pesky1972 4,926 Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 Shit’s getting real now, and going to get much worse in the next few weeks. In light of the recent panic buying, UK supermarkets have introduced the following purchase limits. Asda: 2 hand sanitisers, 24 toilet rolls max. Tesco: 1 Hand sanitiser, 18 toilet rolls & 2kg rice. Co-op: 12 rolls toilet paper, 1Kg rice. Aldi: 2 Trumpets, 1 diving suit & a MIG welder 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, because people are going to die and everyone is already absolutely shitting it so when those people do start dying the electorate will be screaming why the government hasn’t done anything to stop it. Now they can say they took reasonable measures mitigating the backlash. Im not really convinced the machine has slowed dramatically at all either. Not being funny mate but it’s not like the government are privy to data the we aren’t. COVID19 isn’t something to be ignored but it’ll blow over and we’ll all just crack on like normal. As I said, maybe I’m wrong. Check me in six months if so. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can’t help but feel this is a massive smack on the arse for globalists Yes, I have always said mother nature will reset the balance again, and we, the human race will be cut down to a tiny fraction of what we are. More than likely we won't see much change in our life time, but it's going to happen. The last ice age didn't happen because of pollution, it's a natural cycle of the planet, but in this case we the humans have speeded up the process, by polluting and raping the plant for her natural resources. There's only so much she can and will take before she hits back. I hope I'm around to see it happen. Atb j 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jetro 5,349 Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 JUST TO KEEP YOUR HOPES UP: I live in Jilin Province in China. About the same size as Ireland but with a population of 23 million people. This time last month, February 12th, we had 93 cases. One elderly man died, 91 have recovered and now we only have one case being treated in a hospital. The lockdown for me personally was: Just going out to a public place if really needed. (Like local supermarket) Wearing a facemask and gloves when in an indoor public place. (I just used normal woolly winter gloves) Washing hands immediately after being outside. (Just normal soap and water. I haven't bought any sanitizer since the lockdown) Nobody over here stock piled anything. I don't even understand why this has become a thing. We didn't run out if anything in the shops. (You really are just washing your hands like you normally would) Temperature checks are done by staff before entering any indoor public places, like malls, shops, restaurants. (Some took your number, to contact you if anyone that had been there tests positive and you can self isolate at home.) Staying in most of the time. It's boring for sure. But probably the fastest way to beat this thing and have it over with, is to avoid public places, especially indoors, unless really needed. That's about it. I've never felt the need to panic. Binge watch your TV shows. Start trying different dishes to cook. Start a little project for yourself at home. Use this time at home to do something you wouldn't normally have time for. They've said, as of now, 2 weeks lockdown in Ireland. Don't fight it, there is nothing to be fighting about. The more you ignore it, the longer it will take to stop spreading. In turn, lengthening the lockdown. So just follow what is being said from the reputable sources, be smart, DON'T PANIC and it will be gone in no time. Stay safe Ireland! 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
