If you are a INTJ, you can crack on and solve all these problems without distractions. I'm one, without the success or ability to solve!

If I recall correctly I’m a ISTJ...apparently that’s quite common, but with looking at what other folk are doing I believe either that is wrong and ISTJs aren’t common or I’m not a ISTJ.

I am an extrovert who loves being out and about (read that as hanging out in Amsterdam getting trashed) but I also love staying home and gaming, being in the garden etc …..so I am good either way. However, when the weather turns **** then I may lose my mind lol

On a plus note, air pollution has massively dropped in cities and town

This will help those with lung and heart conditions

It might even kickstart the non polluting transport in populated areas

Crazy to think that its taken a global virus to give us the best air quality this century has ever seen (and might ever see).

What gets me is that this is not Britain we all moan about. It is the whole world. That is slightly scary

I've just realised. The only people who will be ok after this virus is those on benefits.
maybe they should have theirs reduced to 80% to help foot the bill after

Could cope with few weeks, but June!

Not really a conspiracy theorist but something bit strange going on. And I don't mean my step father who is doing my head in thinking nothing happening out there

Really am perplexed and concerned at the death hotspot in the Black Country and West Birmingham. Which is significantly higher rate of death per 10,000 than surrounding areas (Solihull, Worcs, Staffs etc.) and London. This is why the NEC is gearing up as a hospital (and that’s feckin’ huge) https://www.hsj.co.uk/coronavirus/co...027256.article

I did remark early on that there is a risk of spread by care workers, both home visitors, carehome workers as well as hospices/hospitals. I fear it could be the case here. Getting care workers as well as non-frontline staff in these sectors regularly tested needs to be better prioritised.

Yeah. I learnt that a few years ago; Those that live and work with prone individuals really should have been given more (guidance, quarantine, distancing as well as tests and equipment) at the first point of this virus hitting UK soil.

A little life story that nailed this home to me: My cousin used to live with my gran (long story), who was ok but was prone due to having COPD (smoker). This was the year of the ineffective flu jab.

My cousin works in a nursery and has immune issues due to a eating disorder...as such she is always getting every bug going due to where she works and then passing it on to my gran. The last one was a flu bug, and of course my gran contracted it and died as a result when it got onto her lungs. I do believe if my cousin had no contact she would probably still be alive today.

BTW, I should add its not totally my cousin’s fault as there was a failure by the hospital that discharged her too soon (as they wanted the bed) into a respite home (against our wishes as we wanted home-care her ourselves) that was understaffed by unskilled carers who reported that she had seen a GP to check her condition (which was detoriating), but infact hadn’t...when our demands that a GP see her were eventually actioned, GP said “paramedics NOW”, unfortunately it was too late as all that could be done was palliative. However I had to mention this as this shows how poor care services were BEFORE a pandemic.
