Would You Be Infected With Covid 19?

Brilliant this.

All those under the age of 30 who've been moaning about this lockdown will be queuing up for it I presume?

They've been wanting this lockdown to end, after all, there's a very small chance that the virus will affect them at all.

Well crack on lads and lasses - see if there's a set of balls in those trousers of yours.

 

Who are all those under 30’s wanting the lockdown lifting? From my experience our age group wanted it implementing earlier and stricter.

 

Quite easy to turn that round and watch the people who are teachers, civil servants and work in other unaffected industries all voluntarily quit their jobs tonight as they've gone to great lengths to ridicule anyone who dares fear for the financial implications of all this. No? No offers?

 

No.

Because they aren't advocating writing off the lives of anyone that's not a certain age.

 

Nobody at all has advocated that. Well sm but nobody else.
Quite a few have advocated writing off the jobs and homes of people not fortunate enough to work in the protected industries though.

One poster said people should quit their jobs rather than return to work.

 

More than S.M have advocated that - a poster on this thread wanted 84 year old Roger from the bowls club being left to die.

Also my initial post says "All those under the age of 30 moaning about it" - it doesn't say "everyone under the age of 30 should be coerced into it".

I do see your point, but I find it abhorrent how people can be so flippant with someone else's life. Yes, those who you've outlined who disregard jobs are also in the wrong too. But you only get one life.

 

Wilko is a tw@t though, his opinion doesn't count.

I think what frustrates me is that I am extremely low risk but when they told us to isolate I did. I stayed in my house and didn't leave it for 3 or 4 weeks. In the entire time since the measures were introduced I've been to a shop twice.
If I can manage to live like this in order to do what is needed then why are so many much much higher risk people going shopping many more times than me and then telling me my job should be sacrificed to save them?
Why don't THEY take some responsibility for their own lives and stay the **** in?

If a 75 year old with dodgy lungs stays in his house for 3 weeks he cannot catch coronavirus.
If he goes shopping every few days and we all do as well he can catch it.

The vulnerable isolating saves their lives regardless of what I do. Me losing my job so they can shop with a lower r number kills thousands of them. They are proven facts.

And it right royally pisses me off that if you dare to say that you are called a disgrace and told you want death. No. I want people to take responsibility for their own lives.

And I understand that not every vulnerable person can isolate alone without care. Which makes me even madder because our government and the greedy care home owners have done nothing at all to give them the safe support they needed. Primarily because their attitude has been everyone is the same. No we aren't and you have to adopt a different approach to different groups

 

To be honest I can't find any fault with that - especially the first line.

I've been really lucky (depending on your point of view) in that I've continued to go to work and do my 37 hours a week, so I guess I'm in no position whatsoever to give advice to those who are bouncing off walls going stir crazy despite being fit as a flea.

My opinion has always been that a period of sacrifice in the short term would help us in the long term. But, I've no idea how long the short term will last or how fcked the long term will be. Maybe I'm a hyproctrical cnt telling people to stay at home when I'm out 7 hours a day, I don't know.

But I just want as little number of people to die as possible - that's my underlying belief.

 

Why not leave old Roger alone. Get back to work. Avoid public transport. Don't travel in rush hour. Stay at home but be alert. Visit parks but with no one you know. Talk to someone elses Dad but not your own unless it's on the phone. We're in this together and we will beat Covid-19.

 

I would sign up in a heart beat, but I would want a decent insurance policy in place to protect my family

 

Which reports were these? My sister in law lives in Spain and she never mentioned it when she phoned me on the 12th. She was a Nursing Sister in the UK and this is the sort of stuff we talk about.

 

Hell no. Why would I wan't to do that I'm old.
