This is a politician tactic, not a left tactic.

Avoiding the question is, but using a smear by labelling people sexist, racist, homophobic etc is a trait of the left and it’s rampant in the UK’s Labour Party

I feel like Yes Minister can explain everything in politics the same way Simpsons predicts most things.

I was too young to appreciate this at the time, but you’re spot on I see a lot of clips posted from this show that explains shit that is still massively relevant today. None more so than this one

It will be chaos in the US. Undertesting along with their health care system is a recipe for disaster.

Correct. One of my best mates just moved to Boston and said it is an absolute shitshow.

Could cost Trump his re-election. The fact that he is literally the only world leader downplaying the whole thing is a massive gamble. If it somehow does blow over he is going to come out of it as untouchable, but it’s very unlikely it will

This is the nail in his coffin. I rated him as a good chance at the end of last year but, now, I think he is as good as done.

Yep, also considering it is likely to **** the economy which was his big meal ticket to reelection. Trump has turned out to be an utter moron and so much of his shit is impossible to defend. Shame because I thought he’d genuinely do great things for that country but I think old age has damaged him. Listen to interviews asking him political stuff when he was younger there was a much greater sincerity and seriousness about him. Compare that to the Trump of now and you know something has gone seriously wrong upstairs with him

My sister had an appointment with her thoracic surgeon yesterday and he said that there isn’t anything to worry about even if you do get it. It’s only a concern for those in the community who are already sick with major problems, such as those with cancer if they contract the Coronavirus. Or other issues but not an issue if you contract the virus and didn’t have anything wrong with you. The 2 week quarantine period is a precaution and in most cases you’ll start to feel better after the first 3 days. He said a bunch of stuff, most of which I am drawing a blank on, but all in all it’s mass hysteria thanks to the media. It doesn’t mean I don’t think the FA shouldn’t cancel football in England until next season.

Another small antidote, yesterday my mum asked her sister-in-laws cousin who works in Woolworths when is a good time to buy toilet paper if it needs to be bought and the cousin just shook her head. She said that Woolworths (and probably most supermarkets) will put out one or two pallets and that’s it. Now I do wonder if TP is freely available but the shelves don’t get stocked regularly for whatever reason.

If you are old and sick then you are ****ed. Otherwise, you should be ok.

 

[WealstoneRaider]

What about if you are old(ish) and sick(ish) though?

 

[WealstoneRaider]

Anyway if I’m taken out by corona I can come back and make some better life decisions next time. Like not decide to become a Tottenham fan. Every cloud ..

 

[Bojan KantKick]

Make sure you have lots of toilet paper...

 

[Fwoy]

Make sure you have lots of toilet paper...

I spoke to my folks yesterday arvo...they bought a 36 pack, so I can borrow some if needed

Two immediate family members are doctors and have had direct contact with infectious disease specialists in the past week. What they've been hearing from the 'inside' is that COVID is no joke. Not just a bad cold, is easily transmitted and is a danger to all ages, not just the old and sick. Most in the industry are very concerned apparently.

Loud and clear, it is to them that this is only the beginning and society is in for a very difficult period spanning at least 6 months.

Even our healthcare system, which is highly stable, is expecting to struggle significantly. Huge concern as to how the US is going to deal with it.

Thanks for the additional information. Sounds like worrying times ahead.

I'm hopeful that we as a collective society can take the necessary precautions in order to mitigate the severity of the eventual impact.

Im sure my local had a pack as one of the prizes for quiz night.

So do I need old 1000 rolls of toilet paper or not? Asking for a friend.

 

[Cruyff14]

Don't know about anyone else, but right now I am living as normal.

I mostly work from home, so if shit goes south I'll be good as gold.
