Chat about Novel Coronavirus - 2019-nCoV - COVID-19

House builders furloughing staff on the government payout. Perhaps time for the Permission director to use his 120 million bonus.

Clearly society only gives a fuck when the homeless are seen as an infection risk. I'm fuming.

Oh. They don’t care. They just see homeless as a vector for transmission. They say ‘house’ but actually mean imprison.

I mean if you pretty much live outside, it’s kinda difficult to be forced indoors for 23hrs a day. Get given a ‘home’ though. Not so much.

My upstairs nurse neighbour thanked me. I assume for the clapping although she was also giggling at my semi

So glad I kept reading.

I thought that was a nice touch.

This just keep on giving...

Mate in Dubai - “check this - they are disinfecting the streets and roads with blokes and also drones - and the drones, if they see you fly up to you and tell you to go home in 12 different languages. Jesus.”

Boris has tested positive

Yeah see, that kind of thing can fuck right off.

Boris himself? I shouldn't laugh

Holy fuck, someone wake me up... This is too good...

Paternity test?

Have they decided to give it to Boris on purpose? So they hope he can get it done and over with and then will be able to do meetings and discussions freely?

Paternity test?

ha

Jesus, Robocop is here, ED209 to be released onto the streets in 3,2,1,....

Hope he takes it on the chin.

The person I spoke to won't stay in free shelters, her phone got stolen and she said addicted people make it difficult to sleep, some are also aggressive. A few others are the same, at least the Belfastians are generally sound and give food/money.

Of course treatment for drug addiction is another area the UK is not great at...

Could all be bollocks like the Prince Charlie one, sure Cummings would recommend it as a PR exercise, WAC.

The Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, has tested positive for coronavirus, the BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg reports.

I assume he told her over breakfast, she’ll need to self isolate now to I should think. Perhaps she’ll just stay at number 10 to make life easier.

At least I got through to one person on that thread, his mates choose to stay ignorant cos of "the media". eyeroll

Really good thread about the politicisation of the science around this pandemic.

Priti Patel to be the next PM?

EDIT: no seriously, who’s in charge if he is hospitalised?

Awkward though, he'll have to tell all his sexual partners.

Yes full contact tracing over recent weeks could be fun.

Awkward though, he'll have to tell all his sexual partners.

Which will take some time as he's fucked the entire country.

Boo-yeah!

Boris tests positive:

If you don't know the story already google: Pericles.

The wiki entry does not make it immediately clear that the Athenian plague was at least partly due to Pericles' own policies.

As a classicist Boris will know about this and probably, in the past, would have wished to be compared with him (P. was a great orator)

However, he will also have known P's fate, which may be why Boris has been looking a bit uncomfortable recently.

Awkward though, he'll have to tell all his sexual partners.

and his children, if he knows who they are
