Renton 20177 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 It kind of makes you think if things will ever get better like the good old days? It's been unmitigated shit for the last 4 years in this country, we stumble from one disaster to an even worse one, with the poorest calibre leaders in history in charge of the country, and many other countries.

Dr Gloom 21191 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 we will be in the thousands of cases by the end of the weekend. it's about to go BOOM while our politicians sit with their thumbs up their arses. i just dragged my kids out of school, not because i'm overly concerned about our health, despite my boy having asthma, but because it's the responsible thing to do. my mother in law, who helps with childcare, is massively at risk due to a lowered immune system and we have instructed her to self isolate for at least a month. i'm fortunate enough to be able to work from home. my mate, a VFX compositor, works in a new industry that isn't unionised and they are being offered zero flexibility. he was just saying his bus to work was just as crammed as it always is. i've got mates down here who reckon i'm panicking, and i might be - a result of spending all day plugged into twitter, but the lack of action here is staggering. we need to wake up - italy is on its knees. that's us in just over a week unless we start social distancing now.

Well no, I meant the Blair days silly. I think a lot of the problem is we have become complacent about infectious diseases because science has been so successful at eradicating them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
