Still foolhardy enough to work?

[Rat Catcher]

No. People are going to die and we're all going to catch it at some stage, that's a given. The social distancing is supposed to manage the rate of transmission and death not prevent the same. Hence it's up to Govt - acting on HSE advice - what measures are needed to keep within whatever targets they are working to. Bear in mind that we have thousands of empty hospital beds right now.

Rodent after the Bank crash governments CHOSE austerity .Look how much coin they will trow at this ,they could of had a proper hospital service proper social housing proper social policies for what they will spend on this Dizzzzzeeesssse .Capitalism for the Shareholder has failed we need to return to being a Society not an Economy but some how I doubt we will .

[Shallowhal]

I'm surprised they didn't identify business's..or maybe they did....where community transmission would be high and issue a "would ya stop for fuk sake" directive...

[Rat Catcher]

Maybe they will in due course. No doubt they have targets set and planned actions to stay within reasonable levels of deviation from the same. If prevention was the name of the game we'd have total lockdown with food rations delivered by suitably protected officials/soldiers.

Think of the Church and how they controlled people with fear yrs ago......the witch-finder general is hiding out.

Id like to make a proposal.all dispatch firms including F/N and radio companies who done nothing to encourage drivers to take time off during this pandemic should be blacked upon return to normality

Are you related to Trigger ?

[Shallowhal]

We're beyond prevention at this stage.

[Rat Catcher]

Hard to believe you once aspired to being part of the public transport system with your may fayne attitude, DM. It's up to Govt, not dispatch firms, to decide whether cabbies (or anyone else) should be allowed work or not.

Legislation passed means no autopsy....this means all deaths can be attributed to this virus...for fuck's sake...tell us WHAT it is....is it SARS with special needs or what?

Does morality not have a part to play in this ? Those scumbags are prepared to sarcarfice the lives of drivers,and passengers alike to satisfy their greed.this has fukk all to do with being part of the transport system or not its much more then that now

Rodent after the Pandemic passes and the calm seas of tranquility once again cuddle the Earth and we get universal social payments for all .What do you think will be the tax rate ?im thinking 45% on all earnings +25% VAT and 10% Social contribution .
