But the effects of SARS are not exactly unknown (there’s a clue in the name). Arsing around with concerns about spoiling Christmas was not the way to go. The graph I posted upthread showed exactly what happens when the rules are relaxed prematurely, but no - a bunch gobshites worried about re-election know better. Over here they’re just venal twats; Johnson and co. I suspect have a more cynical motive: let’s distract everyone from You-Know-What (and whenever some part of YKW goes tits-up, it’ll down to COVID)
Wouldn’t particularly disagree with any of that. I am also not sure whether something that looked likely to kill the tiresomely expensive elderly in large numbers wasn’t seen by some as having a significant upside until it became clear how (relatively) slowly and expensively it did it and what the knock-on effect was for more popular sad-face stuff.
My round, what’ll you have?
But in fairness, no one forced the eejits to mix in quantity over Christmas.
Dan Patrick, Texas’ Republican lieutenant governor, on Monday night suggested that he and other grandparents would be willing to risk their health and even lives in order for the United States to “get back to work” amid the coronavirus pandemic.
At a private engagement at the end of February, Cummings outlined the government’s strategy. Those present say it was “herd immunity, protect the economy and if that means some pensioners die, too bad”.
Tescoid was full of huge amounts of fizzy pop and sweets and crisps all spaced out trying to look like a decent supermarket
Precious few veg and just sparsely stocked shelves
And mostly retired folk like us all wearing masks and keeping two trolleys length away
There was a lovely couple looking at deep fat fryers and we told them that the one we got is perfect for two people
We met them again in a queue for the check out
The lady remembered she had forgotten to buy oil so the Bull was able to dash back and get the oil we use for them
They were so grateful
It just felt good to talk to other people
Then I had zoom baking class and we put a curried sweet potato chickpea and chicken baked rice together
Umm I went off piste and threw my own masala together being that way inclined
All sitting ready to go in the oven for dinner
I bless my friend who gave me 3 le crueset alike casserole dishes for things like that
She knows I love cooking so she bought them for me as a gift
