NYCat Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 17 minutes ago, MDM said: And in other news, police in Suffolk are looking for a man the local media are now terming "The Outlaw". He is considered to be extremely dangerous and should not be approached as he is likely to start an argument that has no resolution and he may be unknowingly infected with Covid-19. He can be easily recognised as he may be wearing only women's underwear (believed to be his wife's knickers) and some strange headgear. He is likely to be carrying a camera. He has been recently sighted in the vicinity of village churches throughout the region. It is not known if this is for religious reasons. If you see him, you should probably hide as there is no chance of getting through to the police who are completely overwhelmed trying to keep up with the legislation and controlling others like The Outlaw.

Imagine for a second that you are one of the really unfortunate ones who develop this to a critical degree. Would you really want to spend your last days arguing over this or anything else that in the greater scheme of things is completely trivial? Time for some fun guys. to me the heaviest burden remains imagining that i was or will be carrying the virus asymptomatic and ended up causing irreparable harm to someone's loved one, because of my actions to go take some images. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan Bell Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Milton Country Park is closed. Gates closed and chained up. I can only think that it is because a lot of the paths through the park are quite narrow and people would have to be closer than 2 metres to pass. Usually when I walk around the park I hardly see anyone. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Rooney Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 It seems this bug does not distinguish between royals, PMs, and ordinary folk. Let's try to go a bit easy on Boris. He's trying to run the country and he's ill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the sidewalks are not at all wide and sometimes people step off to walk along the street so as to not pass closely. Not everyone, of course, but the vast majority are taking care.

Allan Bell Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 This should be under a new heading but ------ "Is this taking things too far." In our village it is quite blustery and down near the river there is a good wind. So I went for a walk to get some fresh air remembering to stay 2 metres away from others. It crossed my mind that it would be better to stay upwind of the people I passed so I was not breathing in their expelled air too. Allan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alright for you, potentially not so good for them. Unless you hold your breath as you walk by too. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I wasn't a fan of Legault before this. The guy next door is doing a lot better second time around. I think it has something to do with the beard. 🧔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Brooks Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 When you hear about dead people because of a shortage of ventilators, or the death of a middle age father to 3 kids, or when you see the video of the large refrigerated truck backed up to the hospital, when you hear about the crematoriums running overtime, when you hear about people passing alone without family, because they are in isolation. All of these things are happening right now. Think about what has been said in this thread, and remember who said it. Freedom of speech is a basic right, but there is a responsibility that comes with that right. 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
