Well I think there is something fishy with the whole thing from starting in china to now.
I have been told that it’s a man made virus from a couple of people in the medical profession, they had no reason to lie but what their source I have no idea. If it is a man made virus why the hell are our politicians hell bent on getting in bed with certain foreign governments, we already very dependent on china. I think for governments around the world to take draconian measures like they have is rather odd. Listen to Bojo’s speech yesterday and he has said just how serious it is and that people are going to die in large numbers. My GP has given me chapter and verse about protecting myself as I am in a vulnerable group. I think a lot of events are going to be cancelled, large gatherings indoor and outdoor. It will be interesting to see what happens about the olympics for instance. A lot of people are going to be disappointed to say the least. The economies around the world are suffering already, it’s going to cause hardship to say the least. The next few years were going to be hard for the uk economy to begin with without all of this, could it deplete our country who knows. We just have to ride out the storm and see what happens just like most things. All that I know is that the ordinary people on the street will foot the bill in some shape or form whilst the rich get richer. |

Well guys, my threat level is currently at “put kettle on” for those that have seen the picture going around.
However, this girl is off the scale. You need to watch it through, I think she’s planning the end of the world or something. https://youtu.be/gDQXNwMr_l0 |

My work also keeps changing. We don’t fly to Italy anymore and with a reduction in passenger numbers some flights are cancelled or consolidated.
Several countries have now closed their borders to foreigners and it has a real impact on our industry. |

Origins of Covid 19
China & Far East has been the source of several nasty bugs over the decades so its nothing new really imho. Current thinking is it has crossed the animal human barrier. The Chinese eat some odd stuff.lol
https://www.lbc.co.uk/radio/presente...veals-the-ori/ You will never convince Conspiracy theorist -did the Yanks really land on the moon - last Flu I had was in 1973-4 it was Hong Kong variety I was young then - I was bed ridden for a week with a delirious fever for 3 days. Interesting that Psychologists have rationalized the whole Internet / Conspiracy theorists stance . As rational intelligent Primates we refuse to accept that some things just happen - we don't like Serendipity all things happen for a reason if we cant find one or it's outside our scope of understanding we invent one. You are not alone Jim - the truth is out there...... |

Just because somebody is in the medical profession doesn't stop them speculating based on hearsay from friends, colleagues and the media. Healthcare professionals are human and suffer the same biases as everyone else. Just because they wear a uniform or work in a hospital or surgery doesn't automatically make them an authority.

Did I say it was correct or anything. All I said was they had no reason to lie and I had no idea of their source? |

No, but you're quite happy to propagate this 'information'. No wonder there's hysteria, and FUD.
