At least terrorism is off the agenda now. With any luck, they will all have C19.
The way things are going I wouldn't be suprised if all crimes were waivered.
This morning I seen a report on the BBC news where two rival drug gangs fighting for contol of a city in South Africa have called a truce, from killing, robbing and murduring each other and are now both working together using there drug distribution networks on the streets to deliver food and supplies to residents, the same residents they've terrorised and fought for control of for many years - go figure!
Ironically while people are melting over this being some sort of agenda for control, Goverments are probably thinking the complete opposite, they're probably itching to get people out & back to normal before they drive each other totally insane. The virus is one thing but society is the real worry for me atm.

Yep.

ATM, the easter school break came at the right time. "Normalcy" will be some form of resumption before the summer holidays break kick in. If the summer is lost, and autumn begins, insanity may not be far behind...

I really feel for people in tower blocks or with no garden space, it really has become a blessing to look after the garden.

ditto -never done so much in such a short space of time. everything from deep weeding to building *new stuff*. as you say, must be tough if in a confined space with 2-3 kids tearing around and no prospect of getting out for the day.

anyway, on that note - back to the *grind* ;)

Ditto, having kids around would put me in an assylum. The only thing I've got to break the tranquility is slightly unruly blackbirds pulling stuff out of plant pots despite us laying on an all-you-can-eat buffet for them everyday. First world problems eh. ;)

Here's one for you. Queuing for Tescos. Couple in front appear confused about social distancing. They're about 3 feet apart. But they appear to be having a 'catch up' conversation. So they don't sound like a couple sharing a household. But best of all Mr Couple spends the 20 minutes queuing in front of me chewing his nails, playing with his phone. Did he sanitise hs hands before shopping, did he F***!!!! You just can't get through to some people.

Wafer? Bugle? I shall have to research that. I guess any online purchase keeps the economy going and capitalism will decide which is more important. Personally, the adapting since 21st March has now moved to "er..... I don't like this very much". But i guess there are frontliners and vulnerable people who are seriously more cheesed off than me.
