03.10.20 | We've already had a confirmed case where I work but they just gave the place a clean and we're all back in
Protecting the economy is pretty obviously the prime concern in the UK above anything else (personal safety etc) - clearly the strategy |
theBoneyKing
03.10.20 | It’s all a bit alarmist but I understand why the school is doing it - practically everyone here lives in relatively close quarters in university housing so if it gets here it will spread like crazy - and there are a lot of old profs who are at higher risk even if they had just moved classes online. |

03.10.20 | Theres been about 15 cases of coronavirus in my entire province (which is very large btw) and people are in full panic mode, the city is out of masks and toilet paper and costco is a fucking mob 24/7, and all the asian malls are dead cuz everyone is racist and afraid to go |
parksungjoon
03.10.20 | wtf is an asian mall |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
03.10.20 | That being said my dumbass country does stuff like allow known coronavirus carriers arriving home from out of country to casually continue onto their next connecting flight |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
03.10.20 | That's a stupid question |
parksungjoon
03.10.20 | why |
JohnnyoftheWell
03.10.20 | But are people reading poetry huh?
I'm leaving the UK in one week exactly and the one thing that gives me solace is that BoJo doesn't have the stones to shut airports or quarantine cities in that time (or maybe beyond) |

03.10.20 | I hear apple is giving all employees including retail unlimited sick leave. This is imperative imo for all retail/restaurants chains where employees cant afford to stay home so they come in deathly ill. Hopefully all businesses follow suit. Im sure mine wont. Everyone is sick here too. |

