Stay the fcuk at home (will offend some)

[enzed4]

Thank you Bing for the kind words.

We are struggling to accept the low numbers allowed at the prospective funeral.

Strange times.

My condolences AnilS; hard to find the right words on such an occasion.
And thank you also, Bing. You've voiced my thoughts more eloquently than I could have.

As a contributor to this thread I should have offered my condolences AnilS which I do now albeit a little too late. I guess it got a little crazy, no excuses though.

I held my dads hand when he died, just him and I in his bedroom which was peaceful and I’m so glad I was there, so to read you and your family’s situation is very sad, I truly do feel for you.

You sound a believer so may your God bless you all.

[ref]AnilS[/ref], nothing anyone can add to that my friend.
Thank you for saying it.

Thank you. Virtual goodwill messages are always welcome. There are some truly lovely people on the forums.

When this is all over, whenever that may be, I'd like to join a meet, look back on it and laugh about it fondly. Let's hope that is sooner rather than later. :sweetheart:

That is truly heart rendering, I'm so sorry your family couldn't be with a family member in person at one of the most awful times, brings it home the effects this is having.

I'm glad some of the horror events are emerging now, I feel there has been too much focus on most people will just suffer mild affects which yes is good but also no it isn't because people will dismiss the virus and pass it onto others for whom it's deadly serious. I watched on the news a chap saying about his father who had just passed away and said this virus can be vicious and fast in its effects and some people can deteriorate very quickly.

Let's all pray this passess soon.

Tim.

This is the nightmare we can’t wake from.

 

[AnilS]

Thank you Tim.

This is the nightmare we can’t wake from.

Just hunker down and wait for the vaccine Ronk, it’ll come in time. Sadly too late for lots obviously but it will get made. Have you applied for priority online food deliveries as I “Think” I’m correct in saying the over 75’s have that..?

 

[idej_z4]

going out for excercise should be banned

Tim.

Get a grip will you :roll: i'm no gym freak & i don't run or cycle but why would someone exercising increase virus contamination to others ?
I go out daily for approx 2 hrs to exercise myself & my two dogs , my sole aim as it was before this lockdown is to avoid other humans ( i am self diagnosed misanthropic )

The big issue i see here is the massive grey area the government have created .

Why should i sit behind my 4 walls frightened to venture out in case of police intervention or worse still forum scrutiny when its ok for thousands to cram themselves on the tube each morning + evening ? or watch countless Amazon deliveries being made to my neighbours every day ? that's just two examples , i could list many more equally ridiculous scenarios i know for a fact are happening each & every day .

I could actually be at work , i'm a sub contractor self employed with work to go to but i made a decision last Monday evening to follow the government advice & distance myself by staying home & reducing the amount of contact i have with others to a minimum .
If that means nipping out for some some supplies ( including chocolate , Guiness or anything else that some deem as not a necessity ) in whatever car i choose taking whichever route i choose then i will but i'l do it with the very minimal of contact with others & with careful planning to minimise the number of outings .

The pompous self righteous attitudes of some on here right now is starting to wear a bit thin , life will go on afterwards & it needs to go on during , we all have opinions on the situation & that's good but don't judge everyone who dares move through their front door the same .
Its about common sense & consideration , pity there isn't a lot of either right now .

Totally agree - well said Andy!

AnilS, this doesn't apply directly to you, and please accept my condolences.

I want to pose a question though. Why is it not OK to drive out to an open space in my own car and go for a walk when the nearest person is around 1 mile away,
BUT,
Running out to the middle of the street with every one of my neighbours (at close range, maybe less than 5 metres) and clapping the NHS is perfectly reasonable?
PLEASE, someone explain this logic.
But, before anyone jumps on the NHS comment, I of course applaud the NHS. I have no problem with that. Just in my own house.

 

[john-e89]

I think it’s because if you have an accident you’re taking up much needed resources. If you did have one, as low a possibility as that is, you’d be about as welcome in A&E as a rattlesnake in a lucky dip. Plus you’ve sooooooo much more chance of spreading the thing around, not welcome in a hospital or ambulance.

Just answering the question, not an opinion on what anyone should or shouldn’t do.

And if I just walk out my back gate to open fields?

My understanding is that if you went to hospital, you'd be almost guaranteed CV-19.

Oooh no! Flash floods! Bolts of lightning! Anything could happen out there.

 

[Z4C_er]

Anyway, I hope all the hardcore S.T.F.A.H. members here are also mad enough to contact their MP to put pressure on China for some compensation for this mess.
I have not seen anything like this before, and it's toll on people, mentally, financially, socially will be beyond our current understanding.
Their backward ways have effectively shut Countries down.
Untold trillions of dollars lost.

AnilS - Thank you for sharing this and being so clear and honest about the impact on your family. I lost my father 40 years ago and the only advice I can give you is to allow the grieving process to take its own time and don't be afraid to let your emotions out - everyone is different and sometimes it comes at you unexpectedly, even years later. Don't bottle it up like I did

I'd suggest this is essential reading for those who have any lingering doubts.

Didn't think of that! Thanks.
But I didn't mean to fun of this subject. I think it's serious, and there are people here with very passionate views. I'm the sort of person that if something doesn't seem logical or make sense, I'll question it.
Like the NHS clapping vs open field walking scenario for instance.

I think the simple reason is that some are not reasonable, but instead reliant on the direction of the government and experts to tell them how to exist. Boris is just doing his usual trick of waiting for public opinion to form then jumping on the bandwagon, the experts are doing what they usually do and give out the advice they've been paid to give to make their client happy.

 

[TitanTim]

I don't particularly need the Government or experts to tell me how to exists but any sensible person with a brain could see how the pandemic was and now is panning out in this country. I don't feel I particularly have to play the rebel and be the anti establishment type because the Government have told us to stay at home and only venture out if absolutely necessary. Personally I feel it's my duty to keep me safe and others rather than throwing my dummy out the pram because I cant go for a cycle ride or pleasure drive or whatever it may be.

Tim.

The point is being sensitive about it. You’ve made your decision and position clear, that’s up to you, same as it’s up to everyone else how they decide to interpret what’s safe.
You don’t need to keep banging on about it, sticking two fingers up and slyly keep mocking those who decide they want to do things as set out.
There’s people suffering losses in their family and hardship at the moment, it hasn’t affected you yet well great, good for you, but have some respect for those that it has.
