Coronavirus

Love to stay and chat Stan...But whilst you're eating bog roll. I need to scran my hoi sin steak wraps and get my head down. Gotta do it all again tomorrow, well today actually.

Eat, sleep, work....Life sucks....

I'm now paying for my sins,and enjoying a young retirement and just going on a 5 year bender, drinking and shagging asian birds. Oh well.

Plus that Honda Accord awaits, when this **** is over.

 

People are stupid...Oh hello.

 

The Daily Gammon is doing its bit:

It only works if you have a Smart TV. Don't waste your drugs on a normal TV.

 

Liverpool squad?

 

I hope the bait you prepare for tomorrow is better than your current stuff.

 

I may do a 'never been to a football ground sandwich'.. Would you like one? But expect your the expert on those.

 

So there are cases of the virus in US jails . So they are releasing prisoners ?

 

In the UK as well - first case yesterday at Strangeways in Manchester. Apparently he has been told to self-isolate!

 

I think for a lot of the elderly its ignorance rather than arrogance mate. My mother in law doesn’t buy newspapers or have access to the internet (not that she would understand how to use it if she did), and I’m utterly convinced she unaware of the gravity of the situation. They are also the one section of society who for the most part don’t have to worry about income, mortgages, employment etc.

 

And their lies the problem imo. A very large percentage of the extremely intelligent people I have ever met, lack basic common sense which in times of crisis is needed. TBF, for the most part these people only have to have the ability to digest large amounts of information and regurgitate it as required.
They can tell you the square root of a banana but can’t peel it!

 

If that burnham chap lead the Labour Party they would win the next election by a landslide

 

My wife told me that she overheard one woman boasting to another that she had shopped in Sainsbury’s, Morrison’s, Asda’s and Liddle all in the same day. How the **** do you stop this type of mentality?

 

My Mrs called me from outside Aldi yesterday as she had been waiting outside as they had closed it because there were too many people inside. I heard people asking each other if they knew anywhere that had bog roll and then shooting off there. My wife only wanted mangoes!

There is no panic buying going on here, its calm in the shops and all the bog roll you need.

Would like to think that it's down to a different mentality but suspect its more due to the fact that
1) most people don't have room sized freezers for perishable stuff
2) they would have to evict one of their children if they want to store large amounts of non-perishable goods
3) they don't have the savings to spend large amounts of money on items that they wont eat until next month

There's a lot to be said for living in developing countries during times of crisis.

 

That was a kind of perverse hope of mine. Surely not that many people here can afford to just keep shopping in stupid quantities for long, especially if their future financial situation has become an unknown.

 

They maybe all plan to set up little roadside stalls selling bog roll and pasta - it would probably still class as working from home.

 

@NSIS not been about for a while? Hope he's alright.

 

No idea mate.
I am just trying to remember that millions of shop workers, delivery drivers, cleaners, cooks, school staff, road cleaners, fire fighters, refuse workers, nurses, doctors and god knows who else are still going into work...are working longer hours for no extra pay etc.
Maybe the kindness and generosity of all of them and millions of others involved in schemes like @PISKIE and others have described on here will shame them into ****ing sharing or at least to stop ****ing going to the shops.

 

I think I have the winning entry in the photo of the most inefficient use of resources in treating Coronavirus:
