Sheff Utd behind closed doors?

Ssshhh! The daily mail readers will be in riots if they knew we left school before dark!

 

If you were Irish you'd be happy.

Stop teasing me bitch

 

if the government don't do something then people will just take matters in to their own hands....and so they should. We are all personally responsible for our own well being and we can choose where we go/don't go, who we see and who we don't see etc etc. Parents will stop sending their kids to school, are schools really going to fine parents for it...probably not. I'm fortunate I work from home and my missus doesn't work so we are able to be sensible about what we do and where we go etc. The same can't be said for our teenage son (18) who like most other 18 year olds is out of the house more than he is in it.

Closing schools is just the start but how far can you go? Realistically unless they declare martial law or some **** like that and put the army out on the streets to make sure nobody....and I mean nobody leaves the confines of their own home then it's all pointless. People and goods still need to move about, people will go to pubs and socialise, people will go to church/mosque etc etc, concerts will go ahead and cinema's and theatres are still open. The list is endless. The best we can do is take responsibility for our own and make sensible choices. The best our government can do is to lockdown the UK and stop all incoming/outgoing travel to other countries for 3-4 weeks. It's not going to solve the problem but it will make a good attempt at containing it. In reality it won't happen, as i said people and goods still need to move about so we all have to take responsibility for ourselves and families and hope for the best.

 

Uefa being postponed, a load of Leicester guys quarantined and La Liga postponed now.

All getting tedious.

Let's just have a corona party to speed things up , like when kids have chicken pox parties to deliberately get infected. Whoever dies will die, then we can get the football back on.

 

Are you an undertaker?

 

Want to know something hilarious? Here's what happens if you suspect you or someone in your household has it:

1) Ring NHS 111.
2) After being liberal with the truth on the options, get through to someone.
3) Agree a test is needed. Details will be taken. The wait time for someone to contact you is 72 hours.
4) More than 72 hours later you get a call and are asked to drive somewhere for a test the next day. Nearly in day five. At this point, the patient is pretty much back to normal.
5) Go for the test, which is a swab.
6) Test results take 24 hours to come back. Nearly a week since you had the temperature/cough, your results might be back.
7) Wait for an indefinite period of time to be contacted. The NHS don't know and can't comment as to how long that's taking, but 5 days isn't unusual

So all in all, our emergency procedure takes almost 2 weeks. If you had it, you're either in ICU or back at school passing it on. The "advice" is non-existent. Schools are saying "please come in", NHS are saying nothing.

It is beyond a shadow of a doubt an unmitigated ****ing disaster.

In good news, Mike Ashley's going to be worth the square root of **** all in about 2 months time. Remember he said his "money" was all tied up in shares......LOLOLOLOLOLOL YOLOLOL LOLOLOLOLOL

Silver linings and all that. He's HAVE to sell.

 

It's not happening!

 

The cure is worse than the disease.

 

Because Boris is a knob

 

The choice isn't between tanking the economy and saving lives; being poor kills too.

Worst estimates of a pandemic are about 20,000 UK deaths. More than that die each winter through being a bit skint with respect to heating, eating and the like. I have no reliable figures for the number of deaths that costing everybody, say, two weeks wages would cause but I expect it would be rather a lot.

 

You must feel really valued.

They talked about kids not getting the virus and how that is ok because they won't suffer much, so no worries about who gets infected in schools.
They talked about kids spreading the virus and how they want to avoid them passing it on to their grandparents at the peak time.

I don't think they once mentioned the word teachers

 

If football is going to be played behind closed doors where will the Mackems go for a sh*t?

 

Sports ban incoming. Looks like everything is going to be postponed

 

Worst estimates (though extremely unlikely) is 80% infected with approx 1% mortality rate.

1% of 80% of 65,000,000 would be 520,000.

The poverty it causes will be real and will cause real problems and real deaths. How many people can't afford to stockpile 14 days food in order to self isolate? There is also the issue of how cut off many people are in society. I fully expect that once this all plays out some people, particularly elderly, will be found in their homes unnoticed and not missed (in terms of people noticing not seeing them). It is going to be a very difficult situation to balance.

 

Reading between the lines, I think the Government have tried to say (literally just now) that old/sick should be careful, young and healthy may feel a bit unwell, but carry on please.

The problem, I'm sorry to say, is going to be the same ones already clogging up the NHS. I know that's a horrendous generalisation and there are a decent percentage of genuinely unwell people who need care. But there's also a lot of arseholes the World won't miss.

What I don't quite understand is how 1,000 people have died in Italy. How the **** did that happen? Why Italy?

 

I'm trying to comprehend how I'll cope with life without Lawro's predictions.....

 

In all honesty teachers and those working in education are not valued by 95% of the UK population so no real surprise really

 

Quite right. I should have said "worst realistic case".

It will be a delicate balance. Ignore it and get virus deaths. Go into lock down and get poverty deaths. Do anything in between and get both.

 

Is DPP still whining about having to interrupt his lengthy holidays?
