Glad you enjoyed it Honey; no, I've stopped even comments as it's quite simply just a personal opinion every day. Those who want to discuss thoughts in an intelligent way can do so here. Sites like You Tube & Instagram etc tend to attract the loonies who want to be noticed. Better to use them just one way.
Enjoyed, like the positive energy. I had a strange moment after a 12 hour shift walking down a dark tow path beside the thames about half 7 this evening (I was legitimately out btw).
A Police car with lights a flashing blocked the path. I was the only person around. 2 officers leapt out of the car with large torch flash light things in hand and started running towards me. I thought, "shit there has been a curfew announced while I was working and they will take me away...!"
But they ran straight past me and trained their lights on the dark waters of the river. Then I noticed Police on the far bank, more wailing sirens, ambulance and then helicoptor.
Self isolation had clearly got too much for some poor soul...
Yes I agree. The strain socially and economically the longer this goes on will lead to escalating suicides, mental health deterioration, alcohol abuse, domrstic violence etc etc.
The scales will tip at some point and Covid deaths will be accomodated into our collective narrative as we ease back to normal life out of sheer necessity, then a vaccine.
But no Barney; infection statistics are NOT worrying. What is worrying is that people are ignoring the fact that the vast majority of infections simply clear up. In China 3,300 dead - total. That's no more serious than a sneeze. For God's sake do not fall for Media Hype; it's bad enough that Governments (and masses of stupid punters) do. The consequences of over reaction are FAR worse than the fatality caused by this trivial virus.
