    We sure have some halfwits in this country, all pushing to the front just to be first to the dried pasta.

    Last one on this before someone tells me to take it elsewhere. They just had to put out a statement to deny some frankly hideous **** attributed to Cummings:

    “herd immunity, protect the economy, and if that means some pensioners die, too bad.”

    Saw this and it made me laugh, but a little sad too because it's how the world is now

    Markets all over london, richmond park full of people, beaches crammed with people.

    No one gives a **** about social distancing. What the **** are the government doing

    Has anyone heard if catching this virus definitely gives you immunity?
    The reason for asking is that someone at work (obviously a very sound and believable source) was saying that a Chinese doctor recovered from the virus, then caught it a second time and died.
    Just reaching out for the hope that you do become immune, otherwise the herd immunity scheme would have proved even more risky.

    People have started calling him Field Marshal Haig as he doesn't give a **** how many people die.

    I thought every body realised by now that the majority of British people are thick as ****. Look how many voted for Brexit.

    I agree Fran. Who but an evil person would be so callous. I am glad we are on the same wave length. I think it is a horrible comparison as Haigh was very much misunderstood and had good intentions.

    Went out for some fresh air this afternoon with the Mrs, on what was a beautiful sunny, fresh end to the weekend.

    As responsible adults, we followed governmental guidance and kept 2 metres apart.

    HATED IT



    We are never that close when we go out, I could even still hear her voice.

    Absolutely. I haven’t checked the numbers exactly but they seem correct & if so, this should be posted on every media site available. If this doesn’t make people realise ....... <doh>

    I agree - you sound like you are being sensible, the issue is that a lot of people aren't.

    It may sound like a preach, but people ignoring it are killing people. It is that simple. That is why it sound like even Boris is losing his patience with it. Listening to him just now, as much as I dislike the guy, I can see where he is coming from - he trusted the public, but I can see within a day or two total lockdown.

    This is serious. It will affect everyone of us and applies to all of us.

    I am not trying to preach or even have a go at all at you.

    That depends

    If you are a Macaque monkey you should be alright.

    You can certainly go outside, just have to be mindful. During the warm months here, I tend to get my cardio by power-walking around the town I'm in, having ruined my knees a bit too much for jogging. Instead now I'll drive a few kms and do it on the dikeland or some other stretch of lightly populated terrain. Only thing I can infect out there are the field mice.

    Spaffer Johnson has threatened anyone who doesn't observe his request to be responsible with social distancing will have to stand on the naughty step. Number 10 sources say this is aimed at his father known as uber punk Stick it Stan who said "bollocks Boris I'm off to the Glue Pot pub for a mosh pit session"

    Oh, I think some people are like cats on alert, at the moment. They could have heard me from 10 yards/metres away. :biggrin:
