You have to wonder until which point it's okay for people to still have civil liberties. What if they reach 1k deaths each day? No government can let that happen. In China you either stayed at home or you did. No messing around. Edited March 21, 2020 by Machado Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I strongly disagree with the argument that "people should be allowed to have freedom all the time". 99% of the time it's a true statement, but when there is a crisis like a war or a pandemic, it has to be taken away for the safety of the country. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mpache Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Interesting regarding this whole conversation on people having liberties - Martin Vizcarra gave his opinion on the matter. "People think because of their economics, they have freedom to break the law". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted March 21, 2020 Administrator Share Posted March 21, 2020 Went to the supermarket today. Guy in front of me at the tills gets greeted by a friend. That friend, as he says hello also says 'won't shake your hand' as he greets him. Then the guy in front of me says 'nah not in to all that' then they both shake hands anyway How fucking stupid of guy 1 to be so ignorant and also the mate that came along and shook anyway?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carefreeluke Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Here in Spain, there were about 2-3 days of severe panic shopping but in general, it has died down a lot. Most of the supermarkets are now relatively well stocked up, obviously, there are still a few empty shelves here and there but it's a lot better. From what I hear in the UK, you're at the panic buying stage still but I imagine it will get better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 The first identified Coronavirus case in Italy was on the 26th of February. As I write this(21st of March), Italy has confirmed 4,825 official deaths as a result of Coronavirus. If this is not sobering, then I don't know what is.

Eco Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Wow. So Team USA is playing Team Iran in the World League on chess.com, and we have just been informed that the admin for Team Iran has died due to this virus. As odd as it may be, it's probably the closet I have to someone to me having lost their life to Covid-19. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The harsh reality is because our economy is so service dependent they will attempt to ride it with ventilators and excess staff to get us operational ASAP. Our shutdown coincides with Easter holiday and they’re trying to get ahead of it to get most of us infected cured then back out again on ventilators pitch’s go into NHS back end of next week, 70,000 to be built ASAP it is happening I’m just personally dubious we won’t be ready by the start of the peak which is estimated 2 weeks away. 10 hours ago, Harvsky said: Better thanks mate.

Was out for about 3 days but by day 4 I was back to feeling like normal. I did worry about it being coronavirus but stopped worrying once I felt better. Nobody else I know has had the same symptoms though. Hard to say really, with so much unknown about the virus. Since last Friday though I’ve been doing my best to just stay at home as much as I can though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted March 21, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted March 21, 2020 Our son has come home early from his taxi job and he said it's bloody dead around where he does his taxi bit with all the pubs & clubs closed, bought me in a few lagers and the wife a Mothers day cake and a bottle of wine and then went into his room because he did not want to be to close to us because he has been doing his taxi bit and might have picked something up, looks like we have a caring son.

Guest Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 This is terrible for people with OCD. Luckily I don't have a fear of germs so I can manage but for people who do it is so hard to know what is right and what is wrong at the moment.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted March 21, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted March 21, 2020 I've been on a strange journey with Lewis Hamilton. I supported him in 2008 when I first got into the sport as a British driver. Then Jenson Button came to prominence the following year and completely swayed me in his direction. The contrast in persona between a young Lewis Hamilton and a wiser Jenson Button was pretty stark back then so I was firmly Team JB when they teamed up at McLaren from 2011. It's taken me until the last 6-18 months to really actually be able to say I quite like Lewis Hamilton these days. He seems to have grown up. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadLinesman Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 In related (kind of news), we only get immediate family at my mums funeral. It will be in the church, blessing, straight out and burial. No frills. Absolutely gutted for her, but soon they’ll be people not even getting that, so you’ve got to take the positives. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've actually meant it honest. I'm glad he's alright, and he did the right thing by not taking a probably unnecessary test. I'm glad the Champ is healthy and happy, and probably around to annoy us with his talent for a few more years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
