TFF teaches us a lot about society.

You should check your sources, corvid 19 gives a dry cough according to all authorities

You could actually try and read what I wrote.

I find TFF really interesting on all matters agricultural and in general .
When the odd member starts to get amusement by trying to make light hearted entertainment of Covid19 by their comments on TFF , I find that is in very poor taste

I’ve been thinking about your subject and how to answer it. TFF caters for all sorts. For example you get the light hearted opinions through to very interesting exchanges of views particularly on the cropping and Direct drilling sections which I’m sure many value, via the myriad of all sorts of sometimes interesting and sometimes bordering on silly posts. One thing I do note is that when a contributor is ill or worse passes away, you see the true colour of regular posters on here which goes some way to making up for the more argumentative exchanges. I wonder what @Clive & Co thought it would pan out?

is it right that bo-jo is in intensive care

Yes

Chances you will die from corvid-19?

Chances you will die if you need respiratory suppory and none is provided= ~100%.

I'm not much of a gambler.

I suspect Ollie that is a little pessimistic!

I did several times!

Then why did you imagine that I wrote something that I didn't?

What a depressing thread!

A wise man once told me, don't worry about what you can't change. And to that I'll add, don't speculate about the future because in my experience it will surprise you.

But you can change it . By staying at home

Well they don't put people on respirators for the lulz, I can imagine it is invasive and unpleasant, at least if you were conscious. I'd rather not chance my arm on this occasion.

My wife says you have to be in induced coma to be put on a ventilator.

Absolutely. I would not want to have it done to me whilst conscious.

If any of you think TFF humour is in bad taste I hate to think how you’d react to my Whatsapp group full of Glaswegian soldiers, riggers and merchant sailors.

Sounds like a great place to be

TFF is like church compared to a bunch of kiwi misfits, our only rules are don't use the group to deal drugs or share low-grade porn

I have from the start believed in percentages 1000 dead or 20000 dead sounds horrendous but there are 60 million plus in the UK. This is a farming forum and when we discuss livestock we talk of
mortality rates we sneer at vegans and their dislike of the meat trade etc but when something like this comes along we all become quite nervous. We now live in an age where people can be kept alive possibly longer than they should and i am speaking from personal experience here.Maybe what are seeing in Europe is like swine flu going through a high health pig herd and what we really need is to pick up a bit of immunity. I am sure people will feel this callous bit it's not meant to be offensive but practical.

Practical goes out the window when dealing with the human species' relationship with death.
If you had a paddock of mixed age livestock, some will be always kicking the bucket and new life replaces those.

Main difference is that if you have something like salmonella or toxo rip through the flock, the living sheep aren't all in a mad panic and hanging on the latest bit of gossip, so they are happy in life.
By comparison we spend every day dying and living, the sheep only die one day of their life

Friends of mine on FB (of which you are one) will see I mainly post cow pictures and things of rural beauty and interest like landscapes. FB can be a positive place and a way of keeping in touch with like minded folks and without it I probably wouldn't have some international friends

Facebook can be absolutely dire and downright disgusting on one hand yet it can be on the other hand absolutely hilarious, the ability to be in contact with someone as if you saw them just yesterday or 30 years ago makes no difference.????
