Main Coronavirus / Covid-19 Discussion Thread

[CHAPPERS]

To be fair, corona virus cant be transmitted through the skin, only through the mouth or nose. If he washed his hands before touching his face there shouldn't be a problem, unless someone coughed directy into his face, when there would be. Surprised he didnt fist or elbow bump instead though.

To be fair he's a ****ing doughnut in a position of responsibility and he couldn't hold it together for more than 30 seconds before blurting out that he's shaking hands with everybody, including coronavirus patients. He didn't need to say that at all but he just can't help himself.

Textbook Johnson.

There was one point in the Q&A when BJ huffed and puffed in his usual way and finally said something along the lines of "The answer to your question is 'yes' tho I fear I may have forgotten the question"

In all seriousness, you need to get a grip.

Either 'Solid at the Back' is a serial panicker(he has previous) or he is a piss-taker.
Not quite sure which!

This. Tho wallah's prob down at Lidl STOCKPILING foodstuffs even as we speak

Doubt they'll find anti bac hand sanitizer, seen the small 50mm Cien Lidl brand one that costs about 79p being flogged on eBay for £9 lots of people clearing shelves and trying to profit.

It's. A. Form. Of. Flu. FFS.

Wash yer hands. You'll be fine

The most virulent symptom of this outbreak is the media feeding frenzy which is amplifying the thing out of all proportion

For some of us it is not a form of flu. Because some of us can get vaccinated against most forms of flu.
But none of us can get vaccinated against this form of flu.
So some of us may be fecked by this form of flu
FFS

BBC News currently amplifying the concept of Panic Buying of food, which probably wouldn't have occurred to the huge majority of people until BBC News put it out there. Sake!

Crazy. Media imbeciles


Apparently the Pope is ill
We’re all buggered if he’s got it [emoji2]

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

I know, that’s why I’m going to reboot ours. Do you think the gas can go off? I’m working on the basis that if I revert to 1986 I can’t catch any of these modern ailments.

I’m just about to light up a hamlet cigar... actually this whole situation would work well in one of their ads...

Pint of Strongbow too hmmmmm.

Strongbow my arse.....

This is 80s...

The media are really ****ing me off.

They’re desperate for this to bring everything down, desperate. Reporting a fact in one location, doesn’t make the whole country guilty of hysteria... I have faith the stout Northumbrians will refrain from being total dick heads.

Alnwick shall not fall!

The flu vaccine changes every year. It is adapted to the latest viruses which have been detected as viruses mutate, so therefore the vaccine I had in October was for last year's strains.


Trump is an idiot.

Just waiting for Paul Barber to warn that theyre worried there may not be any merchandise left in the club shop soon due to coronavirus affecting Chinese supply chains.

because is not flu. coronavirus not the same as influenza. there are some drugs that can help, usually given for HIV (they act against viruses in general) but otherwise there's no specific vaccine.

I still can’t work out how it has happened that the USA and UK have voted into power, two of the biggest and most utterly useless individuals possible?

Is that a serious question?

(I mean the second bit).

Trump is an idiot.

He's got no editing skills, no common sense, no real sense of reality, just an ego maniac winging his way as leader of the free world.

He's clearly got no grasp on the situation at all. Terrifying really that a world leader at this stage of a crisis can be asking if a standard flu vaccine could be used. It beggars belief. It's beyond satire because it's satirical in itself. Iannucci is out of a job.

Irony is lost on some. Thought the !! Might give it away

Of course it's not a serious question. Every regular nobody on this forum knows it's a ridiculous notion. It's laughable the world's most powerful leader who is as thick as pig shit doesn't.
