Corona Virus

Sorry to hear this sad news on top of losing your Mum, I hope all goes well tomorrow mate.

 

Terrible that Steve, my thoughts and sympathies are with you marra,
Dont think anybody on here can seriously underestimate this bloody virus and its effects on all of us, we all know this is early days and at the moment tiny steps ahead for the lot of us just to see what going to happen, kinda cant spend your life locked down but best be sensible when your out there,
What I cant understand is the constant adverts and the bloody annoying appearances of so called celeb's all with there own messages, this shit is so sole destroying and not helping folk IMHO, kind of a water torture wish they would just stick to the important updates only and cut the rest of the crap out, its just rubbing salt into wounds and I believe not helping folk relax and deal with the current situation.

 

So sorry to read of your family's losses @Wessa. Nothing I can say will ease your grief but I hope you all can stay strong for each other. Best wishes for tomorrow mate!

 

Sorry to hear it Steve, again thoughts are with you and your family.

 

So sorry to hear more bad news. Stay strong today Steve. I’ll be thinking of you.

 

I'm moved by the love and support from all my friends on the forum at this difficult time, this is appreciated. I look forward to be able to share a beer with some of you in the future

 

Steve, best wishes, sorry to hear your news,so soon after your mother passing, God bless.

 

Typical!! That’ll be one pint of tetleys and 18 straws please!

 

Hey you know us pensioners need to watch our pennies

 

here's some good news, reinfection unlikely, long term immunity likely, the virus is slow to mutate. Sounds like we won't be living with this virus forevermore.

 

Some researchers are suggesting that the virus may have been in the UK since September. If that is the case, then might it explain all the persistent coughs and flu like symptoms people were experiencing in December and January? - It might turn out that most people are already immune... time will tell I suppose

I think that's more wishful thinking, given that it wasn't having a major impact until Feb/March......

 

Ahh, shite, @Wessa. I am very late to this thread and to your post with your tragic news. I'm so sorry to read about now not only your mum but also your father-in-law. My deepest sympathies to you and to your family. Thinking of you during this terribly sad time.

 

I came back off holiday from Cannary Islands beginning of Feb, had flu like symptoms for just over a week, was thinking it may have been CV afterwards. It wasn’t, I actually contracted CV in late April, no doubt as I was tested, the only way you will ever know for sure is if you are tested either when you have symptoms or they release the antibody test, until then don’t assume anything.

 

Well, it seems that the drive through McDonald’s have just reopened in my area, was out and about yesterday and passed two f them, must of been a queue of at least 40 cars down the road outside each of them. How sad!

 

Same thing happened when KFC opened in Basingstoke - even made the local news. How sad is your life if you're craving that tasteless shite!

 

I am with you there Jez, KFC & good old fish & chips are the only fast foods I like

 

We have a rather good KFC here. Definitely not tasteless and the coating is always lovely and crispy. I had one once in Minnesota and it was horrible. Greasy chicken and soggy coating, it put me off KFC for ages after that.
But the best fried chicken I’ve ever had was in South Korea in Seoul. That was absolutely delicious.

 

Was having dirty fried chicken cravings so thought i'd have a go at home.
I'm going to be back to Prop weight and more by the end of this.

 

Sorry mate, badly constructed sentence as I was referring to Macdonald's that crispey mentioned in his post. Now that really is tasteless shite!
