Must... Not...

Trying hard to stick to my decision to not read, get angry about, then post material about the socio-economic effects & events of that virus. But boy oh boy, are people making it difficult! Watching the USA, arguably the most advanced nation on the planet, monumentally stuff this up, is a whole landfill site full of mixed emotions

And hearing people bleating about police states & fascism, just because they can't go to the beach, or the pub, is a bit on the nose, considering the clamour for these very restrictions a few weeks ago "Shut everything down!! Keep people at home!!" they said. Well now...

Of course, if these restrictions remain in place after the whole thing blows over, then they... & you, can say "I told you so!". But even though we know the world will never be the same, relatively speaking, I doubt that we'll become a planet of feudal or police states of varying size. Apart from, apparently, some eastern European & central Asian countries, where they have teetered on & over the edge of various forms of dictatorship or oligarchy for centuries

Other than my mild craving for Guinness from a real tap & daily fight against drinking too much scotch whiskey & L-SP's jury-rigged home office having teething trouble, not to mention the company she works for having dental issues of its own, as it struggles to swim in unknown financial torrents... we're still okay. Statistically speaking, it's likely we'll get hit more by the aforementioned socio-economic stuff, than by the virus itself. L-SP is perfecting her 'Corporate Mullet' look - businesswear up top, pyjamas on the bottom, so that the relevant superiors aren't aware of the appalling slide in standards... like they're not doing the same, just in more expensive shirts & pyjamas
