One of which killed over 1 million people a century ago.

 

Doesn't seem to induce panic in people any more though. Imagine that.

So in a hundred years we will be ok with Covid-19? Ironic that you won't need to worry about Covid-19 in the year 2119.

The century ago and advances in medicine might be a reason for that. Just throwing it out there. Might sound crazy like. 

Also familiarity.

Jesus Christ, at that rate the guts of 10% of Americans have this virus and fuck knows how many have had it. 

 

I'm guessing we're about to see if this whole "herd immunity" thing is really a thing aren't we

Scary shit. Mine just went to my lungs I think, they never mentioned my legs in hospital.

Since we left hospital we've begun using Tesco click and collect due to us both cocooning since the Operation. Family go in and collect it for us. Its an excellent service. I think we're going to continue it for the forseeable future as my wife will want to minimise any risk of transmitting anything to me by going in herself once she's recovered fully.

I see India has become the third most infectious nation after Brazil and the U.S.  Given the huge population there I guess it will probably overtake them both soon. Scary shit.

Coronavirus drops to Page 2. It's over in the UK for now.

The usual suspects still trying to start a ruckus over mask wearing despite all polling showing the UK public is overwhelmingly in favour of it.

 

Don't think they’re going to get the reaction here they get in the states which is clearly what they’re going for.

Went to the shops this morning and I was in a small minority of people wearing a mask.

 

I'm sure since they announced that masks were going to be compulsory, less people have started wearing them! Sums up the mentality of people in this country.

Inside. A few months ago i'd say it was about 50/50. Now its nowhere that. There is definitely a feeling that the virus is over in this country.

Or that people have just had enough of it all now and just want to get back to normality ?

Aah right, got to be honest I won't be wearing one outside, inside fair do's!

I've not noted more than 20% coverage up here, except where mandated by law. Liverpool people know a racket when they see one.
