COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[Saddleworth2]

Supposed to be going for a quick round of golf this morning. Altho the government has advised going out into open spaces is ok, it somehow feels wrong to be going out ‘having fun’.

Bizarre situation right now. I guess people just have to be sensible at the moment with social interactions. Like Mothers Day, pretty sure I shouldn’t be going round to see the old dear.

Have fun mate, I am still fishing too. Whilst it does feel pretty weird, I am less at risk in the middle of a loch than I am at the local Tesco. Good for wellbeing and for the businesses that run the fisheries. they are disinfecting boats and have gone cashless so hopefully they stay open.

Folks, there's a Covid 19 thread in the politics sub forum. Let's keep the political stuff in there and out of here, okay?

Doesn’t justify it though. It’s fucking idiocy, and selfish as fuck. Why the government didn’t force them to close earlier is beyond me.

What's the difference between going to the pub or going to morrisons.
Or standing in a que in the post office

Playing golf at Warrington this afternoon, haven't played for a month due to injury, can't wait. Hopefully the course will stay open for the duration. Stay fit and well everyone.

Going to the pub is not a necessity, getting food is..

Pretty simple?

Unfortunately, I have since found out that this is not genuine.

This is parody written by American author Nick Farriella for the humor site McSweeney’s earlier this month. The text is clearly identified as such at the bottom of the original online publication and now at the top: “NOTE: This is a work of parody and is not an actual letter written by Fitzgerald.”

Here's a link to the original piece:

Apologies folks but all is not lost as I also found this:

I suppose an online parlour game might consist of someone guessing the original novel from the parody and I would expect that Bram Stoker, Stephenie Mayer and Charlaine Harris might then feature prominently.

fair play you went back and got verification that it wasn’t bonafide..refreshing

You’re obviously quite new here so you haven’t learned to dig your heels in yet and defend your position to the point you start believing it yourself despite the data proving otherwise. Keep posting as all sources of information will be important to someone looking for something on this thread.

Probably can’t take too much from it but doesn’t look as bad as it did a few days ago. Hopefully we can on curving round instead of up.

Watching sky news from Italy. ......fukin frightening.
Any body who wants to go out after watching that wants there bumps read

 

[give it to gordon]

go mate , golf jogging and fishing are the perfect pastimes for these times

Wont a golf course be closed ? It's a leisure/sports club. I guess the club house and changing rooms, pro-shop etc could be closed and you just get changed in the car park.
