I maybe being naive but haven’t most people caught it before the lockdown? People getting hysterical now exaggerating the risk of spreading when all but a few fools seem to be taking it very seriously. Unless it is airborne for longer than we been told.

Manslaughter? You never used to be this much of a drama queen.

Don’t go there. His pathetic narrow minded prejudice means he dismisses Tacitus and others. The plum probably doesn’t acknowledge Julius Caesar existed as needs ‘contemporary’ evidence. Masters aren’t what they used to be as an embarrassingly limited thinker has somehow acquired one if he is to be believed, Wonder if there is embossed picture of Donald Trump on the certificate?

The Gentlemen is superb. That’s if you liked Lock Stock and aren’t stuffy about Guy Richie. Hugh Grant is hilarious

It’s maths

Why do so few media ever use per capita stats for the deaths? Seems very little in-depth analysis of the numbers generally in breaking them down

Indeed and frustrating that none of our politicians can be themselves with the honestly to admit fck ups - think people would respect the honestly more than taking us for idiots. Most understand that this isn’t a simple situation. Even when they do admits mistakes it will be rehearsed lines so no apparent sincerity.

Using an extreme. Yes ISIS are probably not a great example of tolerance. There is a lot of kindness and generosity borne from religious beliefs whatever people may disagree about motives. I maybe unfairly am bracketing you with the humanist campus nuts who can’t handle hearing Jordan Peterson and others inflict their micro aggressions - this basically appears to be someone who may have a different world view. They are the sort of people whose tolerance worries me far more than those who may believe in religious fairly tales.

Kinda fatuous reply but what I have come to expect.

Your definition of lack of tolerance is it?

Take heed Weston when you are slagging off pensioners.

https://apple.news/AC-vvcf7VR_OAG15UIJPWpQ Like any self respecting dictator would. Delete a few zeros from the death count while you’re there.

If you don’t get it I don’t think any explanation will help

Do read this thread. Rabid atheists are anything but tolerant

Is there a huge assumption being made that MLG is going to have sex?[emoji3]

You are talking Stasi levels of resources to reference back to who is who - you will also have the FOI to deal with. Impossible is this country also given how many elderly people won’t necessarily have smartphones. Plus the GDPR consequences as we haven’t quite moved to police state yet.

You think they will collate that data?! Differentiate between key worker, those exercising, those responding to community needs supporting the vulnerable? Not a chance

Over 70s can exercise. You find it odd and makes you mad is because you pretty much struggle to grasp things. Do you think my behaviour would completely change if I saw a chart saying some might get preferential treatment over handsome, tall, intelligent, charismatic people -that’s me btw :-)

Exactly. Saying do not go to pub but allowing pubs to stay open was not much of a strategy. Don’t go to pub and mix but allow 60;000 racegoers to mix was mental. Understand the drip fed message to make us all ‘get it’ gradually rather than brutal WTF is happening and why bringing potential rebellion. But hey hindsight is a wonderful thing,

Thanks for explaining something so complex. Too much sanctimony and not enough understanding of human psychology and empathy,

Ok keeping with your analogy, if govt tell you you have have no alternative but to drive at 130mph every day otherwise you will lose your job but on Sundays stick to 60mph because anything faster is very dangerous and we don’t want anyone to be dangerous you’d suck it up?

I am not condoning just saying catching tube makes mockery of other precautions- I’d sh1t myself if it was me

TBF if I lived in London in a pokey flat and had to catch a crowded Tube every day and go to work, I have some sympathy for wanting to walk round Richmond Park on a day off thinking this is still a day I am less likely to catch or spread the virus.

Would you like them to tell you it’s all ok? That was response to Dave F but seems to have quoted LD

I just wish the politicians could just be themselves but can see such lack of talent amongst so many they have no confidence to answer just desperate to remember their lines to recite. Depressing. Yeah we get it isn’t your fault and isn’t a political issue but would have faith if there was some honest opinions not just trotted our lines. Remember to say ‘unprecedented’ and ‘global’
