We were bored and decided to watch the UK news. They just said that the lockdown there may last for 6 months. Wow!

@Johnblackthorn I'm assuming that's the fallout rather than the isolation period? Lol

@Quizzical oh dear god no, we'll ne doing the social distancing for close to two years, the fall out will probably lead to a whole new lifestyle because of new habits formed.
now that we've finally taken working from home seriously it might be the death of the ridiculous practice of commuting just to work at a computer terminal.
we'll learn a lot of new habits in two years.

@Johnblackthorn I can't see people standing for social distancing for more than a couple of months tops.

@Quizzical we very quickly accepted sharing all our personal details and our location and photos with Google for pretty much no reason other than they want it, we welcome smart TVs into our homes despite the CIA/MI5 spyware weeping angel.
we'll adapt or get covid19 and a percentage of us will die.

@Johnblackthorn Such is nature.

I may be cold hearted, but I've never seen the sense in preserving the weakest links in a chain 🤷‍♂️

@Quizzical it's something that we do for all the wrong reasons.
One of the most annoying aspects of my job is tree preservation orders, they essentially mean we cant harvest prime mature timber, it has to stand there while time destroys it.
Sometimes our priorities are a bit skewed.
