At a time where people are sharing doctored photos of army trucks coming to lock us all into our houses, the context of the article was very important yet for some reason not included. No link was provided and I searched for it myself prior to responding.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
We should be questioning things by default and doing what we can to stop people turning this into mad max

People are getting hysterical about the thought of the army coming to shut everything down and enforce quarantine. The context of the article was totally different.

The first words posted were "according to Sky News".. maybe the person watched it on the TV or read it earlier and wasn't on that webpage anymore. It's not their duty to furnish people with clickable links whenever they pass on some information. Not providing these links does not, as you claimed, make it fair game to suggest they are a troll.
The "doctored" photo was again a mistake, posted in confidence, and quickly retracted.
I don't even know why I'm posting all this, I didn't post anything about either of the topics. I just don't think you're being fair here and at the end of the day .net really should be a safe heaven away from condemnation where we can help and support eachother through some rather unprecedented times for us all.

I disagree.
There has been a monumental level of trolling going on - people, purposefully photo-shopping army vehicles to make out that the situation is far more sinister than it actually is.
If you're willing to share information that supports that position - via ommission of facts, not providing a source - you should expect scrutiny.
Maybe the original poster was unaware and in that case, yes I was being unfair. I'm not sure how that would be possible though, unless they hadn't read any of the thread over the past day and avoided all other forms of social media.
Let's not blow this all out of proportion too.

I certainly know if I'm on my phone, and happen to read a news story on the BBC or Sky app, it can be a bugger to then find a way to provide a link to the story without having to go on to the actual news provider's website.
Don't think you're any kind of ******* for what it's worth

Can anyone with kids due to sit exams this year in Scotland let me know what their schools are saying and doing. While kids in England won't be sitting them this still hasn't been agreed up here and I've been told that the kids will be amongst those that are to keep going (just hearsay not fact).

More people have recovered from it than been diagnosed with it each day for a month in China and after weeks of declining statistics have just announced a day of zero new domestic cases(edit: possibly only for Wuhan) .
Definitely positive news I'd say.Last edited by danhibees1875; 19-03-2020 at 08:04 AM.

I think the chances of a full lockdown are higher rather than lower. People not taking it seriously enough. That means continued spreading of virus. That means more deaths. That means collapse of health and other associated services.
Only answer is lockdown I’m afraid. I would guess within a week. Possibly next few days. Imo.

Three choices are delay the exams, sit them with less kids in each room or scrap them and go with course work.
They should go with less kids in each room. With the schools closed you have all the teaching staff available and all the class rooms to hold the exams.

Our ponderous start to this should be, and will be, heavily criticised afterwards I'm sure. We're at least moving more towards those things now though.Mon the Hibs.

I'm not going to apologise, you're not going to like it and I still maintain the original stance.

Things ramping up here in New Zealand. Only 28 cases, all brought back from overseas, but one hour from now the border will be completely closed to anyone that’s not a permanent resident or citizen. Same in Australia too.
Mass gatherings of over 100 (indoor) also banned from today.
Total lockdown seems days away at this point.

It's starting to feel like a voluntary lockdown.
Road traffic is reducing each day as well as pedestrians.
It's getting a little eerie.

My local pharmacy is operating a 1 in 1 out policy today. It means there is a queue in the street though.

If anything it's Sky News you need to complain to if you're unhappy with the story.

Up to 20,000 service personnel will be put on standby to help combat the coronavirus, with troops gearing up to drive oxygen tankers, support the police and boost hospital capacity.There is no such thing as too much yarn, just not enough time.

I was wondering about E-cigarettes. We all know that the virus is spread via droplets. Vapour is nothing more than tiny droplets, so are people who are infected who also vape not just spewing out millions of potential vapour virus paratroopers every time they exhale?

Maybe the Sky news mobile site didn't have it listed when I looked, maybe it wasn't sorted onto the front page... I have no idea.

When threads get into nit picking, point scoring and stupid squabbling people stop reading them. Can we make an extra effort just now to try and not let that happen. People want discussions, chat, info and advice and dont want to be trawlling through post after post of nit picking squabbles to get there.
