There’s a big stretch from eating a farmed four legged animal, such as a lamb or even a horse and eating a fucking snake or a bat, which is akin to eating rat.
Yes it’s their culture but it’s fucking rank.

Lamb is hardly a baby animal, it's basically a full grown sheep that's young enough for the meat to still be tender. Pigs and Cattle are slaughtered at a similar stage of growth.It's just cultural norms. Some cultures think nothing of eating insects whereas most of us find the thought of that abhorrent.
On the other hand, some cultures find our habit of eating lamb, i.e. baby animals, really offensive. And yet most if us give it little or no thought.

My supermarket was a lot quieter today. Hopefully we’re into some sort of normality on that front now, as people now look to keep what they’ve got, rather than build up supplies.

We're a family of 3 who went to Milan for a long weekend at beginning of December. Flew into Malpensa, two days in Milan, one on Lake Como and the last day in the old town of Bergamo. Within a couple of weeks of returning we all had an awful flu like illness. Never once have we considered this to be covid-19 because we think this would have been picked up by now by some kind of spike in figures. Symptoms were different too.The missus and I went to her Sister’s on Christmas Day and they were all down with the flu... we managed to last till our son’s wedding on the 28th of December till we got any symptoms.. but then we went downhill fast... the worst bout of flu we’ve ever had.. I really hope it was the same virus but I worry it was too early..
It took us almost four weeks to shake it

Oh Jaysus, I'm mentally deficient now. Grand. Can't be bothered.That’s a bizarre leap from what I’ve said. I think you are failing to distinguish between perception about our impact as a species and having compassion for individuals. It’s a perfectly normal distinction to for someone to draw. In fact I’d go as far as to say that someone who is unable to draw that distinction, is mentally deficient.
You don’t think we’re having a negative impact on the planet as a species?
https://www.dropbox.com/s/oxmu2rwsnhi9j9c/Draft-COVID-19-Model (13).pdf?dl=0Just read an article in the Financial Times that a study by oxford university suggests 50 percent of us may have had it.
Can someone post the link?
If I read it right, it's just a computer model. Probably not as reliable as testing 100 random asymptomatic people around the country but johnnytapia thinks that would tell us nothing, even if the tests showed that none of them has had it, or half of them had, because I didn't study statistics at school.

like people have said lots of flu like symptoms and not quite normal if you get my drift and me included, just a possibility that no one has mentioned could there have been a less violent strain of this virus that was undetected then its mutated into the one we now knowWe're a family of 3 who went to Milan for a long weekend at beginning of December. Flew into Malpensa, two days in Milan, one on Lake Como and the last day in the old town of Bergamo. Within a couple of weeks of returning we all had an awful flu like illness.
