UKC

Caught the news earlier (R4) with a vox pops from people attending. Obviously the news editors picked the real winners to broadcast to get exactly this (my!?) reaction but f*^k me they (the interviewees) really seem not to give two shits about Coronavirus (or the possibility of passing it onto more vulnerable people) 

Some quality comments including this gem - ‘I’d rather get Coronavirus than miss this event’ 

half would struggle to identify a Shetland from an Arab by the sounds of them - 

I fear there will be quite a lot of that attitude about in places, it is only if some elderly family members start to die that the tw*tishness of their actions might sink in. Too late.

Is it much different from the attitudes displayed by spectators at any other UK sporting event?

(The Cheltenham Festival including Friday's Gold Cup is the equivalent of five or six Premier League matches in terms of attendance)

When you've got nigh on 3.7 million people crammed in the London Underground every day, I don't blame them for not giving two shits about being at a horse race.
Healthy people who stand next to no chance from dying from a bit of flu.

Are we supposed to give two shits about Coronavirus?

Given the amount of toilet paper people are hoarding, i guess so...

Healthy people as you put it are likely to know/come into contact with less healthy people , parents, grandparents etc at some point - try to look beyond the immediate example/occasion perhaps 

If the stories are true I think they must be expecting to give considerably more than two

I don’t know, I’ve not (yet) heard a fan attending >insert football match here< saying ‘they’d rather get Coronavirus than miss .... united or whatever’ - yet 

Maybe we need to isolate the vulnerable rather than allowing everything to grind to a halt?

Already happening where I am (old folks homes etc) I visited a school today (work) was asked on arrival to go wash my hands etc. This was an ASN school so precautions/controls in place are probably higher than elsewhere, for now. 

it's hard to worry too much with all that going on in Ambridge ...

Aye true, I thought it was Philips son doing the pipe work in the kitchen but turns out to be some other bloke...though I might have missed an episode at some point 

Took my father in law to the local urgent care / walk in unit due to ongoing health issues ( not Corronavirus linked) I would say about 10 % of the people who walked in the entrance used the hand gel sanitisers situated by the entrance next to all the Corronavirus posters -  unbelievable 

It really is unbelievable, as you say. There are very, very good reasons - as well as coronavirus - to thoroughly wash your hands (and use hand gel sanitisers) on entering, and again on leaving, hospitals/ urgent care or walk in units. I thought everyone knew that. Apparently not

That seems like a sensible approach, it seems more rational to take extra care when in contact with the vulnerable than to hide from everyone.

It often seems to me that hospitals don't put a lot of thought into the places that they put their gel dispensers. They usually need to be a little more obvious.

I think now is the time to enforce their use.  We had someone walk into our A&E yesterday asking for a CV test.

PIR sensor and a voice shouting "Hey You, CLEAN YOUR HANDS!!! - Don't act like SCUM!"

Don’t think it could be any more obvious, at the main entrance with bright yellow posters.
