GNR_RNR Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 11 hours ago, allwaystired said: The UK government response to this so far has been woeful, and I see that very much as the acts of a government who couldn't give a fuck about the best interests of the people and only care about money and businesses. Spotted the person who doesn't understand the UK government's approach. As of now we're in the contain phase and are slowly transitioning into the delay phase (with an aim to move the stress on health services to spring/summer). Implement too harsh restrictions (such as those in Italy) and you lead to the public becoming fatigued at such measures. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor do many it seems- they're doing and saying nothing. I've little faith in them on every level. I also don't understand the people who voted for an openly racist prime minister though, so I'm at a loss all round. But this is probably all a conversation for another thread!

VampireSoul Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Just cancelled my London hotels 😔 Too risky for me personally, my city is so far corona free and I work with the elderly, don't wanna bring back something and kill off my 24 patients.. Bummed. Curious to see if the shows still go on, seeming more and more unlikely.. In Europe that is. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnrcane Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 (edited) If a government is going to ban large gatherings they should also ban mass transit. At a concert or sporting event the risk of infection is the people sitting close to you. Same on a bus or train. You aren't getting infected from a person two sections away. They will use the logic that a large gathering has a high chance of having infected attendees based on sheer numbers. 1000 people using a subway are just as likely (if not more especially compared to an outdoor concert) to be exposed to the virus as 1000 people at a concert. If a government bans the gatherings but doesn't shut down mass transit they are hypocritical and just putting on a show for their constituents at the expense of people who would like to attend the events. Regardless, looking at the China and South Korea new infection curves, it is quite possible that a month from now this virus will be contained for the most part outside of Iran.

People need public transportation to get to work. concerts and other gatherings are fun events which arent neccessary now. but work has to go on 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, it's definitely possible, but July is still almost 4 months away, while the quarantines imposed in Europe (for public events) are usually for one month so far, so this may be a bit premature. But I get it, they don't wanna risk anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulMonster Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 If we see the same development of the epidemic in Europe as we are seeing in China, there will be no reason to cancel the European tour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DurhamGirl Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 I am watching a scientist being interviewed by Joe Rogan. If what he is saying is true then we ALL need to be aware of what we are doing, he said there is much misinformation and that in fact this virus is going to be much more worse than we are being told. 1 It is around 15 times worse than the flue and in a few more months there are going to be a high amount of deaths. 2 It is NOT an oldg peoples illness, it seems like it is as this is just the begining and the first to die are those with other underlyiing problems. and lots more, if you get the chance watch this Joe Rogan programme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
