Comrade Fakename posted:Good plan from America: Tom Cotton is a shiny-eyed psychopath former Army ranger. He lusts to kill foreigners in a way people often attributed to Dubya, but it's actually true here. If he doesn't get the Iran war he's been agitating for since he joined Congress then he's gonna pivot to some China poo poo. Actually, he's probably just gonna use this to push the Iran case even harder

Communist Thoughts posted:do the thing now, christ To be fair, we're proportionately testing more people, and have only just had our first community transmission. There's an argument Scotland is still in the Contain phase than Delay, though banning gatherings etc should still be done for Contain.

Direct from the horse's mouth at 111: "If you've not come into contact with someone with a confirmed case, it's a cold" loving useless. At least post me a swab.

Private Speech posted:Meanwhile the UK, ahh, well. There's not been a No 10 update from the Cobra meeting yet, I'm convinced we're going to be doing some serious closing up after the FTSE closes in 10 mins. Sturgeon has already teased a ban on events of more than 500 people in Scotland, that's basically closing the Tubes

Makes sense to keep panic down and also preserve spaces in hospital for severe and critical cases. It would be nice to know one way or the other - there's a big difference in how work will treat me if I take weeks from home for a confirmed case COVID-19 than if I take weeks from home for what could be me making poo poo up. I also have retired relatives I'd like to visit - am I risking giving them a cold, or am I risking killing them dead? Not to mention from the government's perspective it'd be useful for them to be able to co-ordinate their response if they actually know where the cases of COVID-19 are.

Tesseraction posted:They have a majority then can just vote to abolish elections. The dumb thing is I'm fairly sure there's nothing in British law that would prevent a party doing this if they just refused to honour any of the old informal unwritten rules which can't be enforced because they're informal and unwritten. This is why Boris and Cummings trouble me. The latter at least understands how power works, and we all know the net reaction would be a lot of exasperated graun articles, some twitter outrage and a couple of petitions.

If he doesn't get the Iran war he's been agitating for since he joined Congress then he's gonna pivot to some China poo poo. I think in the event of a US war on China they would very quickly learn that they are woefully unready to engage in a conflict that isn't mostly drone striking hospitals. Seriously, they would lose and lose hard and that would be a good thing

Justin Trudeau just announced he's self-isolating, because his wife has likely symptoms. She just came back from the UK. The entire British ruling class has coronavirus.

China is expanding its influence into Africa, so America will put a stop to that and have it instead. Good luck Africa!

My workplace is kicking off voluntary wfh. Looks like about 2/3rds of people are taking it up. We're pretty well set up in terms of laptops and VPN to access shared resources etc so impact should be reasonably limited. Our clients are all panicking because they are seeing the physical retail numbers start falling through the floor.

The budget was about 'Rising to meet the COVID 19 challenge' and other bullshit, they've set themselves a challenge, are going to fail in a public way which causes unnecessary deaths and we will make they suffer for it. The government won't make it to the next election, it's going down before then.

Someone needs to start a conspiracy theory about this. I'm really on tenterhooks to find out if this is the second worst FTSE day in history, or merely the third. And there's always tomorrow after Boris Bans Borders!

Set up two limited companies. Appoint yourself director and majority shareholder of the first, Gort Holdings. Have Gort Holdings hold all stock for the second company, NotGort Analytical Laboratories. Set up a website for the second company using a free template for a food takeaway site. Pay your second company £50 for a private blood test. Have sex with a pig.
