Paid Members LaGoosh Posted November 18, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted November 18, 2020 Sorry to hear that Suplex Sinner. Lost my own Grandad in April from this, went in hospital for a stomach issue, caught Corona there and was gone 3 days later. This shit is really really terrible.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wordsfromlee Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Just been reading about a wedding that took place in Maine where 176 of the guests contracted COVID - seven of which ended up dying. Americans really are thick, arenāt they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 According to the 10yo, kids have started to use covid when talking about something shit. "Maths was well covid" like some sort of pre teen Nathan Barleys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted November 18, 2020 Moderators Share Posted November 18, 2020 I think that's brilliant and hilarious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 3 minutes ago, Chest Rockwell said: I think that's brilliant and hilarious It's really interesting to see how they deal/have dealt with it, and I think the eldest understands the significance of it, and the kids obviously talk about it, but they still don't see it as we do. The 7yo was telling me about a video she saw on YouTube about Pedro Pony (the one where he coughs, and they all get sick) but someone had dubbed over it with "Oh no, Pedro's got coronavirus" and she thought it was hilarious but caveated it with "Be sad if Pedro died though". I suppose it's all to do with awareness of mortality, and I'm not sure at that age you realise the totality of death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro Red Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Our turn (maybe), 5yr old daughter now has to isolate for 2 weeks due to a confirmed case in her year group at school. Her 9yr old sister continues to go to school as normal, and my wife and I aren't required to isolateĀ just advised to ensure only 1 person goes out when we need to - which we did anyway for the most part. Living in a small town in a region with historically lower numbers this is the first time since day one that it's felt 'close', even when there was 1 other case a month ago in another year group it still felt relatively safe. Time will tell, but if she has caught it then I'm going to assume we all will. Can't really isolate a 5yr old from others in the home, despite my suggestion we stick a bed in the attic....
