race is immutable.. ideology could be anything

in the case of the Met, they are saying even in a place where they *are not minorities at all* they still can't meet their quotas

like if someone said they dont want to hire a practising open neo-nazi - that would probably be understandable

especially if they were jewish

loool

however, here's the thing, you can't feasably create a rule that says the met alone is allowed to discriminate in the pursuit of public service

it will spread

other governmental departments will want it

> region with a 43% ethnic minority population
how does this even work? a majority minority?

So do you think that the Coronavirus can Overwhelm the NHS

as much as any flu outbreak

I still dont think it's that bad

Yeah exactly @wacka

obviously not having a vaccine will make it a lot worse

Guess it's worse in a way as theres no prevention

Yeah

But the general person still has little to worry about

since not as many people showing up to nhs if most people have been vaccinates... or boosted or whatever

Isnt the survival rate 90 odd percent?

slightly less I think

2.6k deaths, 26k recovered

So its certainly of concern

And most of those dying will be ones vulnerable to illness

probably will also lose a lot of nurses and doctors... putting more pressure on NHS

even if most just get too ill to work

What percentage actually show symptoms

There seems to be a lot of carriers or whatever you call them

dunno... the brighton guy who got it recovered didnt he?

Dunno

perhaps ironic though... that all those people who came up from Libya to get to Italy... and italy is like, the most infected place outside of Asia
