Thread Name: BS: New rules for the coming pandemic
Subject: RE: BS: New rules for the coming pandemic
Two points..

1] mg - please don't take this the wrong way, it's not sarcasm or intended as any slight against you.
But instead a practical suggestion..

Her goes.. In the UK at least we are being implored by official sources
NOT to spread internet hearsay and rumour about the virus or possible remedies..
Official fact checkers are working flat out to list believable sounding
but stupid ideas circulating social media..

So, mg - my suggestion is why don't you open a separate thread
where you can notify us of things you hear and speculate about.

That way we can discuss them fairly,
but open mindedly with full objectivity and sensible consideration...



2] Politics - Politicians should be held to account
for trying to weaponize this pandemic for their own gain over rivals.
But that aint gonna happen in the real world..

However in this thread, we ought to keep partisan political party allegiances out of the discussion
as much as possible.

Here in the UK it is inescapably relevant to acknowledge if a Govt was too slow to act positively
and effectively,
because of entrenched Laissez-faire ideology.

But a reality check kick up the arse is now at least motivating them to to try to look as though
they know what they are doing to send corona packing...!!!
