Here if you shoot a burglar you go to prison, I remember when I was in NZ something on the news, it may have been in Oz someone attacked a burglar and he was an instant hero, that is how it should be obviouslyFfs, do poms have a problem with the concept of no entry into a property, either house or farm unannounced , uninvited or unrequested?!!!

There is definitely less folk about today than on previous weekends
They’re still walking everywhere they shouldn’t but it’s got that dry now if I get a clip on with the rollers I can get quite a bit of dust up and some black liquid piggery poo on some backward wheats next week will really give the trespassing beggars a real taste of the countryside

As someone with a Masters in disease control, you can only imagine the sheer hell on earth that Facebook is for me at the moment.
From Chantelle who has impressively made the leap from bath bomb retailer to consultant virologist in a matter of weeks and can tell you exactly why the government and their experts are wrong, to Bob who claims to have secret intel from a secret government group on the secret programme of secret treatment measures that the government are definitely bringing in at 3pm next Thursday, only it’s a secret, but he’s posting it on Facebook so he feels like 007, to Steve who thinks it’s all a load of bollocks and if he wants to wander round town he bloody well can cos he doesn’t feel sick and why the feck is ‘spoons shut cos his granddad didn’t fight the nazis for him to be told to stay inside even if pornhub premium is now free for a week.
I tried as hard as I could in my studies and in my work in disease control to avoid viruses like the plague (see what I did there?) because they are absolute bastards. Bacteria are so much easier to control and parasites are positively dreamy. Viruses are utter bastards (did I mention that?) because you can do almost feck all to them. To deal with viruses you have to deal with the viral vector instead. That’s the weak point for a virus. Its vector. Only in this case the vector is humans, bloody stupid, arsehole humans like Chantelle, Bob and Steve. Viral control is about psychology more than it’s about medicine and that’s what’s scary about it. Giving everyone a pill is easy, getting everyone to listen and change their behaviour is a stinking nightmare.
The virus is just chugging along being a virus, it’s living it’s best life #livelaughcough. You can’t ignore it out of existence, scaremonger it away or become magically immune by gargling with vinegar, donning a decorating mask or sticking a live frog up your arse and swanning round town like an immortal dickhead. You have to actually do what you’re being told to do. YOU.
YOU. You can stop it. Do what you’re told. Stay the feck inside. Stop thinking you’re an expert, stop thinking you know best, stop thinking you’re a rebel, stop trying to be a special little cupcake. Be a sheeple. Do what you’ve been asked to do. This is NOT your time to shine sweet cheeks, this isn’t your opportunity to over throw the system and save mankind. It’s your opportunity to sit tight, watch Netflix and save mankind.
The virus does not give a shit about you. You’re just a stepping stone, a host, a nameless, faceless breeding ground and launchpad. All it gives a shit about is reproducing and finding new hosts. Don’t let it. Break the chain. Shut the hell up. Stop spreading fake news, fear and gossip. Let the experts be the experts and do what they tell you because all the googling, all the conspiracy theories, all the spoilt princess routines and all the voodoo bullshit in the world is not going to help you one little bit. This is not about YOUR ego, it’s about OUR survival. So act for the good of us all and do what you’re being asked to do.
Stay inside, protect the NHS, save lives.
Addendum:
Hello everyone, thank you for taking the time to read my ramble and to share it and help me convince my parents that all that money spent on the Masters degree was of some benefit to mankind but I’m just a girl who has a little experience I wanted to share.
I’ve not even told you about the time I got the lab induced yeast infection up my nose, the time I sedated myself with chloroform during an exam, or had an entire, fully operational water treatment plant stolen over night, but, suffice to say I have a little window into this mad world we’re all stuck in together now.
I am not your government. I am not your health department. I am not the girl who decides on your country’s global treatment programme. I’m not Scully, or indeed, Mulder.
So please don’t come at me bro, I’m not interested in arguing with you because you’ve read how eating 4 oranges a day will give you a shield of protection like you’ve just had a bowl of 1970s readybrek, or how you have a file of secret evidence as to why this has been made up by the Chinese/Trump/ phone companies or your dad. I’m just here to say STAY THE feck INSIDE.
Now, Judge Judy is on and I’ve just treated myself to a Freddo Frog, so have fun y’all and STAY THE feck INSIDE.

The Tesco advert "every little helps" show customers outside the store queuing up 2m apart with their trolley waiting however many minutes, then shows them instore giving them a wet wipe to wipe the trolley handle, what's the point they've just had hold of it for 10 minutes could have touched their face numerous times

They've had system for at least four weeks. Trolley wipes yards inside the store. No, I couldn't work it out either. And I was wearing my vynyl gloves.
And am the only one getting somewhat irritated by this supermarket overkill - 'we're feeding the nation'. No they're berluddy well not. WE are, and getting shafted on prices into the bargain. (Sheep halving in price, univesally two weeks ago.)

End of milking last night, I was mixing my milk taxi up, when I saw 5 likely Asian lads dressed in Sports Direct trackies walking down next door's field to the stile into ours. They stood there looking shifty, not observing any social distancing, whilst me and the milker stared them out. After a good 5 mins they climbed over and came into the yard. Ringleader walks right up to me, so I backed off, and asks which way the footpath goes.
I told him about standing back, and how it was a funny time to go walking, as it would be dark by the time they were done....."it's ok, we're joggers. Do you sell stuff here? Milk?"
I fobbed him off, and off they jogged. I was all for dialling 111, but the boss went for a ride round and found their cars in the lay by up the road (one, a license-expired taxi
), so we've got their numbers. I partly expected finding a pile of wool and Larry the blind store lamb gone this morning, but all seems well. Perhaps they were just muppets out for exercise.....
