Coronavirus

Piskie just constantly talks bolloxs, it's all well and good having advice and opinions when he lives the life of a recluse, down on the end of our little island. However, most of us have to work within reality and something called a national population. I guess he just don't have any coconuts to talk to in his castaway, so he comes on here with his dribble instead. Best chance he'll see of a spike in infection or even a looter, is if a fooking hedgehog squeezes under his fence.

 

The problem is, people talk about the economy as it's something that only affects the government and not the people. The economy is people's livelihoods ultimately.

 

Lets be honest, our lockdown was piss poor compared to other countries. The delay and failure to mandate masks are the two that stand out most.

If it's true we are still at 5-10,000 infections per day then the tracing procedures have no chance of keeping up with the spread. The numbers need to be in the hundreds before some form of normality can safely resume.

 

Where are you getting that figure of 5-10,000 infections per day from?

 

I think he talks a lot of sense..... Maybe you have an issue with him because he has a different opinion.

debate is based on different opinions so I see it as a healthy situation between each and every one of us.

Pity the political class couldn't do the same without the lies and regurgitation of Greek scholars

 

Out of interest, how much longer can you survive without your business running and once the mortgage holiday stops (or has it already)?

Not having a go here btw mate, just wondering at what point it all becomes a serious issue for you.

 

Whoooo !! You've got up in a good mood
He puts some nice pics on and that will do me

 

Piskie’s alright. Never lashes out at anybody, so far as I can see.

I reckon @brb can’t forgive him for being a laid back California stlyee Surfer Dude

 

I've been working throughout the pandemic. But only the online part of my business, so it's just about kept me ticking over. My mortgage holiday ends in August and by that time I expect I'll be back to 'physical' work too. I've managed to carve out a life for myself down here that doesn't require big finance to keep it going, so I've got some breathing room.

I've lived in Cities and had a 'career' with a big wage and all the trappings that go with it, and I've also lived in pretty much abject poverty, when I've had nothing and really been up against it. So I understand the situation from both sides and I appreciate that some people don't have the luxury of choice as I do.

 

I can't account for what goes on in other people's heads.

 

Yep, it's a difficult balance to juggle. Also as we were speaking about the other day, there are huge social and psychological issues around the lockdown regarding people's mental health, domestic violence, child abuse, etc and just the general wearing down of people's spirits by being isolated from friends and family etc.

 

Made up by someone on Twitter.

 

Ex QC, he's used to wringing out the truth from liars and doing it in an unflustered way.

 

Starmer just quoted 7-9000 so probably not.

 

You, lecturing me on opinions!

 

Ok, that makes it true then, great.

So, just to be clear, 7-10000 new infections A DAY?
