January has lasted for about 5 months so far...has it not ended yet?! It's Countdown to Christmas 2020, Thread 2!

[NoWordForFluffy]

Oops.

I failed to notice we had completed thread 1!

So, better late than never, thread 2!

Oh shit Wreck, I'm not sure whether to be worried about it or not, I suppose we won't know unless it gets very serious.

Crazy, me and Dh have been watching this, we've weirdly enjoyed it.

Crazy yes we're re-watching it

Fluffy good idea. I can't do my job remotely unfortunately

Do you think we should start prepping in case we have to stay home?

Can you imagine being in quarantine with a Border Collie

For 2 weeks!!!

Can you tell I'm trying to help fill the thread up

I'm prepping a bit. I don't fancy having no food in the house in conjunction with being told to stay at home! Nothing special, just pasta, beans, bread flour, yeast, frozen veg etc.

How small are your DC PJ? Little people, mad dogs and quarantine could be interesting.

No pets and no very small people here. DH and DS are more concerned that the footy season might be halted.

Lol PJ, collie will definitely find an escape route if you’re quarantined!

Glad others have been watching - it is the Ben Fogle one. He seems ok on the few country episodes I’ve watched. Definitely judgey on the Wild ones though!
I’ve just been enjoying as my dream life would include a farm house, land and animals, somewhere relatively secluded.

We’ve had a talk about Corona in work too and they’re stopping people moving between offices to work unless absolutely necessary.
I’m not thinking about it unless I have to because aside from taking sensible precautions there’s very little you can do.
Also, I have enough food to feed an army stored here (not sure how, I think it's from batch cooking so much to stay on my diet) so I'm not too concerned.

DH came home early (9pm 😱) and ruined my peaceful evening so we’re doing the boring thing and going to bed soon as we’re both exhausted 😴

I'm not concerned. Have been reading some interesting some interesting statistics and pleased to see no deaths in children under 10. Elderly men are the most at risk by the looks of things.

Youngest is 5 nearly 6, Ds2 is 13 nearly 14, he'll just be on his ps4 and moaning about the internet connection. DD1 is 11, nearly 12 so she'll just do her homework. DD2 though, well it could be lots of Mario kart and colouring, so new felt tips should be on my list

I'm not concerned about catching it. I don't fancy being quarantined though!

The worst age is 50-70 looking at the stats.

Bugger. I'm in that age range. I'll come back and troll haunt you.

I can't find the chart I saw. Numbers are higher in the 50-70 range but % wise it's 70+ who come out worse. So you'll be fine, I think!

Well yesterday's shift was very exciting/off the scale/thrilling yet worrying.

It ended with a police man with a very attractive voice calling me back. Which I am not going to complain about.

Morning! Woke up to the sound of rain and DS telling me I am beautiful. Only he could think that of me at 5:30am

Not personally worried about Corona as we are a household of young, healthy people but obviously don't want people with lower immune systems to get it.

here are some stats over 80's worst effected and men more likely to die from it as well. I wonder if flu was worse or similar before there was a vaccine.

New thread.

There are stats about Spanish flu which was also a pandemic, I believe. I think they were similar. And they've said it'll be 18 months before there's a vaccine and we'll all have had it by then! 😂

But you're confusing concern about the pandemic with concern about getting it. I don't care about the latter but the former is worrying, particularly for those in the vulnerable groups.

I was reading about Spanish flu! People assume I'm more worried about getting it because I'm diabetic but I'm really not. I'm well controlled so there's no reason why it snooks affect me more than anyone else. Also I'm rarely ill but I know some people get everything going.

Morning everyone 😀
Why, Fluffy and PJ hugs re your wonderful gran 💐
Fluffy thank you for the new thread 🤗
Good to see you back Pussy 😀👍
I have to cut and run, got to go to mum's this morning, weather has been so bad there's a lot of water on the roads.
Will catch up with everybody later, have a great Saturday everyone 🤗

Ending the thread with Christmas pics
