Wuhan Killer Sneeze (thanks Tea)

I've searched for bits of the text and nothing comes up. You would expect to get some hits from Google books or whatever. If you search for striplings here https://www.pepysdiary.com/search/?q=Striplings&k=d&o=r

It feels fake to me. Like someone modern trying to imitate Pepys.

I had the same thought and I googled the first line of the text and it came up in a few different places... didn't investigate further than that. I never read the diaries I'll admit.

To be fair, it was delayed

Omfg. Just when you think it can't be any more insane. Are they testing at Heathrow? If the answer is no, pretend it isn't.

This is the trick ... keep ppl working where they keep spreading it, while people get mad at their fellow citizens for going on walks or whatever when it’s really our refusal to help ppl subsist through the crisis that is increasing its spread

.@VP: The CDC tomorrow is going to issue new guidance which will make it possible for people who have exposed to the coronavirus to return to work more quickly by wearing a mask for a certain period of time.

People are pretending our civil liberties are negotiable vs issues of safety but our civil liberties are actually negotiable vs issues with the economy 🥴

Not the answer I wanted.

I dont know a word for something this unhinged, except 'uk government policy'. This country is so fucked.

nothing better than middle eastern political rage. it has the same emotional energy as dancehall diss tracks.

Seems much the same everywhere. Maybe they tell you to self isolate for two weeks on arrival but they know full well no one will

 

[luka]

That's what I mean. It doesn't add up. The staying indoors thing doesn't fit with crowded trains, crowded supermarkets, millions of people in crowded workplaces, unfettered global transit

And as he says, then we are all supposed to get angry with people going on walks

I went to Asda today, pretty busy, not that many empty shelves

There's a concerted attempt by the media today to shift the blame onto the public and individuals. An early exercise in flying excuse kites.

 

[baboon2004]

I totally go with version's point about herd immunity still being 'on'. If it were actually official policy to kill old and vulnerable people without having to do the deed, they could scarcely be doing more than they are now

Asda was like day of the dead, but they did still have quite a few yoghurts

 

[catalog]

Do you think that's deliberate? I'm just assuming no one knows what to do

Like at the fucking press conference, Boris is not 2 metres away from his cronies. What is that about

"A non-trivial percentage of U.K. journalists with twitter accounts seem to think their main job is to hold the public to account."