Protecting the economy is pretty obviously the prime concern in the UK above anything else (personal safety etc) - clearly the strategy'
Dude Madrid is the fastest rising amount of cases right now. ALl La Liga games behind closed doors but we are letting Atletico fans fly over. some to liverpool some to london and have a couple of thousand of them just roaming about hahahah (Insert 'its only Liverool joke')
Boris said we should just let it take over and 'take it on the chin' rather than hysteria the mad tory bastard. |
garas
03.10.20 | My dumbass country technically cancelled our national holiday because of the virus.
Über dis. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
03.10.20 | I wouldnt exactly say we should all go out and tongue kiss someone with coronavirus and get it over with but the hysteria is certainly not helpful at all and damaging to the economy as well as the medical community |
garas
03.10.20 | [2] what Potsy said. |
Thalassic
03.10.20 | All I know is that I lost quite a bit of money in stocks the last few weeks
Which sucks |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
03.10.20 | It's also honestly just kind of embarassing.
Over here (with our 15 whole cases in THE ENTIRE PROVINCE) people cramming into costco and fighting for provisions like knuckle daggers on black friday just putting themselves at higher risk lmao
Fuck just sit on your couch and order the shit through amazon if ur THAT worried |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
03.10.20 | @thalassic yeah man its effecting virtually everyone in some way. I just printed like 800 shirts for some convention last week and they got rejected at the convention center because they had to cancel the whole thing. They arent getting their money back tho so it actually doesnt hurt me.... so nvm |
Thalassic
03.10.20 | Yeah the economic effect this has is crazy
And for what? I have a feeling anyway that sooner or later they'll have to give up and just say "welp I guess we can't keep it under control and we'll have to let the virus do its work, the strong will survive" |
Deez
03.10.20 | Theres a huge difference between out right panic and hyperbole and being a leader of the county and not giving the slightest fuck and literally saying 'we should allow it to spread through the country' especially given his parties disdain for the working class. This is like Christmas for them. Take some of the old fuckers out, whining about not getting enough money for food/hearing and that all the time. Peasants. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
03.10.20 | Yeah that's fucked |
Thalassic
03.10.20 | That's kinda what they're saying almost everywhere though
Over here it's almost literally like "oh we're not gonna close anything down except for a few fests, 98% of the people dying from this virus are 80+ anyway!" |
Deez
03.10.20 | Yeah there seems to be a general glossing over of the millions of people with heart and immune problems that arent over 70! Imagine fighting in a World war for your country and then being brushed off when a Virus threatens your life. 'Pahhh theyre dying anyway'
Im just praying Roadburn festival isnt cancelled. Priorities. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
03.10.20 | Even so, some of the tactics (or lack there of) for containing this are genuinely upsetting. I mentioned it earlier but, for instance, a lady coming back from china to either Montreal or Ottawa or something was screened and was carrying coronavirus and they literally just let her go get on her connecting flight and come home to vancouver... like what the absolute fuck is that shit? Is it a rights thing? Cuz honestly in that instance imo the bitch should have been instantaneously put in isolation. How the fuck is it a good idea to just stick her on another loaded plane and send her off? Especially when health officials are all concerned that it's going to get out of hand here... fucking retards |
Deez
03.10.20 | Totally what I was saying about the football. In spain all football is now behind closed doors. But theres a Spanish team playing an English team tomorow (from Madrid where the numbers are rocketing) So THOUSAND of them will be just rocking up through airports and shit and wandering around the Cities on a fucking Island. So dumb. Its annoying the huge over reaction but equally so some basic fucking checks for gods sake. |
Thalassic
03.10.20 | All of those people living in Northern Italy - which has been quarantined for a reason - fleeing to the South makes me slap my forehead as well |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
03.10.20 | Yeah straight up. On the flip side of the people in hysterics though you have these absolute fucktarded PC idiots who are accusing obvious precautions of being racist. For instance, my girlfriend teaches acro to kids all around the lower mainland. One of the studios she teaches at is primarily chinese students who actually go back and forth to visit their family frequently, so of course the owner (also chinese) sent around an email to the faculty to make sure to wash hands all the time and to sanitize the mats every day etc (all obvious shit) and of course you have a handful of white fucks being like "THATS RACIST! THATS RACIAL PROFILING JUST CUZ THEY ARE CHINESE DOESNT MEAN THEY HAVE CORONAVIRUS"
No you absolute fucking waste of a brain,. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
03.10.20 | Yep its racist so fuck it, lick your hands and slap a chinese kid on the forehead |
DoofDoof
03.10.20 | there's a lot of 'blitz spirit/I'm hard me' sort of attitude in the UK...which lets the politicians off
"look, my humble subjects aren't scared"
BBC 'Have Your Say' on corona was hilarious/terrifying - along the lines of 'never had flu in my life, never been sick, not scared of this and I'm 68, load of nonsense'
if you've had the actual flu you would know it's fukkin nasty, and this can be worse |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
03.10.20 | Who cares if we spread coronavirus amongst the children as long as I'm woke |
anat
03.10.20 | I'm not impervious, but also not as worried about having the virus as I am passing it onto people who are more vulnerable. |
Thalassic
03.10.20 | "if you've had the actual flu you would know it's fukkin nasty, and this can be worse"
The actual flu basically feels like dying |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
03.10.20 | Yeah seriously, anyone knowingly returning home with that shit etx and putting more vulnerable people at risk are absolute fucking scum imo |
Deez
03.10.20 | Honestly Doof this county has become one of those classic 80 british comedies. Fucking morons. I saw a satire site with a headline saying 'If coronavirus hits UK will we wear masks or are we too hard??' hahaha sums it up. |
Deez
03.10.20 | aye Pots some chinese kid got his head kicked in over hear 'We dont want your Virus over here' Absolute weapons. If that was your real worry maybe fucking touching him at all isnt the smartest thing to do. Poor kid. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
03.10.20 | Yeah see now THATS racist |

03.10.20 | I am a Chinese. now my homeland is safe. but Europa is not. I got enough discriminatory look these two months in Europa when I wear masks.
now the country I am staying in (Germany) is facing a serious outbreak. since last month I was actively working on promoting proper protection, ventilation, and hygiene in the university, obtained a lot of resistance, even the German good friends were impatient and everyone is relaxed. Now it outbreaks as I predicted, and under the surface, they are secretly holding their ego and accusing of this Chinese virus.
Last weekend I tried to convince people to cancel a house party and it ended up with I was mocked and isolated.
I don't know if they will realize if I was selfish enough I could just book a flight and go back to my home. I don't know if they know my overreacting is not to let the virus break their families.
anyway, I shut up now. and staying at home and working. got enough food and supplement. I closed my door and am using my resources to bring some masks to Germany to help.

