You do know there are a lot of stupid people about?

Rosehip10 · 18/03/2020 10:07

Yep - so the Government will have to be much firmer.

And what do you propose they do? Have police / army in the streets rounding people up? And if they don't then go home? Arrest them? Where are we going to lock all these people up?

Ventilatorshortage · 18/03/2020 10:14

Sam yes, that's exactly what we will have to have unfortunately.

They will fine people and in other countries you can get manslaughter charges if you try and go out ill.

HairyFloppins · 18/03/2020 10:16

The only way to stop the spread of this virus is to get people indoors. This needs to be done soon and I hope it does.

Anyone not obeying should be prosecuted.

lubeybooby · 18/03/2020 10:17

Sam, yes actually. it's what they have done in Italy and we are 1.6 weeks behind them in terms of death rate.

lubeybooby · 18/03/2020 10:18

and it's fines of 2000 euros rather than locking them up

excitedmumtobe87 · 18/03/2020 10:19

@SamSeabornforPresident Unfortunately that probably is what we will have to do. It’s what other countries are doing. I’m a bit of a hippy who’s usually against such measures but in this instance I realise It’s necessary

Connie222 · 18/03/2020 10:21

A lot of people are fucking idiots.

Rosehip10 · 18/03/2020 10:22

Are you being deliberately obtuse? Hmm. Closing pubs/bars would have avoided this particular instance rather than idiotic advice "Don't go to pubs please"......

People are idiots. Since the school closed here, my job is layed off, I haven't went out much as social gathering are shut down.
DP is working they are out the door with people shopping, for electronics not food.
Teenage groups hanging around shopping centres as off school.
We'll have to follow Italy's police army run lock down. It's crazy but not forever.

NanSlayer · 18/03/2020 10:25

Play stupid games win stupid prizes, hopefully this virus culls the stupid people first and not the innocent.

I think this virus is effecting people like the rabies virus because people are acting impulsively and aggressively like rabid animals

tellmewhentheLangshiplandscoz · 18/03/2020 10:27

I'll also judge idiots like this for the fact that any who were injured/hurt may have taken up the the time of emergency services. And potentially exposed them to the virus just so they could get pissed.

Utterly selfish twats Confused

EmeraldShamrock · 18/03/2020 10:29

I just saw the video. IGNORANT FUCKING TWATS. Angry

Rosehip10 · 18/03/2020 10:33

It was videos like this from Dublin couple of weeks back that quickly involved the Irish gov closing pubs.

The police and army are on the streets in my MIL's country in Europe, yes, they issue fines, have a word with people out for no reason, everyone is on lockdown and that's that! Allowed out for food shopping and to go to work and you have to prove with evidence that's where you are going. This is not Italy by the way.

Mrskeats · 18/03/2020 10:36

My daughter is a student stuck in her uni flat in Liverpool and she could not believe all the noise of large groups in the streets.
Pubs etc need to be closed now.

UYScuti · 18/03/2020 10:49

Ahhh scousers, gawd bless 'em 🙈😳

Rosehip10 · 18/03/2020 12:45

Also do the police really need to be dealing with pissed up crowds and Fri/Sat night drinking at the moment.

Idiots and what makes it worse is that the DJ in that particular establishment seems to be leading the chorus on a microphone

Ihatemyseleffordoingthis · 18/03/2020 12:50

Absolute fuckwits

The drinkers and our govt

(that, by the way though, is a quiet night for concert square, aka 9th circle of hell).

HoldMyLobster · 18/03/2020 12:53

In my nearest city they foresaw this and kept all pubs and clubs closed all day and night yesterday.

This coronavirus is an endless story of the UK realising stuff about a week after everyone else does.

GirlCalledJames · 18/03/2020 12:55

Of course the police and military will be on the streets immediately making examples of people by fining them. When governments declare a state of emergency, the rules change pretty quickly.
