It has been said that history will judge leaders, countries and some other key individuals on how they handled or behaved in this crisis.

I think that numpties will never change their very selfish and dangerous behaviour.  The majority of people may well become more supportive of others and probably concentrate less on material possessions.  At least for a while.  Gradually the old older will be in place.  Society will move on until the next crisis.

Somebody was keeping a book on the good and bad things that companies had done.  Good behaviours and acts would get their business when ur is over.

Gary Neville acted quickly and unselfishly to help NHS staff and his staff.

On the other hand, Sports Direct shops opened today seeing themselves as essential.  Because they could sell sports gear to help people run, walk or cycle once a day.  (Social media protests resulted in a quick about turn).

In these worrying times I’m quite enjoying Dr Jenny Harries’ dark humour:



Q: Should boyfriends and girlfriends living in different homes see each other?

Harries says the government is asking people to stay in their household because the infection risk within a household is much the same.

She says ideally the two partners should stay in their own households.

Alternatively, they might want to test the strength of their relationship and try living together, she says.

Cheers guys. Was originally tongue in cheek, but I think myself, hopefully like thousands of others, will now think twice before navigating the basketballs and ÂŁ2.99 footballs outside prior to entering Ashley's emporium again.

So what we thought was pretty simple information to follow has been interpreted as people want it to and bosses are calling people in for work for unessential work. Meanwhile my job can’t decide if we’re essential or not so we still don’t know if we’re in tomorrow or not. Again we’re seeing the selfishness of the British public that will only prolong this crisis. Surely we can all agree that we want it over as soon as possible?

Yes, like Wren Kitchens. "We need to keep making the kitchens so people can have them installed so they have somewhere to store all the food they have panic bought"

The Coronavirus impact on the Olympics:

Neither the IOC or Japan wanted to postpone the Games unilaterally. If they did, they could have been sued for billions of pounds. It became a game of chicken.

The WHO did not say that the games should be postponed.  Thus putting them  at risk for all the contractual lawsuits. They were not playing the scapegoat role.

The WHO did say recently that the number of coronavirus was accelerating.  This was the key statement.

The IOC and Japan then jointly announced that the Olympics would be postponed until 2021. The reason given was that the WHO said that expert medical advice the coronavirus was accelerating. This statement was conveniently used as sufficient reason to delete the games. A very neat solution for the Games organisers.  Let legal experts find any holes in that!