Lord(e)Po)))ts
03.10.20 | Over here people buying out all the masks is apparrently compromising healthcare professionals ability to get them to people who really need them (compromised immune systems etc) |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
03.10.20 | Sorry to hear bout all that though sounds like you were just being a compassionate person and you deserve better treatment than that |

03.10.20 | thanks Lord(e)Po)))ts.
the sad part is I can see the canceling of tours will happen soon. a less fun year and wasted time |

Deez
03.11.20 | So I just listened to that expert in infectious disease epidemiology on Bro Johan and now im actually worried |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
03.11.20 | Why gimme the scoop |
Deez
03.11.20 | Basically he says this is the very beginning and they predict this to be x10 x15 times worse than season flu (illness and fatalities). 'conservitive predictions' of 480,000 deaths. People are just expecting it to be done in a few weeks when they predict it will go on for at least 6 months. Also teh 'only kills old' is none sense based on teh fact a lot of the chinese initial numbers (deaths) where old men but the high majority where smokers and thats why it got them not age related. :/
He had an email from a Nurse in Milan who said they are having to 'choose who to let die' Not screening staff anymore because its all hands on deck. |
deathschool
03.11.20 | Where you live? |
Deez
03.11.20 | I live up in the Highlands of scotland so technically a good place to live I guess but I work in a hotel haha so....probably negates that. Its only just starting here though. Thats what this dudes saying people are thinking its ok cos its just 10/20/50 but the rate in some countries is doubling every few days and suddenly its 1000s before you know it. Italians were going about their normal lives a few weeks ago now its full lockdown. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
03.11.20 | Word, some of that is as I expected but didnt know the smoker thing glad I quit lol |
notagenius
03.11.20 | if you really want to know about the virus, it is not podcast or news, research articles are the most accurate. ( https://www.thelancet.com/ ) and not to mention the sequelae are still unknown.
the things I saw last month were extremely heavy. you don't want to know. Several times after I read the stories of patients, I had to head to the toilet to cry then pretended nothing. Although now I have the best protection I can do, I also prepare for the worst. It is a very realistic thing. |
JohnnyoftheWell
03.11.20 | Just read on the BBC that "10,000 tests a day can be done - currently 1,500 are being carried out"
I'm generally keeping my head down and trying not to stir the pot, but this strikes me as entirely inadequate and more than a little concerning. Gonna take all our confirmed figures with a pinch of salt from now |

The stuff overhead about smoking made me feel awful about Italy; think I only know one Italian who doesn't smoke (and I'm not 100% sure that's even the case for her)
also I asked my cat if he wanted to talk about his feelings more and he yawned at me, is this a coping mechanism? |

03.11.20 | I was thinking Boris Johnson's baby...Corona for a girl, Covid for a boy? |
DoofDoof
03.11.20 | also it's not just smokers and the old - biggest risk factor beyond those two is actually blood pressure/hypertension
Ok those can be worse with smokers and the old but anyone with high blood pressure/anxiety etc should take it seriously |
Demon of the Fall
03.11.20 | Anxiety? Feck sake, thought I was getting away scot free before you dropped that one. |
DoofDoof
03.11.20 | well, I guess only if it affects your bp - but the two are usually interconnected
doctor's in China said that blood pressure was actually the biggest common risk factor - but its linked to old age and smokers (generally men in china), so thats why it wasn't reported as a risk factor in its own right so much |
NorthernSkylark
03.11.20 | Things are happening fast here in Denmark too, not completely in shot down mode yet, but it's coming one of these days, the numbers are climbing by the day |
