Really interesting information, thanks.
(I didn’t know about pets/animals.)
However, yesterday, I read that a coronavirus can live in the freezer for up to 2 years?! Wish I hadn’t read that!
(Actually, I’d rather know than not know.)
Take care xx

Well the numbers are the best I could find. And probably pessimistic.
Hope you have contacted your MP. In theory, they should be able to substantiate the numbers.

ps: who outside of Portadown is putting the virus into their freezer?

pps: Spanish Flu lasts MUCH longer in the Artic

Are You sure it’s Great Britain, and not U.K.?
❤☘?

biker says:

hahahaha
Could be.
But let’s put the “Great” back into Britain 🙂
And open the pubs.
Get on with life.
This hiding in the shadows, is OK as a kids game for a few hours, but not as a way of life.
It is only flu!

Ha ha!
I sense “Someone” is getting “cheesed off” with home cooking!
Wot. No photos?
Keep smiling.

biker says:

No way! My cooking is alright. Tasty and minimal work. That’s my kitchen mantra. Never cook anything that is hard work. I don’t see the point.
Brilliant cooking is very hard. I am not in that category. Hence missing La Galeria.
Good cooking is easy. Making tasty dishes is simple. But the photos are a tad bland. One roast chicken looks like every other roast chicken. Had half of one yesterday 🙂

Currently working on a saag chicken…..

Here are last week’s cabbage rolls, before the sauce/jus/gravy was added……

And if you missed my torreznos (crispy pork belly) they are here 😉

Actually this does not affect me too much. I work from home, rarely go out to restaurants, and I live like a hermit in downtown T.O.
Maybe I’ll go flyfishing with my dog soon when the season opens up. In the meantime I can tie some flies while having some fine scotch beside me.

biker says:

Am I the only one who thinks the recent draconian measures, are a tad over the top?
Coronavirus is just a flu.
Higher mortality rate than regular flu, but way less than SARS.
And we did none of this stuff for SARS.
I don’t get it.
Well, the cynic in me thinks it’s all about power and control. With the media doing it’s usual hysterical job. The sky is falling. The sky is falling. No it isn’t.

As I write this, covid-19 has claimed 42,000 dead. Putting that in perspective, this is just below Appendicitis and above Dengue Fever. Regular influenza and pneumonia claim over THREE MILLION, every year.

ps: what makes you think you will be allowed to go fly-fishing?

biker says:

for those who like conspiracy theories – this flu has been declared a pandemic because most of the western economies are in trouble. Now the politicians will be able to say “it was all the fault of that nasty virus”.

Richard says:

Why not? Fish don’t spread the disease. And are the Rangers or Police wandering in the woods? Hello Mr. Smith please come out from behind the tree.

biker says:

Nah. Just assuming travel restrictions.

ps: Monty Python is alive and well in TO 🙂

Hahahaha, The Gourd the Gourd!
