    Agree with what you are saying, maybe just maybe lessons will be learnt over funding for the NHS when all this is over. I personally blame Cameron and Osborne for a lot of this underfunding. They were and are alright jack with their millions.

    Most of the people, probably remoaners, will just have a ****ing sniffle, the media hysteria combined with todays snowflakes has caused all this panic, calm the **** down and get pissed. Its St Pats day

    My mate who lives in Icmeler, Turkey, (yeah, i know) has just phoned me and said all the bars are shutting and theyre going into lockdown, as far as im aware it hasnt even ****in reached them yet;)

    Jeremy Vine radio 2 had some 90 year old ex doctor article, he said if this had happened when he’d been in practice nobody would have known the wiser.

    It would have ripped through 80% of the population killing 500,000 vulnerable and elderly a large portion of which would have died within the year anyway.

    At the end of it we’d have just said that was a bad year for flu and a few years on wed have discovered it was a different strain. They are touching on the subject would it be morally wrong to let this run it’s course.

    Now as businesses go under, as people lose there pay and the stress builds, how many are going to think bollocks, self first my security and a roof over my head is important.

    As the effects start to really strike home you know it’s going to happen.

    Bloke on the radio also said if China are being truthful on their figures, once they return back to normal this virus is going to rip through them just as bad and fast. They have had nowhere near enough cases to create a herd immunity

    1. Some peolpe realy do talk a lot of BS, it want even get to 1,0% and it is now 0.0025% (188,297) and it is 0.0001% (7.499) that has died. The black deat was a real crises and it killed somewhere between 30% to 60% of the population Europe.

    Here is a link to 10 of the worst pandemics in history: https://www.mphonline.org/worst-pandemics-in-history/

    2. And who is at fault for that? Well it is the coverment around the world that ia in full panic mode.

    In people where there has been a finish result, ie got better or died it's 8% most cases are on going, flu is 0.1%.
    And I take it you failed maths, work out 7.499 as a % of 188,000 again.Around 4%.

    Interesting, thanks for sharing that link.

    Big difference is the globalization of the world today and thus a greater ease of spreading the illness over a greater area much faster than ever before.

    And if it had happened in prehistoric times we would be saying more people get eaten by Dinosaurs, but it's here now, so we live in the present.

    That was the doctor on the shows argument, I’m not taking sides on it mate, I’m just pointing out if that’s the kind of debate taking place already and if the Government don’t come out with a huge package to help small business and the self employed you can see what way this is going to go
