Brexit post virus?

[Borchester]

A Govan Doctor can't find a job in a Hospital in Edinburgh, so he opens a clinic and puts a sign outside 'GET TREATMENT FOR £20 - IF NOT CURED GET BACK £100.'



An Edinburgh lawyer thinks this is a great opportunity to earn £100 and goes to the clinic.



Lawyer: "I have lost my sense of taste."



Govan doctor: "Nurse, bring medicine from box No. 22 and put 3 drops in patient's mouth."



Lawyer: "Ugh. this is kerosene."



Govan doctor: "Congrats, your sense of taste is restored. Give me £20."



The annoyed lawyer goes back after a few days to recover his money.



Lawyer: "I have lost my memory. I cannot remember anything."



Govan doctor: "Nurse, bring medicine from box no. 22 and put 3 drops in his mouth."



Lawyer (annoyed): "This is kerosene. You gave this to me last time for restoring my taste."



Govan doctor: "Congrats. You got your memory back. Give me £20."



The fuming lawyer pays him, and then comes back a week later determined to get back £100.



Lawyer: "My eyesight has become very weak I can't see at all."



Govan doctor: "Well, I don't have any medicine for that, so take this £100."



Lawyer (staring at the note): "But this is £20, not £100!!"



Govan doctor: "Congrats, your eyesight is restored. Give me £20"



You can't beat govan Doctors

All true. Nice one Tommy.



I like the bit about the milk for the tea. I can put up with most things, largely because most things usually sort themselves out. But I was glad to see that there was plenty of single cream on the supermarket shelves. I feel that we should show a certain level of resolution in the face of this current keffule, but when we run out of coffee and creme and biscotti I reckon that a line will have been crossed.

well borkie , i was pished in the indian last night , and the waiter came over and said curryokay?



A said alright , wan song then pissoff. :roll:  ::

[Borchester]

I have family and friends from wick and angus  , down through the central belt to ayrshire. I have family friends in England  , from north west to south east , France , northern ireland and america.



We are all connected on facebook and in regular contact , and everyone everywhere seems to be in the same boat , with the same idiots and drama queens stirring the pot and the same panic buying.



So what is actually happening in the supermarkets?



Well the wife went shopping yesterday morning , got some stuff for elderly neighbours and friends as well as us.



The "hysteria" fanned by the likes of quackers and many of the leftie liberal snowflakes over the last week or so here with the sole intent of making political capital out of corona virus to try and damage johnson and the uk gov , sturgeon and the scotgov , as well as general flappers ands attention seekers , has left quackers and others without a pint of milk for their tea.



Whilst we were hearing "dramatic " reports of supermarkets shelves being empty , the wife reported yesterday in our area one of the big three supermarkets , who hadnt been enforcing restrictions ,  were indeed low or empty on certain items. She went onto other smaller supermarkets , who were enforcing , and got everything needed , with the worst thing being we couldnt get certain brands we normally get , but got substitute brands instead.



Family and friends as far afield as america and france  , as well as across these islands reporting the same thing.



So while certain things are indeed hard to get , the problems being reported at supermarkets are far less than hysterical rumours make them.



just about sums up the whole episode so far.



Have great sympathy for sampan , just as i have great sympathy for many of the oldies.



Funny  , someone said to me on arsebook only yesterday the same arseholes who were lecturing us all to be kind to others via facebook memes in january are the same ones on my timeline screaming we are all going to die and its everyman for themselves in march.



Life sure comes at certain people fast and their empty snowflake morals get dropped like a hot potato when it suits.

Well of course we are,sooner or later you get to a stage in life where you accept that though I must admit I'm feeling it more than usual.

And of course there's nothing wrong with being kind to others as you have getting stuff in for elderly neighbours.



However from where I stand there's no point either in pretending none of this is happening (and no that isn't aimed at anyone in particular) we are in a bind but I believe we will come out the other side perhaps better for it though considering  how short peoples memories are perhaps not.

A few of us may disappear before our allotted time but that's life,or death in this case......minimising the risks though is sensible.

Bloody Chinese

The last time it happened it was immigrant crop pickers.

[Thomas]

There's not too much hysteria around here. A couple of empty supermarket shelves, but still plenty to eat, perhaps not a first choice, but we are not onto bat soup or leg of civet cat yet.

Some scabby bastards in Helston stole the contents of the food bank collection box from the T-esco supermarket.

Remember this?



You don't have a very good track record on this so far. Perhaps your judgement is a bit skewed by your love of China.

The hysteria is utterly ridiculous.

Remember this?

So a few hundred infections, over several months from a city of 11 million plus a handful of infections in other cities and countries outside of China and somehow this is the biggest current threat to civilisation?



This is hardly raging through the populace like wildfire is it and the reason some of the handful of deaths were missed is because they were originally recorded as being among the many thousands that die each year of flu based pneumonia, just like they do in this country.



The reporting of this has left me wondering wtf most of these Journos are on? Would we describe things in exactly the same way if the cluster had started in Birmingham. The fact that people travel to and from Wuhan from other cities and other countries should hardly be a matter of reporting. Using Birmingham as an example again, it would be as ridiculous as expressing surprise of other cases being reported in London and Manchester.



I bet there are more people with Norovirus in the UK today than cases of this Coronavirus in China

You don't have a very good track record on this so far. Perhaps your judgement is a bit skewed by your love of China.

[Sampanviking]

Would this be the same as the hysteria in China when they went in to lockdown and you were saying how well they handled t?

Different situation Cromwell

China is the believed initial outbreak point and so a drastic lockdown to contain it Ebola wise, made a lot of sense.

Clearly however it did not work and the virus is pandemic . Locking down now can only drag the process out not make any noticeable difference to the ultimate outcome.

[cromwell]

The hysteria is utterly ridiculous.

I am effectively a self employed commission only salesman and my main concern is that if I get sick I am unable to work and earn.

The policy we are likely to having imposed on u,s gives me all the down side without any benefit.

The thought of sitting at home perfectly well and unable to operate has me fuming. I might as well just catch the fecking thing as at least I can gt it over and done with, and have acquired immunity.

As it is I can see myself losing weeks only to go out and catch it a little later and lose more weeks all over again!

Would this be the same as the hysteria in China when they went in to lockdown and you were saying how well they handled t?

[Sampanviking]

I give up with this argument. I posted what I thought was a very fair and balanced response to Toots article, which didn't deny or downplay any of the risks or the potential suffering. She didn't even reply and you are now saying you want it "handled properly", as if I don't. What I've said from the start is we need facts, not drama in the media driving political decisions, because that is what is happening. Its unreasonable to expect any country (Germany, Italy the UK or anyone else) to have enough Intensive Care beds available and on hand for a pandemic on this scale because its a once in a life time event.



I feel for the Government because they are in a no win situation now. Whatever they do, the Smurfs of this world are waiting to shoot them down, while playing to the baying crowd may make them slightly more popular but will risk the countries economic future disappearing down the pan in short order. I feel, sadly, that its already too late to stop that, because as in Germany, Italy, Spain and everywhere else, we will probably be in lockdown ourselves within the next 10 days. Whatever the (so far unproved) arguments for complete lockdown are and whether it will result in saved lives in the absence of IC places, it will have dire economic consequences for millions down the line, as Thomas has illustrated.



There are still no factual arguments coming up on this thread, just news articles offering some doctor or nurses experience of "world war 2" like conditions, second hand repetitions of people dying in corridors and political swipes at a cornered government. I've had enough.



I'm out of this, I'll leave you to it.
