COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Just 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?

Would be quite good if they could test every fucker in the country.

The Chinese don't believe it. They're blaming America!

The fact the US is on the way to becoming the global epicentre of the disease kind of dispels this conspiracy theory

Just watching the bbc news at 10. A boss from a salford building site telling the reporter that they are keeping the 2 meter gap. Yet in the back ground as he is talking not one of the workers is keeping the 2 meter gap. I dont think people realise how big 2 meter is.

I blame the French personally. Cheating cunts.

I'm a carnivore but always find it tricky that we say these things come from eating things we shouldn't. Is there a scientific reason that hygienically prepared dog is in any way worse than hygienically prepared beef? Is it purely hygiene or is there something inherently, medically "wrong" with eating things like cats, dogs, bats etc?

All animals carry specific infections that we should know to avoid ,they eat animals they don't know anything about after havi ng them in cages with other species and barely cooked if at all in the street,i suppose we have a pet culture that they don't have so eating animals we share our houses with is wrong for us,i don't want to go on a veggie rant though!

email from one of my parents at school after I contacted him to check on welfare of his son:
Yeah thanks Sir , X is kicking a ball about and trying to occupy himself really difficult not allowing him to mix with other kids at moment especially when the other kids are all mixing outside but I've explained the severity of the situation to him thanks again

This is what we're up against.

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.

Not much to go on but I wouldn't want to be male with a BMI over 30!!!!!!!!

Thanks for cheering me up, on the treadmill tomorrow, wish I hadn’t put on so much weight the last couple of years!!

Along with a few other posters on this thread, I do like reading your posts and the perspective they give.
