Self isolate for 7 days, in your own home, not for three months on a remote mountain.
People are f*cking selfish morons. |
You haven't just realised that though, obviously. In terms and context of normal human behaviour, panic buying is entirely rational. We haven't done it, but that doesn't mean i don't have a very strong urge to rush to Waitrose.
Then again, that might be because I'm partial to viewing yummy mummies. |  |

And another thing on all this stockpiling with grub, when I'm i'll, ramming endless amount of grub down my gregory is the last thing on my mind. |  |

Social media and the media are to blame in fanning the flames of panic buying. Coupled with the fact there is a lot of thick people out there, they are all acting like lemmings. Buying toilet paper is all the example you need of thick/lemming behaviour. What the f*ck has bog roll got to do with this virus?
And to top it off, today's society is a greedy self centred one. | |

Have you/your family taken any measures to try to prevent catching CV? |  |

Some people seem to think that buying hand sanitiser will prevent them from getting the virus, it might prevent them from giving the virus to others but it's not going to stop them from getting it. |  | | |

Yes, we've stocked up with loads of pasta and toilet roll. | |

Read something about Italy having a ventilator or was that a respirator for every 6,600 people I think and they are apparently on the verge of having to decide who gets one and who does not get one and the UK with our NHS being so pathetic these days having 1 ventilator type thing for every 12,000 people, something like that anyway.
l also seen it elsewhere about our intensive bed capacity being far less than Italys (I think it was), hang about were the figures for the beds and not respirators either way we are in the sh*t, I think we are poor on most things health wise compared to other first World countries, crikey our people are left in the back of ambulances and left in corridors as it is and now we have a pandemic, the NHS will never cope if this virus spreads, no doubt the NHS will probably be limited what they can do to help and perhaps our Government know that and are happy to follow a plan of telling the sick to stay put self isolate and phone 111, better die at home rather than take a hospital bed and still die.
What consecutive Westminster Governments has done to the NHS is really going to come home to roost if this virus takes off. |
Consecutive Westminster governments?
Why don't you throw the Welsh Assembly and its collective bunch of regressive incompetent yokels into the mix. You only have to look at a hospital a few miles up the road regarding HDU capacity. The WAG preferred to build and (continually) subsidise Cardiff Bay opera house vanity projects instead. |  |

Can't disagree with a word of that. Toilet rolls is ridiculous.
It's always been thus though. Social media, as with most things, has probably made things worse. I remember my mother panic buying in the 70s for some reason, god knows what. | |

Swansea now has the most cases in Wales. Wales has jumped from 38 cases to 60 in last 24 hours. Plot the growth on a graph. Let's not forget these are known cases.
This is going to get messy. | |

Certainly don't stock pile Jim and use your own brain! People are selfish and no doubt some will profit here by stock piling and create a black market. |
Dicky, the problem is if one person stockpiles, then everybody has to react. Being virtuous and saying you’re not going to stockpile will invariably mean you’ll go without in the near future.
It’s up to the supermarkets to ration now not individuals’ self restraint. |  |

If everyone washed their hands (better than sanitiser) and didn't touch their face until they did it would help everyone, including their own chances of picking it up. | |

Yes, infections will become exponential if the pandemic projections are anywhere near right. | |

Jackfath older people tend to vote Conservative, there are a lot of older people in Wales, there are a lot of English born older people in Wales, if there are mass deaths lots will be older people, survivers will probably be critical of the Government's handling of the crisis whoever they are so the upshot is could we end up with a Communist People's Republic of Wales, every cloud and all that. | | | |

17,000 in England alone die of flu each year. Many of those are vulnerable people. | | | |

I’d imagine more people are still dying of passive smoking each year than will die of this virus. | | | |

Out of interest where are you getting updated figures per area? I looked earlier and it seemed that Wales was now only publishing national figures? |  |
