Pinched this from another forum, but can't help but feel that the lad is onto something...
"I had been thinking that it was pointless commenting about this whole virus-mania anymore. The conversation just goes around in a never ending circle of doom and "experts". I thought I'll just have to watch our society constantly shooting itself in the foot over and over again. But try as I might, I can't. The "experts" keep contradicting each other, the media keep throwing petrol on an already out of control fire, and various politicians keep trying to "out-nice-person" each other with ever more claims that lockdown (aka stay at home and get paid by the government indefinitely) must remain in place "in case we get a second wave" that will kill more people than a comet crashing into the earths surface at 6 billion mph.
Then the article further down the page made me burst out laughing - even having sex passes on coronavirus. Is there anything that Coronavirus won't do, ffs? :lol: Will it infect our computers too? Will it lead to global warming (or a reduction in global warming)? Will it end poverty, destroy cancer, make your career, win the Premier league, stop queue jumping, fix broken washing machines, have a no1 hit named after it, be a career move, end your career, lead to everlasting peace but finally, kill the entire human race? Its possible to find virtually ANY story you like with a "coronavirus" theme in the media now. One expert says this, another says that, yet another is fecking some German bird while telling everyone else to lock themselves in the bathroom and never come out, eating raw onions will stop you getting it and playing squash on a Friday means you'll definitely get it by the following Thursday
We've got too many "experts" spending too much time justifying their existence or jumping on the bandwagon. Everyone wants their 5 minutes on fame. We've lost all sense of proportion. Reason has gone out of the window. Factories lie idle, shops and retail centres are shut, ports lie deserted and airfields are filled with cars no one can buy. Everyone is tat and shite off Amazon like its going out of fashion, because they are bored witless. Domestic violence it the new home entertainment (apparently) and most of us haven't seen other family members for months (some of that is good). No-one thinks to question how long the government can continue to pay millions of people wages, never mind bail out millions of businesses that are on the verge of or already banjkupt. Its like watching an old US 70s sitcom. No one has any idea what's going on, half cocked "studies" are everywhere (complete with "cautions" not to take the results too seriously already built in), and anything else in the news is after the tits on page 3. Confused? You will be, after this weeks episode of "Soap".
Open the pubs for feck sake. If I'm going to die, at least let me die with a fecking pint in my hand"
