Totally stupid. One of the reasons for restricting unnecessary travel is to reduce the possibility of accidents where emergency services,police hospital A&E etc could be exposed.
Moravian replies on Apr 3, 2020:
@wolf041 Restrictions here in the UK seem to be much more rigid than in parts of the USA. Police are stopping drivers to ask if their journey is absolutely necessarry. If a driver was to say I am driving around looking for bears I think they would be told what to do.

@Marionville https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/coronavirus/absolutely-wrong-how-uks-coronavirus-test-strategy-unravelled/ar-BB1234Od?ocid=spartandhp If this is true , the Govt advisors got it totally wrong. There is reportedly a shortage of chemicals and yet a UK company is reportedly selling millions of testing kits abroad. There was a story some weeks ago about a small town in Italy with a population of around 3000 where they tested everyone and isolated those who were asymptomatic and it stopped the spread of the virus. Obviously this would not be possible on a national scale but do those people not keep abreast of what is happening around the world.

@Marionville Picked this off Facebook. Could explain why youger people are falling ill :- friend just posted this from a doctor friend here in UK and it clearly explains why gathering in groups can lead to very serious health consequences even for younger people. It was written for the people in the UK but it applies to everyone else as well and makes a lots of sense ..... “Why do we need to shut places where people group? Remember this: VIRAL LOAD There will be a lot about this. Why is it important? With this virus, the amount of virus in your blood at first infection directly relates to the severity of the illness you will suffer. This isn’t unusual - HIV management is all about reducing viral load to keep people alive longer. BUT it’s very important in COVID-19. So if you are in, say, a pub or religious building or entertainment venue with 200 people and a large number don’t have symptoms but are shedding, you are breathing in lots of droplets per minute and absorbing a high load of the virus. In a crowded space. They become ill over the next 48 hours. You then three days later wonder why you can’t breathe and end up in hospital. You’d decided because you were young and healthy it wasn’t going to be a problem. Wrong. Fortunately but unfortunately because the elderly are isolating quite well, the initial UK data suggests that all age groups above 20 are almost equally represented in ITUs in England. Most of the cases are in London but the wave is moving outwards. This means that being under 60 and fit and well doesn’t seem to be as protective as we thought. Why? Viral load. This may be skewed simply by the fact that too many Londoners didn’t do as asked and congregated in large groups in confined spaces and got a large initial viral load. They then went home and infected their wider families. Which is why, as London is overwhelmed, we need to shut everything down to save the rest of the UK. We are a week at most behind London. Our sympathies go out to the families affected in London and the critical care teams battling right now to save as many as they can. If I sit with one person and catch this virus, I get a small viral load. My immune system will start to fight it and by the time the virus starts replicating, I’m ready to kill it. No medicines will help this process meaningfully hence there is no “cure” for this virus. All we can do is support you with a ventilator and hope your immune system can catch up fast enough. If I sit in the same room with six people, all shedding I get six times the initial dose. The rise in viral load is faster than my immune system can cope with and it is overrun. I then become critically ill and need me (or an ITU/HDU specialist) to fix it instead of just being at home and being ok in...

To those who have a Christian background: How are New Testament theology and evolution compatible?
anglophone comments on Mar 22, 2020:
The Christians of which you speak do not confront that question. They choose instead to engage in compartmentalised thinking: they refuse to consider the two concepts in juxtaposition.

@chiara23k Sorry I did not get your meaning. Certainly not my tribe. I only look in to the group occasionally to see what outrageous statements they are making. I think we can be happy and still have a vigorous debate. I remember the tongue in cheek saying when I started online debating many years ago. "if you make more than four comments on a site and don't get flamed you are not really trying "

I read about that disgraceful way that Britannia treated their staff yesterday. I hope the public have long memories after all this dies down and that they boycott that hotel group. Good for their rivals to step in...great public relations and humanitarian move from them.

"Well I thought yesterday was tough!! Today my team have had death threats(one cant go home and has to stay in the hotel for safety), been shamed on national TV when they had nothing to do with any decision at the hotel! People (especially locals from Aviemore) need to know nobody at this hotel chose who was leaving. I also told all my team who got letters that there is no rush at all to leave. Look after each other as I will my guys that are left and picking up the pieces." This was posted on facebook by a manager at the hotel. I hope people have long memories and act accordingly when this is all over.

