Come Back And Berate Me In A Few Months

[nailit]

But theres something suspicious about this pandemic. To many unanswered questions.
It supposedly started in Chinese livestock markets, and yet the Chinese have had these markets for years, so why now?
Why so quiet about Russia. Or Japan even?
Why the global lockdown (in some places but coming to others)
Talk of bringing the military in (martial law?)
Some places no longer accepting cash?
When was the last time you couldnt get a bog role?
Weve been through wars, SARS, Swine flue etc but nothing on this scale.
Influenza kills more people.
The list goes on.

Call me a nutter in a few months (or now if it floats ur boat) but to my mind this is something else at the moment.
I find it all a bit disconcerting!

Just found out five minutes ago that granddaughter seems to have it.
NHS not swabbing anymore due to sheer numbers.
Daughters whole family now in isolation.

[nailit]

Wish ur daughter/granddaughters well Theland.

[Theland]

Politicians lies. Today in the Commons saying increasing testing, yet 111 saying not testing as much. Lies.

[Theland]

Cheers Nailit.

I'm sure your granddaughter will be fine, but I'm sad to hear the news, TL.

[nailit]

Dont understand how this isolation thing works?
How is your grandaughter supposed to survive for one?
Food, bills etc?
Are the government making arangements?

[Theland]

Sorry, granddaughter is 10, her Mum is my daughter.

[marval]

I hope your granddaughter will be better soon Theland.

[Theland]

My whole family have told me they are all staying away, but will shop for us, and leave it outside.

[Mamyalynne]

They will test if the symptoms worsen and are unmanageable after 7 days, but you must ring first.

That advice may of course change.

Send my best wishes too.

[Theland]

Most certainly. :-)

I am most fortunate, big family, sometimes a pain in the butt, but when it come to it, they are very supportive.

[Theland]

Business after business crying for money off the government.
What about ordinary people who struggle to pay rent.
Support is growing in the USA and France for a Labour Party style cash injection, PQE, People's Quatitative Easing, and put money directly into the bank accounts of ordinary people.
My idea is better.
Sequester the bank accounts of the rich and super rich in the national interest, and use it for the Plebs.

no I think I will give you a good kicking now
rather than a few months

can you add:
me auld mam has had a sense of impending doom - shes been dead for twenty years by the way

I thought pigs were flying last night but it was the fat *** from next door asking me if I were OK - I had only had a little to drink

I woke up last night and realised the Marx Brothers film Monkey Business didnt have a monkey in it - weird

Influenza was first descirbed in 1568and was called as a result of the idea of a bad influence in the air

My name is not Andie Hughes so I wont go on -but I can !

[Hopkirk]

I'm sure Russia has it, but no one dare say it in case they annoy Vladimir.

[Peter Pedant]

theland be calm
the stats from china say that of all the cases there 80 000
there was not one death under age 10
(and I think 8 between 10 and 20 - that is a fatality ratio of 1 in 10,000)

this unlike spanish flu is NOT a disease that kills young people
