    I know two people who passed away before their time due to covid. One worked for my stepdad and the other I worked with on various projects over the last few years. My stepdads employee was early 60s and caught pneumonia last year, must have been pretty close to retiring and the other gent had just retired...not sure if he had underlying issues or not. My step nan caught it and was hospitalized for a few weeks also. Both what you would call normal lads and you never would have thought the virus would take them out.

    The Flu, yes, takes people out every year but the country is geared up to take that. An unexpected 50000 deaths is a bit different and that was numbers with controls in place. You have to remember the predictions before the lockdown was actually far worse if we did nothing.

    I have a little one on the way and the missus has been quite paranoid about it all. I have actually upped my precautions since locked down has eased making sure I wear a mask when in the shop and sanitise my hands periodically when walking around etc. There will be another bloom of infections and the death toll will increase dramatically but it has been deemed the NHS can now cope and the government can no longer afford to have the whole country on lockdown.

    Still, nobody knows the long term effects of catching it.

    If I didn't have a little one on the way and didn't know people who it had affected......and was a bit younger...I'd be getting smashed as well.

    Mate I could probably write a very long post and obliterate this Covid19 lockdown shambles, but this isn’t the place to do it.

    Maybe I’ll draft something up for The Lounge.

    I've just seen that you consider it a part of the NWO. Not for me at all, that. But you'll find at least 3 or 4 other people who are into that off the top of my head over in The Lounge, so post it there. I can't imagine for the life of me that you'll have anything to add which hasn't been said on the matter over there though

    Never heard a word of it but to be honest I've taken a break from reading the news.

    It's because it's a nonsense. Imagine pushing a night out to the masses who havent had one for 3 months! Who would have thought people wanted to go out eh? Apparently the media told them to do it, crazy!
