Coronavirus

In my experience (my parents) there was no glory from WW2. Father rarely spoke about what he saw; the stink of dead animals, piled up, that the Germans had killed as they retreated, the kindliness of the starving Dutch, the fact that the Germans were just like us when we reached Germany and hadn't got 'horns growing out of their heads (devils) like we were lead to believe'.
Mother: the fact you could see Cov burning from Tamworth and she didn't like 'the brash yanks'. The fact that my father had aged about ten years in two years,....not a whole lot of glory there...I digress

This is going to be the reason the Country struggles to cope when this gets extended. For some reason it doesn't take much for people to get angry with the Police, so if a few are being reported as going over the top, then it won't take long before it is seen as all of them and then it won't take long for the angry voices on Social Media start getting everyone wound up and then they hit the streets.

Tricky one I suppose,if the lockdown gets more severe,I'd be quite happy for police to truncheon idiots in the face,if they won't go home,or insist on having parties and getting pissed,trouble is,as stated above,it just builds resentment,then you have the idiots looting and rioting,strangely I think the first things to be looted will be supermarket Online food delivery vans,then onto the usual 60" TVs and adidas trainers from sports direct

If the lockdown gets more severe and the risk of civil disturbance rises. the more it does, so does the likelihood of troops on the streets.

It's weird because I'm quite-to-very left leaning, but I'm all for army/police precence on the streets keeping people in line at times like this. Don't be a twat and you won't get truncheoned in the face is quite a simple rule. Obviously I'm talking about the potential looting etc, not people having two walks :icon_lol:

Caught a glimpse of my full profile in the mirror in the Aldi lift this morning and I reckon I've put on a stone since this all began.

That's why i thought i was anorexic, I was constantly looking in mirrors and thinking I was fat !

Using this as a period to eat healthy and do plenty of exercise! Was steady losing weight since Xmas but now stepped it up a bit.

I've adjusted portion sizes, as I'm doing less physically, and also to stretch out what we have to keep the journeys outside as minimal as possible. Also drinking a hell of a lot more water.

Keeping occupied prevents snacking etc.

On the mental health thread I mentioned my lists. They're proving to be a life saver, as I am noting down all sorts of things (even relatively meaningless stuff) as things to do, which is keeping my mind and time occupied.

 

[lemonjelly]

also, should sir patrick vallance still be doing the conferences? Just wondering, as he would have had contact with boris, hancock, whitty etc?

Mrs Lupo works in M&S Food so still goes out to work every day so every day at about 1.15 i walk down town to meet her and walk back which constitutes my one trip out for exercise per day

There's a lift in your local Aldi? There's barely a car park at mine.

Any idea who is doing the press conference at 5 today?

 

[Sniffer]

367 more deaths in England announced today.

I think that is 393 for the whole of the UK in the last 24 hours.

It's because you're using the lift.
