Considering the time frame this virus has been apparent hardly any decent plans have been formulated to contain and control its spread.
News has been circulated regarding areas of concern, yet people are able to travel freely from country to country.
So many UK schools have travelled to these areas of concern and nothing has been put into place to test any return flights?
All we hear is schools closing and more infections around the country.
Our government has no fucking idea what to do.
All they can say 'it's going to spread'.
The real factors that are apparent from Boris the bollock. 'We don't want to spend money. Stay at home and starve if you have symptoms of flu.'
Next thing to happen is Trump pressing the nuke button to stop further spread of the virus...

I wonder if he has been reading the book of Reveleations lately.....

How confident would you be with any plan Boris came up with to tackle the virus?

I don’t listen to politicians...same as I refuse to listen to the arse screamingly hysterical media, and don’t get me started on the ridiculous morons on social media with their wildly over the top ‘we’re all going to die’ nonsense. Yes I have actually seen such ridiculous claims made...’its a bioweapon...conspiracy...yadda yadda’

Give me a break! They say that fear sells...well I’m not buying. I’m not a sheep, I can think for myself.

Perspective and common sense is what I am using here. That’s it. What’s the point in ripping my hair out, grabbing my arse and running around screeching? Achieves nothing.

My Great-Grandparents didn’t run around screeching like hysterical morons when they and those around them were getting hammered by the Luftwaffe every night in Bootle, Liverpool in 1941. Damned if I’m going to.

There’s a good argument for just carrying on as normal and getting the virus sooner rather than later, as it is almost inevitable, and if you get serious complications the NHS won’t be overwhelmed yet.

I’m licking doorknobs in public places.

Shit 3 cases in Bury and Bolton starting to worry when inbreds in bolton are getting it

BBC reporter interviewing shoppers in a supermarket amid stories of panic buying -

"So, are you buying extra supplies because of the Coronavirus?"

"Nope"

"You're not thinking of stocking up in case you need to self-isolate?"

"Nah, we're going to Tenerife next week"
