As for hoping for as low a death toll as possible, then yes, I’m guilty as charged. It’s the folk that are hoping for a higher death toll and who are gleefully posting about the numbers of who have died that is worrying. Indeed. For every "yin" there's a "yang". There are as many people who can't wait to post on here just how many people have died or are going to die, as there are understating its effects. Far better to study the figures, remain calm and take the pish out of posters who seem to have become "experts" in the field of epidemiology in the past few weeks.

Hiram Abiff Posted March 28, 2020 Report Share Posted March 28, 2020 No lockdown in Sweden so far, although that may change soon due to pressure.Bars and restaurants open and the Swedish government bringing in measures to protect the vulnerable whilst trusting the people to act responsibly.Similar stats per capita as Denmark so far.Their government will no doubt cave into the pressure to lockdown soon. Politicians will be scared of the backlash if they are proved wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe this time slot is for NHS workers? Morrisons have introduced an NHS hour from 7am-8am Monday-Saturday All colleagues with an NHS badge will be able to get into the store to stock up on the products they need.

If that's the case surely Morrisons' staff would have said something like "That's a warrant card, not an NHS badge. That proves you work for the police service, not the NHS. Please join the queue with all the other people. Thank you."? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But apparently AyrshireSaint was then given the impression, perhaps mistakenly, that the store was opened exclusively for emergency service staff and his wife found her warrant card. If I was a member of staff and someone presented me with a warrant card in such circumstances, I would correct them and invite them to join the queue.

FTOF Posted March 28, 2020 Report Share Posted March 28, 2020 Another factor that people seem to be ignoring/forgetting is an individual's genetics. It's quite obvious that this is at play, given the variability in severity of symptoms even within specific age groups, never mind between different ethnic groups. It may turn out that those of Mediterranean descent are more susceptible to the virus than, for example, those of us of Celtic descent. Should make for an interesting genome sequencing study in the future. Also, I've read a couple of reports highlighting the fact that some younger unfortunate individuals have sadly died, despite having no "underlying health issues". Maybe it was down to a genetic fault that hasn't ever shown up before, like an over reaction by their immune system specifically to this virus, which seems to be a main factor with fatalities in this current pandemic. Also, I'm sure that in normal circumstances, their are individuals who die from other strains of flu, who have "no underlying health issues". It would be interesting to see those statistics. As I said earlier, I'm not into overstating or understating the effects of the virus, just speculating and making some observations related to Biology.

Hiram Abiff Posted March 28, 2020 Report Share Posted March 28, 2020 IF? [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] Why are you putting the responsibility onto the staff? [emoji848] Looking at Morrison’s own website it says that they have a shopping hour from 7am to 8am for people with an NHS card Not only does it appear that Ayrshire Saint endangered lives by doubling up on an unnecessary shopping trip and jumped the queue, even more worryingly, it appears that his wife, a serving police officer, used her warrant card to jump the queue as well.

[emoji107]As I said earlier in this thread, the ones who are shouting loudest for everyone else to be locked appear to be be happy going around doing whatever they want [emoji35] In the midst of this fascist police state it is indeed worrying that serving police officers and their partners are using their position to put lives at risk and jump supermarket queues.
