Draconian measures

I've been saying this all along. How many times has he called for bans on people that don't share his world view?

A lot of people don’t share my world views, probably vast majority, but I only call for ban of Mor Ons who share Putins world views - like yourself.

Small businesses, like pubs, can't claim on insurance because the government is "advising" and not accepting responsibility (a common theme with Dom/Boris).
If the government says "you must", then they can at least claim for loss of earnings, pay their staff, etc.

But hey ho, it's the will of the people. Shoot yourself in the foot, then blame the foot.

Wouldn't it be ironic if this virus, and the way Dom/Boris are dealing with it, ends up with 'spoonies having to close down a number of their pubs

[Whorty]

Equally how does insurance that works on the basis of 1-5% max of people claiming survive when all 100% wish to claim...

Insurance companies will survive - they deal with catastrophes every year, this is just on a slightly larger scale.

Insurance companies will survive - they deny valid claims every year, this is just on a slightly larger scale.

You seem to be saying no one cares for an individuals life, but you expect that individual to care about others little lives. I think there's a flaw in your logic there.

Nope. But don't worry about it.

I'm all for closing everything down to limit the spread, but then also read this:

How will I be reimbursed if I have been laid off?

Which makes sense as small / medium business can't simply carry on paying people without any money coming in. Government needs to step in and have a solid plan in place, otherwise everything just goes to tulip very quickly.

Govt won’t have solid plan, they rarely do and never in emergency like this covering whole world

"Many of you would have seen the recent press conference regarding the Coronavirus given by the Prime Minister along with the Government's Chief Medical and Science Officers earlier on this evening. They gave the Government assessment on as to where this country is in relation to the spread of this disease at this moment in time and they gave recommendations on what is going to happen next with regards to what the people of this country are to to do going forward.

If any are in doubt as to the Government Policy and as to why they are doing things the way their doing things then this might explain in simple terms what the Government policy means. I hope you find it of some use.

The plan is to segregate all vulnerable people (older, ill, disabled and at risk) let’s call this group A

Anyone looking after the older, ill and at risk can be group B

The general population / generally healthy can be group C

Group C needs to go about it’s business keeping the country moving, kids at school, us at work

Group B looks after group A and avoids contact with C

Group C is allowed to contract the virus and because it’s generally healthy it can cope with it better than group A

Group A and B are almost self isolating without the virus to avoid putting strain on the NHS and reducing the risk of getting the virus and then needing the NHS

Group C (the generally healthy) go through the cycle of contracting the virus self isolating and being looked after by healthy family members, friends and the local community

Anyone who has complications gets looked after by the NHS while groups A and B are kept away The NHS are not strained by A and B while its looking after complicated cases in C

As group C comes full circle and recovers it divides in to groups that take group B’s position looking after group A allowing group B to go though the cycle

With B and C though the cycle, A is free to have NHS to itself because B and C are now clear from illness and infection and hopefully have a degree of immunity from getting it again this season.

Hope this helps those that are worried or not sure of the plan

Everyone has a job to do for the above to work and we must all be resolute and understanding if we, as a Nation are to get through this."

Not sure where you copied that guff from, is it you or the source that don't know the difference between it's and its?

Just because you imagine you are in group A doesn't excuse your attitude.

[shaunbhoy]

Not sure

They'll carve that on your gravestone. Your world is just one endless vortex of flustered triggered bewilderment.

You truly are the dimwit's dimwit.
