COVID-19 — Coronavirus

Fcukinell mate. Your uplifting words were among the first things I read this morning. Do you take bookings for motivational talks?

:)

Ha ha probably a down moment after a few days of watching utter greed and selfishness run amok, unchallenged really. Supermarkets didn't care if the old and vulnerable got nothing, so long as their tills were ringing. I believe it has altered slightly now but I haven't been back yet. I will have to though as the situation worsens, I need some extra stuff myself.

I hope people wake up and start helping others and showing some restraint and compassion from now on I really do. The chancellor is doing a speech today so if he helps people pay bills and reigns in the big corporations a little until hopefully things ease a bit they may. The country needs strong clear and compassionate leadership more than ever now let's hope they set the example.

I know this is probably a daft question, but I wonder how planet earth is finding this situation. Less traffic, commerce, factories pumping out pollution worldwide?

Yes I thought it was crazy everyone was just allowed in from infected countries. People were even being interviewed and they were just asked basic questions they could have lied to and waved through. Insanity.

Yes. Whatever the arguments about models, numbers and other stuff, this appeared to be incredibly slack practice.

660-odd Brits due to arrive soon from the stricken cruise liner. I wonder what measures will be taken in their case?

Not a daft question at all. Maybe the planet is fighting back.

When the dust settles on this, there may be less complacency about the selfish and unthinking way we treat the environment.

That’s my hope but possibly I’m being naive.

If tells us he will step in and make sure -

no firm will go bankrupt
nobody has to pay their rent, rates, utilities etc
everybody will get enough cash for food

we will know they've run out of road

I’ve got my Mother and Grandad who are people this could possibly have a huge effect on, it could easily kill them... but I’m still cracking jokes, sending jokes to mates, pissing myself at Liverpool and just getting on with things like normal.

If you take things too seriously you’re a boring ****! I cracked a joke in work on Friday and someone moaned at me “this is life and death, it’s not a time for jokes” but she couldn’t have been more wrong, this is the time for jokes!

People shouldn’t be so serious about it all. Two people die every second around the world. There are far worse things doing more damage to humans than COVID-19.

All we need to make sure we do is be more hygienic and socially distance. It’s not a time for mass seriousness and the end of humour!

Agreed it's the way I am it's how I cope as you will see by most of my posts either daft or trying to be witty stay happy blues and like look after each other.

I thought the same but I didn't want to say it! The things you mentioned are the positive side of this virus, albeit temporary, we'll just go back to killing the planet as soon as we can, its what we do best!
