Gozzie- You are totally blind to what you are wishing for. You and others are being led by the nose down the garden path.

Thats not china just having restrictions for a short while to solve a problem .The public comply if it works .Well most of them apart from some clowns.

[gozzie2] 29/10/2020 11:54

Why have we got 60 thousand deaths and counting and south korea 500 .They have the same population and a higher density .Oh yes its because they have a world beating track and trace systen and they wear masks .Rocket science that .

[guitarhaggis] 29/10/2020 11:53

Gozzie- Why wouldn't we? You and others are already crying out for it as a solution.

[gozzie2] 29/10/2020 11:50

So we are all going to become China .Good luck with that .

[guitarhaggis] 29/10/2020 11:50

I deal in facts too.

[gozzie2] 29/10/2020 11:49

Well I'm not into conspiracy theories .I deal in facts .

Gozzie- The point I'm making is that the aim is to install a Chinese style regime the world over. This hasn't come about because it's a way to stop this Covid 'Supervirus', it's the other way round. Covid is simply the vehicle for the transition to this new regime.

Here a guy phoned up from the council and said its OK to go out dont bother about it. I might clean the pub if I find a couple of cases lol .I rest my case .

[gozzie2] 29/10/2020 11:27

Absolutely its obviously going to take longer but nothing I can do but go with it .Same position as March groundhog day .

[guitarhaggis] 29/10/2020 11:24

I rest my case.

Wuhan had military lockdown for 76 days and eradicated it - if we adopted that strategy now we could home and hosed by 9th January - but as things stand we've been told that these restrictions will be here until March.

so folk have a choice - keep on the way we are and this will roll on and on and on, or lockdown hard for 76 days then re-open the country.

I'll take the lockdown - many will disagree -

for the first time in years I've no positions open at all, just sitting in cash.

too many unknowns for next week.

maybe open a long and force open a short on the indices and ride it both ways -

Oil is worth watching, as demand shrinks, could see $20's again, WTI contracts will no doubt lead the way on direction.

Gozzie- I don't want to get into this conversation again for the sake of everybody on this thread but the idea from the very beginning was to show that the hard Chinese regime model was the way to go to beat this. So here we are now full circle and you're crying out for it.

Job done.

[gozzie2] 29/10/2020 11:05

They had severe lockdown for 111 days and had zero cases yesterday. They now need to keep it out again .

[rescuer] 29/10/2020 10:54

it's right out of control Gozzie - Govt need to take the edge off this - hospitals will be overwhelmed by next week - we can't irradicate it, but a short sharp lockdown will take the edge off for now.

wait until London hospitals start to see intake, the national position will change then.

ps - why can't we build a wall along the M62 and keep everyone south of that out, we'll manage quite well on our own Up North.

[gozzie2] 29/10/2020 10:11

Well its taken Bobby RIP

John, with every nation now facing potential bankruptcy - not sure how many to date have defaulted on Sovereign Debt, but early May it was 3 countries with 87 teetering on the brink - not followed that up since.

Lebanon, Argentina, Ecuador where the 3 in May. I know Turkey were struggling.

why doesn't the world just get together and start crossing off some noughts - we all owe each other, lets square the global position - some will gain massively others will go under, but then you can see where the support is required.

In that case presumably that would speed up so that would be 1m per week. After a year the whole population will be affected. Interesting.

New leaked SAGE 'worst case scenario' predicts 85,000 COVID second wave deaths and argues a lockdown will be needed until MARCH - as latest Imperial study says 100,000 Brits are now being infected every day

[johnwise] 29/10/2020 07:56

Really dont understand why China are getting away with this and not being held accountable... its their nation that needs to be forced into bankruptcy and ruin in order to pay the rest of the world some sort of payout... I mean not one Chinese official has apologised for this... it really does equate to mass murder..


Don't lock Britain down again, plead business chiefs, MPs and medics who warn the economic devastation could last 30 years and bankrupt the nation

France just gone into full lockdown again with all bars and restaurants shut.

[gozzie2] 28/10/2020 21:56

They have no competition like I said its the only pub open out of 25 near me but a lockdown or tier 4 could change that .At least 20 to 30 percent will never reopen imo that must be good for wetherspoons. When you go on a coach trip they tell you where the nearest wetherspoons is no other pub chain gets that publicity.
