Can't give details but I'm about to go into a work situation where I'm very likely to get the Rona. The reason I'm saying this is NOT to look for sympathy (I'm not worried, tbh) it's because I do not want to be turned into a cautionary tale if I snuff it. Let me explain:
1/4
1/4
2/4
So if I get creamed by this thing, I don't want y'all saying: Aha! You see! Old enternoon was such a skeptic and look where it got him! First, I've never denied that it kills. And let me say for the record now, I'd much MUCH rather die of the Wu Flu than die of starvation.

3/4 I stand by all I've said (apart from the stuff, yes, we got wrong about how quickly this thing will move on) It's a binary choice, and a moral one: EITHER tolerate appalling numbers of livlihoods/businesses destroyed with death/despair that brings & millions die of starvation
4/4 Or you accept that pandemics come along and kill, sadly, lots of people. That's a perfectly moral thing to accept, as long as all that can reasonably/morally be done (that doesn't destroy livelihoods etc) is done. *The other is not.* And that's all I've got to say about that.
NB I don't mean to be overly dramatic: the chance of my demise is absolutely remote, and, as I said, I'm not worried. It's just that I can't bear the thought that if I DO cash out with this thing, folks turn me into a pro-lockdown cautionary tale. So just for the record, like. x
