State of Emergency, Coronavirus (part 2)

[Viktoria]

And that was for real?
Nothing was actually said!
Use of set phrases that were meaningless.
Well I hope any conference re Corona Virus is more productive than  that.
It verged into the realms of TheTwo  Ronnies.
Thanks.

Joke, a woman was boasting about her husband’s promotion.
Her friend congratulated her ,and said “ Well my Bill has hundreds of men
under him now.”
“ Oh, “said the first speaker , “ How come, where does he work now then , what does he do ?”
“ He cuts the grass at the cemetery”.
Well I didn’t say it was a good joke!

My daughter is a teacher and has two children - my lovely twin grandchildren - Michael and Kaley aged 7.

She put up a daily schedule as kids are off for three weeks (regular March break, plus 2 weeks added on for the virus).

Within hours, the kids had put up their own schedule (including 'fine print' that says "this is the real schedule not the other one"). 

Good for a laugh! 

Cheers all

Interesting stories appearing that a treatment for the virus has emerged in the form of a cheap drug that has been safely in use since 1945 to treat malaria, and it is made in the UK. I am not a pharmacist so I cannot evaluate the trustworthiness of these reports. However if nothing else it is a good excuse for a few gin and tonics. The following link gives a good summary:- https://wattsupwiththat.com/2020/03/17/an-effective-treatment-for-coronavirus-covid-19-has-been-found-in-a-common-anti-malarial-drug/

That makes interesting reading, don't tell too many people until we have had the chance to stockpile tonic  I can't stand the taste personally but they say, what's nasty often makes you better. So I may just acquire a taste for it 
Thanks for sharing.

"a cheap drug that has been safely in use since 1945 to treat malaria"

Chloroquine.  I'll have a look around, I think I might have some old leftover tablets.  I wonder what its shelf life is?

I wonder if they dissolve well in gin

Dunno, I'm not much of a drinker.
