"Stay safe"
...especially when my job means I can't.

"Stay home".

It's stay AT home.

The phrase itself irritates me, plus I never want to have to stay AT home again.

"Now is not the time to ask .."

Stay the fuck home. Don't know why it annoys me so much.

"Am I allowed ?"

TheCanterburyWhales · 13/04/2020 09:54

Scaremongering

Because it's only ever said by people denying there's a bit of a problem.

X number of people would die anyway

Because it's only ever said in relation to the elderly who, on MN generally, seem expendable

There are many multi-generational households in Italy which is why their figures are so high.

Just over 1%. Exactly the same as the UK.

Social distancing - sounds like a phrase from a horror film about a religious sect

Stay home - “stay at home”.

Even just “stay home” after everything that is said. “Here is a nice recipe for brownies. Oh but stay home”

But most of all, I loathe the Stay Home Police on FB

Any Joe Bloggs pontificating like they are the world expert on infectious diseases and if only we'd listened to them from the start.

Get back to being the world's leading armchair expert on Brexit instead please.

Or preferably just shut the fuck up altogether.

It’s normal for now though isn’t it? Even after lockdown we’ll still have to use social distancing measures till they find a vaccine.

tootiredtoconga · 13/04/2020 09:59

"we all need to make sacrifices"
"we all need to do our bit"

Frequently used by people whose only sacrifices to date have involved queueing for for a bit longer than usual in Waitrose.
