Half the nation in a state of absolute terror. It never used to be like this. Once this coronavirus issue dies down what's next because odds on they're be another gigantic scare story to freeze the nation rigid in terror. What's driving it all? personally I think it's social media. We've always had echo chambers but social media has amplified the echo chambers several fold. One day there will actually be something that we ought to take seriously and you know the irony? Nobody will believe it! You do know this is still a thing don't you?

They got Swine flu wrong. They got bird flu wrong. MERs was supposed to lead to babies with small heads, since been proved nonsense. In fact the only consistency here is that they get every one of these so called killer viruses wrong. I've never, never seen anything like this. This is unique in my experience. I've never seen schools closed for long periods. I've not experienced football volunteering to stop all games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are right that this is all bs at some stage a true killer will arrive and this type of experience will be invaluable. It does look like this one primarily reaps earlier than would for those with health issues but it is the risk of mutation that energises the experts.

But you are right its so sad to see. We haven't done anything any different and have got what we need. There is only so many times i can wash my hands and wipe my arse. I heard two people at work talking yesterday about how they are going to stock up on ammunition this weekend....!! “Got to be prepared” at least you don’t have to put up with red neck idiots like that over there....!

To think how easy it would be to prove the 'killer viruses' are nothing to be bothered with why didn't China just do nothing? Why didn't Italy or Iran?

I'd be disappointed if the government werent following the advice being given, i would suspect no matter who was in power the UK's approach would be a similar one which is probably why there hasn't been a huge outcry from opposition leaders to the actions being taken. That’s not what I’m suggesting, but it’s still Boris who makes the final decision on whether to implement a plan. I’m my opinion, that makes it ‘his’ plan.
