Remember guys if you can try to think about others at this moment in time the elderly and infirm a phone call make sure they are okay.
Enough food etc check they are okay a few minutes parents friends etc that's all it takes.
I hope you and your family and friends will be okay chaps 🙂
It is a crazy world. This is the same Government who insisted that the over sixties were fit to be out in the fields picking fruit now classing them as vulnerable and telling them they should not leave home for at least 4 months. It is scary because Johnson and his rabble are basically suggesting that half a million dead Brits is better then testing people and putting money into the NHS. The scientists are saying that the herd immunity bullshit is not going to work, but the Tories have a yes man pandering to Johnson, like the yes man overseas pander to Trump and his ego. The Tories will be quite happy to see the elderly, sick and disabled wiped out so that they can pump millions into private healthcare at our expense.
I know my old man and the Mrs mother will be the last people to want to stay in for four months, despite having loads of health problems that will make them at a greater risk if they catch anything. It is also all very well telling people to work from home if they can, but that is impossible for so many. I have caught something after having the grandkids on Firday (not Coroana virus) but don't really have the luxury of staying in. The Mrs needs her medication and the pharmacy are insisting that our new Doctors (last surgery was closed down by NHS England) will not honour previous repeat prescriptions, so will probably have to go in and make an appointment to get her epilepsy meds. Nuts.
But yes. Check on your neighbours and don't be a dick at the supermarket clearing the shelves when one or two of something is enough to last you weeks anyway.
Anyone visiting the elderly need to clean their hands and not come to them with colds and germs.
Look out for your elderly loved ones.
Shopping yesterday people were kind and considerate. Hopefully it will stay that way.
Spot on there all good points the doctors is the last place to be taking your Mrs mate it's time to think about others a mate was in Asda a woman had 20 tins of soup wtf is going on.☹️Quote:

We are a bit worried about the wedding in a few months being called off, the insurance does not cover things like this and my Dad may not travel down being over 70 with a lot of health issues.
I am trying to look after myself mate and you likewise yes I could be busy in work it's part and parcel I am afraid it is a worry for people.Quote:

Beanz you have a wedding I don't no how long this issue will last ! hopefully not to many deaths I hope I feel we may have to close schools and other drastic measures I am no expert but this is serious we may have to change our way of living for a few months.
You can easily ask for a month of meds and that will tide you through the worst. It seems like hell, but you will get through. Also for food stuff, forget the supermarkets and order online. It is what we do and that way you have bulk at your doorstep and cheaper too. Powdered nutrition is great at times like this. Masks are still rationed, but I keep my Hannibal Lector one as a spare.
Ordering online has gone to pot in this country, most supermarkets have completely stopped offering slots, they're booked up for a month. I rely on home deliveries, no skipping to the shops for me, luckily being an ocd cunt I buy everything in threes - toothpaste, bog roll, handwash, bovril, oxtail soup, etc.
I hope all the greedy panic buying cunts catch this shit. Watching the videos of them fighting over the goods without a care in the world for the dinosaurs and disabled makes me sick.
What NO Marmite.🤮Quote:

It is silly. You should always be tidied over for a rainy day regardless, but people are full of fear porn. It isn't helped when the likes of Merkel go full on Greta with something like 70-80% will be infected. Eh? No, they most likely won't. So, people have gone mad. When it starts to pass and nobody they know got it they will feel silly. And have a lot of toilet paper. You should have a months wages to tide you over really.
I have a lot of toilet paper. I always do though as you buy it more cheaply online and might as well have it. I have a bidet but never use it. I am still English and wipe my own arse and have of course always washed my hands. So many don't as I observe at service station toilets. One day I will compile data on this, but I would guess 75% of men do not wash their hands after handling dick or arse.
Old people will be fine. They can read, play PS4 games, or just get drunk. Look, if God came down and said 'Let's shake on this. Dead at 81, no ifs or buts, or your choice of a lottery above or below that. Your pick, boy' My freshly cleaned hand would of course take the 81 and shake his/her/its hand (pronoun limit). It is a great innings.
As from today guy I am self isolated for 3 months type 2 diabetic high blood pressure and the diaphragm problem I had due to medical advice.
I am a bit shocked as I forget I have theses problems.☹️
That is sensible as it is better to be safe than sorry.Quote:

It is easy to forget when you have others like your family to think about mate. It will not be easy but it is in their interest too that you keep well. Time to dig out the old LP's before the Mrs reminds you of all the DIY jobs that need doing around the house.Quote:

Keep safe and well.
I forgot I am vulnerable with my medical problems guys it never dawned on me this is serious stuff I hope you all keep well and your families all stay safe and well.🙂
You should be careful, Dia with your conditions. Really anyone with existing lung issues, undergoing chemo, etc which is a lot of people need to be extra careful. Elderly men suffer the most and it is likely smoking connected. Also, even in China only 14% of the elderly died. They would possibly have died had it been something else too like pneumonia. Old people die and that's life or perhaps death. Few will ever die peacefully in their bed. The issue for people with chemo is that they need to venture out and get to those hospitals, but many ordinary older people can really stay home without too much bother. Even going to a hospital is not that much of a risk. If your town has say 8 cases, then you unlikely to catch anything. It's a numbers game and the odds are heavily in your favor, so one should not freak out too much. In that sense the 63% of Americans who think the media is milking it are somewhat correct. One should be cautious, but one should not overreact. I think it makes people aware of what is coming which is death and many do not want to consider that possibility. That's why I don't freak out so much.
Italy probably scares people but the truth is they sacrificing old people as their system simply cannot cope. It is the government choosing to kill them at this stage.
The reality of the situation has come to me I have been in my garden emptied the shed cleaned it out I have planned out what jobs I have to do books to read etc.
There you go! There is always an upside. Stay positive Dia. Do the things you like to do and think of it as a breather. The Plague by Albert Camus is a good one for these times. And The Strange Death of Europe by the impeccably charming and well dressed Douglas Murray.Quote:

A mate in work has two lads in there 20s both with CF they are self isolated for a few weeks now shit if they got it.
It seems NHS staff can go to Tesco's and M&S to shop a hour earlier this is good news for my wife and daughter now I am isolated so no chance of me going out and about in supermarkets I would be a fool.
If you are self isolating you should not be going out anyway. Stay inside and watch netflix. :)Quote:
