    We canceled our holiday so at least I don’t have to worry about my fish :lol:
    Plus still have a residual cough, my son and I were a bit sick last weekend but we’re all good. But the cough would’ve freaked out people on the plane big time! As it is I get THE LOOK everywhere I go.

    Quite happy to be pottering around at home tbh :thumbup:

    Ain't that the truth. Sometimes when I drink I wish I had two hoses to drain for more space ;-)

    I get these perfect little tubs from my..um*cough* herb supplier *cough* and they work so perfectly as filter heads. I just cut the lid so that the pipe from the pump fits through and then I siliconed the pipe to the lid.

    I believe you can make a specific vaccine for a specific virus.
    The problem with annual flu vaccine is that out of the however many possible strains out there, the flu vaccine only covers some of those, not all.

    But I agree with you 100%.
    This c v is out there. It can't be stopped.
    So have to try as best as possible to not get ill in the first place through good hygene. Isolate yourself as best as possible if you do become ill.
    And try and avoid contact with vulnerable.
    And then get on with life.

    And I also agree.
    This hysteria and panic is not helping. At all
    And this financial meltdown that is happening will probably cause more long term suffering too.

    Agree with you guys but yes.. the hysteria in some places today was unbelievable
    By mid morning Makro Alberton was out of rice, sump,and a good couple of other things
    Westpack was out of toilet rolls
    Woolies shelves were empty of milk, eggs, bread etc..
    Sanitary stuff the shelves were empty
    The ques at Makro of trollies full were miles long
    Its crazy!!

    As for the Global economy.. thats a total nightmare and very scary...
