Nothing has changed there in that case
OUCH!Based on your avatar I reckon they saw you as one of their own.
You make some interesting points John, but as you say, semantics ...Richard..what on Earth is IMNVHO..?... Ok..got it..lol. I would never describe any opinion of yours as humble even less so ‘very humble’
It’s really having a discussion involving semantics.

. I rest my case..
. We would have to first define our terms and we would be off-topic for this thread, though at times it has been “batty” .
I am sure some countries have much worse on a dusty military shelf somewhere.
Here in France they've put the taxis at the disposal of health workers....all other potential customers have evaporated.
That don't look so clever now.
Good idea.
I disagree, we have just over 100 dead in the UK, all had underlying health issues, there is still very little chance, probably 2% of those testing positive dieing prematurely, and nearly all of them so far having other medical problems. I agree the numbers by all accounts are going to go up massively but even if we have 250,000 deaths it's still a small percentage of the UK population and will affect those in the "at risk" group, anyone reasonably fit and healthy should come through this as far as their own health is concerned without major effect.
In theory, anyone who is infected will have the symptoms or be suffering by the end of the isolation period and so that bunch will continue in isolation and the rest will be in the clear and able to resume normality.
Just looking at a webcam in Rome, and one Police car left a square, and another came in from a different direction. And there is a soldier stationed in the square.If they go this far in the UK, then there won't be enough Police to enforce anything.
As a kid I remember queuing with Mum and Dad for ages to get our smallpox injections. Big scare as I remember it. I was only young though.
Heres hoping.
That would contravene the Geneva Protocol whereas flogging pangolin butties doesn't
How do I report a post? And Im not talking about the above, Im talking about the response I want to write. But actually I won't write it, best to end with an empty platitude to excuse the potential death of your parents / friends/ sister / brother. Now what would allow me to do that? Oh yes, but "any deaths due to this are tragic"
Fortunately and unfortunately, some infected people have no symptoms at all.
Especially if you are G o d and, according to popular accounts, are rather keen on plagues, floods etc

This is a really daft post (I’m being polite), I suggest you re-read it and consider deleting it
I agree Asha.....I suspect that 15 days was chosen as maximum term that could be tolerated in the initial announcement and an extension is inevitable (at least for the serious risk categories)
Well that is fairly unsympathetic 250000 May be a small percentage but it's a lot of people isn't that roughly 4%? So maybe 1 in every extended family or 1 at the place you work. It's not only "at risk " that die either. Also 2% of those being tested, do you know anyone being tested that is not in hospital? It's not happening, latest figures were 800 per 1000000 million being tested. The number of deaths may only be 104 but 30% of those were yesterday.
Maybe you need to reread those responses and reflect on what they may be communicating?
