Lesson (S)

[Bazile]

So what lesson(s) have you learned from this lockdown ?

[Cloverjo]

That Husband and I can be together 24/7 and not drive each other mad.

Also, I seem to have lost the ability to ride a bike. I’ve fallen off twice.

[DTCwordfan]

and there I thought you were going to add, 'THWACK', Bazile - for misbehaving in the language lab......

[Cloverjo]

I remember a similar language lab at my school. All hi-tech. I can hardly remember a word of the French I learnt there. I know more German but don’t remember lessons in the lang lab for that language.

[Bazile]

DTC - who moi?

No, no - I was a model pupil

[Bazile]

Cloverjo - you probably went to the same school as me

[Cloverjo]

Hey, Bazile! Give me a clue. Who are you and where are you from? ;)

The Great British Bulldog has morphed into a mouse and cannot cope under stress or pressure but whines and looks for scapegoats and political point scoring. :-(

Us Bengalis are just watching with interest :o)

Stoicism isn't what it used to be. We managed 6 years 39-45, many today could hardly manage 6 weeks.

[Mamyalynne]

I think it's marvellous how resourceful so many people have been and the help given to those who need it has been excellent, very little moping and grumping from what I've come across.

[MartinMillar]

That I continue to surprise myself

[david small]

Lesson learned. I should dwell in a remote crofters cottage or hermits cave.

That I really need to get out more...

[10ClarionSt]

I've learned that this whole thing is an excercise by the government in population control. It's not an exercise in controling the virus.

I've learned that there are people who have been scared witless by the govt propaganda machine.

I've learned that there are two-faced hypocrites who are "advising" the government.

I've learned that the whole lockdown was started on the advice of a scientist whose previous record is one of innacuracies and flaws.

I've learned that SD is futile when observing most people and is totally unnecessary.

I've learned that 95% of all deaths from CV-19 are people who had one, or a combination of, heart disease, dementia or diabetes.

I've learned that if a person is in reasonably good health, (not perfect, by any means) then they have more chance of being hit by a meteorite than dying of CV-19.

I've learned that, apparently, a virus can now live for 72 hours without a host, compared to a virus in the 1980's (AIDS) that could only live outside a host for 15 seconds.

Other than that, I've learned nothing.

Well, rejoice in your ignorance then 10cst

[10ClarionSt]

Those instance that have been given by health and govt officials, Ozzie. It must be their ignorance then. What do we know?

[1ozzy]

Well, you obviously know more than the people who have studied the subjects they are now advising on 10cst.

You have missed your true vocation.
