The Coronavirus Thread

4. THEY caught up with him and hamstringed him by making him forget his forum password

Nope but very few here have ended up in that situation. Health in insurance here does not demand a choice has to be made. Nobody's income is wiped out. The government went into fully social-democratic mode and the money drawer was opened.

I'm confused now Scot. Why would the Dutch government take such measures if the Covid-19 scare is just all hype and hysteria?

[Tero]

Finnish parties find the pandemic the best ever:
-nationalists get to shut down borders
-green party gets to stop airplanes
-Christians get to close bars
-Social democrats see chaos in stores as a failure of capitalism, perhaps the end of it

Following agreements. It is all very tongue in cheek. Look at the UK government. It is all over the place.

So it's not a problem really and teh Dutch are just humouring the rest of the world eh?

[Scot Dutchy]

We are going with the flow. How many dead do we really have?

[Cunt]

100% of your health ministers collapsed either from the virus, or Geerts comments.

Like everybody else, you'll just have to wait and see - but you shouldn't conflate the government taking measures to limit a potential threat to public health with the idea that there isn't a threat to public health. And to suggest that you're government is spending loads of cash, reallocating resources, bringing in special measures, issuing advice, and effectively disrupting the economy just to humour the rest of the world is, quite frankly, laughable.

3 days ago your PM said that most Dutch citizens will contract the virus. You government has confirmed 2,460 cases of Covid-19 infection and the number of deaths at 76. That's a mortality rate of 3.09%. But, I guess, the Dutch government is just making the figures whatever they want to be eh?

[Scot Dutchy]

Yep like every government. The numbers are so small the attention they get is out of all proportion. The global figures? China has peaked? Please...

[pErvinalia]

Yep like every government.

So Dutch governments aren't the best governments?

[NineBerry]

What astonishes me that in this situation still all the advertisements on CNN are ads for vacation destinations all around the world.

Shut up and talk about Trump.

Lets hope I don't have to hold you to that, and that if I do we're both still around to agree you were wrong.

[laklak]

Trumpy gonna give us free money. I'm big time down widdit.

The Dems need to up the ante. Fuck it. Lets just get the goddamn corruption out in the fucking open and include us little guys. I won't sell my birthright for a mess of pottage, but my vote is definitely on the block. Me and the Mrs are for sale, IOW. Votes ONLY. Anything else you don't have the money for and you'd fall in love. Now Trump and McConnell are talking about 1200 bucks each, so 2400 all in. What's your offer, Uncle Joe?
