There is lots of middle ground between 'It's a load of made up shite no worse than the cold', and 'full panic mode we're all going to die', if you just use a little nuance. This is unprecedented, Governments the world over are taking this very seriously and implementing stuff that will have an impact on most, indeed many already on this forum, from business owners to tourists. Economies are crashing, businesses are going bust. They're not taking this action for nothing ffs. If nothing else it's very interesting how this will all play out. It's unprecedented. This post should be reported for insufficient angst! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, in 12 months time with the benefit of hindsight we may all be saying what a load of alarmist bollocks that was. The only think that personally worries me is the effect such alarmist statements has on my pension fund. I have a very cynical view about "experts". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thai Spice Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Take the "zen" approach... A person suddenly collapses in the street. A good samaritan approaches and tries to bring him back to life, asking asking around "is there a doctor here ?" A man raises his hand "Me, I am a doctor..., doctor in psychology" The good samaritan cries "but this man is dying.." The "doctor" : "we'll all die someday" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know why. Of course I can " dlink" Sangsom and Coke and no "ploblem" LOL! Today they announced in San Jose, Calif here, no more gatherings of 1,000 or more people....no more Hockey games at SAP Center at least through the month of March, April TBD. A lot of events now cancelled at SAP center, our local arena. Second person died here yesterday, 61 year old woman. I am waiting on the info on the Soccer Game I bought tickets for Apr 11th outdoors at Vayama Stadium. Surprise for wifey as she likes Soccer and we have a pro team here. Damn.....this is just really a shame, but I still stand by my feelings....you know, just try our best to to do all of the necessary things we need per the CDC. I do not live my life in fear, never have really, we are not the "sit around the house type" and be on laptops and cell phones all day. Can you score me "Genesis" tickets in Manchester for December? "Turn it on again" LOL! Afraid my concert going days have tailed off, so wouldn't know where to start with Genesis tickets. Shame if your footy game is off, I can understand why restrictions are put in place but like you would rather the choice was with me. Went to the horse racing at cheltenham in the UK yesterday. Was around 60,000 people there, the crowd had dropped by 7,000 people from last year. Guess some made the decision not to go- fair enough down to them. Didn't hear any coughing or sneezing. Was enough Guinness & Jamesons whiskey being put away to kill any bug stone dead😀 Slainte 🍻 Edited March 11, 2020 by Lemondropkid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rate cut is to help the businesses through this, as they expect UK cases to start rising quite a bit now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
