Re: Covid 19
You're becoming the new Scot at this point. afraid to read anything that might disagree with your preconceived viewpoints because you don't like being challenged. How big is your safe space these days, Scamp?
Speaking of which, it looks like Scot hasn't posted in a while. Has he already succumbed to the virus?

I hope not, whilst we weren't ever buddies or particularly nice to each other, I hope he's not poorly, safely tucked up and healthy wherever he may be.

It's got to be the right decision. Once more testing happens we'll surely see a jump in the numbers.

I guess the good news is that those people don’t interact with the wider population. Sounds terrible but I’m sure that’s the thought process.
I was surprised that they didn’t put some hold on construction. How are you getting to work? Do you get flashed?

Yes got flashed around 6 times this morning and we've got people stuck on the Palm as the Nakheel security wont let them out without a permit , which up until now we don't know how to get them for 8,000 people and 2,000 company vehicles .
We've actually ended up with the worst scenario possible , half in half out with zero direction for our industry , no one has had the balls to pull the plug officially so we have the boiling frog syndrome .

Re: Covid 19
Dunno, nobody does.
Some short term pain now, locking down and travel bans etc aimed at 'flattening the curve' seems a legit theory though. There's sense and care and social responsibility behind it, not just - **** it, I'll probably be alright because I'm younger and fit or don't have diabetes or asthma etc. It obviously makes a difference and the lack of equipment / bedspace / PPE etc globally is testament to the need to slow down the rate of infection.
I understand the argument of the cost of how many deaths versus the global economy going into freefall and the fallout that leaves. It's not just the virus though, it's the impact on the rest of everyday illnesses or injuries - they will suffer too and not be able to receive the adequate care. How many people without the virus have or might die because of the resources being stretched I wonder.
It doesn't end until China shows us what happens I guess. Their lockdowns coming to a gradual end will show us what happens next. Other countries then need to react quickly to what happens and adjust accordingly. Hopefully it doesn't just spike again and cause more chaos. The world would then need to decide what the fudge to do next.
