Coronavirus - will we survive?

What about our borders? Are they going to stop the flights coming in from Italy, Iran and China now?

Information from Heathrow suggests that incoming passengers are not being temperature checked, not being quarantined and the official advice for incoming passengers is for the passengers themselves to check the Government's website for instructions (which is still saying self-isolate for seven days FFS!)
Now I won't comment on why the Government aren't doing anything about it unlike the majority of countries, to save a certain someone from having to respond in the usual churlish manner, but I guess you can work it out for yourselves. They surely must act soon though?

If know-it-all above had bothered to 'think rather than drink' and simply looked on flight arrivals he would see that almost exclusively all the arrivals are from the USA.

 His comments are valuable even if they don't accord with yours. He is bright and worth reading.

His arguments are reasoned, as are yours. Baiting each other and responding in a hostile way is unnecessary and turns people off.

If both of you were to refrain from even mentioning each other in your posts, but confine yourselves to simply expressing your views for us all to read and absorb, it would be greatly appreciated.

Say it, but without mentioning each other or making thinly veiled references to each other. PLEASE!

This requires your co-operation too, Lusty! 

 I hate any abuse on Nuts but enjoy reading most posts otherwise.

One form of exercise per day - I can't see how they will control this is someone goes out jogging round the block twice a day for example.

Parks - They should just be shut completely for the time being (Some confusion as Bolton Council has closed all parks anyway)

What will happen to the reduced London underground tube service that has ended up being rammed full of people?

To provide care or help a vulnerable person - How will they know if I am genuinely helping a disabled relative for example? I would think this would be abused to do other stuff.

FFS grow up and rise above it if you're that bothered. Or carry on with your running battle, I don't mind reading it the odd row keeps things ticking over.

Judging from Sluffy's emotional responses above, it appears that you would have to be "the bigger man" here and continue to share your thought-provoking comments but without reference to the site's creator at any point.
 
Can you do that?
 
I hope so because I would miss your analysis of current events if you were to be banned or allow yourself to get banned. (He's evidently under some extra stress at the moment, so a bit of extra kindness from you wouldn't go amiss)

Thats me now confined to the house for 12 weeksToday I received the well-publicised follow-up letter, and I've just had a phone call from the surgery checking on my medication and diabetes. A really impressive service all round.
