Good for you. I have 3 stores within 300 metres from our front door. But as a good isolator, I ordered a decent amount of beer and wine from Germany. Expecting delivery next week.

Delivery for me is estimated a week after I order.
If I could stay home and get it delivered then I would.
also the shops to me are about a 20 min return walk away, I’m on my own so it’s only me whom I’m looking after and sox.

Well a month into this I still think that the western world has gone stark raving mad. Lockdowns and closing businesses will cause 100 times the suffering and deaths that this virus will cause.

I could understand it if the virus killed 20-30% of those who get it, but it doesnt, but we (especially the young) are going to pay a horrific price if we continue to trash our economy!!

Let nature take its course, it still will anyway even with a lockdown but at least we wont trash peoples futures at the same time!

Pfft. It's not about the economy. It's about respecting everyone's right to live. Those left alive can always build the economy back up.

I think some people have lost the sight of what really makes life worth living for. And it's not the fucking economy.

Watching forest gump at the moment.
He’s made out to be a simpleton, yet how he lives and his outlook on life makes the man a genius personally.
What a lovely outlook to have.
and I agree with you money and finances mean shit if your 6 foot under.
please don’t think I’m taking the piss when I walk Sox or go to the shops, kind of took that tone when I read your post mate. I don’t.
I live alone with a dog, I go to the shops for what I need of a morning for a walk on my own.
again on my own of a evening.
then walk my dog alone on a night.
Yes it’s more than the hour the government recommend, but sanity and common sense also factor.
Hope your ok and well lord of darkness.

So it’s ok for potentially hundreds of thousands of people of all ages to die just so you don’t have to suffer lockdown? People like you deserve to get this virus so that you can see what it can do to a person.

Its not about lockdown. But trash the economy/bankrupt our countries, and we wont know the horrors of what we will face in the coming years. It will be so much worse than letting nature do its thing!

 

[dionysus]

might be hard to get but the species survived and has been around since before there was an economy to speak of
however, species havent allways survived what nature threw at it...but we got smarter
;letting nature do its thing and ya might as well expect to live to 30 in general

Let nature do its thing? WTF that even means in today's society? The logic would dictate why treat or try to find a cure or treatment to pretty much anything.

If a few months lockdown trashes or bancrupts an economy, perhaps there's something wrong with such economy?

So if nature kills you or all your family you are cool with that ? Even if it can mostly be prevented ...

Shame this virus does not target stupid people who think it's ok for others to die so they can do what they want and have money.

 

[slotplayer]

I'll take the food line over just the pain from the virus any day.

 

[dionysus]

Noone is saying it isnt tough out there. It is.
It's absolutely fucking rotten for some.
But we can work together...smartly...to make it a little less rotten, and not dying (or inadventently killing someone) from something you may have helped prevent spreading and contracting, is one way

 

[dionysus]

It really just boils down to
1. Use common sense
2. Think beyond your own self

Dio is wise beyond his years.

You are only 25 right?

You called someone ‘stupid’ I’ve had a months ban for less.
lol just kidding (but really)
A lot deal with this pandemic differently, some face it head on, others act like it’s nothing.
let’s not all attack someone who has a different opinion.
Any sane person whom ignores the media and goes on medial fact alone will know it’s very bad, it’s that simple.
Look at locks posts, I’ve been here a while and know she’s not full of shit, rarely posts infact.
you cannot ignore it’s a brutal thing happening and will get worse.
but seriously let people have there say, whether you agree or disagree, people can voice what they think.
Otherwise what’s the point?

I try to live my life after this guys motto.
Best line is around 45 seconds in "Stuff are just things, it dont make a f*ck"

Also, that meat looks store-bought @Playford7

So some pointers collected.
1.less cheese.
2.Better lightning for the pictures
3. Homegrown meat

It was store bought mate. I’ll attach a pic of the shop I got it from also the packaging.
Wasn’t aware I claimed to of made it from scratch.

Wow i can't afford to shop in M&S.

 

[goatwack]

My mum popped round earlier to drop some stuff off. She peered round the corner, at first I was like "what you doing?" as I leant in to kiss an open space. Then I realized she was being serious

She gots the smarts. Although the only thing she's likely to catch off me is shock from my slacker disposition. I'd say my beard's about 1/4 through. It's going to be legendary

Sorry Playford, i was just kidding.
I think it looked good.
Looked alot better than the pasta&meatballs i had for dinner.
And less cheese, i mean, that could only make a dish worse.

 

[dionysus]

it's really like the axiom of the reason you help a neighbour whose house is on fire is because the next house on fire may be yours

so even if you cant stop to think that it benefits others to not spread the virus and stay home when able, extend that to self preservation; you dont want it spreading to you and yours and making your life more diffucult, your stay at home longer and the longer your livelihood is put in jeopardy

your measures that help others can also benefit you

You have to line up everywhere now here thanks to a state of emergency in this city. Thankfully I was the only one at the door and a person was coming out so I was able to pretty much go in, The attitude of employees was a little less to be desired as I am in the same boat so I personally thanked each one today, but I still have to make a living and eat. I did the distancing and grabbed stuff at one end so the cashier did not have to touch where I touched etc etc, Hopefully, that will do me for 2 weeks instead of one so I can try to not go every weekend like I usually do.

At least the garage guy was cool and I told him, hey in the same boat as you guys as an "essential" worker so not making an appointment for the fun of it to get work done on my car, hopefully we are not on total lockdown before the date but I don't know, I think we are heading for it. :/

 

[goatwack]

It's not even the escalating lockdown that's so bad, it's other people's complete paranoia from affable, friendly neighbourhood types to angry Gestapo.

Merely yesterday my partner reliably informed me the local shopkeeper gave her the 1000-yard stare and told her to scan the items herself at the checkout. She asked if she'd get paid for doing their work, to which they replied they don't pay wages

Woooossh

If I get a months ban so be it.

Anyone can say whatever they want and have what ever opinion they want . I never suggested they couldn't.

However sorry when it comes to peoples opinions leading to actions affecting others health with the possibility of causing others to fall ill or possibly even die I'm not going to be nice or patient or tolerant about it.

A lot of people will only take this seriously when someone they love is affected.

I haven't seen my youngest daughter or grandson since lockdown began. Breaks my heart but it's the right thing to do. For them for me and for the front line workers and for all the people in my area.

Right now I stay home for them and everyone and the economy comes a very poor second.

Not seeing the ban-worthy content, but I can report it if you like!

Does anyone know if @mariafbb is in good health again? If I remember right she caught the virus.

If I recall correctly, she had symptoms but not necessarily the virus

Thats from Norway.
I spent some time there (about a year) and its really a beautiful country.
I have a photo somewhere of me standing on this rock

I was there working and spent some time hiking&fishing.
Great place to fish, much better than here in Sweden.

not a chance in Hell unless I were bungeed to a helicopter above

 

[Kroffe]

Oh, and also its accurate.
They have started to set some restrictions in the worst affected places (like stockholm)
But still no lockdown.

Here in the north there have mostly been some minor changes.

I scaled Krakatoa and burned my feet on the black sands (hint: dont wear sandals) - that was adventurous enough for me

I walked away from a car crash I should never have walked away from - my brush with my mortality cured my rooftop jumping days
