Doctors in Australia are now saying you will get it. It can't be contained. Maybe next week, maybe in 3 years.
I agree with these Australian doctors, eventually we will all get the bug.
I was reading an article on the BBC News website last week which suggests that once the Antivirus (vaccine) has been discovered we will have to wait for it to be fully tested on animals, then human trials will begin and if the vaccine works and poses no threats to humans we will then have to wait for the approval to go through. After that the vaccine will have to be manufactured and distributed worldwide.
In short the article states that in the best case scenario, if they found the vaccine today, it would not be available until around the end of 2021.
If you look at how fast this virus has spread so far, even with all of the quarantines that took place, in the next 18 months we will all have had the virus, it will become impossible to escape from it.
With one in a hundred healthy people dead, one in ten if you're high risk. F*CK me....

You trying to get me arrested now huh? The RTP would love that one!
Arrested, that's too soft for thugs like yourself. An educated man drooling over a drink that is spelt incorrectly (there is an 'E' in whiskey).
I would personally string you up and force feed you on Lao Khao. It's amazing what a bit of Black Cock will do for you.

There is already some action plan in place advising to stock up on 6 weeks supply of food, water, toiletries etc in case they have to shut the country down.

I opened a new account for anyone who before passing away wants to donate (lots of) money to a good cause. The acc. no. is .....
PS the pandemic has caused a new casualty, the BM quiz seems to have dropped dead. Please a moment of silence and following raise a generously filled glass of Black something or another. To those who have gone before.

Just for that I'm going to buy a duty free Jamesons and send you pictures of your friendly bottle travelling the world enjoying himself. Jamesons is a whiskey....Bunnahabhain is a whisky....

Whiskey is for poofs and those who smell like a peaty bog.
I mean have you ever tasted Irish cheddar? Giving me the retch just imagining it bubbling on toast.

Oldie, living in a village population 150 in Australia. The local school has a virus circulating at present giving the kids a runny nose and headache. The teacher advises doing nothing, let the kids wear it. I have a vege garden, water and annual leave.

Might agree about the cheddar, but if you'd give me a nice bottle of Bunnahabhain I'd drink it even if my breath would become somewhat 'peaty'

But only one in a hundred will die. Mainly the elderly and sick. But the rest will be bed ridden between 2 and 6 weeks. Some trivia. Just to put that in perspective: the word decimate comes from Roman times. Roman legions were organised into cohorts, each cohort comprised 80 men divided into groups of ten. If a group performed poorly in battle the ten men had to draw straws, the short straw holder was then killed by the other nine men, this was known as decimation, one tenth.

Luckily it's 'only' one in hundred, possibly. With a World population of close to 8 billion that's only 80 million people.
Mind you, there's also the notion that most of the dead will be either elderly or already feeble of health and therefor we shouldn't worry too much.
.. sarcasm on .. Obviously with the elderly just being a nuisance, clogging up the NHS and so, we needed the Corona pandemic to set things right again. Freeing space in hospitals, saving lots of money in pension funds, everyone still alive inheriting lots of money. Life will be so good. .. sarcasm off ..
Cheers, uncle 'older young one' rubl
