JB: Your defeatist statement is hugely inaccurate, Babies and children are taken by this virus.

Moreover not all the old folk are useless appendages, some are still contributing manning ICU's and taking care of often younger folk etc-etc!

In fact, there is a call for those health care professionals in the ranks of the recently retired, to front up and man the barricades! Which no doubt will ensure some of them, pay the ultimate price?

You personally with your current contribution may not be sorely missed? But part of a mostly useless, unloved minority? And therefore, no loss?

Be careful what you wish for.
Take care, if only to protect those you still cherish!

In August 2019, Arthur Dent said that Boris Johnson couldn’t deliver Brexit. Just in case you think you should be listening to him. And he watches 4 Corners. And he changed his name. He used to be the notorious Albert Langer. And he proudly admits to being a left-wing activist.

I always read contributors’ biographies first. That saves a lot of tedious poring through stuff you are never going to agree with. Arthur/Albert is not interested in anything you say, and nothing he says will make a jot of difference to how the people who have to deal with the China virus act now, or in the future.

The Coronavirus came from Fort Detrick.

It was covered by the media as a vaping-illness.

Next it found it's way to Milan not China.
From Milan it spread to China from garment manufacturing for the Military Games in Wuhan.

You can either believe mainstream media and the WHO war criminals narratives or listen to alternative news and take the word of virologists and epidemiologists, but in any case what we all should be supporting is a billion dollar investigation to get to the bottom of this.

Get the facts.

You want to know whose to blame for all this?
People in labs weaponising viruses for use as bioweapons, and those who would use them.
Are they not all playing around with WMD's?
- WMD's that don't have nuclear codes?

have not blamed the Jews yet Armchair? The lefties have beaten you by blaming it on climate change.

JBowyer… chin up, I just turned 60 this year, my third trimester, who knows if the lefties don't insist we are all converted to "Solient Green" at 90, I might even make it past 90, like my Grannies and mother!

This COVID-19/99gg killer virus will be fascination to watch both when its history is written and the consequences re Chai-na and WHO' twisted responses come out.

So don't worry old chap, we oldies a have far more spunk in our blood. it will take more than this COVID-19 strain to knock us out, no matter how hard the likes of Grimacing-Greta 'sweams' at us!

Well said Runner.. nothing else needed here! as for "Armchair theatres" Fake news (something the NYT is so infamous for and worse than CNN, ABA and BBC combined).... I thought the X-fikes and National Inquirer were wacky!
