Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

Hair for the splitting of... really Hugh, that pedantic?

My post says if you're stood in 2 inches of water you won't drown. Seems pretty straightforward don't you think?
I'm actually agreeing with you and reinforcing the point you made for the elderly...who often can't stay upright that easy...
 
Unbelievable, the Facebook page where it was announced the car park for the woods will be closing now has people arguing their case whey they should still be allowed to drive there and exercise.
Honestly :rolleyes:

I'm on a local FB page for town where I live and also for where I work. For all the guff spouted there is occasionally some good posts about things happening, recommendations etc. I am largely staying off them right now as the utter stupidity being posted is just bad for my health. I would just read them and get annoyed so I am staying off them and reducing my blood pressure. Exatcly the sort of thing you are posting about.
 
On a small scale, I have a little sympathy. I live in the country, I can walk out of my front door and walk for miles in near perfect isolation even without the lockdown. Not sure how I would feel if I did not have that available to me.
That is all part of the city v town v country decision about where to live. There are pluses and minuses to all options. Right now it is better to be in a rural area but being in a city has other benefits at other times. Swings and roundabouts.

Sorry but these swings and roundabouts you mention, are they in the city's or rural areas?

Believe that is where I am fortunate... I am very adjacent to many many acres of woodland and meadows... Yet, can access in a few minutes, public transport links to get me into the centre of one of the worlds great cities in well under an hour...
 
Turns out furlough is gonna kick us (me n missus) in the ass.

Hadn’t realised you needed to be on company pay roll since feb 28th. So despite the missus having worked full time since she left uni. Her 1 week between redundancy and new job means she’s not eligible.

She has contacted her new employer to see if they’ll pay her 80% but not convinced atm
 
Will be interesting to hear what Dr Phillip Lee says on Shelagh Fogarty (LBC) after 1pm about the 2016 pandemic test that the UK failed disastrously - but that for which the outcome was deemed too sensitive to be released - and about which it seems that the government did nothing. Seems he was close to the test when it was done. Everything the test warned would happen has happened.
 
missus was talking to one of her mates last night.

her mate was telling her that her parents (both in their 70s/80s) come to hers for Sunday dinner every week. She told them last week they wouldn't be able to come round for the time being. They turned up this Sunday as usual. when she opened the door to tell them they couldn't come in , they barged past her saying 'don't be so silly". She eventually got them out the house after about 10 minutes arguing with them.

They are also going mad with her because she has cancelled her 18yo's birthday party next week. They told her she should just go ahead with it because "no-one will know" ....
 
Listening to Jeremy Vine & some of the things that are supposed to protect us against Corona Virus that have been circulated via the internet simply beggar belief. Even if we get past this I have concerns for the human race, particularly those prepared to come onto national radio live & advertise their own stupidity. :oops: :rolleyes:
