    Mr. Murfy, I can predict a bunch of crowd will come and they don’t give a d..m about yours restrictions. Do you know why, because to late to do a little.
    If you do as your Californian friend, don’t be surprise. At least you do care about your sit.

    Riding mates mom is a nurse, they all think it's just a bad flu without a vaccine and no big deal and a massive over reaction, not snowflakey at all, obviously not allowed to openly say that, not PC ( wrong ) to say anything other than it's going to kill everybody.

    On 35 who've had it, all says had worse colds.

  4. In hospitals med personal is signing the form they can not release anything what is happening inside the hospital. We had multiple cases nurses were uploading on YouTube. They were terminated.

    OMG your so right, those poor deluded people, it's so near, they had it a week early than in the UK aswell, which makes it look even worse OMG.

    Hang on, you got to read past the headline dummy!! FFS

    Spain 57 per 100K
    Italy 51 per 100K
    UK 50 per 100K ( 0.05% tiny )
    France 40 per 100K
    Sweden 34 per 100K

    Week earlier than the UK!

    So sweden without lockdowns is 1/3rd less than Spain, defo got to make that country lockdown, it's making every other country in the world look like total pussy muppets.

  9. We have no alternative. Stay closed will make unprecedented impact, it is already done.
    40% low salaried workers unemployed. 50% of small businesses may not open at all.
    Government on all levels already got it and partially opening states. People get life, surprisingly very fast. A lot of activity, means we will return back to business.
