Are you buying any? Or looking for them ones you bought in 1965?
I don't see the need to buy one, have no plans to attend any mass gatherings and footie got cancelled on Saturday, even though I had paid for a ticket!
But concerned about my mum and dad. 4 months ffs, virus or no virus there’s no guarantee at their age (89, 86) they’ll live that long anyway.
Still planning to them visit on Wednesday. At that age, old people need visitors, it’s the bright spot of their lives.
Well yeah there are ramifications beyond just the number of people who will die. This ought to change society forever.
I do have some sympathy with the government and all governments as they need to make decisions quickly with imperfect information and all decisions have negative consequences. I can’t say I trust this lot to make the best decisions on behalf of society as a whole and I think that would still be the case if I was an ardent Tory.
My mum is over 80 too
She hasn’t left the house for over a week now...I’ve stopped visiting her.
Just phone call catch ups for the foreseeable. She lives with my eldest brother and his family so It’s not too bad but I think wether it’s mass hysteria or not we need to take it seriously because there something new in the air and it don’t like us
Doubt it. 6 months after the virus ends people will be back voting for Tories to cut unnecessary public services so big businesses can be propped up. The unions that have worked to save millions of lives while the government did nothing will again be villified.
Tax-cheat Richard Branson is already demanding £7.5 billion for the profit he's lost on Virgin Atlantic.
You’re correct for once. I did say it ought to but doubt it will. Expect some emergency austerity while the banks are helped through this.
It’s a tough one mate.
Last week I said to my mum, I’m not going to kiss you mum. She put her hand over her mouth and pointed at her cheek. I know her only real fear is of my dad dying first and leaving her alone.
My dad’s biggest fear is of never seeing Saints win another game...fancy dying after losing at home to Newcastle @Roy Munson
Some friends of ours were due to fly back from the Canaries yesterday.
They’re still there.
Getting pissed.
Cheers mate, sure it will be alright and at least it's not the mainland I suppose.
Yeah I read earlier that loads of flights yesterday were cancelled. She's with her friend who owns a place there anyway so won't be any hassle having to stay a bit longer. Might actually be better for her than being here right now tbh.
They were giving out wipes but when you’re stuck in a small area for seven hours with thousands of other random ****s you might as well be injecting people with it.
