Have they managed to get the Corona Virus information out to the immigrants as well - those who don't speak English??
In Sweden they haven't. So they are overrepresented. Some even haven't heard of the Corona Virus! Chatting at cafés in groups and going to other locations to pray. This is a big problem for the authorities here now.
And to get the info to the confused homeless people.

The Sentinel have put an article out today saying only key workers should be going to work and having a go at factories for still being open. The government's clear and concise messaging is working a treat. Well it means there's 200 comments now blaming the business' for it...... The Sentinel presumably includes itself amongst the essential industries and the staff among the 'key workers'. Reporters mare classed as key workers. Still don't know how that qualifies the sentinel though.

On all of the govt. sites offering info re: coronavirus they have downloadable PDFs in many different languages and phonelines to talk to people so people can speak in their own language. To be fair, that's pretty standard nowadays for govt. info over here.

In order to keep the vital public information flowing. Quite how that qualifies the Sentinul with it's 'man bites dog', gutter tabloid, shite.

A girl from Somalia said the middle aged or older people don't get the info, even if their kids get it at school where they're learning swedish. They don't tell their parents, not everyone, she said. And they might not use the internet. Furthermore, especially in Somalia, they have a tradition of gathering in groups.

If we are going to be selective The above Propaganda failed to include the following. Johnson "you could take it on the chin, take it all in one go and allow the disease, as it were, to move through the population, without taking as many draconian measures."
Spoken on National TV. This will be his legacy once the Honeymoon period is over. No it wont because the full quote is some people say blah blah but I dont think we should, fake news constantly repeated. It's relevant because one of the people who thought that was a Mr D Cummings of Notting Hill, otherwise known as the Prime Minister.

Didn't get tested as wasn't hospitalised and didn't want to pay £375 each for me and the Mrs to get tested, but NHS helpline said probably and to follow isolation policy. My bosses daughter is a doctor, she has had it and exactly same symptoms, and his wife a nurse. 2 places a possibility, the Travelodge in Thurrock, all that moaning I did about having to work the weekend covering somebody who had been to Italy, as the mingers that were in there scrapping in the bar and in the corridors at night, or the plane to Cyprus, as even though my Mrs sanitised the seats and trays and window and inner fuselage, and I paid for front seats, we still had a skanky family behind us who were coughing away. We cut short the holiday and got an earlier plane back, nothing to do with the virus, luckily as later our plane was cancelled as Cyprus shut down to outsiders. I notice there wasn't a 'where's Northy' thread on the EE board Which came first, Cyprus or Thurrock? Thurrock the weekend, then flew to Cyprus on the Thursday, then symptoms the following Week, so anywhere in that 14 day period, but I'd worked from home before going away, only mixing I did was to take the car in for a service on the Tuesday and go and watch Witton v Northwich on the Tuesday night

There is so much rubbish flying about I would treat all these sorts of reports with a bucket of salt. That may be correct. However I know several people who went down with a very serious Flu like bug in January. The symptoms were virtually identical to Corona. I am am glad to say they have all now recovered. Not saying the Oxford report is correct, but food for thought.⚓️ In a way it'd be good if it was but surely to God more people would have been dying because of it? I guess there's a study there to see if death from pneumonia or other things like it increased this January/February.

The Prince of Wales has been tested positive for the Coronovirus and is self isolating with the Duchess of Cornwall at their home in Scotland. So how many Footmen and Flunkeys does it take to self isolate the Heir to the Throne?

From Wikipedia: Under current United States law, set forth in the USA PATRIOT Act, acts of domestic terrorism are those which: "(A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State; (B) appear to be intended – (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and (C) occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States."[2][3][4] I'm not defending the cunt. I'm simply saying that there's a world of difference between A) someone who likely isn't infected, acting like a knob and licking some shampoo bottles, and B) Some hate spewing psycho stabbing, bombing, cutting peoples heads off or flying planes into buildings. I don't believe for 1 second that this bellend had any real intent to infect people. I just think he's just a stupid naive prick who's trying to look clever. A bit like Deli Ali and his stupid post prior to when the shit started to hit the fan. I think a little common sense needs to be exercised here. The guy is a complete fucking moron, but he's not a 'terrorist'.
I think the common sense aspect foster, is that "Terrorist" doesn't just mean someone with a machete cutting someone's head off or someone flying a plane into a building....and indeed the word never has just meant that.
The public creating an image in their own head of what a word means, does not therefore mean that that is now the new definition of the word i.e. your image of what a terrorist is will be different to someone else's view of what a terrorist is. That's public misunderstanding, nothing else and is the reason that words (and laws using those words) have actual definitions.

News item this morning on radio. "Travellers" struggling to get home from Thailand after flights were cancelled. Running out of money. Alternative ticket prices going up etc. Now effectively stranded.
Why were they still there anyway, and should we feel sorry for them?

Apparently they went BEFORE any travel restrictions were put in place.
That's a bit vague though i.e. if they went out 6-8 weeks ago, then fair enough there isn't a lot anyone could do and most wouldn't have foreseen the problem getting this bad. However, if they went out a day or so before restrictions were put in place and were just taking a gamble then they're fucking idiots to have gone anyway.
Hard to judge without full facts (which, as usual, the media don't want to give as "Fucking idiots trapped abroad through their own stupidity" wouldn't make as good a story)

They don't have any money. The bloke has been laid off from his job due to the coronavirus outbreak, so they don't have the money for the increased ticket prices (if the next flight booked for Friday cancels as well) or money to support them living there if they have to stay.

Maybe the Government will step in and bale them out, perhaps paying 80% of their bills. After all they were probably unaware whilst "travelling" that nearly every country in the developed world had closed their borders and suspended flights, and were in some farm of lockdown situation.

This from The Guardian Are we all clear? Advice saying 'all non-essential premises must now close' removed from government guidanceThere was considerable confusion yesterday about what the government’s “lockdown” rules actually meant. Part of the reason for the muddle was explained by the fact that the government itself has been saying quite different things.
After Boris Johnson’s announcement on Monday night, the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government issued a six-page document (pdf) giving details of what shops had to close. The version of the document on the website yesterday morning included these lines: All non-essential premises must now close ...
Non-essential businesses and premises must now shut. But now both those sentences have been removed from the version of the document currently on the MHCLG website. The second sentence has gone completely, and the first has been replaced with the words: “All businesses and premises outlined in the table below must now close.” I’ve asked MHCLG for a comment, and I will post their response when I get it.
