Thank feck it's the nose.

Do you want to be 'told' what to and how to act or do you want to be advised and make your own judgement on this advice.
It seems some want telling so they have someone to blame, when no one living on this planet has ever seen this scenario.
How can you make a plan.
All countries doing different things in different ways.
Who knows which is the best way.
Maybe some would prefer to be totally kept in the dark and make there own mind up on information they havent been given in the first place.
Personally I am worried for me and mine and am following the advice given.
You can make your own plan,no one is stopping you.

Of course, you can make your own decisions and take precautions but there is a limit to what you can do. Society and public services are controlled by the government. Haven't you noticed yet that OUR government sits on its ar$e whilst others around the world react? Let's face it ... we're behind the pace and will be playing catch up when they get back to their offices.

Denial is not just a river in Egypt

Every other country doing the correct thing then?
No one knows the best way to deal with it.
ATM it's all guess work and live trialling
One strategy might work.
They may all fail.
if it works somewhere then going forward during the next 1 in a 100 year pandemic that method will be used globally.
My main point is would you prefer being told or advised.

It's looking like the big shut down is coming this weekend for UK - why the delay? part money but they have admitted to wanting 'herd immunity' - I'm no immunologist but the only way you build the right resistance is to have overcome the actual virus or a similar one, apparently it's the same science behind people rejecting organs or skin grafts - twins and family members share actual blood or the same germs so they will have developed immunity to accept or fight off the same stuff, so it's moot how irresponsible the 'herd immunity' management strategy is, some scientists say its totally irresponsible, and they have backtracked, it's difficult but I can't believe public swimming pools are open near to me, and supermarkets are not bagging their bakery goods, may sound petty but when you compare the measures taken in other countries it looks way too lax here - you cannot trust those c*nts in No10 and all the spokes people they've selected or paid off.

I think we should have a Desert Island disc top 5 as we're going to be quarantined. Just to make it fun the 5 songs must be virus related:

1. Fever - Peggy Lee
2. Subterranean Homesick Blues - Bob Dylan
3. Dizzy - Tommy Roe
4. I Can’t Stand Up For Falling Down - Elvis Costello
5. Shaking All Over - Johnny Kidd and the Pirates
