ICTChris Posted March 20, 2020 Author Share Posted March 20, 2020 We are going to stop having my wife’s mother around and are going to go and meet her in a public space rather than have people round the house. Think we are going to go and meet in a big wide space like a park or place to walk. She is 65 and isn’t in a high risk category. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kneal Down Caster Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 People getting paid more to sit at home than a lot of NHS workers on the frontline earn will leave a bitter taste. I would like to think that there will be (stop laughing at the back) a goodwill bonus to those in the frontline that have put others before themselves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) My older brother got married a year ago, to a woman he had been with for 17 years. They separated towards the end of the year and are living apart. He jumped on Tinder and met some bird from Mexico. They have been talking via video every day for a couple of hours. She flew in yesterday and is now with him in Dunfermline. They're going to see my parents on Sunday. They turned 60 (same birthday; indeed born on the same ward just hours apart) at the end of December. My maw is, to be blunt, an alcoholic, and thus has high blood pressure for which she takes some mad tablets. The old man has type 2 diabetes and the resultant high blood pressure, and has been taking a bunch of tablets for years. He was rushed to hospital in December after nearly dying. Turns out he has chronic lymphocytic leukeamia. Daft old dick was feeling shit for days, and maw was telling him to get to the doctors, but he was being a stubborn old tit and it wasn't until he was near death and couldn't get out of bed that he thought he should get to the hospital. 4 blood transfusions later and he was doing pretty good. Saw him on his birthday and he was remarkably well. He had 4 sessions of targeted chemotherapy recently and it has done a lot of good, to the extent that he's pretty mucj back to normal (save for the eventually terminal cancer!). He and the maw were at the Scotland England and Scotland France games (aye, he's a rugby guy and was in the navy, so f**k knows what foul pints he's downed and how many balls he's gargled). I have declined the invitation to join them on Sunday. Also a bit annoyed at them all for the obvious risk. My younger brother and his husband likewise declined. They were stranded in Vegas earlier in the week and are being sensible and isolating for a week, even though they both feel fine (although their cat died recently and they were a LOT of pictures and a eulogy on Facebook).

Billy Jean King Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Dundee v Hearts cica 1986 I was pondering a question Mrs Poz asked. I said to her that this weekend, I might watch my DVD of the 2013 League Cup final. She asked what other games I could watch in their entirety again. If it didn’t involve St Mirren, I’d go for the 1970 World Cup Final and Liverpool v AC Milan in Istanbul. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorlomin Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) The options are for the UK seem to be 1) we have waves of lock downs and lessening of restrictions to manage the pressure on hospitals till a vaccine is developed mid next year. 2) A cure is discovered that massively alleviates the risks in the next 6-12 months. And the lock downs are no longer needed. 3) We go on super lock down and trace every case and possible contacts and eliminate the disease in the UK inside about 3 months with very severe restrictions on international travel in and out till the vaccines arrive. 4) (not going to happen) We swallow the death rate. Two weeks ago the suggestion of London on lockdown would have been laughed at. One clown who posted just above me mocked the idea that SARS CoV 2 was a pandemic 3 weeks ago. Other laughing about it being a bad flu. This is our lives for the next 12-18 months. Millions will die from this disease. America may be very hard hit but some countries in Africa have perhaps 10% of the population with tuberculosis and others with maybe 20% with HIV. This is going to get very fucking real for the people least able to get help. Some c***s were laughing when the first UK case died, "pre-existing conditions" and other comments, hundreds of thousands to millions of our population fit that bill. This is real. It is not a drill. Good luck and best wishes to all in Scotland and all who read this. (Actually all P&Bers). Social distancing and good hygiene will help slow the spread and may save the life of someone you love.

Bairnardo Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 There must have been bog roll in Asda Stenhousenuir, which has by all accounts been a zombie battleground all week, as I seen a lady with some in her bag in the chippy earlier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
