Good initiative!
Hope it will woks fine and cure fast the affected patients!

The English are feeling the pinch in relation to the recent virus threat and have therefore raised their threat level from “Miffed” to “Peeved.” Soon, though, level may be raised yet again to “Irritated” or even “A Bit Cross.”

The English have not been “A Bit Cross” since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies nearly ran out.

The virus has been re-categorized from “Tiresome” to “A Bloody Nuisance.” The last time the British issued a “Bloody Nuisance” warning level was in 1588, when threatened by the Spanish Armada.

The Scots have raised their threat level from “Pissed Off” to “Let's Get the Bastard.” They don't have any other levels. This is the reason they have been used on the front line of the British army for the last 300 years.

The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its alert level from “Run” to “Hide.” The only two higher levels in France are “Collaborate” and “Surrender.” The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France's white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country's military capability.

Italy has increased the alert level from “Shout Loudly and Excitedly” to “Elaborate Military Posturing.” Two more levels remain: “Ineffective Combat Operations” and “Change Sides.”

The Germans have increased their alert state from “Disdainful Arrogance” to “Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs.” They also have two higher levels: “Invade a Neighbour” and “Lose.”

Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual; the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels.

The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy.

Australia, meanwhile, has raised its alert level from “No worries” to “She'll be alright, Mate.” Two more escalation levels remain: “Crikey! I think we'll need to cancel the barbie this weekend!” and “The barbie is cancelled.” So far, no situation has ever warranted use of the final escalation level.

The Russians have said “It’s not us".

Think Positive Charm, lets hope the Ozies crack it, if not lets keep it light & keep our spirits up, most of us here are probably in the vulnerable age group & I for one am fed up of the doom & gloom mongers on here posting their long winded expert views on the situation. (one of them does not even live here & never even been here on holiday FFS)
" you die if you worry & you die if you done......so why worry. ;)

I'm quite pleased to see an anti-headless chicken thread.

What do you call a headless chicken that dies of coronavirus?
Vindicated.

Funny enough I am in HCMC and on a cloudless night you can see Venus (the brightest thing in the sky that everyone thinks is a star) and in the right months/time, Mars, Saturn ad it's moons and also, Jupiter and it's moons,  the Moon is very clear on a cloudless night or day, you can also see orion's belt by eye and orion nebula through a scope.

And the American president has said ( whilst putting his hand on his heart to check his wallet is still there, playing the Star Bangled Banner and topping up his orange colour ) " The virus is not a problem here in the US, well it might be a slight problem, we have it all under control, hell things are getting out of control, I said this was goddam serious all along . . . . Can we nuke it ? "

You realise excessive use of emojis is a banning offence, don't you?

I love pandemics of diseases that most people will recover from easily, but  the papers make sound like the end of the world.

I did my shopping in record time because the supermarket was all but devoid of customers. I'm sitting on my fat arse enjoying a coffee in  J.Co at the moment, but bugger all chance of infection cos I'm the only customer ... and I got a free donut.

Fred

Hold on ..  breaking news ..  a dude just walked in and used the free hand sanitiser - will he stay?
