You are over reacting. Why M I being selfish? Because I went to a supermarket? Because I don’t think stockpiling is a good thing? I think you will find that a great many people have been less than impressed with the way that the government have dealt with the situation so far, but just pin it on me eh?

Still looking for a fight? Really, give it a rest. If you weren’t so eager to have an argument you would realise I was saying they have closed their schools and are still operating a health service so to that extent they have coped with closing the schools. How you have turned this into a statement about them coping with the virus only you will know.

Perhaps it is time to stop *****ing at one another. There is a good chance that some of us might not make it through.

I didn’t say it would be easy but as I keep saying, they are managing in other countries.

I don’t think you can make an exception for one club.

Let’s move past the whole Tories thing shall we. God knows we could spend hours talking about how the underfunding has effected the NHS and local social cares ability to deal with this. Irrespective of politics, we are talking now about the people in charge who are making life and death decisions.

My point was Fry that having a go at me because I went out to get food. One bloke. Yet he has no problem with tens of thousands of people crammed together all day, 5 days a week. No, it isn’t easy. But I am sure it isn’t easy around Europe and in New York City either. I am not the only person on the planet asking the question about schools.

Look, I have nothing against schools, but if they are being shut down in order to saves lives elsewhere, it is worth asking the question why aren’t we doing it. Clearly childcare is a problem but a problem that is not impossible to solve elsewhere - so we can manage here. If people start getting sick and dying on an industrial scale, we won’t even think about this exchange.

So how are all the hospitals all round Europe and in NYC operating?

We have a part finished boat in a neighbours garage. I guess it will finally get finished.

Yes, it is inconvenient having to find child care. More so having to be hooked up to a respirator in a hospital corridor (if they can find you one). Even more so being dead. They cope in other countries don’t they?

It seems he is more worried about sorting out childcare.

Weston - how many countries who have closed schools have also closed supermarkets? Why do you think that is. If we don’t eat we will die. I don’t think anyone has died for the lack of a GCSE.

Supermarkets themselves say that if people just buy what they normally buy there would be no problem. If you did a supermarket shop regularly yourself you would now that visit are increasing despite stockpiling. My point was that there is no difference between a full school and a full supermarket. They are both full of humans capable of catching and transmitting the virus. I was responding to the biblically stupid point that it was ok to keep a school open yet it was a problem going to a supermarket full of people. Think about it.

Who exactly is saying shut everything?

And that reason is?

You are only happy when you are slagging someone off.

That’s really scary.

Doesn’t it worry you why so many other countries are doing something different? Voting Tory does not provide immunity against Covid-19.

Not the same as what others across Europe and in parts of America it would appear. Therein lies the problem. Who is right? I guess we will find out when the mortality rates are compared. Let’s hope it is our guy. And at least you won’t be inconvenienced.

Good, then perhaps don’t throw your toys out of the pram when someone goes food shopping, sweetheart.

Just a thought. From memory we didn’t call Cameron David or May Theresa, so why does everybody call Johnson Boris?

So you can have a dig at the government but I can’t?

How do you know it will not make any difference? Why are they doing it in other countries if it is a waste of time? No, I don’t have any confidence in Johnson based on his performance so far - along with Trump. Neither instill confidence as far as I am concerned but if you are fine with that it is your choice. I have no idea if you stock pile or not, but given that you are seemingly not bothered about unnecessary empty shelves, again that is down to you. I am quite happy to stop going to the supermarket, but perhaps you would be kind enough to let me know where I should by our food from. My wife would also like to eat.

I really don’t think that we should be worrying about football, Formula 1 or sport in general. Apart from the mortality rate there is clearly a huge worry about the possible/likely effect on the economy, jobs etc. Airlines are already facing problems with staff maybe having to take 8 weeks unpaid leave. It isn’t going to end there.
