Coronavirus

Just preparing the back garden to welcome a few guests come Monday 👍😊

At last! a chance to start using up all that loo roll!  👍

According to someone whose daughter is a nurse there, there were only 4 people in Swansea Hospital ICU Dept LAST weekend. The staff were twiddling their thumbs. 

[SFO]

It’s time NHS start treating other illnesses .. those have been stopped for too long

90% of ventilated ICU beds now unused!

[Bibs]

I'm retiring from my NHS Volunteer position, not a single task came through. 

[ramjet]

I put my name down here in Geelong as well and nothing ever came through.

The restrictions and lockdowns have worked. My son and daughter, working as nurses, have also said that they are not seeing many cases, but they know as soon as restrictions ease, that will change.

The relaxations began here and Victoria has now had to close two schools. 80 new cases in one of them.

This up and down of infections will continue to occur until a working vaccine is available.

If anyone tells you any different, I fear that they speak with forked tongue.

Meanwhile here in Denmark, many of the same talks were similar. But when schools reopened, there was no rise in affected people.

Then most of the working people returned to their jobs, there have been no rise in affected people.

It is also found that children are pretty good in handwashing, in fact better and more often than grown ups who now are getting sloppy because "they know better".

I have been on work during the whole time, and I have found children to be very worried about getting ill and I've had to have talks with them to ease their worries, and to be honest, they are really good at social distancing. Now down to 1 meter. We also begin to let classes at the same grade mix a little bit while being outside.

While I know very well, that all the children will return to their former behaviour when we say go for it, I must give them the thumbs up for their meticulous correctness and involvement. For example noone is screaming "get back" or whatever. Instead they come with a friendly remark.

I will have to agree with some of you though, that grown ups and teenagers are letting it loose and not giving a toss about social distancing for the last 3 weeks. The breathe you right in the face when they pass you in the supermarket or elsewhere. Pretty strange. It's a little bit like the incredibly stupid retarded scientists whom we seemingly adore so much this day and age, who says: "look mum, I invented a bomb with a super dangerous virus with a 100% kill rate. Why would you do that? Just because I can". Or the everyday weaponized electronics, invented by the same incredibly stupid retarded scientists whom we seemingly idolize so much this daya nd age, who says: "Look mum, I invested a 5G cellphone system of gazillions of masts so we can make every one on the planet ill. Why on Earth would you do that? Just because I can".

Not even a teenager would do something that stupid and retarded. So it seems that even teenagers are smarter than scientists. Who would have guessed that?

Thanks to everyone out there who have done an honest job in helping other people during these last few months.

Kind regards,

Jacques

When are the strip clubs open again?

[andydclements]

Like this?

Social distancing Covidiot style - three people airlifted to hospital jumping from cliffs FFS. Do you know what, rather radical maybe but these people deserve everything that may come to them. Fcuking first degree idiots. Let Darwin be proven right!

Meanwhile, I spent this stunning, hot day, doing a bit of weeding. Fixing a garden fence. And sitting out in the sun with a few glasses of nice chilled Sauvignon Blanc without having to risk breaking any social distancing rules at home. Muppets. Total freakin;' muppets. Just don't start coughing near me you fcukwits....

[esprit22]

Yeah , do these people actually know about the virus? It's probably not their fault, they might not have access to tv or radio or phone, so are oblivious to what's going on.

[LotusLeftLotusRight]

When you see scenes like that, it makes you think that the second wave is only 2 - 3 weeks away. I hope I am wrong. Perhaps we should quarantine all those idiots on those empty cruise ships in the background?

[SFO]

Risk of transmission is much lower outdoors .. beach is crowded but there is space between the groups

[Bazza 907]

Yeah, right up until they needed to herded into a small area for the rescue helicopter to land. Then they were all standing shoulder to shoulder .

Since the virus crosses mucous membranes quite easily (nose and throat), wouldn't you think that more people could be exposed to the virus if someone coughs and wind, which you don't get indoors, may blow the virus over several people other than just the people that are close?

[Bibs]

The science says otherwise. I guess in places with little air circulation there's more chance of aerosol droplets hanging in the air than if there's a breeze.

[ramjet]

I thought about that afterwards. Makes sense that it would just hang around in the air indoors.

So the rule outside then is always stand upwind.

I saw that and thought they've packed 500 people together to reduce evacuation risks to a couple of idiots compared to a land or sea based evacuation. 

Covid death rate at 1/2%, there's a good chance the helicopter evacuation did more harm than good.

Or maybe the air ambulance controllers did the cost benefit analysis better than me?

I certainly hope so.

Is this not all signs of the APOCALYPSE now 🤪?

And I quote:

“Revelation 6 talks about the Seven Seals. The first four of those Seals are called the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

“They represent religious deception, war, famine and disease. This is one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

So:

1. Deception: Pfft - that's an easy one - tick
2. War: Pfft - another easy one - tick
3. Famine: Just wait for later this year - no rain for a long time now and none in the long term forecast (certainly for the South and West). Animals are already being culled, crops are already failing - and don't mention the locusts.
4. Disease: Mmmm well I think this one has been met although some may argue.
5. And not forgetting the often overlooked and rarely mentioned Horseman: Stupidity - he definitely seems to be out and about these days.

 The only way to be saved is to trust in the Church of TLF (full membership available at a very reasonable price) and tin foil hats.

The 'End is Nigh' I tell you (caveat: The end of the world may take some time and dates may vary by region and will involve sunbathing, G&T's and fast cars) - see you all on the other side!

[Sparky]

You had me at sunbathing and G&Ts.

[C8RKH]

Lol. Your average Covidiot is blindly walking in front of those horsemen and I hope they trample the bastard into the soil.

Thereby returning moisture and nutrients to the earth to feed the growth of Triffids.

I have just eaten a whole multipack of Kitkats and am currently sat in the sun, with a fresh G&T, recycling their foil wrappers to make a hat!

Bring on the horsemen. I'll be prepared.

[Sparky]

At 1042?  Sirrah, I salute you.  That's rich, even by my questionable standards.

[Bazza 907]

Wot, eating Kitkats?

[Sparky]

Indubitably.  One should at least wait until the sun is over the yardarm before scoffing Kit Kats.

[C8RKH]

Needed to get rid of the hangover from last nights libations.

Worked a treat. Have since been out with the chainsaw and a few trees have fallen!
