    Genuine question here mate; where and when are these these youngsters who are taking up hospital beds suffering from Corona?

    I haven't heard anything along these lines. At all.

    It flies in the face of everything being reported to be honest, and of how this virus affects age groups.

    They matter and we should all give a bit towards them. Now more than ever.

    Once this is over I'd scrap universal credit and replace it with UBI.

    I've just happened upon some in Tesco in Newport, not too far a drive that is it?

    I only went in for a bottle of Malbec but bought a pack of toilet roll for good measure.

    I also bought the solitary pack of dried penne that happened to be there.

    Felt insane doing it.

    The Chief Medical Officer was making clear his concerns today, about the young thinking they are safe, on the whole they will be, but there will be some who are still at risk, and as we don't know who those people may be, everyone should be following the instructions/guidance given. It was also stressed if they are only ill, but taking up a hospital bed, that's one less bed for someone else. Basically he said it's putting unneeded pressure on the NHS.

    ps. I forgot to add, he said also people are spreading it, by not heeding the guidance, and the youngsters will be the carriers or something like that.

    I shared this earlier.
    Younger people do not die, but a significant number do end up in hospital.

    What a strange concept, requesting and expecting the British public to apply common sense and do the right thing.

    He should instead be telling us all to run away and hide.

    I'm sure it can effect them but it hasn't been widely reported thus. If at all.

    The high risk is still clearly older, unhealthy (underlying issue etc.) folk and youngsters should be at home sleeping it off. (jokes facetiously)

    My ex works at a nursery, spoke to her on the phone today. She said people were so livid at the fact they could only accept certain children, that in the end they had to let the kids in because the parents were not relenting. So, while the nursery attempted to do what they were told, the parents simply did not give a flying **** and demanded the kids be placed there.

    So, the British public in large do not give a ****.

    No longer a rumour then?

    The Queen looked quite cheery earlier.

    He's the type of person that would die who hasn't died before

    According to Trump ...

    It’d be quite ironic if he carked it from this tbh. As iirc he made an extremely crass remark beards ago, about how the world needs a good old fashioned viral pandemic to control population.

    Phil looks like a skeleton that they've hastily thrown goat skin over to pose as a living human. He genuinely scares me.

    One of the sciencey people flanking Johnson at the press conference today made it one of his key points ie young folk shouldn't think that this can't make them ill enough to use up a hospital bed. It can and it is which is putting unnecessary extra pressure on the NHS. I haven't been into London for months but I'm told the pubs and restaurants are still quite busy.

    I saw a pic of him the other day, he looked like he had just rose from his grave. The sort of thing that would give kids nightmares.

    Well yeah, that's pretty obvious to be fair.

    Which to me is why they were probably better off being corralled at school if possible, rather than being let loose.

    Oh well.

    Fair point. Attention seems to have turned away from China as everyone is dealing with their own ****. Easier for them to play it down now.
