So what is my 'ilk' Boyo?
All I am trying to do is have a discussion about COVID-19, as per the topic of this thread, without getting into some left versus right political argument.
You need lockdown enforcement to make people comply with social distancing whilst the threat is perceived as low. Hence why no social distancing has happened in countries without lockdown measures being enforced prior to their being a serious outbreak.
.
Also worth noting that tomorrow will be 14 days since people went a little crazy on the Mothers Day weekend, packing the shops in Sydney, and no doubt plenty of family gatherings that weekend too. But no suggestion yet that it's led to a spike in infections, good news.
It is bizarre, in most situations no one invades someone else's space or likes to, if you do it to a girl it has always been deemed creepy and to a guy it is deemed aggressive
You never been on a bus/train, elevator or a busy bar?
Maybe, but you also get these overly-friendly assholes who think they're being sociable by turning a routine handshake into a bro-hug or by kissing vague new acquaintances on the face.
If this pandemic sees the end of the "kiss hello," then perhaps some good will come of this.
UBI? I don't see how it is anything other warehousing the unemployed under a new, improved label.
Fun game, now let's do it Country Deaths /1M pop

It's almost as if socialist, class war obsessives who see everything through their own political prism are ignorant and don't give a sh*t about facts.
Who would've guessed?
There's no way I'm clicking on that...
