Hello From My Englishness

There are worse things to be poked with on the tube. And worse places to be poked.

:D:D I read something on a board earlier that made me really sad and this was just what I needed to bring me out of it.

Yes, a needle in the eye could well be one of the safer options :D

No pressure, but you're 6 posts away from being able to choose an avatar.

Ah. Life goals!
 
Oh, and the world really has stuck it's collective head up it's arse.

Firstly. Anyone who dies. That's a sad thing. Most will have nearest and dearest who will be sad.

Corvd-19 is a flu.
Lots of people die every year from normal flu's.
It does seem like more people will die from a widespread covid-19 infection than say influenza A (but currently estimates would still be measured in thousands (tens or hundreds))

Currently in Britain not many people are diagnosed with covid-19 (that number is going to rise quickly)

SO

if you currently feel like shit. YOU HAVE FLU! no you are not going to die from it.
Most people are not going to die.
Newspapers and news websites are in the business OF MAKING MONEY.

(This will probably change when infection rates increase)

Then. Maybe. You'll have Covid-19.

Still you almost certainly will not be one of the unlucky ones to die.

Stay home. Reduce your temperature. Watch Seinfeld. Drink whisky. (Buy your own fucking whisky).

And if you stockpiled loo roll or soap **** **** **** (edited for politeness)
 
More importantly.

If you are unlucky enough to become ill (possibly) around 10% will need significant medical assistance. (i.e. ITU/HDU)

This country (the UK) has consistently voted for a government (the Tory's) over the last 10 years that have reduced funding to 1% (with year on year increase in demand of 4%)

I can bore you with comparison spending of Germany/France and historical spending (Thatcher/ Major and Blair/Brown years) but these are known Facts.

Any person (not exclusively medical folk) will tell you that our healthcare is in the predicament it's in because of known decisions. These decisions were politically taken and are ideological.

Even if the system (i.e. waiting lists, elective surgery etc) was as well funded as at the end of Gordon Brown's tenure we'd struggle to treat this extra 10% of cases because lots of people are already taking up those beds with all manor of other illnesses.


Those decisions are coming home to roost.

(I really hope we all get through this)
 
And maybe now we'll all have a discussion about self worth and the limitations of capitalism.

The sun will rise Tomorrow.

If we keep consuming at American rates (which is around 5x what the Earth contains, Europe around 3x) we'll blow this fucking home of ours up.

Looking after the weakest in society it's a bad thing. Everyone can (and should) contribute to our great nation.

Why do you all ask why I'm on my soap box (which contains no soap because some fooker will steal it!)
I'm daily asked to deal with Retards (I know that's not p.c. but morons are still morons what ever the label!)

And fuck me Alexander Johnson, and the Donald are the biggest fucktards there is (imho)
 
(none of this is meant to sound arrogant)

If people don't know something then we should be supportive and give them the skills and knowledge to educate themselves.

BUT THE WORLD IS not FLAT
Vaccination is a GOOD THING.
and please for the love of all that is mighty... Stop believing what you read in the Sun of the Mail.

Your life will improve immeasurably.
 
Get that avatar!

Anyone bought a non-lavatorial paper product today?

I'm resisting going to the supermarket, loading the trolley high with just loo roll, and walking around to see the reaction...

I am actually that dickheadish...

I was in my local supermarket yesterday. Plenty of loo roll to be had, provided you didn't want their own label. People seem to stockpiling the cheap stuff....

I pretty much agree with all the points made in your posting marathon :)
 
The US is suspending flights out to or in from Europe for 30 days.
Would have been nice if they had included Japan and Singapore so we could get that ticket refunded. :rolleyes:

ETA: Great Britain is not included in the ban.
