  Covid-19 (Coronavirus) - Status Update Thread

  by Simon in

  this topic is to focus on status updates & advice (no opinion or politics please).. status.

  latest status is that it's serious, probably isn't going to be contained and most large companies are making contingency plans, cancelling large events etc... which i don't think would happen if it was just people being alarmist.

  the incubation period means it may have already spread further and infected many more people than are currently known, so expect jumps in the numbers over the coming days and weeks.. tracking.

  We are 3 to 4 generations removed from hard times(1929-1945). We live in a hedonistic society in the west. This is why our healthcare is such a shambles. Governments had money to piss away on pet projects in the good times and not invest in needed infrastructure.

  In a democracy our elected officials are a reflection of us. You and I. Did I prepare to not have a pay check for however long this pandemic is when I was buying that big ass flat screen tv? Nope. Just like most everyone else. The good times were never gonna end.

  Does capitalism DEPEND on socialism for its survival?

  by The Fall Guy in

  the banking industry needed the kiss-of-life 12 years ago via tax-payers' money; uk privatised railway companies are totally dependent on tax-payers' cash for survival, and now airlines will be queuing up to receive public money to ensure the survival of their private companies.

  "european aviation faces a precarious future and it is clear that co-ordinated government backing tax-payer's money will be required to ensure the industry survives...” https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-51904769.

  where should the line be drawn?.

  But then they do only print what Castro, sorry, I mean "Trudeau", pays them to.
  

  The resemblance is uncanny

  How Will the Quarantined Dubbies React When the "All Clear" Sounds?

  seriously, i can't help wondering whether their hiatus from meetings and service will alter their post-covid-19 lifestyle once they experience the freedom of life in the absence of the hamster wheel?.

  One problem is the Mormons impose a tithe and JWs rely on people using their donation boxed after they have hinted the whole meeting that you should.
  

  And Mormons have better paying jobs.

    Lets hope other countries will follow the lead of Holland. It looks like the governing body are leaving it to local branches to decide what is possible and what is not regarding meetings and preaching.

    Leaving it to the local elders/branches certainly limits the gubbering body liabilities.

  It appears that all they care about is reporting the attendance of the memorial. They don’t seem to care about 100 plus people touching the same fricking glass of wine and plate of bread.

  You will also need a good semi automatic rifle and at least 1000 rounds of ammo to keep the looters away from your stockpile of toilet paper.
