I see her Maj has spoken to the plebs with some encouraging words
"At times such as these, I am reminded that our nation's history has been forged by people and communities coming together to work as one, concentrating our combined efforts with a focus on the common goal.

"We are enormously thankful for the expertise and commitment of our scientists, medical practitioners and emergency and public services; but now more than any time in our recent past, we all have a vitally important part to play as individuals - today and in the coming days, weeks and months.
Then she and the Greek racist make a hasty retreat into isolation at the Sandringham bunker. No worries about ventilators and food supplies for her!
I'm not an apologist for Royalty, OLOF, but she's only doing what a lot of people are doing, finding somewhere away from the crowd and self isolating. Friends of ours in Brittany say that there are a lot of people coming into their village from Paris to, try, to get away from the virus. Common sense, really.

Lucky for her the auld ****, she's got some of the biggest council houses in the UK and plenty of plebs to run around for her ****'em
She should be putting some of the elderly homeless vulnerable up in the council house she's just ****ed off from seeing she's not ****ing using it

This has caused the spread in Spain, people leaving Madrid (not the only reason)
Cops now will not let people travel to second residencies.
It could cause havoc in small villages etc here with no major medical infrastructure.

Grockles travelling from the city to the country should be stopped in the suburbs and sent back to prevent the spread. It's not common sense mate it's stupidity. Stay at home.

Its not a ****ing race you know
The point is the Italians are getting over 400 a day dying. It does not feel like it’s so bad here but if you say we are 2 weeks behind and move the graph by two weeks our graph follows theirs closely. In fact this report says our numbers are rising quicker. So we better be happy with a lot of people dying or pray the government did not take action too slowly.

Got to say if she really cared she could give up some of her luxuries for a while and put some of her fortune into helping the needy

This sounds callous I know and if either were my family I’d feel different but the last two reported deaths in my Town.. One a 92 year old man. One a guy who had motor neurone disease, in 2018 he was given two years to live.

Each time I hear of a death I also hear people say how old were they and did they have anything wrong with them? The minute we all find out that they were old or did have an underlying condition for the majority it’s a shrug of the shoulders “oh well” attitude.

Speaking to my neighbour (from a distance)
She was telling me that her nephew had Coronavirus (lives in London) fortunately he is now pulling out of it
He is a very fit 29 year old and says he has never felt so ill in all his life
Just thought I would share that
Yeah. Not great in London. Worse thing is the tube. Luckily our company has everyone working from home as of this week and for the next few weeks. Can do it because it’s mainly office based unlike many other companies.

Coach loads of Londoners coming up to the Yorkshire Dales over the next few days. Only £10.

The report I saw from Italy said of their deaths nearly one third had basically nothing wrong with them.

Where did you read that, the Daily Mirror ;)

99% had other things wrong with them
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...-died-from-virus-had-other-illness-italy-says

The average age of those who’ve died from the virus in Italy is 79.5. As of March 17, 17 people under 50 had died from the disease. All of Italy’s victims under 40 have been males with serious existing medical conditions.

They’re also saying those infected in Italy are far higher than numbers suggest as only those showing symptoms are being tested.

Tube not allowed but over crowded supermarkets with grubby hands all over the trolly are fine. The average person is probably stopping at two supermarkets as they’re all out of stock, they’re stopping at every corner shop or small independent on the way and I assume they’re all receiving some change in the form of loose change and new plastic notes, are the PDQ machines keypads being sterilised after each use? No social gatherings but supermarkets are fine, it’s a joke
