Why is it not the time? A large % of the world's population are praying to something they don't have good evidence for to help them, yet this same deity is the one that knew this would all happen and created the situation for it to happen. You appear to have no answer to that and instead resort to petty insults! If you disagree with me, explain why you disagree and lets actually debate this. Petty insulting isn't the answer when someone has a different view to you. Outline your rebuttal and see if it stands up to scrutiny, then is how we find out if our ideas are valid!

Why don't we have that right? Especially when their views impact on their actions and their actions impact on others. I'm also puzzled how you think what I've said meets a definition of prejudice.

Try having a go at a rebuttal rather than petty insults!

If you believed prayer actually worked... why would you also need to seek medical help?

You get daft people who pray for their children to get better rather than seeking medical help. Prayer has never been shown to work. It creates false hope and should be discouraged in times like these.

False hope is not healthy. It is harmful and can make the situation worse.

There is no sane excuse for a kind and loving God to create a world where this can happen. If God is all knowing then free will cannot by definition exist as by knowing the future he removes free will as he created us under the conditions where he already knows what will happen... thus no free will.

Add pandemics to the duck rape as acts of this 'kind and loving' God

Do you think he is trying to con you to self isolate? For what purpose?

Fraud

I'd rather be marooned at home than here! This is not the flu!

For those comparing it to flu...

Beer

It only takes a relatively small number of morons to panic buy to start with, then the non morons need to an extent panic buy or they won't get anything. It all snowballs!

FM 2020 is free to play until 25th March...

I make lots of attempts at jokes. Not just during pandemics! https://twitter.com/MatthewLeGod

BBC have cancelled filming Casualty, Doctors and Holby City, I guess that makes sense as it’ll free up some doctors and nurses.

It is 500,000 for doing nothing, 250,000 for mitigation and trying to keep it under 20,000 for suppress. Measures to keep it under 20k are now the aim it seems. Do you not think it is ok for the whole population to be restricted to try and keep deaths under 20,000? If they didn't then we'd be back to the 250k or 500k figure. None of these measures are used for seasonal flu because you don't get 500k deaths in the UK, that is why they are needed for this!

If we did nothing the Government believe 500,000 would die in the UK. If every country did that we'd have millions of deaths. The 1918 pandemic infected 500 million of a 1.8 billion global population and killed 50 to 100 million.

The BBC report I link to is quoting Sir Patrick Vallance, the chief scientific adviser to the Government!

Are you an armchair epidemiologist?
