Tried to avoid this a bit more today (for my sanity) but always like to check as there’s usually some useful info/comments, especially from sick boy re: Italy.

Is it too much to ask for all this ‘Johnson’s avoiding scrutiny stuff’ to calm down though. None of us know how ill he is so unless there’s any convincing evidence to indicate it’s bullshit suggesting he should be holding the press briefings and is swerving them to avoid scrutiny is crazy (most leaders aren’t even bothering with daily briefings at all, let alone when they are recovering from coronavirus). We all probably know people who’ve had this, some of which have sadly passed, and how debilitating it can be, so I’m finding the comments bizarre, even when I know how disliked he is by some/many (especially as he will still be scrutinised for performance during this time anyway)

Anyway, hope the decent weather is keeping people’s spirits up even if we can’t all enjoy it as we usually might.

You can buy an emergency inhaler from a pharmacist. They may well check to see if its on your prescriptions list but that is an option. i myself ave don same on a ccouple of occasions down the years and never had a problem.
Their is no need in this day and age to go without if you've forgotten one.

Tried that, pharmacist told me to go to my GP. As I say I haven’t had a prescription for over a decade.

I do like how when Professor Neil Ferguson says if we don't take action we are looking at 100s of thousahds of deaths people take his words as gospel but when he then says the actions taken to stop this are working and we maybe able to look at loosening the restrictions in a few weeks he's talking shite

Confirmation bias wankers

You come across trying far to hard on this issue - bit like Harvey proctor the anti gay campaigner who ended up in a newspaper exclusive with a load of rent boys

You really need to wind your neck in. He’s an MP and I couldn’t give a fuck what colour he is you spanner
Not only that he himself ignored it, it's the message he sent out by doing so. Buffoon.

Nothing kills a virus deader than a gun
At a guess I would think this spike in gun sales has been caused by fear of looting if there was a food shortage or people become desperate in other ways. America has not been anywhere near as generous as our government has to its population and there are many people who will genuinely be wondering where their next meal is coming from.

Yes, shoot the looters and feast on their corpses. Better plan than shooting the virus.

Business as usual then.

All joking aside about the gun situation in the US. I’d get one. I’d have a laser guided sentry gun front and back of my house now tbf and I’m a double hard nose breaking mother fucker on the red wine again.

And as my profile photo shows I’ve already got two massive guns.

Can anyone tell me the government’s exit plan ?

Or haven’t they got one ? Is this virus ever gonna be just gone forever ?

Can’t see it

Don't tell them you've moved .
Had that experience myself and couldn't see the doctor even for that one occasion with the appointment booked.

No one on skybluestalk can tell you the governments exit plan. I imagine they have one although it's subject to change along with the changing of the situation.
Will it ever be gone forever? Yes at some point and surely a vaccine will come along relatively soon.

I preferred it when you lost it about our scouting and recruitment on a weekly basis if I'm honest.

What is the global exit plan? Which government has one?

Name any country on earth that has one?
