What hve we learned from Covid.

[On Balance]

Having been away for a period of time it has come to my notice that people don?t wash their hands after using a public toilet.
This a regular occurrence particularly with men who have just used the urinal. They just zip up and walk out.

It was quite apparent also when men used the pan for a dump. I was amazed how many just walked out and then went back the the restaurant and carried on eating etc.

Speaking to my wife, she said it was not only men, she said she had noticed women regularly not washing their hands. She said they would use the toilet and prefer to preen themselves in the mirror rather than wash their hands.

It is not just a British thing, it was all nations, Dutch, Spanish German, they were all at it.

Some did wash hands, two or three seconds under a running tap without soap.

What filthy race many of our so called cultured humans are.

Couldn?t agree more! Anyone who does not wash their hands is a filthy animal. I go away a lot and can?t believe the amount of people that use the loo on the plane in their socks. How disgusting!

Also people walking in houses with shoes on is equally filthy. My mrs would lynch anyone who goes over the mat with shoes on.

What have we learnt from Covid? Wish I had declined the jabs and glad my two children made their own decision to not have it!

What have we learned from Covid? People can be very selfish and unjustifiably c unty towards others. So not much on a personal level as I was already well aware of this.

At the same time acts of human kindness and consideration for others are still a thing more often than we sometimes realise.

The waitering classes of the south have emerged from the sheeple and will surely inherit the earth from the splendour of their redeveloped broom cupboards in Tower Hamlets.

Meanwhile sales of tinfoil have risen exponentially and the market shows no signs of slowing down.

Forget investing in gold and blockchain tech as the emerging market of choice for the discerning entrepreneur is definitely tinfoil.

Ps. Yesterday's site 'up'grade was utterly s hit.

With the amount of people coughing without caring where it goes in the supermarket I think many have gone back to the ?cant be a r s e d? default setting.
(Should be speech marks but the updated website has obviously improved things)

Exactly! All those young and fit people who declined the Covid jab are having the last laugh - they must be thinking glad all that s hit was not injected inside me! If I could turn back the clock - I wouldn?t have had it either!

Offered a flu jab today - my response was why the hell would I want a flu jab when rarely do I get a cold let alone flu. I was brought up to open windows or go out in the fresh air if you had a cold.

I'd say I see more people in public loos washing their hands than ever before so the above has shocked me a bit - thought we'd got better than the bad old days of utterly decrepit public toilets. Anyone who doesn't wash their hands after a number two is a disgrace!

Covid made us more insular I feel, people turned on each other and it was a hell of a "success" for governments around the world on how quickly they could get their citizens to obey them.

Hopefully, not to panic and impose lockdowns etc when it comes to flus/colds.

WCV, that is good news, at least locally or perhaps in the UK. I was referring to our, as a family?s experience, in a Spanish island. We spent three weeks in a villa and one week in a hotel. The three weeks I have to be honest I couldn?t tell as we either ate at the villa or out. However we stayed at a hotel for one week where the food was buffet style. People, of all nationalities generally could not give a toss about their personal hygiene in the toilet facilities. It was noted by me, my wife and two children. People would visit the toilets and wonder off into the restaurant without washing hands or just splashing them under a running tap for a nano second.

They would then wonder into the restaurant and use to utensils to select their food. Some just disgustingly just used their hands to pick up food.

Cretins absolute disgusting pigs. All nationalities.

Have to say we witnessed one young couple, British, who had a young child in a high chair and they went on their hands and knees and picked all the food the little one dropped. Credit to the nationality. And I don’t say that too often.

Usually disgusting personal hygiene usually is associated with the less educated or the lower class. For example - why are some towns like s hit tips with pawn shops and rubbish rolling around the streets and other towns beautifully immaculate with top brands. Pride - Respect - Education - People are just a few reasons!

Personally, I would never go to an all inclusive or a hotel serving buffet style meals as I would know what to expect and usually it's all low quality crap served to the mass!

What are your thoughts on having the flu jab and Covid top ups WCV? Waste of time likely to cause any number of medical emergencies to those who take them or are they of use? I'm particularly thinking of those with underlying health issues, especially respiratory conditions.

You see although it's very well managed I do have asthma, a history of childhood pneumonia (double), adult bronchitis and then chickenpox in my mind to late 30s where the blisters spread to my lungs necessitating the use of penicillin.

As such getting inoculated always seemed the sensible thing to do. I've had the flu jab for years now with no side effects that I'm aware of and I've had every Covid jab available up until being told the advisory categories have changed meaning I don't need one this year.

Much obliged if you could help me out here as although I don't think I've had any side effects it seems my brain must have melted somewhere along the way and I'd have been better off forgetting the inoculations in favour of opening our windows even further than I already do.
