My parents for two - their view is they will die of something - they just want the chance to get out of purgatory and live a life - however long that is.

If you ask most older people that would be their view - and if you combined that with educating the youngsters they would even more convinced.

Blair has a lot to answer for in that respect.

Blair was as big a t0sser as the useless lump of lard you and your blue rinse parents recently voted in.
Back to work for us Monday.
Footings, concrete and pipework to be put in on our gas site
7 weeks refreshment and a hell of a tan for early May.

Blair was alright for a couple of years way back in the late 1990s. I think he must have caught the Millennium Bug after that.

Until him and Dubya wanted to rewrite history with their evangelical crusade before riding off into the sunset.
Never trust somebody who's old man was a Tory councillor.

Can I just confirm, this is a wind up isnt it?
I mean, even if it isnt it's just anecdotal, and thanks for speaking on behalf of every older person in the country (I know you wont believe me but being a crown green bowler so know lots of 60/70/80 year olds, and they pretty much ALL TAKING IT SERIOUSLY).
And if any of them do want to give their lives, are they willing to kill other people who arent?

Maybe Bojo should just release lockdown for over 70s?

Only Brexit voting ones so they could have a mass congregation to sing "[iWhite Cliffs of Dover.[/i"
We could get Sal & Flashman as ushers to hand over the song books at they enter the building.

How can you be talking to them during lockdown - so how do really know what they think - most want to make the most of what life they have left - stuck in isolation for months on end is no quality of life it is just an existence. Do you think if someone said to them right you can either stay in isolation or you can get back out on the bowling green with all the risks you wouldn't be able to get on the bowling green.

We may never find a vaccine for this - look at HIV - no vaccine yet. So how long do you lock them down - indefinitely?

To be fair, I did have a tad of social distancing guilt last night.
Not for the barmaid, but for her elderly couple neighbours.
Especially when I nearly ended up knocking her through the wall into their bedroom.
If only I wasn't joking.

Welcome back to March. Do you understand the R rate and where we are today. It certainly isn't R x 2.
