Tommy Posted March 23, 2020 Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 Went to Morrison at around 9am today and it was quite. Still no lavvy paper and Pasta plus a lack of frozen chips, but apart from that I didn't noticed any real problems. My appointment for a new ear mould on Thursday been cancelled at Renfrew health centre and I expect my dentist to cancelled my appointment with her next month. Now I know what Bill Murray felt like in the film Grounghog Day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the products I would buy have changed pack size or are being offered with different brand names. I don't pick up my order till Thursday so there maybe changes online before then but I can't get eggs or butter right now. There were plenty of eggs and butter this morning if I wanted them. Just your luck depending on what shop you go into to. Small shops tend to be coping better I have found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Refused to take my 2.35 in real money. All coins and the correct amount. Usually we disagree on a lot but I think you've got a point Shull. Not saying that the virus itself is a conspiracy, but the "solution" to the "problem" is often detrimental to the public, vs. those in positions of power. I do think that this will lead to a drive towards a cashless society - perhaps even a universal basic income. Also noticed that some governments are looking at installing thermal CCTV systems that can measure body temperature - coupled with legislation allowing them to arrest people "showing symptoms". Would be very easy to profile your location & communication history via your mobile phone, along with this potentially increased amount of biometric data that they would have access to.

FTOF Posted March 23, 2020 Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 8 minutes ago, Doakes said: that's rather worrying It also means that if you do get infected you've got a 50/50 chance of showing symptoms. I.e. getting ill. If you do have symptoms then you might only have mild symptoms. Would be interesting to see an age breakdown of who is asymptomatic and who isn't. However, as you say it's worrying regarding potential transmission and spreading of the virus. Although if you're asymptomatic you won't be coughing your germs everywhere, which appears to be the main method of transmission. Personal hygiene would seem to be even more important now in preventing spreading the virus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was in Rimini last summer and they had a lot of outdoor gyms, they also sweat like f**k and touch each other a lot more than we do while talking - could explain why transmission is so high in that region?

Even left-wing journalists?! LOL It's estimated communist states murdered 100 million people last century, and North Korea is probably the most totalitarian regime on earth, with grandchildren being detained in camps due to the activities of their grandparents. Stalin, Pol Pot, Mugabe and Mau's states were pretty nasty too. Even Castro wasn't a cuddly, benevolent type. I'd say contemporary 'left-wingers' are probably the most puritanical and despotic ideologues in modern politics, with their attempts to criminalise hurting people's feelings....

None of them could be described as left-wing. As you quite rightly point out, they are/were totalitarian, a completely different beast.

As you quite rightly point out, they are/were totalitarian, a completely different beast. What are you talking about?! All of them are 'left-wing', if you subscribe to the left/right dichotomy. You cannot get more left than Communismand the abolition of private property where everything is collectively owned by the people and distributed by the state. "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs." By their very nature command economies are totalitarian - the means of production and property is controlled and distributed by the state, equitably, rather than in the hands of private individuals. The state, or rather the Communist Party, is your employer, your landlord, your trade union and operates all the shops and services as well as the army and the police. Absolute power corrupts of course, and scapegoats are found when nothing works. Saboteurs or 'wreckers' are blamed for everything. I think Pol Pot was the biggest maddie of them all to be honest. He was a Marxist-Leninist: Quote In May 1973, Pol Pot ordered the collectivisation of villages in the territory it controlled.[186] This move was both ideological, in that it was seen as helping to build a socialist society free from private property, and pragmatic, in that it allowed the Khmer Rouge greater control over the food supply, ensuring that farmers did not sell their produce to government forces.[187] Many villagers resented the collectivisation and slaughtered their livestock to prevent it becoming collective property.[188] Over the following six months, approximately 60,000 Cambodians fled from areas under Khmer Rouge control.[187] The Khmer Rouge introduced conscription to bolster its forces.[189] Relations between the Khmer Rouge and the North Vietnamese remained strained. After the latter temporarily reduced the flow of arms to the Khmer Rouge, in July 1973 the CPK Central Committee agreed that the North Vietnamese should be considered "a friend with a conflict".[190] Pol Pot ordered the internment of many of the Khmer Rouge who had spent time in North Vietnam, and who were considered too sympathetic to them. Most of these were later executed.[191] Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pol_Pot He was, of course, an absolute monster: I'm not sure why so many people believe 'left-wing' is synonymous with 'good'.
