Meece 1,957 Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 (edited) One of the daughters is a staff nurse and I asked her what the score was. She said nothing is different than It was before. The idea of people being tested has been scrapped as every suspected case now has to self confine. She said that there is a joke that the nurses are the band of musicians on the Titanic. ....... The ship is going down and the passengers are running around like mad chickens, but the band plays on regardless. I asked her at what point does the band stop playing.? When the water is round their ankles or when their is no one left.? She laughed. Edited March 14, 2020 by Meece Quote Link to post Share on other sites

king 11,664 Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 They can stop the flu it's allways around. So how are they going to stop this flu like virus. How can you stop something you can't see. Surely it's impossible.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
