Re: Coronavirus

Sorry but I think those who have never had a test are totally irresponsible and tbh it angers me that they can be so selfish. For all you know you could have spread it unknowingly and maybe even killed someone.

I take a test before I leave the house and I take a test if anyone is visiting me or I am visiting someone and I wear a well fitted mask and have done all along

Do you take a test for other things which could kill people too, such as flu?


Not saying you're wrong, just maybe a touch over-cautious. If you're in a crowded place with a lot of people you don't know taking a LFT beforehand is absolutely the right thing. But visiting friends - unless they're CEV - perhaps less important.

Maybe I am over cautious but I prefer that to being pig headed and selfish like some in this thread obviously are. A lot of my friends have elderly and infirm parents still and a good number of my circle are elderly or have health issues

End of the day when we come through all this and God willing I am still breathing. I will know I have done all I can for my fellow man so my conscience will be clear. I know the selfish will not give a toss but I hope one day it will dawn on them what kind of person they are

Oh, I’ve had several tests PCR and LFT, but regardless of that, I always go out unknowingly hoping to kill someone. Yes, I’m sure everybody does. I sometimes go out dressed as the Grim Reaper, just for the hell of it.

But you must be taking LFT tests then, and they’re woefully inaccurate, so just by leaving the house you’re risking other people you selfish *******. Stay indoors granny killer. Don’t you ever leave the house ever again murderer.


But in your head You’re a model citizen, I hope you feel superior.

You prefer being morally superior, in your own head. You obviously have a lack of status elsewhere in your life and can make up this quite quickly and cheaply by taking a perceived moral high ground against your peers. Whatever works for you.

I’m absolutely convinced they won’t give a toss, and will sleep very soundly at night, not caring about how virtuously corrupt they were compared to St Jay of the Virgin Moss.

You consider yourself a peer of mine? I do not think so somehow.
I am a highly thought of member of my congregation and help a lot of other members out with IT support and host most of our Zoom meetings so my status in real life where it matters is just fine ta

I am pretty sure Mr P not many care that much about you here really either.

Now talking of giving a toss I do not give one for what you do not like, just so you know

Once the Government makes it a rule (law) that everybody - no matter what age, gender, race, religion, marital status, occupation, disability, or political affiliation - has to take a test once a day, then, and only then, can people have a 'pop' at those who have had no reason to take one.

When that day comes however, it will be the day we all become chickens in cages . . .

Not that I am ever one to question a moderation instruction, but I think if someone on here accuses members, and indeed, moderators of this forum of “Killing” people. They should expect to be attacked.
