Whatever is going on, it's certainly not the Corona virus that's the root cause. Like you say, it's just weird .

Enjoy .

Welcome and good luck Molly
It won't take you long to get used to the site. Many more genuine people that you can get to know in the forums.

Welcome and good luck

12c (feels like 9c. Rising to 13c and falling to 7c overnight). Raining until mid-day, with a moderate 34kph S wind.

I quite understand and I agree, whatever else is going on, we are being lied to about Corona virus and its seriousness. I don't doubt that it exists, it's just that the death rate from it appears to be somewhere between one in a thousand and one in 300 and then only if you're very young, elderly or otherwise vulnerable because of underlying health problems.
My basic assumption is that the Western Economy has collapsed again, worst that it did in 2010 and the virus provided a useful cover story to allow for yet another bail-out for business.
I can't understand why any Government would deliberately destroy the economy of its own country, which is what the last lockdown did, unless their was nothing to be saved in the first place.
I expect rationing and martial law.

Hello and good luck Angela

Too much filter and being married but looking for dating will deter most people from contacting you.

Hello and welcome

Thanks, it's not that bad at the moment, certainly no worse than an ordinary cold. I wouldn't have realised that it wasn't just a cold unless the school that my nephew attends hadn't sent out letters saying that every child and their family (and support bubbles, as they are calling the legitimate outside contacts) had to test and self-isolate after a pupil in a certain class tested positive for the virus.

11c (feels like 7c. Rising to 12c and falling to 7c overnight). Cloudy, with an 100% chance of rain tonight and a light 16kph W wind.

well, the evidence is symptomatic and circumstantial but it does seem the likeliest explanation. Although everyone in my immediate family caught an unusual disease with a forty-eight hour fever and all the other symptoms of Covid, my youngest brother's five-week old daughter was in intensive care for a fortnight and was only kept alive with a ventilator etc. She even had the purple toes. At the same time, dozens of infants and young children also had the same symptoms and my neice got the last intensive care bed in the North West, the other children were sent to Wales. Since then the health authorities have admitted that Covid was circulating in England as early as November and since the symptoms were exactly the same, it seems likely.

I don't know what it was like before but I think your profile is fine as it is.

It's a good, clear profile Tamra. The only thing I can suggest is that you use the second pic as your profile picture, it's much better.

I'm self-isolating for the next twelve days after recovering from my second Covid-19 infection. The first was in late November/early December 2019 and this one was much less unpleasant and less feverish than the first. You can't really avoid it but you should take whatever precautions seem reasonable.

Welcome and good luck.

8c (feels like 5c. Rising to 13c and falling to 12c overnight). Raining, with a moderate 18kph S wind.

I was born and live in England and I'm not the one changing Dictionaries to match today's Double Speak.

May she have as long and distinguished a career as her predecessor.

Strange how Webster's dictionary changed the defintion of "sexual preference" during her Confirmation hearings. That's remarkably 1984.
