Azza said in last month's thread that coronavirus was just the loving flu and a few grannies would die and we'd all carry on so this is just a continuation of bad opinion posting imo

Wow i thought this was an exaggeration but nope, there it is

quote:

It's a loving flu, we'll get through it and some grannies will die and a few nurses will quit their NHS jobs in favour of the much less stressful cosmetic procedure industry. Life goes on whoop de doo.

Anyway, speaking of the virus, Channel 4 had an excellent video on Italy's experience. Obviously the stories are always horrible, but Lindsey Hilsum always has the best pieces and this one is proper moving.

I'm not sure what that guy doesn't get - the NHS put beds in but they didn't build the Excel centre, so rent makes sense in the capitalist context we all live in

What the government should have done of course is requisition the building and tell the owner to go gently caress itself

Do any "routine tests" normally require an overnight stay (and being moved late on a Sunday night)? I'd have thought - even with the kind of definitely-not-NHS hospital he'd be going to - that they'd not want him to actually spend any more time than he needed to in hospital, especially with the PR angle, so unless someone can tell me that there is actually a legit reason to do this that we're definitely not getting the whole story.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been bagged, tagged and buried 6 feet under ground for "routine tests"

When I first saw Contagion I thought "Yeah there are people like Jude Law's character but it's probably a bit overstated in this for dramatic effect, in reality in a situation that serious he wouldn't get a huge audience"

The fact that the USA government behaves so calmly and professionally in Contagion provides an absolutely wild contrast with real life

I went out for a cycle yesterday and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. There wasn't a plane in the sky either, it was kinda haunting.

Speaking of planes (and their contrails), it appears the Arctic ice has taken the global lockdown pretty badly.

The rhetoric of the-full-fruits-of-your-labour still falls flat; this is why Corbynism avoided it in favour of the public services/99% pitch. Too many people - especially those who are the main focus on center-left-big-tent-party largesse - are just straight-up not in the labour force to begin with.

Socialism in the 21st century seems instead to find its successes in convincing the aspirational classes that they really deserve to be invested in as a moral project, rather than to contextualize left politics in terms of individualist redistributive justice alone

(there are many reasons why that falling-flat still happens, I think, but this ventures more into sociological debate)
