Coronavirus

[justjess]

Bars and parks are closed. Private business has been dictated for operational hours. For all intents and purposes it is martial law.

The martial law or not issue aside..

I am deeply concerned that children in abusive homes are not going to be checked in on to make sure they are okay for the foreseeable future. Special response units only respond to new allegations.. it’s skeleton crew. They have no capability to keep up with regular supervision requirements.

I guess they finally found the apocalypse clause in that contract I signed my life away on..

What do the Americans here think of The Families First Coronavirus Response Act? It looks pretty comprehensive to me.

Interesting.
"Problem-Solution".
On the surface, it looks harmless, but it's a fraction of the money that is going to bail out wonky American companies like Boeing.

And then people ask why do I keep calling US stupid.

Key worker: official list of UK personnel who can still send children to school

Those working to provide essential goods and services are exempt from general closure of schools

www.theguardian.com

So schools aren't really closed...all teachers have to come in for full days and babysit the children of 'key workers' which are a list of important workers (think hospitals, emergency services and supermarkets...)

I don't work in a primary or secondary school so this doesn't apply to me but I do find this difficult to accept as those teachers wont have an Easter break too...so by May, they will have been working flat out since February with no holiday/breaks...

Hope you enjoy life after Brexit.

Of course I will, for a start Boris is tightening up the immigration rules to only allow skilled people into Britain who'll make a useful contribution to our country, not like the useless scroungers who were flooding in before..

Insider worker for the military says Martial law hits within 48 hours. And that they wont protect us but the stores from being looted.

 

[Awoken2]

I just can't believe how serious the situation is here now......even the BTS thread has now slowed down....wtf!?!?

.....(runs out of house screaming with arms in the air to local supermarket to panic buy what every other soft bastard is panic buying)

Well I'm prepared for the Apocalypse, I just bought this bunch of food and drink from 3 separate stores (top pic), i loaded it all into my big rucksack and two hand-held bags, then staggered home under the weight as if i was on an SAS selection course.The only thing they'd run out of was bread.A security guard at one place was giving me funny looks but who cares haha.
Later today I plan to foray out to several more stores to load up again, concentrating on tinned goods and looking for that elusive bread..

The bottom pic shows 3 items, from left to right- a wind-up torch, a wind-up radio and a rechargeable mini-TV, I've had them for years for a time such as this. "Wind up" of course means you don't need batteries..

It's odd isn't it? Money cannot cure this virus but trillions will go missing fighting it.

The biggest problem is the disappearing money not the virus.

Think about that for a minute.

I also read the Daily Express and the Mirror etc because we holy men like to get a good balanced view of what's going on on this planet..
How about it JC?
