i paste here a most interesting list about our current situation sent by an email friend just now. perhaps you might choose to spread it around, as i certainly will, and just have;


A list to help brainstorming.

What you are being told is absurd...

Coronavirus Guidelines

1. You MUST NOT leave the house for any reason, but if you have a reason, you can leave the house.

2. Masks are useless at protecting you against the virus, but you may have to wear one because it can save lives. But they may not work, unless they become mandatory, which they might not.

3. Shops are closed, except those shops that are open.

4. You must not go to work unless you can go to work, but you can get another job and go to work.

5. You should not go to the doctor or to the hospital except when you have to go there, unless you are too sick to go there.

6. This virus can kill people, but don’t be scared of it. It can only kill those people who are vulnerable or those people who are not vulnerable people. It’s possible to contain and control it, sometimes, except that sometimes it could lead to a global disaster.

7. Gloves won't help and they might make things worse, but they can still help so wear them anyway. Or not.

8. STAY HOME, but it's important to go out.

9. There is no shortage of groceries in the supermarkets, but there are many things missing. Sometimes you won’t need toilet paper but you should buy some just in case you need some.

10. The virus has no affect on children. Except those children it effects.

11. Animals are not affected, but there is still a cat that tested positive in Belgium in February when no one had been tested. Plus a few Tigers here and there…

12. Stay 2 metres away from Tigers. (see point 11)

13. You will have many symptoms if you get the virus, but you can also have symptoms without getting the virus, get the virus without having any symptoms or be contagious without having symptoms, or be non contagious with symptoms.

14. To help protect yourself you should eat well and exercise, however you should eat whatever you have on hand as it's better not to go out, especially to the shops.

15. It's important to get fresh air but don't go to parks. Go for a walk, but don’t sit down. Except if you are old. But not for too long. If you are pregnant or if you’re not old or pregnant but need to sit down, then do so. If you do sit down don’t eat your picnic.

16. Don’t visit old people even if you have to take care of an elderly person by bringing them food and medication.

17. If you are sick, you can go out when you are better, but anyone else in your household can’t go out when you are better unless they need to go out.

18. You can get restaurant food delivered to the house. These deliveries are safe. But groceries you bring back to your house have to be decontaminated outside for a minimum of 1-6 hours, weather dependent.

19. You can't see your older mother or grandmother, but they can take a taxi with an older taxi driver.

20. You are safe if you maintain the safe social distance when out but you can’t go out with friends or strangers at the safe social distance.

21. The virus remains active on different surfaces for two hours ... or four hours... six hours... and sometimes even days, not hours. But it needs a damp environment, or a cold environment that is warm and dry... It might be in the air, but it might not. As long as the air is not near people doing exercise.

22. Schools are closed so you need to home educate your children, unless you can send them to school because you’re not at home. If you are at home you can home educate your children using various portals and virtual class rooms, unless you have poor internet, or more than one child and only one computer, or you are working from home. Baking cakes can be considered maths, science or art. If you are home educating you can include household chores within their education. If you are home educating you can start drinking at 10am

23. If you are not home educating children you can also start drinking at 10am

24. The number of corona related deaths will be announced daily but we don't know how many people are infected, as they are only testing those who are almost dead to find out if that's what they will die of… The people who die of corona who aren’t counted won’t be counted until they are counted.

25. You should stay in, locked down until the virus stops infecting people. But it will only stop infecting people if we all get infected, so it’s important we get infected but some not get infected

26. You can join your neighbors for a street party and turn your music up for an outside disco and your neighbors won’t call the police. People in another street are allowed to call the police about your music

27. No business will go down due to Coronavirus except those businesses that will go down due to Coronavirus

28. If you have an argument with someone you live with you can stay with a friend until things cool down, unless you argue with your friend, then you should go to another friends to cool down. Or with another family member. Or back home, when things have cooled down.

29.  It's essential to save lives.  For this reason, non-essential surgery is not permitted.   Planned Parenthood may stay open to save lives.  (Stated by governors)

30.  History isn’t important, neither is truth.  Don’t share 9/11 truth or read Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth.  Don’t try to understand who’s responsible for the last 19 years of endless war.  There’s boogeymen everywhere that big government must protect you from.  It’s Muslims Muslims Muslims!  No, it’s Russia Russia Russia!   Your friend is a batshit crazy conspiracy theorist.  Critical thinking isn’t something anyone is capable of.  Watch more news and Netflix.
