Covid-19 28 March 2020

Since we are all doomed (apparently...) I thought I would just mention that so far
1) I am fine. Well...'fine' may be a bit strong. I'm OK....well, OK may be pushing it... BUT
2) I am still breathing, with a pulse!
3) I have not yet gone down with this damnable WuFlu thingy. Yeah - is that 'racist'?
I really don't care. Go sit on a sharp, pointy thing...
4) Others around me have also not gone down with it....so far...?

Massive - HUGE! - sympathy to those who have, or who are suffering (or have suffered) or have lost the battle. Dreadful. The whole Social Media farce seems to be 'the Gov: it should have been more, and sooner' to just about everyone. Trump, Johnson, et al. Whatever hoops they have been jumping through, it isn't enough (to some people...)
To others, it's a case of
1) we don't really understand the issue here, so we will put some steps in place, and review...
2) Reviewing turns into a daily (hourly?) setup, and it's still not enough. You can't please everyone...
3) It will never be enough. No matter what was done, who it was done to, who it was done by, it will never be enough. Until you acknowledge that, then it's pointless.
What are we supposed to be doing with this whole social distance thingy? 2 metres seems to be the norm, but how do you deal with the loopy types who have not read the memo? Or those utter clowns who decide that they don't like you, and they are going to cough. In your face. And then tell you that they have C19!!!
How are people this stupid? Really, how did the Human Race descend to such rampant stupidity?
They deserve no sympathy. They get none from me!
But sadly, the powers that be don't seem to have grasped the situation...

Can you be drunk and NOT be stupid...? https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/mar/27/woman-coughed-police-officers-face-jailed
The list goes on: just google it! If you are having a bad day, stay at home! Please!!! Do NOT take it out on any of the emergency services, as they will take it personal (quite right!) and make sure that, if you thought your day was bad, it just got worse. It is NOT the emergency services fault that you are a total dickhead!!! It is YOUR fault! If you cannot, and will not deal with it - do NOT blame the emergency services! How many times does this have to be spelled out, in Plain English?
And yes, I am very good at English - just don't call me if you want this in any other language!
So. We have what can only be called a New Experience to so many people - Social Distancing. It means that, hopefully, if
1) the population pay attention, and
2) the population keep 2 metres apart, then we may get through this mess, sort of unscathed.
Can we all (at least in the West...and maybe Australia + New Zealand - just agree that we are taking the best advice available - you may not like it, but damn it - if you've got a 'better expert' then bloody say so! Until then we do what we do - we knuckle down and just get through the next few days! You can't ask any more.
MASSIVE salute to all the people involved in this - the NHS personnel, now the Forces, the police, the ambulance, and who know who else! This is going to drag Everyone in! YOU ARE ALL AWESOME!!!! How this fool managed to even survive this altercation with the police...it's essentially a terrorist activity; what can I say? They shoot you for this! She is truly vile. https://www.miragenews.com/police-charge-woman-after-spitting-on-officer-during-vehicle-stop-greenacre/
