Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,664 Posted March 11, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted March 11, 2020 It seems pretty reckless to me given that Madrid is a massive problem area in Spain. Other countries would be quarantining a family of four landing off a flight from Madrid and we've got 3000 of them presumably unchecked into an enclosed area near thousands of English people? Hopefully they know better than we do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many people is this going to affect in the UK now? You'll have loads travelling back to different parts of the UK tonight Ah right, wasn't aware Madrid was on part-lockdown! I knew there were a lot of cases in Spain but didn't know they'd taken those measures. I reckon if it was Italian opposition it'd definitely be played behind closed doors.

I think that's taking my comment a bit too far. It's 'only' 6 people in the UK (that's not meant to be crass or cold, it's 6 too many at the end of the day), but Italy were late to react and they have had hundreds and hundreds of deaths. The situation in Italy now to the one in the UK are not comparable just yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's what Italy have done and a mistake the rest of Europe should learn from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone noted that Raab was coughing a lot at PMQs today but theres no benefit in speculating. Apparently the UK will enter the Delay phase tomorrow. Cobra meeting around lunchtime.

Yeah, I get it mate, I'm just sick of this complacency that it's not as bad here as it is in Italy. As far as I can tell, it's pure chance that they got hit by it first and we're on exactly the same path they are. I'm not attacking you, that seems to be the prevailing attitude. I think we're in a really bad position as a country when Piers Morgan is one of the ones talking the most sense the loudest. 3 minutes ago, Tommy said: Ya, hosting a football match tonight with 50k+ visitors wasn't very helpful. Honestly I'm fucking livid about it. And of all of the coverage I've seen just treated it as if it was any other big game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mpache 672 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 USA really needs to follow in Canada's footsteps. Obviously there is less people up north, but apparently Canada followed medical advice and not political. Canada has been ahead of the USA in decision making for far too long now.

Mpache 672 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Peru has 13 cases so far and we've just banned large gatherings and closed schools (well a few). Incredible how a third world country is taking action faster than the likes of the UK, USA and Australia. I guess we saw what's happened to Italy and we were also badly hit by the Swine Flu, so that's in fresh memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
