Strong opening comment.

bye.

@Velocio just what no-one needs at the moment - troll in the shape of @user110903

We're all an advocate for you cocking off elsewhere and aborting your cuntish behaviour.

Worry is that we keep going amidst big daily death rates for a good while as you say (year?). Can we stick it socially as a strategy? It's very depressing just to contemplate.

I think the general public needs to fear the virus or there is no support for necessary restrictions. Which means some deaths.

With 20/20 hindsight we could have closed all international borders an New Years Day. Would be really hungry by now though.

Yeah they had a circle chug recently. they both hate immigrants, which worries me as an immigrant, although he seems to not mind the Russian/German retiree immigrants so I might be fine.

Orbans oxford education was funded by the communist party. May not be relevant as he’s more fascist just an interesting point.

👍👍👍

My disaster preparedness plan involved marrying someone who trained as a hairdresser.

I'm sure they'll be back.

Oh well. Thanks!

the current UK long-term strategy

Current being the operative word.

Yeah the efficiency drive and constant benchmarking between hospitals and metrics are virtually all output based and Lord Carter’s report really pushed it on.

Side note actually a huge fan of the fine for spreading shite.

Absolutely love that.

Quite a few of the current political establishment in the UK is ex-revolutionary communist party, and Brendan O'Neill is probably the noisiest journalist to hail from the RCP.

It's the horseshoe theory of political alignment.

Some positive thoughts on long term strategy

• antibody test will have a big impact on freeing a set of people to return to normal
  
• increase in antigen testing capacity will allow us to get on top of new out breaks down the line more quickly
  
• same for increased sophistication of contact tracing
  
• knowledge of symptoms will improve even for mild / asymptomatic cases allowing people to know when to quarantine
  
• NHS capacity will expand
  
• a vaccine might be developed
  
  

I think we will see current restrictions relaxed in 8-12 weeks somewhat. Whether and if we return to normal relies on a lot of factors if is hard to predict.

Plus the Black Death created the social and economic conditions for the Renaissance, so look on the bright side.

The Nightingale excel hospital is a pretty amazing achievement.
So to add to the things we can do when we have to, we can:

Re-nationalise key industries
Offer a proper safety net to everyone
House the homeless
Develop viral testing and antibody test really quickly
Infringe of freedom
Engage a network of local people to support local vulnerable people
Much more obv

Did mine this morning, about 8 months of growth, could've gone better but I think I've paid for worse.

Is there a covid-19 hairstyle thread yet?

I hope so. I need to see them

You start!

I'm considering a Covid-19 baseball cap purchase, but I'm a bit lost with all the choice.

You start!

I immediately regret my decision!

Yeah, it's called tik tok. we've all seen it.
