it's the first time I've been out, other than for work today, since Friday afternoon, after I finished work), the takeaways are shut, pub and bookies are shut(of course), I only saw 5 people on the streets and 3 were wearing masks, I went into the spar, all the staff wore masks and gloves and there were only 2 other customers(not usual for this time of the night). It then had a sign up saying that they are shut from 9 pm tonight until further notice. Probably the most eerie experience of all this yet. It's now REAL.
-
Honestly, we need to be careful here though as once this virus is over, we may see a war and the last thing we want is for a war to break out between countries such as the USA and China. I've always thought that there was something very eerie about the number "2020".
-
There's been cases in Lancaster now as well. Small city(which would be regarded as a big town if it didn't have a Cathedral) and one of those where you know everyone(apart from students as they come and go of course), so one person getting it could mean half of a city getting it very easily.
-
But China were trying to hide it from the world at first mate and they did the same with SARS, until cases appeared in Hong Kong. It's a serious matter and the world needs to know immediately, especially when you consider the time of year it was aswell. I'm not blaming the whole population of China for the record. But their government and the way their country operates is dangerous. We are all fucked now either way. Spain are probably going to be hit even worse than Italy by the end of it and if people don't start taking it seriously over here then we will end up in the same boat, as being English doesn't make us any more invincible than the next man. Honestly I don't even want to work now but have no choice until the site actually closes. On the site I'm on, there are people from Lancaster, Morecambe, Preston, Wigan, Blackburn, Liverpool, Hull, Scarborough and Stoke. That's how shit spreads. Stopping movement between towns at this point is as important as stopping it between countries.
-
This is the problem here to be honest. People being scared of being labelled racist(well and losing money...). This is why the whole world won't shut their boarders to China forever. We simply cannot trust that country and there is nothing racist about that. If they are lying and trying to hide outbreaks until they reach other countries (just like they also did with SARS) then that makes them a huge threat to us all. They can't be trusted. What if the next virus that appears there turns out being as deadly as black death and they try and hide it until it's too late? We can't take risks. There's no proof, but It probably started in China.
-
North Korea have actually done the best job if you want to look at it that way.
-
They have surpassed China's death toll and with half as many cases. Scary shit, even if Italy is one the countries with the most elderly in the world. Spain ain't looking too good now either with over 17,000 cases and over 800 deaths. I notice a pattern though, the number of cases are growing like fuck in the north and central part of the country but the south, while it has cases, doesn't seem to be having anywhere near the amount of cases rising everyday. Maybe once the heatwave hits the whole of Spain in the next month or so, it may help contain this virus. One thing I find interesting(if that's the word to use here) is how much the cases have risen there, as they were behind France and Germany, but have now eclipsed their number of cases. Still though, France and Germany have been hit hard enough themselves and the UK now has 2,600+ cases, which will be 4,000 by tomorrow, we are just behind them. Speaking of heatwaves, it's fucking freezing here in England so if this virus does thrive in the cold, then we are fucked. As it stands, we aren't on shutdown like other countries and I don't have a sense of it being "Erie", but rather tense and heated. I've nearly had two full on fist fights at work this week, this is all because of the virus. Everyone's head is up their arse as they know subconsciously that something serious is occurring, something none of us have experienced. I also believe there will be shitloads of looting in England before long. If I end up out of work then I'm going to either start up a little thing where I do all the elderly and vulnerable shopping in the area, or go out on the streets helping the army and police spray fuck out of everything, or whatever else they have to do. I feel as though it's my duty to do something. Besides, being sat at home all day watching the tele speaking about the thing which is preventing us from going out will likely create mental health issues I believe. It could be the end of my sanity, this is my biggest fear as I'm not exactly the most mentally stable of people anyway. What's Amsterdam looking like at the moment? @Panna King, @Panflute

Vile country, this is all their doing and every country around the world should shut their boarders to them forever.
