Bardeh posted:My boss came in this morning (small business, he owns it) and told us flat out that if we have to self-isolate 'you can gently caress off if you think I'm paying you.' Your boss is the kind of oval office who after the Tories make a bonfire of workers rights will be saying exactly the same thing except replacing "self-isolate" with "take a half day for your mother's funeral". I could wish that you and your colleagues had simply downed tools and walked out.

And I'd be entirely happy for everyone in the UK to have the option to get out, but they loving don't because racist idiots and psychopathic disaster capitalists put us in the position where we actually need that option. There comes a point in every conflagration where you have to forget about putting it out and save what can be saved. The UK reached that point on February 1st.

Boris Johnson is backing the UK out of the European Patent Court, which we agreed to join last year (signatory: Johnson, B). Nobody was consulted, least of all UK patent lawyers who were quite looking forward to us hosting one of the three planned courts.

Z the IVth posted:I would like to correct that tweet and say that the govt is playing russian roulette with itself. I wonder what the constitutional precedent is if the govt benches are all quarantined/in hospital/dead? Can Labour pass a vote of no confidence assuming they have enough surviving MPs and run a coronavirus coup? Technically yes, but it would be extremely dodgy and all they could do with it is call a General Election in which they'd have to put their own seats up for grabs as well. I would expect an increased Tory majority if they tried. It would be much better to instead put through only some emergency regulations (including extending the Brexit transition period) before closing the house for non-essential business until the crisis ends and by-elections could safely be held.

If schools are closing it will be on an authority by authority basis. I haven't heard anything about closures in Aberdeenshire yet, and I would expect to hear that within an hour of an announcement.

baka kaba posted:Yeah but saying "people are going to die because this is a bad thing, however we're very smart and doing everything right (the science, Laura!) so we'll have the best possible outcome in the circumstances" is setting up their narrative And when people point at figures showing that every other country that acted promptly contained the disease while we had ten times as many deaths as the whole of loving China, that narrative gets knocked straight back down again. This isn't austerity deaths that can be excused onto some other factor and can't be compared with other countries and their differing economies. This is tangible and universal.

JeremoudCorbynejad posted:I don't think the chance is that low. I'm trying to find out my own personal risk of needing a ventilator at age 34 (otherwise healthy), and all the studies I'm finding have worrying numbers for diabetics. If I were you I'd literally stop leaving the house. Type 1 or type 2? Type 2s apparently have it worse because their condition is often the result of strain on the system which knocks on into other areas. Not that I'm taking chances - I'm going to self-isolate as soon as Monday if the rate of increase stays as it is - but still.

XMNN posted:I sort of want to believe that if it gets really bad (to the point where no one over 40 gets into an ICU and they're having to dig mass graves or what have you) and it is noticeably worse here than other places, that even the British public won't be able to forgive and forget Demographic effect is hugely important, though, because the breakpoint on Labour to Tory majority voting by cohort is now in exactly the same place where COVID-19 starts killing people in large numbers. Under-50s vote Labour and have a sub-1% mortality rate; over-50s vote Tory and the mortality rate basically triples per 10 years above 50.

Either Hancock is lying his rear end off about the objectives and what the government will do, or someone has done a runaround on him. Normally I'd say it was the former, but in this situation I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't.

You might call it funny that the Tories engineered a crisis to make themselves rich, and now another crisis has intervened that means a) they wasted their efforts, b) they're not going to profit from their own crisis because of the second crisis, and c) there is a strong chance that many of them will die because of it.

minema posted:I can't work out the guidelines they've given - if you have symptoms you must self isolate for 7 days, if you live with others they have to isolate for 14 days, but does the original symptomatic person self isolate for 7 or 14 days? Seven days. You isolate until it's sure the virus has run its course. The others isolate for the incubation period to make sure they don't have it too.
