    I don't have a religious bone in my body, but there are plenty who do, and who will derive great comfort from the big boss.
    At times when people are frightened, we should be pleased some are getting comforted.
    How can you lie there and think of England

    Comforted yes, that’s wonderful, but will people run away with the idea that God will protect them and carry on regardless. 
    Wasn't this mentioned in Revelation.

    Five now died in Cornwall hospital, one was a friend of my daughters,  she hadn’t been in contact.  People out in droves in Cornwall  and on Dartmoor, don’t think we stand a chance.

    so-called 'Archbishop of Canterbury'
    Why so called? And why the inverted commas? He is the Archbishop of Canterbury and he’s a decent, honourable person.

    It’s good to hear both sides. As some of you have said, it helps some people to have a sympathetic person chatting to you. 
    Our town this morning was a bit slower than usual in the supermarkets, and I couldn’t get some things on my list, but we’ll survive. Tonight Hubby is making fish cakes from potatoes and canned mackerel. Should be nice and filling. 😜

    When I saw on the news all those irresponsible people out and about yesterday - not thinking of anyone and the risks they were putting themselves and others through what immediately popped into my head was 'lemmimgs'! What part of 'social isolation' and 'stay at home' are they not understanding?

    But at least lemmings only kill themselves ... that lot will be taking the rest of us with them 😡

    I saw a text I sent one of my girls, dated 6.3, when I managed to get a bag of apples at lidl.  Both my girls are in retail one is a manager of one of the big supermarkets, told me Friday they had 7 housand pounds shop lifting.  She and security guard were watching 3 people on Saturday, 2 women with 2 trollies stacked high, and then clothes on the top, the security guard was watching the man.  Cant think of the name but he is aparntly deliberately acting suspicously, to get watched, she told him, no, look at the 2 women.  The realised they were being watched, left the store, then the bloke ran away, he wouldnt have looked so sucpisious if he d just walked out, aparently, they had over £600 worth of stuff.  Little local store other side of Eastbourne my friend told me selling the £1 packs of detol wipes for £6.75.  My daughter in Crawley rang me crying, her fridge was almost empty, the usual thing, you leave work after often a 12 hour shift, the shops are bare.  I havent seen loo paper or pasta for over 2 weeks.  I have a little local Tesco expresse, but unless you are in there when theres a delivery, you are stuffed.  Yesterday managed to get some fresh veg, and pears, first time in a couple of weeks (I have the aham symptoms to prove it) Eldest daughter managed to get some bits for younger one, I was joking at least the shops had wine and chocolate, she told me yesterday, her supermarket which is huge had in fact run out of booze, and yes mine did yesterday as well.  Has anyone asked on here, apologies if I have missed it, has anyone on here actually been diagnosed or a family member, and what symptoms did they have?

    Can anyone here remember the 1970's programme 'Survivors'? I was an addict! There are some scary parallels with Covid-19.

    But not if we stay at home, Dove.
    Maybe the English should fill in a paper to say where they are going and why, like the French are doing.
