Thanks Beth. The critical point is that until we have an efficient and reliable test and a vaccine we are all making guesses of sorts, some educated and others based on little more than wishful thinking. Our life choices will depend on the balance between the need to earn money and how optimistic we are.

Those choices are forced choices. Whether you can wait months for financial help. How you interpretate lock down rules. If you cant work from home then go to work. Essential travel only. Stay at home etc etc etc
Anybody happen to know how many have died from seasonal flu this year?

Just asked Priti. She's priti good with numbers
She could always get a job reading the lotto results if this goes pear shaped. And todays bonus ball is.....347,584,467,256,145,742,545,743,864,356,367,477,367,225
They should do a countdown special with Priti and diane all for charity.
You could ask that head nurse who cant pronounce her 'R's' but it would obviously be inappropriate. C'mon you Wangers
Sorry, I didn’t see this post and want to reply.
Firstly
I will never ‘weasel’ out of anything. I held my hands up last night and clarified what I was trying to say. Sadly for me when I don’t concentrate I make mistakes. If you don’t l believe what I say then tough luck. I don’t need to explain myself to you.
Secondly and most importantly you will not find a post of mine that hasn’t been supportive of my country. I have also championed the NHS.
Furthermore, I am supportive of the government because if they succeed we save lives, whereas you seem to not give a @@@@ about the lives, all you seem to be interested in is hoping the government fails so you can bitch about them.
Every day, whatever happens, you are moaning about the handling of this. Even when evidence is shown like that fab WHO article on PPE you turn a blind eye and don't accept it because it is supportive of what the government has been saying. From day one i said that if the government has made mistakes then that is for a later date. Now is not the time to criticise at every step. it’s about being sensible and obeying the guidelines.
You posted something recently which stuck in my mind…
Although contradictory the bit that stands out for me…
“But I'm certainly not sticking to the 'rules', which are daft”.
This tells me that you are not interested in others safety, because you’re ‘not sticking to the ‘rules’’.
Why is that? Because they are government rules and you don’t like them?
Also...
Your hatred for Boris blinds your judgment.
Boris, is a winner. He won Brexit, the election fight and more importantly the fight of his life.
I didn’t even see his speech yesterday as I spent the day in the garden drinking Rose (which by the way, was a very nice Languedoc for our wine fans). However what a fab speech and well done for naming the 2 nurses. Like my nurse friend, they probably won’t moan and will go back to doing a fab job. No, all the moaning comes from the usual lot who can't distinguish between politics and a human being.
your own words confirmed this the other day…
Seriously think about it mate. Why would anyone need to say this? You are better than that. Thankfully I am so pleased that no-one on here ‘liked’ the post because you would have to seriously ask why?
I will also tell you something which I am sure you will hate… but once this virus is over I think Boris will be more popular than he is now. I know he’s popularity went up by 30% recently and apparently his warm words yesterday have resonated well with the public. people will think twice before knocking him because he has been there, seen it, done it.
I said from early on that this is something unprecedented and every country around the world has had its struggles in some way. Even Korea and Germany are now having problems. I also said that it is changing daily and people have to adapt to the situation… yes, that includes the government. They like others they have probably changed their minds as this unfolds
you said in the early days that a
“lot of fuss” was being made and it “being over-exaggerated”. you compared this to “regular flu” and that regular flu was a bigger threat. I remember the post as you discussed having pneumonia twice.
My point is do you still believe that or like others have you changed your mind as this Pandemic worsens?
Until then I will wait for the inquiry and we can all bitch then.
Now I don't mind if you ZZZZZZZ my post as it's not just for you.
Once again to clarify to all posters, last night when I posted my wording came out wrong. It wasn't meant to sound that way and I confirmed that in the following post.
And I thought the politics thread was hard going!
Have you got an ‘Abbott’ meme that can emphasise this please....
I think 2 frontline LAS frontlines have died this week which is pretty rare.
How long did it take you to write that Ellers? I quite liked thatSorry, I didn’t see this post and want to reply.
