COVID - general discussion - Temp Locked

That may have a smidgen of truth but there are some pretty far fetched beliefs floating around IMO. However, at present, it is for each to make their mind up and to consider their own situation. 

When I am offered the injection I will accept. Not necessarily for my sake but certainly for OH's sake and peace of mind. If I lived on my own I might well not. 

 

Was hoping to post a very funny goodbye to 2020 last night, but couldn’t get my act together to copy the link. But, this interesting parody artist and his family are very interesting, have been keeping lock down Australia entertained. The first clip was done for Mother’s Day, and worth a watch, but the second, a homage to Frank Sinatra sums up 2020 for me.........

The cakes look good as well.....

It wasn’t so much tougher back in the day, more like the young basically had no Human rights the Adults could do what they wanted short of murder. I’m so glad it is history too. Victorian attitudes have no value outside the Victorian era with Victorian attitudes.

Been having  a WhatsApp conversation with a cousin in London. We concluded that most UK folks are so far removed from the the reality of facing killer diseases such as Diptheria, Typhoid, Polio, etc......, and you have to be a good age to have lived through the Nazi’s flinging bombs at you, so the risk of death on a daily basis just doesn’t happen for most nowadays.

Hence, a few folks don’t know how to act, how to behave, how to cope, how in fact to think clearly beyond individual needs. We don’t have laws, restrictions, guidance in place as a matter of course like some other Nations do, nor is our usual Governmental regime anything that impinges overly much on our day to day freedom’s, unless you are a criminal. So the default reaction for some is to cry “shame, dictatorship, it’s not fair”. Just needs more thought, more looking longer term, taking on board that spoonful of advice. I don’t think some of the decision takers, and front of TV podium deliverers (political one’s) have helped, in fact they are part of the problem, but it’s what we have, and still needs listening to, even if through gritted teeth.

Best advice? 

I am one who never grew up David. I am terrified of needles and hyperventilate 

Hate blood tests also despite having had plenty. And yet I have calmly sterilised a Stanley Knife to cut a metal fragment out of my shoulder. 

Felt sorry for an army squaddie on last visit. They had two chairs going. I was sweating in one trying to relax for the needle. Young muscled squaddie sat in the next chair apparently blasé. Poor lad passed out like a light. Yes I know it is ridiculous. When I was in hospital aged 40 for an orchiectomy for testicular cancer;  A nurse came into my side room after the op and said that the doctor had prescribed morphine as he knew that I would be in a deal of pain. I said know, I am in pain I'll mentally block it. 

Happy New Year

But in those days it worked   ,look what has happened with the refusal of the  parents  of some of the children when it was, as now, false information,  that was taken as gospel by some parents with the MMR vacine,

It does show how gullible some of the population are when they take the TV soaps as real life

 There is little chance when anything that is put out on some social media is all true with some of the population
