if you think it’s only the US and GB, then you’ve obviously not been to Australia. Social distancing seems to be a thing that as long as you don’t get in a sections of the populations way you can maintain it, but if you do get in their way they’ll walk straight into you.
The selfish behaviour at the supermarkets, the larger than normal crowds at beaches and parks at the weekend, our people treating it like a holiday. It may be subsiding now, but as I said, the damage is done.
Any idea if that include cars that need their MOT before 30th? Mine's booked in for Friday and expires on the 29th.
How do you know it is done? I’ve seen in this thread that using comparable time scales UK locked down sooner than other countries. Or was that wrong too?
Your really doing your best to be thread banned arent you
Again, I do think China have under-reported the figures.
Was going to post this a while ago but completely forgot as I now try to avoid this thread (not very easy!). This is exactly it. Nobody knows what’s going on and stories that are speculation, whether they are positive or negative, really don’t help. They damage mental health (I know personally what it’s doing to mine) and they fuel the spread of misinformation.
Thanks for everything you're doing at the moment mate, i know you'll say its your job but it still requires the will to go into work in these awful times and conditions. Much appreciated
I honestly think every country's chief medical officer should be leading all national briefings, with the head of state standing by their side. Heads of state aren't senior doctors and they can't deliver a message of this sort in the way a doctor can.
Agreed.
They're not saying you can't go get your car fixed or have it's MOT. It's just so people don't have to venture out to make sure it's still insured or go through the hassle of declaring it off road whilst you're isolating.
Good video -- reminder that despite the difference in society, governments etc, people are people. We may look different but we are all the same -- going through our struggles, happiness, life goals etc no different anywhere else around the world.
The funny thing is at work, lessons learnt from others is the best since its the cheapest way to learn.
I suspect its about practicality.
From what I understood from my brother who just flew into Shanghai quarantine in your place of residence isn’t even an option. It is mandatory 14 days in the government hotel. Foreigners caught trying to escape it are immediately deported as well. Not sure what happens with a Chinese person caught breaking it.
You can be 100% sure Trump is going to win elections anyway.
Prison, probably. They don't treat anyone lightly.
Sorry, this is from a Chinese national that I know, I should have said that in my post. I imagine the measures are different for non-Chinese like you said.
I think Dr Fauci is doing an incredible job in very difficult circumstances. If he pushes Trump away, then what? He gets fired and they probably bring in a spineless yes man to do his job instead. You have to strike a very difficult balance in these situations when dealing with people that, rightly or wrongly, are not going away.
I swear looking at this thread gives me more anxiety than anything else I read.
If you're looking at numbers with very little information or without having done any reading on the situations of these countries for the past two months, you're going to have suspicions. It's one thing to have questions because you aren't fully informed, but it's quite another to come with full conspiracy hat on about dying testament of murdered doctors, and then go with look, the number don't look right to me when people question it.
And yet people still wanted to go to the pub...
All three of them?
The onus is still on the driver of a vehicle to make sure a car is roadworthy before driving it. Cars don't suddenly become safe or unsafe because of an MOT.

Precisely. The government let it get to this point and is pointing the finger at the people and others are falling for this trap.
Whom did he have contact with that we know about?
That needs to be remembered for the inevitable inquiry afterwards. It was a shocking dereliction of their duty of care to the public.
