markavfc40 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 (edited) The White House Coronavirus coordinator has said that they'd be doing well to have between 100,000 to 200,000 deaths. That is if all Americans adhere to what they are being asked to do. Trump has said the same that they will have done a very good job to limit deaths to 100,000 - 200,000. This from someone who was totally playing things down a few days ago and pretty much didn't give a shit a couple of weeks ago.

Outside China and North Korea not many places can contain people like that. (Thankfully) I also think there will be quite a lot of anger and resentment towards those among the very rich who doesn't fully grasp how dire the situation will become for some people.

We're now at a point where the police are posing a major problem. How can we ever *gradually* return to normal, when it is clear that police will simply ignore any exceptions, and write up whoever they want for whatever they feel like? Going back to this, if you go out for a drive and don't get out of the car until you get back home, how is this a problem? people need to do that to stop their batteries going flat so its easy to argue it's possibly an essential journey! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of weeks ago he said that the number of cases in the US would soon be down to zero, and in fairness to him, there are a lot of zeros in those numbers.

The only suggestion I've seen - and it hasn't come from police themselves, who just seem to assume that it's obvious - is that they don't want people clogging up the roads so blue lights can go as fast as possible, and that they don't want the possibility of the RAC being called to a breakdown or them being called to an accident. But yeah, it would be a complete disaster to be struggling, unable to breathe, and then your wife can't get the **** car started cos the battery's flat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Are there places where the police are routinely stopping motorists? Genuine question, I've only been out once in a week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
