I'm fed up of reading 'possible' 'maybe' forcasts. They are guesswork at best. Journalists should curb all speculation. Its all alarmist.Again another media source claiming to have 'seen reports or tip off' so hardly scientific facts. Still a concerning read and does not sound unnecessarily alarmist.

Small blessings but yeson the plus side its wiped all Brexit chat off the headlines.
It is. The approaches are poles apart too. One response is to treat it almost like Ebola, to isolate and kill the outbreak off. The other is to build herd immunity, so pretty much purposefully allow it to spread.
What an absolutely ridiculous thing to say. A tornado and a hurricane are the same thing, just one is over water and the other is over land. Really fills you with confidence in scientists' proclamations when they come out with idiotic faux-profundity like that.this is not a tornado, it is a hurricane
He was using the analogy as a means to illustrate the scale difference between the government's ineffective short-termist, knee-jerk responses and the long-term/huge impacts the virus will have.What an absolutely ridiculous thing to say.

But, but, I was told, repeatedly, by the people now in Government, that we would have leave the EU to Take Back Control Of Our Borders. Now it turns out to have been wrong. Is it possible the government are nothing but perfidious cunts?Germany has just closed its borders to neighbouring countries.

From within that article, it refers back to an article written by Steve Albini from 1993 about how bands got / get screwed over by 'the music industry' which was interesting too:Depressing stuff

The pharmacist called in sick on Sunday night. There is about half of out script waiting until a pharmacist can be sent over (for an hour between 2-3pm. We are only allowed 3 days worth at a time and everything is 'just on time' ordering meds every week, no stocks... so even if we wait till then, get half what we need, this is going to be an issue. Whilst I was at the pharmacy, at least half a dozen people arrived, most needing urgent prescriptions. I think we are going to see the effects of 40 years of austerity/privatisation. There is no-one picking up the phone at the treatment clinic either. I feel we have been abandonned and am very, very scared.Totally get why you are panicking but its got to be a priority, getting people the medicines they are dependant on, those places surely would not be closed for virus reasons whilst people are still swanning about going to restaurants etc. even in the European countries that are in full lock down, pharmacies are still open.
I've just had a text saying not to go to the GP surgery under any circumstances! Anyone know if this is a general thing that is happening, or do I have a local issue?
