I am sad about all of this. I would just like a win, and it feels like people who are older and more comfortable just don't want to hear about anything which makes them feel bad/ asks them to change. It's sad and it feels like there is nothing I can do.

NotJustANumber99 posted:I think this is pretty accurate. Like Biden got smashed by the under thirties or whatever the demographic is but the last thing people want is a bunch of snot nosed kids telling them they've been doing it all wrong all this time. If Bernie was less popular with young voters it might actually serve him better overall, as it is Biden seems to have provided an easy out for people. I don't get this. Why don't older people ever seem to want to change/ improve? If someone was telling me something was wrong I would at least listen.

baka kaba posted:So there's a lot of cognitive dissonance there and the easy out is to just smile and say nope, it's all good, lazy millennials it's their own fault etc. Someone was posting in the Super Tuesday thread about this idea that when someone promises young people the electoral opportunity to change things and make their lives better, their parents and grandparents will turn out in force to crush them. And I think there's something to that, there's an forceful reaction that happens when a narrative starts to get traction, and it's not just about fighting for a particular political ideology - it's a response to a changing world too, people fighting to keep themselves at the centre of it It is a shame. If we have the option to do this, I hope we as a generation don't.

But it doesn't harm the young all that much and isn't anywhere close to a death sentence. To treat it as if the sky is falling is daft. We should still be doing more, but perhaps not getting too OTT about things.

WhatEvil posted:Yeah the sky is not going to fall, but it's not going to fall (immediately) with a Tory government either. It's still poo poo and we should be doing what we can to fight it. I suppose it's because, ultimately, it doesn't actually seem that bad. Like Italy is having difficulty but deaths do not seem to be all that high. But more people will quite literally die every day from car accidents than will die of this. If you are immuno compromised or are caring for folk with problems and are concerned then more than fair, but going "Be more afraid" seems silly. I can understand it if you have to live with it and everyone should take more precautions though.

Pesmerga posted:I'm sure that's a huge consolation to the vulnerable, immunocompromised and elderly. Can we apply this to those impacted by work assessments too now? That doesn't seem that bad either. Because those are things caused by people. This is worsened by people, but it doesn't come from them. We can actually do things that will make work assessments better, we can do things that, ultimately, make life easier for folks. That's why we should be making things easier for others and taking care of our own and others health. But I don't think it's possible to fully stop this, and it probably never was. XMNN posted:I think this is probably not true, there are 800 dead in Italy in the last week or so and it's only going to ramp up; in 2018 they had 3300 road fatalities I mean that seems reasonable. josh04 posted:If the hospitals are in meltdown due to coronavirus, that number will go up proportionately. That's very true. Maybe I am less worried because, to put it bluntly, the only folk I have seen truly fearful are arses from TV or arses at work being racist about Asian folk.

HopperUK posted:My mother is immune compromised and my 14-year-old niece only has one lung so I'm not really in the mood to be told that since I myself am unlikely to die of this, that I shouldn't worry. I'm worried for them. If you are worried then maybe a good idea is to ask what can you do, practically, to help them? If the answer is "nothing" then there is nothing to be done. We can, and should, make things better for folks by washing hands, cleaning up, etc. I would never dream of arguing differently, but why are you worried if there is nothing you can do? And what options could have been taken, does anyone know? Would it have had to be full testing for all, blocking off of airports, that type of thing?

OwlFancier posted:Refuse to sacrifice more lives on the altar of capitalism, shut down work, legislate mortgage waivers and similar, focus on ramping up care capacity, spend money to save lives. As always this is the government killing people because they would rather do that than upset the money. I wish they would have done that, but I supremely doubt that any government would do this, not least because of the sheer amount of disruption to everyone's lives it would cause. Would we have had mass giving out of food, closing all supermarkets and particular times for picking up food etc? That would have been cool and interesting though. I'm sorry to be callous to people BTW, I don't mean to denigrate people who are suffering or nervous. Josef bugman fucked around with this message at 20:17 on Mar 11, 2020 |

It's really weird, despite all the people we see going through our doors I haven't seen even one member of my team (200+) go sick over the last few weeks. I suppose we'll have to wait and see, but it is still odd. Saying that, it is weird how the government is just going "All of Labours policies but no follow up/ not thought through". Really shows the intellectual strength of the Tories at the moment.

I feel bad for going to a wedding in Edinburgh (or to be honest a tiny village outside of Edinburgh) on Thursday/Friday now. I didn't interact closely with anyone other than my own friends (all 30/31) and made sure to wash my hands really well, but I am kind of feeling like a dick for even going considering what is happening now with folks.

I hope it doesn't work, it feels like there is a new and ugly feeling in the air at the moment. Everywhere feels more quiet and yet more tense. I think that they may well end up closing stuff anyway quite soon. At least I hope so.

Mum and dad are both pretty much self-isolating already, which is good, just going out to pick up essentials/ go into the wilderness for mum to walk round. Mum's a bit ill at the moment, not physically but mentally, so they don't go anywhere crowded, usually just to some woodland where she can have a good old shout and a walk. I am also purchasing a microphone and a webcam so that I can talk to folk/ see folk if I do get ill.

Waitrose (I know, I know, wall) near me is loving packed at the moment, lots of people going around not quite panicking but very close. Lots of fresh fruit and veg/ freezable stuff though, so I was able to pick up some quorn mince that can technically last till the end of April and that I can make into spag bol if I need it.

I've got enough terrible books/ work is close enough for me to go in and grab loo roll. It's so so weird, every place is busy yet outside seems weirdly quiet. Going to get up early tomorrow morning and head right to the biggest supermarket possible and grab some loo paper as we are sort of running out here. Bought some solid soap which doesn't seem likely to sell out any time soon, so there is that. Apparently the British Museum, Natural history Museum and V&A are closing their doors from tomorrow.
