Covid-19 It’s home! Made us think yesterday.

[Lowland1]

And pork so much cheaper. Maybe the price of pork will rise

Well no-one wants to collect our pigs at the moment so i dunno about that.

 

[Lowland1]

Swedens population is 10 Million, so not quite the same is it
[/QUOTE
It's exactly the same its about percentages. There will come a time when those people trapped in a third story flat with a couple of young kids say enough is enough and want to get on with their lives. There is only a certain period of time you can imprison innocent people and rather than threats of the police and army that time period should be used to be better prepared especially those most at risk.

Lincoln or Kenya?

 

[czechmate]

Most people don’t want to catch the virus so are “happy” to stay in. No force required.

 

[Lowland1]

Lincoln. My children who are England are not happy to be indoors neither are their friends. Luckily mine have farm work to be on with their friends don't. There will be a time when those people have had enough and they will come out not to take over the country but to try and get on with their lives and when that happens the government response i doubt will be violent.

It cant be the same . People are infected by people, more people more infection .
Having said that i have no idea of how people live in Sweden . Individual houses or mass occupancy buildings

It would seem from figures posted on here that more people live in London than the whole of Sweden

India slum, 1 million live on 60 ha.
I’m dreading it.

 

[Derrick Hughes]

That Sky Tv programme from the Red Zone in Italy , you could hardly walk up the streets so narrow . Big high buildings people living on top of one another

Exactly we had a national clap last night for the supermarket staff that are feeding the nation

I kinda find that weird and, as already mentioned, another one of those soppy Americanisms. Certainly they are doing sterling work, as many people are under the circumstances, but this sort of thing just makes me cringe in the way that line dancing does.

Anyway, when I were a lad 'clap' had another meaning altogether.

It’s the modern way in our “touchy-feely” culture. It wasn’t the way in our family and the way we were brought up. Guess it’s a product of Grandparents that went through two world wars and parents that went through one.

And if it goes on for a few weeks for eg, how does it stop?

Hmm... ask @Lowland1 about Nairobi's slums, collectively they beat that easily, Kibera alone may be pushing a million. Rather unsurprisingly, the KPS (police) aren't as reticent as the Indian Police regarding the use of force - but, then, the Kenyan population won't be as subservient as the Indians generally are.

I guess that once the disease-riots in Kibera kick off, they might have calmed down a bit by the time they reach places such as Namanga or Nakuru, but I doubt it. I've been unlucky enough to be around a couple of times when the law has failed in Africa, and was lucky enough to be able to get out very quickly.

Clap, line dancing or Covid 19?

Don't worry about it. Its no harm and gives those locked up something to do

I suspect that India is heavier density than the Nairobi slums. Not been to India, but I met an Indian chap in Tanzania once who told me that nothing in Africa was as bad as India.

Levity aside it's not going to stop, it's another disease that we are going to have to learn to live with as we did HIV, which at one time was going to kill us all off whatever our orientation. I don't see locking ourselves up in the hope that it will go away as any solution at all, we have to come out and accept that life can be a bitch at times and there is no absolute right to perennial freedom from disease or the threat of demise. Perhaps we have become so absorbed in the omnipresent regime of health, safety and medical advance that we forget the natural forces which pay no heed to such cocoons and will finger us all in the end.

I once had a brief online discussion with an Indian professor who was of the opinion that India should depopulate the countryside and move everyone into cities which were to be wonderful and smart with everybody leading a happy life. He probably doesn't feel quite so clever at the moment.

Chap I met wasn’t a professor but a businessman. We were building a kids home in Tz and he told me we Wee wasting our time as “there’s nobody poor in Africa”. He believed it too, from his experience, as we chatted for a good few hours over dinner.
