Three more weeks

The UK's coronavirus lockdown will continue for at least another 3 weeks.

Acting leader Dominic Raab announced on Thursday that it would be extended until early-May.

This means Brits will continue to be barred from leaving their homes apart from a limited number of essential activities.

The vast majority of businesses will also continue to be closed.
One scientific adviser to the government, Sir Jeremy Farrar, warned this week that the UK could end up as the worst-hit country in Europe from the coronavirus.

“Wouldn’t be so bad if there was some humour in it.”

To quote POV, now you know how we feel...

Here are the official Coronavirus guidelines:

1. Basically, you can't leave the house for any reason, but if you have to, then you can.

2. Masks are useless, but maybe you have to wear one, it can save you, it is useless, but maybe it is mandatory as well.

3. Stores are closed, except those that are open.

4. You should not go to hospitals unless you have to go there. Same applies to doctors, you should only go there in case of emergency, provided you are not too sick.

5. This virus is deadly but still not too scary, except that sometimes it actually leads to a global disaster.

6. Gloves won't help, but they can still help.

7. Everyone needs to stay HOME, but it's important to GO OUT.

8. There is no shortage of groceries in the supermarket, but there are many things missing when you go there in the evening, but not in the morning. Sometimes.

9. The virus has no effect on children except those it affects.

10. Animals are not affected, but there is still a cat that tested positive in Belgium in February when no one had been tested, plus a few tigers here and there…

11. You will have many symptoms when you are sick, but you can also get sick without symptoms, have symptoms without being sick, or be contagious without having symptoms.

12. In order not to get sick, you have to eat well and exercise, but eat whatever you have on hand and it's better not to go out, well, but no…

13. It's better to get some fresh air, but you get looked at very wrong when you get some fresh air, and most importantly, you don't go to parks or walk. But don’t sit down, except that you can do that now if you are old, but not for too long or if you are pregnant (but not too old).

14. You can't go to retirement homes, but you have to take care of the elderly and bring food and medication.

15. If you are sick, you can't go out, but you can go to the pharmacy.

16. You can get restaurant food delivered to the house, which may have been prepared by people who didn't wear masks or gloves. But you have to have your groceries decontaminated outside for 3 hours. Pizza too?

17. Every disturbing article or disturbing interview starts with " I don't want to trigger panic, but…"

18. You can't see your older mother or grandmother, but you can take a taxi and meet an older taxi driver.

19. You can walk around with a friend but not with your family if they don't live under the same roof.

20. You are safe if you maintain the appropriate social distance, but you can’t go out with friends or strangers at the safe social distance.

21. The virus remains active on different surfaces for two hours, no, four, no, six, no, we didn't say hours, maybe days? But it takes a damp environment. Oh no, not necessarily.

22. The virus stays in the air - well no, or yes, maybe, especially in a closed room, in one hour a sick person can infect ten, so if it falls, all our children were already infected at school before it was closed. But remember, if you stay at the recommended social distance, however in certain circumstances you should maintain a greater distance, which, studies show, the virus can travel further, maybe.

23. We count the number of deaths but we don't know how many people are infected as we have only tested so far those who were "almost dead" to find out if that's what they will die of…

24. We have no treatment, except that there may be one that apparently is not dangerous unless you take too much (which is the case with all medications).

25. We should stay locked up until the virus disappears, but it will only disappear if we achieve collective immunity, so when it circulates… but we must no longer be locked up for that?

I don’t like filtering mate but there’s only so much tedium and piish a man can take.

Wouldn’t be so bad if there was some humour in it.

Just soul destroying.
==============================

Ginger, it’s the same reason i filtered the cant. He has a disturbing fascination with EVERYTHING you post.
We’ve had to endure some fkn beauts on here over the years, but his unique brand of negativity is something else. He must surely know this site is not for him as nobody engages him.

Weirdo.

Fook knows what PS would enforce?

The thing about not decorating a room is plain daft. It keeps you in as opposed to the fence repair that keeps you out!

Knock-knock - I was proceeding in an orderly manner when I noticed you decorating your front room, sir, you're nicked.

Three more weeks.............?

The economic sanctions put in place for many years that follow will far exeed the impact of this germ.
Then take the time to ask yourself why?
