Ooh, a gif

Perfect response to your often, dull, attention seeking and if i may be so bold, trolling posts.

Apparently Boris is insisting he doesn't need a test. I assumed he would have had one. Surely these tests take 1 minute of his time? Madness.

I think you better self isolate, keep off your computer you may give that a virus.

He’ll win a landslide later in the year. Half of the western world’s population are even more cretinous than him.

Nah this is the end for him in my opinion, the way he has handled this has been so bad.

He simply doesn't know what he is talking about

Donald Trump’s grandfather died of the flu in the 1918 pandemic.

Give it a month that graph will look like table mountain, in the USA last week 5000 people died of the flu.

So if Merkel is correct then UK could have 40 million infected. Hope she's wrong.

His voters will believe everything he says. They are fucking imbeciles who in normal circumstances I'd say deserve what they reap. In this case though, his gross stupidity will trickle down and probably affect the UK at some point so the best case scenario would be a bullet to his head before it's too late.

Genuine question, why do people think the UK is so far behind the likes of France, Germany and Spain in terms of positives? Obviously we're an island, but we're not limiting travel and our preventative measures are pretty lax compared to most.

Do we think its a lack of testing?

Vs the worry about what happens if it does take off whilst you are out there, and either you cannot get back and/or the medical services there cannot cope? Interesting dilemma.

Yeah - it is a difficult choice - but for me it is important to try and secure and stay in a Covid free environment and avoidance is better than dependency on being lucky enough to have access to the overloaded NHS services if you do get it and are seriously affected.

I have started to look into things in more depth - including reading this thread these last 2 days - and am of this view

1. The place I would be in Cyprus is in a seasonal location - the area will have been very quiet since October and the villa is in a private location and the other 8 houses will be deserted at this time as they are owned by Russians and Brits so...
2. The chances are very strong that it is Covid free in the immediate area - which for me is the starting point - I just need to keep it that way - which can be done with a disciplined regime and will be easier there than here
3. I can take 6 suitcases full of stuff with me and start isolation immediately and I can exercise extreme care when needing to stock up

Most importantly.....

4. My reading of things are that it will be the next 4 weeks that will determine how things are going to be in the UK. If it does take off - it will be more likely the UK than Cyprus that will be in lock down - and then I will have been grateful to have gotten out earlier.

I would rather watch from a distance - selfish I know - but this is increasingly something where such sentiments are not relevant.

If my daughter's school were to move towards closure, I have decided today to go immediately - I might take her out anyway as Easter is on the horizon.
