Covid-19.... What will happen next?

[davebirch]

Being over 70, I'm told I should stay home, that's a pain in the A, I've just filled up the car!
Looks like I might have to have the grog delivered from now on!

I was due for a dental check-up at the end of April. They are phoning everybody to rearrange it. I have been given a date in July. They said hopefully we will see you then. Got me thinking, I hope so and will they ?.

 

[Old Darwen Blue]

Very true

Had my hair cut today by er indoors. Despite not having a clue what to do at the start she managed a quick all over No 4. It's fine too if perhaps a little shorter than normal, tbh there's nowt much to spoil these days. In fact now I've crossed that particular personal Rubicon I might never visit a barbers again.

I've been using a clipper to cut my hair for years.
Much cheaper and do it whenever and as often as you like.
As there's not much styling involved, it's similar to the result from a pro too

My missus does mine now that Ernesto from Blackburn has retired. Says me £8 every 5 weeks....equivalent to £80 per year to spend on myself.

Shouldn't you spend it on her?

Henry Kissinger, a man not prone to hyperbole, describes in the Wall Street Journal what's at stake: “When the Covid-19 pandemic is over, many countries’ institutions will be perceived as having failed. Whether this judgment is objectively fair is irrelevant. The reality is the world will never be the same after the coronavirus. To argue now about the past only makes it harder to do what has to be done.”

He refers to three major tasks facing the U.S. government:: (1) buttressing resilience to contagious disease with international partners; (2) start to fix the global economy now suffering from an unprecedented contraction; and (3) safeguard the foundation of the liberal world order.

He concludes: “The historic challenge for leaders is to manage the crisis while building the future." Get this wrong and "failure could set the world on fire.”

Meanwhile funding a certain Lab ....

Kissinger, well now I am worried, pay attention to item 3 ... and what happens in their "safeguarding" strategy

 

[davebirch]

Kissinger always reminds me of Peter Sellar in Dr Strangelove

Meanwhile China watches the struggles of democratic nations to cope with the situation of their making, whether intentional or otherwise................... and is learning plenty.
