    I live in a 300sqft flat, there is 4 of us, we can sit comfortably and eat, we do not go out for breakfast / lunch or dinner, we either do take away or cook at home or we go to our MIL next building and eat at her 350 sqft apartment 4+2 total 6 of us.

    Talking of stupidity are you still saying this is less dangerous than flu and we are all "fucking hypochondriacs"?

    Well, since there have been more overall deaths than the flu now, I've moved on to "slightly more dangerous than the flu". But yes, you are still all fucking hypochondriacs, especially you The way people shit their pants stands in no relation to the overall risk of dying from it. But what am I telling you this? You are happy to stay locked in your house and live off the "government rice", the great dear Duterte in all his infinite kindness, has donated to you.

    I am not that happy to stay locked inside my house but I have no choice. I will be leaving it in a box.

    The free rice, which come from a variety of sources none of which are Duterte, is great because we can give it the poor (though we did use the tinned food).

    Don't know anyone who is shitting their pants, just being sensible. If you want to take a Trump approach please do.

    It's less dangerous than Spanish Flu. Slightly more dangerous that "average flu". About the same as the very bad flu in 2009 (swine flu?). If you actually look at the numbers now (treatments have improved a lot over the last 6 months).

    How about those people stay inside and stop telling everyone else how to live then? The last time I checked the limits on eating out and everything else affected everyone not just the high risk people. Old and sick people die from the flu as well and yet never prevented everyone else from going about their lives.

    And didn't before there was a vaccine, importantly.

    Life has always involved risk. It was - well - just life really. The recent change (probably in the last 20 years only) to a world where we seem to believe we have a RIGHT to a "low risk" life is the problem. Particularly when you combine it with the number of places in the world that don't have a low risk life (war zones) but where we then won't allow those people into "our" low risk worlds.

    For anyone who thinks that the current restrictions are not also killing people.
