SARS CoV-2 coronavirus / Covid-19 (No tin foil hat silliness please)
- Thread starter Don't Kill Bill
- Start date
-
In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
I am staggered how many people are removing all doubt when taking to their keyboards in this thread.
When you start invoking the Don, your argument is a shit one.
You think Boris dying would make the Don any less of a braindead egomaniac ?
Wouldn't need to be for those in rural environments living on acres of land. I'm more interested than complaining, i like seeing big data used and i imagine they'll learn a lot through such data for future pandemics.
I don't really know what you want me to say here? You're arguing bringing up of Trump makes my argument shit and yet you want me to clarify how I think American policy would be affected if a world leader their populace were familiar with were to die?
Sorry, you’re right.
We should all Hope Boris Johnson dies so that the idiot part of America and Donald Trump completely change their personalities.
I pieced together most of the England map to just see it properly for myself. If you zoom out one click more on the gov.uk map it becomes one large useless blue circle.

I don't think it's that interesting a conversation, and I don't want to bore people by dominating the thread with my inflammatory comment. But, yes, I think both Trump and Trump voters would behave differently.
Nah, don't make me go in there....
So you’re not interested in discovering how Covid-19 is linked to satanic child-sex trafficking rings run by the world’s elite?
Hancock has it too.
What the hell did I just read over the last few pages? This thread has been overall mostly level headed and informative, but the questioning of whether the freaking head of a government should be tested if he shows symptoms is just bizarre.
I don´t think that it was Johnsons right to be tested, but his fecking obligation. Not only is it the harsh truth that his personal health und ability to function is more important to the general puclic than others, the virus is not only a danger to him but to the he was in contact with the last few weeks, which is probably the majority of your current executive branch. If the spread can not be traced and contained you can find yourself with a crippled government in a few days. in a time when swift political actions can save hundreds, if not thousands of lives, such a scenario would be a freaking desaster....

Matt Hancock tests positive too. I imagine half the Cabinet must have it by now
Soon the UK may continue to not have a functioning government.
It’s crazy that at a time like this everyone is not questioning why people get preferential treatment.
Sounds like they should have done a better job of washing their hands
Some people might find it funny that Matt Hancock has caught it. I think anyone who can find schadenfreude in situations like this are absolutely terrible, awful, horrible, nasty people and almost as bad as the type people who can't spot sarcasm in posts like these.
Needs to be removed from office. Immediately.
No change there then.
Would it be bad if we found it funny that trump caught it? I mean he's basically likened to a conspiracy whereas BoJo and Hancock have taken it seriously.
That’s quite a sobering thought
You've set that one up beautifully.
You have to hope that somebody in there was sensible enough to split them into working groups and make sure they stay apart.
I would absolutely castigate you if you found it even the slightly bit humorous that Trump caught it.
Pretty quiet, actually. Outside of Berlin itself the north east of Germany was hit the least with the virus. Social disctancing is practised very seriously from what I can see and the health sector is still very robust. It also helps that I think that there is quite a lot of faith in the crisis management of our government and Merkel especially in the public. I don´t agree with most of her political ideology but she has proven that she can handle hard times well in the past with her methodical and scientific approach. We were also lucky that the first wave of infections were mostly younger folk who can handle Corvid better and by now most plans are in place to slow down the spread.
As my American housemate said, as I informed her of the worrying state of our PM, 'thoughts and prayers'.
Today I learned the word castigate
I am not a fan of Bojo no Trump buts it the obligation of any government to test responsible people in the government. The same way with the Crown Prince. It's a duty that the government test them.
This is the most difficult and dangerous times in our lives so far so let's not lose sight of what we are facing and so let's not lose the plot.
Thoughts and prayers indeed. I hope he can pull himself up by the bootstraps. If not we will just have to accept his untimely death as a sacrifice for the economy. Absolutely worth it hey @Fiskey?
If many more of them get it, we might have Mark Francois running things.

Is the plan that Raab basically hasn't been allowed out of his isolation tank for the last couple weeks? That was my understanding. That is what I'm clinging to, in the face of the prospect of Gove.
I thought I was toning it down............
Gi' it Corbyn till end o t'season
Well, at the rate they are all getting it, it seems that they practice self isolation pretty much the way they practice austerity. Its fine for everyone else.
Last time I saw raab, he was in the commons coughing up a lung, so it doesn't bode well.
There's gonna be a few million Trump supporters who, on their deathbeds, get a wakeup call as to the monstrosity they voted for and supported in his monstrous ways just because he also doesnt like foreigners. Karma, sadly.
I am still shocked as to how on Earth Trump has become the President of USA. This is unbelievable.
