The army being deployed doesn't automatically mean some sort of martial law as people seem to be expecting. They will just be acting as additional policing numbers in a different uniform, and will probably (if not already) be given some policing powers to issue fines and send people home etc.
No way, I do know Rob yeah. I was one of the TLs in Eastpoint in the eir building. We ended up moving to Telephone House and were only just made redundant last year.
Well I mean it is pretty essential to stave off the boredom and it's free to chat to your mates over it.
I was the Snr TL for the Nikon team, Rob worked over in our building for the Palm team before moving over to Eircom. Small world.
Finally got made redundant in December when Nikon moved
Some sick people in those top 5 countries
Wait, so is that a whole lot more people looking at porn or a whole lot of people looking at Covid related porn?

Just come back round the M25 and it's rammed as usual, all east London into Essex is same 'ol.
We've really done feck all over here
It is not listed by the UK as an at risk condition. 12 weeks self isolation does not include people with high blood pressure.
they should get a life.
Humans are the virus.
Covid19 is the cure.
Discuss.

Steady on Thanos.
hahahaha, I don’t necessarily agree with it. Just thought it was an interesting perspective.
Japan is down to 18th now. Still less than 1000 cases. They must be doing something right over here.

Bit the same approach as in Holland it seems. I live about 3 miles from the Dutch-Belgian border and police are actively stopping Dutch people who are crossing the border why they are entering Belgium. If they don't have a valid reason (work, partner who lives in Belgium...) have to turn back.

The people who will die of this are not those who are responsible for creating and overseeing the economic system which is ruining the planet, which is precisely why the response of the UK and US governments has been to prioritise saving that economic system over saving lives.
Keep telling yourself that. First it's an absolute myth that younger people dont die or get temporarily incapacitated from this. Second, how many of the politicians CEOs and investors are in the risk group ? I'd say a whole damn lot. Third , what do you think will.happen when there no doctors left to attend the 'normal' patients?
This is fascist nonsense.
What are the neasures that Japan has taken?
He didn’t say that. He said we’ll stand by businesses and ‘hopefully’ they will stand by their employees
So yesterday it was being sent packing in 12 weeks.
I was assured that wasn't jhonson doing johnson and making numbers up.
Today, government suggest social distancing measures could be in place for a year.

All school kids were told not to go to school. This was for two weeks but they are now off for two more weeks anyway. The trains have been less packed because of this.
Apart from that, nothing has really changed. Some flights were blocked from the most affected countries though.
No cases in my city so far. I think it helps being an island and having a Prime Minister that doesn't allow things like 3,000 people from Madrid to visit.
Less than a million people have died due to Covid19, it's barely dented the human population. What has change is people have stopped doing things, cities have shut down, air companies could be about to go bust, the economy seem to be about to tank badly etc etc. Basically.............capitalism has had it's wind knocked out of it's sales(pun intended) which has caused a bit of breathing space for fighting climate change.
The problem isn't people, it's capitalism - Some bearded 19th century bloke.
Such a view is Eco-fascism, and pretty much one step away from eugenics. feck that.
So last Wednesday my son was not feeling well and we thought he had some kind of stomach bug (came out both ends), which later just became a fever/cough. Then it his the missus with the same symptoms, just in the other order, cough/fever first, then stomach problems.
I on the other hand was fine, maybe some light headache and a bit low energy, but not too bad. Then yesterday it hit me full force and it feels like my lungs are on fire.
None of us has gotten the chance to get tested, but i am pretty sure we all have it now. Oh well. At least we wont have to worry about getting it later then

Do government seriously think people are going to live like this for 12 months? They’re having a laugh if they think billions of people will accept it. I expect things to get ugly in about 6-10 weeks times. Riots, shopping lifting. We will become a nanny state over a virus which is killing the elderly and people with prior illnesses. Some people will think I’m being harsh but so far 10k people have died on a planet with nearly 8 billion people. Even if we got to a million people the numbers are relatively small given how dangerous this virus is being implied to be.
Yes, but id well imagine if a business has already took matters into their own hands there wont be any help for those businesses. Guess a hunch on my part. Its why im surprised the business in question didnt or couldnt find a way to hold fire until close of business today
Link?
What if we get to 100 million?

Does it feel like normal flu? Curious to find out how it actually feels, is it worse than any other illness you have had before?
It's not a long term solution, but it should reduce the spread and once the spread stops it can be contained and hopefully disappears. It should also allows to contain future spreads better as the knowledge will be there.
We may see people returning to work and school but wearing facemask, gloves and hygiene rituals being mandatory. Huge fines for people who don't follow these rules.
Obviously it would be horrible to know that many people have died but in percentage terms that 1.25% of the world population.
Just in case there is anybody left who thinks this is still 'just a flu'. This hospital is just a few miles from me:
You’re conflating two different things. He actually said we could “Turn the tide” within 12 weeks, and that it was possible to send it packing. Not that we would send it packing within 12 weeks. Social distancing wont stop entirely until a vaccine is created.
Look people, we have a rebel here.
