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.

Before another smarta5se has a dig, schools are being closed around the world. As far as I am aware, food shops are not.

Is it my call then?

I am not hysterical. I just find it puzzling why someone should get worked up about going to a supermarket yet is happy for schools to stay open. If food shops close, how are we supposed to eat?

Plenty.

You really are an angry person aren’t you. You get yourself worked up about a full supermarket but are happy that your kids are going to a full school? Can you see the inconsistency there? Let’s hope that before the schools close your kids don’t infect you or anybody else eh. By the way, where did I say that I am complaining about the supermarket? Yes, I would like to be able to buy loo rolls. Dont you use them or have you already stockpiled? Yes, I would like to buy hand sanitiser so that I am less likely to pass anything on to anybody else. No I am not the only person who thinks that panic buying is unnecessary and a nuisance. But knock yourself out and keep having a dig if it makes you feel better. It’s a shame that you haven’t got an email address for all of the other people in supermarkets today. You could have a field day.