Moravian replies on Mar 16, 2020:
@Drew69 Cristina Higgins 10 March at 22:42 · I am writing to you from Bergamo, Italy, at the heart of the coronavirus crisis. The news media in the US has not captured the severity of what is happening here. I am writing this post because each of you, today, not the government, not the school district, not the mayor, each individual citizen has the chance, today to take actions that will deter the Italian situation from becoming your own country’s reality. The only way to stop this virus is to limit contagion. And the only way to limit contagion is for millions of people to change their behavior today. If you are in Europe or the US you are weeks away from where we are today in Italy. I can hear you now. “It’s just a flu. It only affects old people with preconditions” There are 2 reasons why Coronavirus has brought Italy to it’s knees. First it is a flu is devastating when people get really sick they need weeks of ICU – and, second, because of how fast and effectively it spreads. There is 2 week incubation period and many who have it never show symptoms. When Prime Minister Conte announced last night that the entire country, 60 million people, would go on lock down, the line that struck me most was “there is no more time.” Because to be clear, this national lock down, is a hail mary. What he means is that if the numbers of contagion do not start to go down, the system, Italy, will collapse. Why? Today the ICUs in Lombardy are at capacity – more than capacity. They have begun to put ICU units in the hallways. If the numbers do not go down, the growth rate of contagion tells us that there will be thousands of people who in a matter of a week? two weeks? who will need care. What will happen when there are 100, or a 1000 people who need the hospital and only a few ICU places left? On Monday a doctor wrote in the paper that they have begun to have to decide who lives and who dies when the patients show up in the emergency room, like what is done in war. This will only get worse. There are a finite number of drs, nurses, medical staff and they are getting the virus. They have also been working non-stop, non-stop for days and days. What happens when the drs, nurses and medical staff are simply not able to care for the patients, when they are not there? And finally for those who say that this is just something that happens to old people, starting yesterday the hospitals are reporting that younger and younger patients – 40, 45, 18, are coming in for treatment. You have a chance to make a difference and stop the spread in your country. Push for the entire office to work at home today, cancel birthday parties, and other gatherings, stay home as much as you can. If you have a fever, any fever, stay home. Push for school closures, ...

Moravian replies on Mar 15, 2020:
That's all very true but if we do not take the measures other countries are taking it will result in many deaths. WHO are criticising the UK govt's measures and rightly so. A population of 66 million in the Uk. 70% catch the virus and the death rate is up to 3%. As they say in the USA. You do the math.

Moravian replies on Mar 13, 2020:
Well that's what many Christians will tell you but the "dark ages" when the all powerfull Roman Catholic church ruled Europe probably held back the development of civilisation by hundreds of years and it was only during the reformation followed by the European enlightenment that progress was made.
It looks like the Johnson government is imploding before it has begun. Is this a fair assessment?
Moravian comments on Mar 12, 2020:
I watched Boris and his senior medical guys giving a press conference this evening on the latest developments on COVID19 and I was very impressed.
Moravian replies on Mar 12, 2020:
@Geoffrey51 He along with the two senior medical people gave a sober, measured press confeence. The attempts at containing the virus are past and the intention is now to slow down the infection rate so that the NHS can cope in a time when they tend to be busy anyway. There was sensible advice to those who may be infected and care of those susceptible to more serious health problems. The worst case scenario is that 80% of the population will be infected and there will be deaths in the vulnerable sections of society.
Do you agree?

@Surfpirate The one I like, although there may be quite a bit of truth in it is that Turnberry golf resort was bought with Russian money and an MSP from the Green party has or is about to take the trump organasation to court over money laundering. This has upset young Trump, Eric I think, who had some rather unflattering things to say about the MSP. As we have had no success in extraditing the woman who killed the young motorcyclist in England I Doubt if we will ever see Trump in a Scottish court to answer those charges.

@TheMiddleWay "But by now it was midday and a darkness fell over the whole land which lasted until three in the afternoon; The sun's light failed" From the new English bible at the time of the crucifiction. I'm sure more than one biblical scholar has tried to tie this great event in with a total eclipse in the area but for three hours ?. That's stretching it a bit. I have watched a young English illusionist who calls himself Dynamo and two young guys from Aberdeen who's names I forget re enact all those so called miracles including bringing the dead back to life. Very entertaining but not exactly novel. The bible is entertaining reading but to put any credence on it being factual or truthfull beggars belief.
