Mate ive just had to have a long discussion explaining why I dont think we should go out for a meal tomorrow for the missus birthday.

Fell on deaf ears, morons mate, I aint going.

But im very selfish, im a smoker, on blood pressure meds and hardly in my prime, I doubt it ends well if I get it, also had a pretty nasty chest infection for the last 3 months which defo wont help.

Look after yourself joey

Sure am in isolation as from tomorrow public wise used to it anyway as a Billy no mates
I live away from my family anyway, and my illnesses restrict me going out in normal anyway....

The science behind it works with a vaccine.

Trying to do it with COVID-19 would just be manslaughter by the government.

Not really.

Herd immunity, whether it happens now or in 12 months is the only thing which will allow humanity to return to normality. A vaccine is not close.

Yes and you cannot use herd immunity with COVID-19 before the vaccine arrives without signing off the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people.

Here we go. My favourite source of information has made an 8 minute video on the pandemic:



I recommend everybody watches it.

They cover:

• What the virus is
• How enters the body
• What it infects & how
• How the immune system can struggle with it
• The symptoms and outcomes
• How it differs to flu
• How social distancing/quarantine will help
• The importance of washing your hands with soap

Urm self isolating tomorrow, as a risk case with my illness problems, but as for you puffing and panting on your run, and those golfers - I thought this record may remind you of what might be in the air -

Top tune that Joey.

I grew up to the sounds of the Hollies as my mum is a massive fan

The Tube this morning on reduced service but not everyone can work from home and are required to go to work:

I’ve just been for my morning run and there’s as many people out walking and with their dogs as you normally see at the weekend.

Everyone keeping a respectful,
but polite distance from each other.

Loads of fellas on the golf course playing golf and doing the same.

It seems to me that the message is getting through to at least some of the people.

The supermarkets are a different matter altogether though.

Safest place to be, in all honesty, aside from inside your house, is on the golf course. Lots of open space

Both climbing walls I go to now closed. Found one that’s still open so will try and get there Sunday if they’re still open. Gym is still open but they’ll probably cave to pressure soon enough

 

[blue to the bone]

I treated myself to proper boss tickets for this as well.
Obviously cancelled the hotel this morning along with everyone else no doubt and that will have a knock on effect.

Small things like this even though on the grand scheme of things are not important really disappoint me . Love the worlds every year.

Either that or on a mountain somewhere.

The self isolation thing really seems to be confusing people for some reason.

Coronavirus: Social distancing needs to be in place for most of a year, say government advisers
Social distancing restrictions need to be in place for "at least most of a year", according to scientists advising the government.

One of my mates owns a climbing gym here in Pittsburgh. Not sure how he's going to survive this without government intervention.

They were printing money two weeks ago
