Calm before the storm

I've actually enjoyed lock down Its changed my way of thinking and hopefully I'll be a better person for the experience.

Yet spare a thought for the less well off. The first story got me.

The first one got me too, I couldn't read any more. Heart breaking.

So far it's been a picnic for those off work who have not been affected either personally or family and friends. But I think we are going to be in for a big shock in the next few months. Lack of work or even no work. I just hope we can all ride this recession.

The coming recession, if there is one at all, won't be a fraction as bad as is being predicted, just like this disease hasn't been as bad as predicted. Stay safe people, don't listen to the BBC.

How many people dead??

Unknown. Don't believe official figures on anything. Keep the television turned off. Why is it not affecting supermarket staff if it's so virulent?

 

[Bodd]

I'm not watching alot. Fed up with it all. I hope your right I really do. I won't hold my breath...

The country is a total. Disgrace imo

They spend billions on nuclear weapons proggramme

Billions on a space programme

Whilst millions live in complete poverty
Basic things like leccy
Running water
Drainage

Are denied to millions

I'm guessing this Country is India.

Yes I looked at the link, awful tragedies, but they died from the lockdown, not from the virus. The circumstances those people live in make a mockery of what the loony left call "poverty" in our country.

What I've enjoyed about the lockdown is the peace and quiet caused by the lack of motor traffic. Younger people don't know what us oldies are moaning about when we talk about noise, traffic, rowdy behaviour etc, because that's the only world they have known, whereas we have known a better world. Now that "they" have seen a bit of that better world it might make them think differently.

Or will they just go back to their Audis with a vengeance?

All the same it's tragic.

There should not be any poverty in a Country as rich as ours.
