Impact of the Coronavirus and Self-Isolation

[frank08]

Well then why should you have the last word?

[ceratopsian]

Well then do you want me to delete the zombies and just have stay safe in the message? It's just a yes or no. If you have a problem with my jokes then just don't respond to them

You seem oblivious to the fact that the response is caused by seeing and reading the "joke" in the first place.  Whether I choose to write or not, the response to the "joke" has been already been felt.  I won't revisit this thread.

Bye bye

[DinoToyForum]

Again, if you don't like my jokes, then don't respond to them. My jokes aren't worth you or anyone else getting upset about. Now I'm waiting for some figures to arrive.

If you look upthread you'll see someone else who made light of this epidemic killing hundreds of thousands of our relatives and friends. That member did the right thing when they realised how insensitive it is to joke about something so serious, which affects us all so personally – they recognised their comments were misjudged and offered an apology. If you look upthread you can see our responses to that member, which could easily substitute as responses to your posts. I'm sure you didn't intend to upset anyone so I'm confident you will follow suit and recognise how inappropriate your post was when you realise how universally upsetting and provocative it is.

Indeed, your posts above are provocative and I could justify taking action as per forum rule 1. "No intentional personal attacks, rudeness, or personal provocation." But I'd rather give you an opportunity to make amends.

[DinoToyForum]

  And your comment "Bye Bye" earns you a formal warning for breaking forum rule 1. You are new here so you might not know this forum isn't like other places on the internet. This is your last chance to be kind and remain a member of a friendly community.

Thank you dr admin. Sorry dr admin. Won't happen again.

[frank08]

But.... where's @Meilong? My friend, mei long. Did he get banned?

[DinoToyForum]

But.... where's @Meilong?

I banned and deleted @meilong because they posted a provocative post and it was probably a duplicate account (IP matched an existing member).

[frank08]

okay, I hope we can be friends

I get the feeling we in Dorset are going to see a spike in cases. So far we have been shielded from excess cases but every time the sun comes out we are put at risk. Yesterday we saw 500,000 out of towners migrate to the cost, jamming roads and behaving like an ill disciplined invading army. A major incident was declared and just look at the footage of the packed trains herding people down from London. No masks and standing room only on the trains. Madness.

We have July and August coming up and of course no foreign travel. It really feels like the Amity beach in Jaws, trying to keep the resort opening despite the obvious danger to everyone. Compounding our misery was the beach cafes supplying inordinate amounts of alcohol to inebriated people suffering from the sun. Multiple flash points along the 7 miles of beach and up to 40 tonnes of rubbish discarded. Whilst in the most part the vast majority were well behaved, the idiotic 1% of people accounted for 5,000 individuals which causes a lot of grief.

We also have a long promenade which is used by cyclist, skateboarders, people on scooters, roller skates etc and this runs by the beach. You can imagine the mayhem of those users trying to avoid the countless trippers not knowing the etiquette for going on the the prom. So we had numerous accidents and further flash points.

And I only wanted to go for a swim in the sea which is a couple of miles from my house. There were a huge number of people from the midlands and further afield there yesterday.

Fingers crossed few had covid or were in the stages they could transmit the disease. Otherwise, a lot of people will be affected.

Stay safe and local .

Numbers just spiked where I live, which stinks. The local museums have actually been taking action and making lots of limits on who is allowed to go to the museum.

[sauroid]

the numbers are increasing everywhere. the thought is scary but people seem to not care at all, thankfully there are still sensible people who follow what must be done to avoid infection.

Just moved recently, and I must say it seems as if people believe this virus does not exist. No mask and crowded areas all over the place, here in Georgia. Was not my choice to move during this time, it had to do with financial issues and this move was planned ahead before this whole pandemic. Cases are rising here in Georgia, but not as fast as other heavily populated states. Also, I am in a rather small part of the state, so cases are not as high as more populated areas. I am going to remain isolated for the time being. Currently, grocery shopping is an issue, and my recent visit to the local Target was a mess. Seeing people walk into crowds was scary to me, in addition to them not wearing a mask. No hate to those not wearing a mask, but it is best to remain safe than sorry. My family and I all wear mask, and try to remain isolated from the world.

It is sad to read all these comments about other people's experience. My condolences to those with loved ones and themselves struggling in this pandemic. Stay safe everyone.

Ah s***t here we go again: (that was me)

@frank08 Its like saying if i kill your mother, dont fight back. No, what anyone in the right mind would do that they will find that b*stard and rip his head off and stuff it in his *ss. You are like my younger dog, Rexy. He is very nice if you know him, and  he is also very smart. But outside when he sees a new dog he will always bark and bark until he gets the last bark.
I am not trying to say you are a idiot. You are a nice friend of mine. Just sometimes, you gotta teach em

It's absolute madness and deeply upsetting. Incomprehensible behaviour.

When you think about how Americans had to ration things like butter, sugar, and gasoline and reduce their usage of hot water and indoor heating during World War II, and how Britons had to ration even more and turn all their lights off at night lest their homes become prime bombing targets, you marvel at just how selfish and stupid western society has become since then.

Sadly they made it worse by abusing the emergency services, setting numerous fires through Ill guarded campfires and many other disgusting acts.

On the upside huge numbers of volunteers across Dorset have been out to clear it up including large numbers of that much maligned group - the teenager. Bravo to them.

USA's cases are getting uncontrollable. American DTF members please take care.

USA's cases are getting uncontrollable. American DTF members please take care.

Some of us do. My family started quarantine before they told us to do. But those Alabama idiots with their Covid parties are making it worse.

Theres three main options about what happens at the end of this event.

1.The virus is properly taken care of with vaccines or similar matters
2. The virus becomes part of us and thus is now a natural, harmless piece of genetic material thats passed onto humans of the future, kind of like that herpesvirus we inherited from early humans and a early human who ate raw proto-chimpanzee meat.(that one hominin is like the guy who ate the bat)
3. Extreme destruction/downfall/extinction

I hoping its number one, but based on whats going on, numbers 2 and 3 are gonna happen.



Also if theres a college proffeser or a scientist here, please correct me if im wrong, im just turned 13

[sauroid]

there's an old pestilence making a resurgence in China. i hope they'd be able to control it. im sick of all these crises already.
