    I wash my hands frequently yes, but having a disabled wife in the extremely vulnerable bracket, I’m just taking every precaution I can from a personal point of view, I would carry a bottle of hand sanitizer if I could find one as well and yes I carry a box of them in my car and a bag to dispose of them as well, it’s just a personal choice to try to protect me and my wife from the assholes who don’t care or give a f*ck I suppose

    I was reading the following article yesterday and it could be the undoing of the efforts made by the rest of us ...

    I think this is what prompted my irrational 'Hoax Post' the other day on here. I have friends who are fretting after having to close their businesses, bars and restaurants, which were virtually empty and then you see pictures like this the next morning ... The Victoria line two days ago ..

    Things are changing hourly
    They will have to give the same to the self employed
    Isn't the 95 pounds for people that get sick and won't be working anyway
    Unless the country is closed down then there should be nothing stopping you or other people that can avoid close contact from working
    Things here seem to get more panic driven by the hour
    Mainly by the bloody media scare mongering

    Don’t give yourself a false sense of security. Wearing gloves means f*** all. It’s just another layer for the virus to settle on. Carry on with washing your hands more frequently and using sanitiser if you can’t.

    How about you get a ****ing grip

    Judgemental

    Maybe

    If there's a chance you can spread it
    Stay at home

    If you are 100% fit go to work

    The govt will look after the self employed
    Why wouldn't they
    They are looking after everybody else

    Taken your advice on board mate, not a false sense of security as such, gloves are only worn when out shopping handling trolley and pre handled items by other people not so concerned about spread of virus.i don’t wear them in the house lol I wash my hands regularly and unfortunately due to the me, me , me hoarders of society there is no sanitizer available otherwise I’d use it and bin the gloves.

    Very little from the country’s super rich right now. Branson keeping his head down on Necker, no doubt.

    Come on, you rich bastards, show the way.

    Yeah. I have a trained singing voice and the technique is similar.

    Shame your fingers do not have the same restraining techniques of your trained singing voice.

    Some horrific accounts by doctors of the type of death the virus brings. Slow strangulation over hours and days. If ever there's a case to make mortally ill patients unconscious with morphine it's now.

    Expert on conspiracy theories. What do you conclude from him not revealing his full name and where he works?

    He might have a contract which precludes him talking about his work in public (I have to confess I haven’t listened to what he has to say. I’m sure he is having a very bad time).

    He might equally want to protect his privacy. And who could blame him?

    Presumably you are similarly critical of the potentially lethal advice given by the government up until last Monday?

    To say you can't catch the virus on the underground when any idiot knows you can catch a virus spread by close contact anywhere that is a confined space is beyond stupid. The government have made errors of judgement based on their 'expert' advice as well, no one is coming out of this looking good. We should have been in lockdown at least a week ago, I'll be amazed and angry if we aren't within a day or two...

    I presume you're referring to my response to Kiwi?

    I found his comments very judgemental and insulting as he knows nothing about what other people have had to deal with and the effects from those problems on their finances.
    Especially Bob, who I know can speak for himself, but has had his share.

    Now, if I upset you and other delicate flowers with my responses to Kiwi then I apologise.

    I don't apologise for said responses.
