Well @Hexagon, you are short on life skills aren't you? Being able to cook and bake are pretty essential really unless you're happy for you and your family to be consuming industrial food processing chemicals and fats and sugars, not to mention excess chemical fertilisers and pesticides . Maybe get some flour, if you can, and try some simple Irish soda bread if you don't think you can stretch to yeast doughs.
You have my admiration @AuntyRach. I just hope you and your colleagues get the equipment and support you need to stay safe and help people.
As for god helping defeat Covid, where was he/she/it when it started? Certainly not telling the Chinese not to eat Pangolins and other wild critters or use them for their medicine and thus exposing the whole world to unknown microbes and endangering species too.

There have been massive wild fires this year, plagues of locust, unprecedented flooding... just saying
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
Well, Paul B3, I suppose it’s a case of whatever gets you through the night. If some people derive succour from the A of C’s offerings, then that helps them.
It's the height of selfishness and delusion if your god, that gets you through the night, ends up killing thousands of people out of medieval delusion. Who needs germ theory or vaccines or prenatal scans? Leave it to god to kill you and everyone like you.
As people flocked to the beaches to top up their tan today, have cosy bbqs, partying the night away in an incubatory huddle, two themes become clear.
THIS IS NOT ALL ABOUT YOU - you are transmitting the virus potentially to hundreds of people you have never met. You might not mind not dying slowly in great pain, but what about all the elders in the care home around the corner that end up affecting? Which leads to number two:
DON'T BE A DICK - have a little consideration for others. Find some empathy and compassion. Don't grab everything in sight just because you can and you are stronger and have sharper elbows. Stock piling is just looting and then paying for it. If there was a donation bucket instead of a till would anyone pay or would they stampede?
@Fire- there are certainly plenty of 'Dicks' around....
It's one of the reasons I'm sort of self isolating. I'm healthy, I'm not in the 'risky' older category. I retired last year and I have a car. I could help with delivering, or shelf stacking or any other kinds of assistance, but...and it's a big but. Both my girls are at the coal face, and they live with me. That means they could easily be carriers, and could pass it to me, without any of us having any serious symptoms. I don't want to take that chance, and risk passing it some elderly, or vulnerable person. Simple.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
