:covid_19: 😷 šŸ„ Corona Virus the thread for all your fears ā“

Seems lacking in energy, and much like Matt Hancock, appears to be a rabbit in headlights. Nearly all these people have what you’d call a very decent education up to a point.

However, the majority of them were on PPE courses, which seems a particularly ill-suited degree given the other use of the abbreviation and our lack of it.

I am posting this here as a bit of a reminder… could go anywhere, but had to hear this in nearly 20 years… yet just as relevant really.

It’s almost as if having had a job, or 7, mixed with ā€˜normal people’ gone to a ā€˜normal’ school and been socially comfortable witn all classes might stand you in good stead to talk to and relate to people. Odd.

Shocking. Not counted and barely mentioned.

ā€œThe state has abdicated its responsibility for providing care over recent decades. The private sector may have filled this gap but it consistently puts profits before people,ā€ said Harry Quilter-Pinner, a senior research fellow at the IPPR and co-author of the report.’’

The assumption was that care home stats were being included. I posted on this the other day, but there is a care home in Wavertree that has lost 13 of its residents.

Fucking hell.

Is Boris still in really good spirits? I can’t find out anywhere… anyone??

We’ve got neighbours two doors down that are flouting the social distancing rules.

They run an informal plant and flower business on Facebook (we think) and there is a steady stream of punters turning up, parking, knocking the door, exchanging money and buying plants.

When we were out giving the clap to the NHS last night, my nextdoor neighbour that lives next to the plant seller tells me that some of these punters come in and poke around the garden for ages. Plus she still has contract gardeners coming each week to do the gardening for her.

I’m not a snitch BUT this is getting on my tits - mainly because three of the occupants of the house have enormous health challenges. Regular readers may remember me describing how myself and a neighbour kept the husband alive with CPR until the first responder arrived - his pacemaker now keeps him alive.

My nextdoor neighbour is also in a vulnerable group and his wife is very frail and has liver problems.

Think I need to show them this video.

Now he’s heard that his dad, contrary to the advice for the rest of us, has travelled safely to his second home in Devon, I’m told Boris is sitting up, in good spirits and calculating whether he can risk impregnating the nurse who is tending to him, without alienating the public.

Don’t be a snitch. Kill one of them. Leave the body in a bag of compost with the head sticking out on their front doorstep. That’ll stop any further visits.

I hope he’s gone around the nursing team and shaken everyone’s hand…

I just hope we’ll get an update on his spirits on sky sports breaking news, continuously for most of the day.

He’s got a point though mate. As you say you ain’t no fuckin’ grass… so you’ll have to deal with it in ā€˜other ways’. Just stick a daffodil out of each eye socket, send that message, just like you did in Nam’ back in 72.

More from Andy Holt on the death of football - ie the EFL and the never ending & growing costs

I’ve been really tempted to ā€œshopā€ my C-i-L got to the point of filling out the online form but just couldn’t press the button.

If it was me personally I would shop them, irresponsible fuckers…

Operation last gasp. Not so funny now eh ! The man is a complete tool.
