Jambo-Jimbo Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Were saying on the news that the rate of infections in Singapore is the highest daily rate yet, 54 in the last 24 hrs, Hong Kong had 38 new infections and China had an increase of 39 and 9 new deaths, South Korea 64 and 7 deaths. After early hope's that Singapore/Hong Kong et al had got this virus under control, infection rates have been climbing over the last few days, perhaps it's a second wave.

What part of dont go outside or have people around do people not understand? If you went socialising with anyone that isn't a member of your household this weekend then I'm afraid you are to blame for what is about to come. Selfish idiots, I only hope it is them that feels the pain and not some poor bugger that has tried to follow the rules and gets caught up in other people's reckless behaviour. If you have ignored the advice don't blame the government when you are left gasping for air in the hospital carpark. in the last 24hours or so iv seen 3 people I know post pics of them and their partner with “self isolating” on it then pics of them out for food then at parties. Parties where you can see the age range is 16-80 , ****ing idiots... Two of them are fairly intelligent , ones a socialite twat whos only worried about her wedding and seshing.

Hearts5140 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Need some advice. Started working a few weeks ago in a warehouse packing food orders for old people. It's all processed stuff. Their approach to CV19 I think is negligent. Working in aisles, no distancing, equipment not being wiped down etc I don't want to go to the bosses as they're pretty aggressive when challenged. Who can I speak to? I thought about the local MP but they are asking for name and address etc. If I do that I'm finished and we need the money. MP will only act if the issue is raised by someone in heir constituency Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sadj Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 3 hours ago, hughesie27 said: The part where that's not Governement advice. Folk moan about all those parked cars beside beaches etc over the weekend. The government have said as recently as Boris at 5pm yesterday that they are happy for people to go out and go for walks as long as they follow social distancing rules. A family driving to a beach for a nice walk on Mothers day is 't a mass organised event. The folk there never called each other up and arranged a beach party. Provided those folk there exercised good social distancing then whats the problem? Even if they all went to theirs cars at the same time and left together they would probably all be at least 2 meters apart. I'm not daft, clearly what we seen over the weekend isn't ideal and it would be silly to assume everyone was 2 meters apart, but when the gov guidance is that kts okay to go out for some fresh air then what do they expect? They are leaving it up to the park owners and local councils to decide when too many people is too much. No guidance. The only thing that will.stop this properly is a Lockdown which I think should happen, but I'm not going to have a go at people following the current Gov guidelines. People moaning about those turning up for trains in London. Daft as well, they need to get to work somehow! Iv been taking my dog out but wont let her iff her leash unless there is nobody around. If i see anyone im ensuring im far more than 2m apart. I know that may sound hypocritical when talking about idiots all over social media having parties but for now I feel that is safe if done that way. Common sense says if there a lot of people about don’t go. Think someone said they drove past the Kelpies and it was packed with visitors. 🤪 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
