The threat of Coronavirus to ECFC

[IndoMike]

Take Magda, for instance, Mike...

She works at Musgrove, and we live about 20 minutes away, by car. She does 12 1/2 hour shifts, either 7am till 7.30 pm, or nights 7-7.30. There aint no public transport to get her there at those times, unless she wants to leave home a good hour or more before she is due to start. It's also likely to lengthen her day at the arse end.

Imagine two or three days/nights in a row, of 14+ hours to, in and from that environment.

And the cost to park at Musgrove for 12 months? £440. I **** you not.

She earns £17k before tax.

Well, that's what Olds and I mean. Farking disgrace. If we can't look after the people who look after us, WTF.

One thing that struck me yesterday evening (while taking the hounds for a brief walk) is why are the street lights still on?

If they want everyone to stay indoors as much as possible surely the darkness would help deter unnecessary night time excursions (as well as saving the councils much needed money!)

Indicative of the take away society these days..There should be a bit less rubbish blowing down High Streets now & dumped at curb sides..Every cloud..

One of the few plusses that I can think of is that the environment is getting a break. Dolphins in he canals of Venice, even. Hopefully there will be deer in High St soon.

There was a feckin' fox prowling around in the orchard this morning. Keep two metres distant you furry fecker. We are self isolating.

Sports bulletins on the wireless are getting a little bit repetitive to the point of being unnecessary.

Something we said half an hour ago about whether the Olympics might be postponed and then back to the studio.

There have been significant improvements in air pollution though:

Coronavirus pandemic leading to huge drop in air pollution

‘Largest scale experiment ever’ shows what is possible as satellite images reveal marked fall in global nitrogen dioxide levels

It would be nice to think we might actually learn something from this.
