O/T Coronavirus Thread

[gm_gm]

I remember the days when licking your balls was common practice but could never do it myself, not supple enough I would have thought despite the weirdness gm_gm a few hours out on the course would be a welcome break from everything else that's going on. I've got cabin fever and it's only been a couple of weeks confined to barracks and I am getting out in the garden and walking the dog. I saw a report saying that to the elderly, the physical impact of loneliness and isolation is as detrimental to health as smoking 20 a day.

CAM, played Shyte today. Best drive on 18th 320 yards in winter conditions, 8 over par not played for 2 months ....feel bad

The message from the doctor they interviewed was direct and contained a real warning that we will see the situation in Lombardy soon enough here .

Isolate and isolate now .

Certainly anyone who hasn't seen the report on SKY NEWS and perhaps think they are indestructible would do well to watch it .

We had an open meeting on the shop floor yesterday afternoon with a manager who runs the railway side of the business .

He was like a kid on xmas day , his eyes were like saucers .

Great news he said .

Network Rail are pulling forward their maintenance programme to take advantage of the service restrictions .

Tremendous amount of business for us and we have to be ready to respond to this challenge .

It was at this point I walked away and went back to my department with 50 pair of eyes looking my way , at one time I'd have offered him my thoughts but at my time of life I find it best to avoid direct confrontation and go down another route .

I found his attitude highly inappropriate and totally out of tune with the seriousness of the situation we are facing right now .

I'm at a loss to as to why he thinks our supply chain will be unaffected , our staff remain healthy and Network Rail have enough workers to carry out the work .

It's reÃ*lly frustrating when your trying to be cautious and others like my 78 year old mother in law says. "meh it's not stopping me from doing what I want" "if I get it so be it, we all have to die of sumat". Myself and the Mrs tore her a new strip...
This morning she even went out in her car to the car wash, then went to local co-op for a jar of coffee. She went to Sainsbury's yesterday for milk and a few bits. This was after my wife had been shopping for her on Thursday. AAARGH fkin pensioner's. The quicker we go into lockdown the better IMO..

Did anyone see Australia beaches yesterday. Un fkin believe..
They interviewed a woman prob late 30s. She said "we shouldn't really be here but since they are shutting the beach we thought have one last sunny day.
Even I had a head wobble

Think I might have to get the tabletop football out and start chanting before I end up arguing with invisible people

This virus is a killer cayton and yet there's an attitude of underestimation ... to say the least from a section of society .

It wouldn't be a bad idea for the government to go on a shock tactic offensive next week and get certain people to wake the feck up .

[crashbang]

Animal. Us older ones don't need shock announcements. We roll with it.
Its the young ones in our society that haven't been hammered with it, or probably nothing else in their lives yet.
Wifi down is a shock to them

It's totally fine to not be shocked but quite another to be so ignorant of the fact you are in danger of passing the virus on if you don't change your habits .

Possibly to someone who hasn't the health to be able to beat this thing .

Because this virus is something you can't see seems to be scrambling people's brains in my opinion .

[crashbang]

And it's the young ones again being told they are safe.

[Ericsladkilnhurst]

I'm afraid some people don't realise that the coronavirus is a killer, be it going out to different places where there are crowds of people, when in fact they have been ill with cold & coughs, & not isolating, with the attitude I am not staying at home, be it the people are older end, who we know & have tried to educate in the serious nature of the disease, by telephone, be it we are keeping away from them.

[animallittle3]

If a gunman was on the top of a building in Rotherham town centre and hitting 80% of the people and killing 4% of them I trust people wouldn't be putting themselves at risk by walking down the High Street .

[animallittle3]

Now I'm not great with numbers I'm from the left and it isn't our strong suite .

Somebody crunch these numbers on the table further down the page and tell me I'm wrong in our infection to mortality rate is worse than in Italy .

Ive got us with over a thousand more fatalities if we in the UK have the same number of known infections as the Italians .

Yes I know there are variables within two different country's but all the same .....
