Corona Virus

Stand by your beds: BJ is addressing the nation at 8.30.

Lockdown a racing certainty I reckon.

I'm waiting with bated breath.

No, skully, not a BJ at 8:30.

Read Basil's post again, more carefully.

Lockdown official. Food shops open and that's about it. Travelling to work okay only if home working not possible.

Cheers Bas.

Mrs B and I are both "keyworkers", although not frontline. Sadly, not enough laptops to go round.

Stay as safe as you can folks. Meanwhile this made me laugh in a gallows humour kind of way.

Well done, h.

Some much needed levity.

What a disaster the docking of the cruise ships in NSW has proven to be. Most of the new cases emanate from there and we're all suffering because of it. What idiots went on a cruise after the Diamond Princess disaster anyway?

And still people don't get social distancing. Have just done a food shop - people just stand in the middle of the aisle, gazing inanely at the empty shelves. Bunch of winkers.

Yeah. I had to shop yesterday and had to remind numerous people to stay their distance, especially in the queues.

Covid-19 just has to explode in India and surrounding countries - no?

Jesus people!! How about some commonsense??

I see everyone from Warnie to TV hosts to media outlets are blaming ScoMo for confusion on what do to.

FFS, use your brains, people. Stay home, away from others. Exercise good hygiene. QED.

So everyone is scared enough to panic-buy essentials, but their not scared enough to self-isolate. FFS people - really??

What are we - a race of sheep that needs to be spoon-fed and told what to do??? Wake up, folks!!

The sheep that ransack, hoard and knowingly infect.

There are going to be problems with sociopaths and quite different sets of problems with some people in the community with cognitive disorders who lack cognitive skills to avoid risk.

This morning I remembered an issue during the AIDS crisis. in the late 80s. I was working in mental health. There was one guy with AIDS who was a sociopath and schizophrenia. One of the problems with this guy was he was sexually safe when psychotic, but when the meds kicked in he was sane, abjectly irresponsible and wilfully sexually active.

"Kick drugs"
