His expectant partner is also apparently affected by the virus and I wish them all well. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G965F 聽 I was leaning more towards him not being as bad and getting more of a "cautious" course of treatment than you or I would receive, but you could be right...聽 Either way it should send a message to people that NOBODY is above the virus.聽 Just today there has been another spate of deaths at a Scottish care home, the second one that I've heard of.聽 Terrible for those families who put their elderly relatives in a home so they would live out the rest of their lives in peace and comfort, only to die of this and the relatives not being able to say goodbye. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is very true.聽 I try not to focus on any one person more than another though, so I wish everybody with the virus all the best, whether they are the prime minister or somebody in a council flat.聽 Regardless every life is important and everybody suffers the same whether they are in the news or not. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do hope that one outcome of all this is that we reassess the value of such people compared to, for example, premier league footballers and chief executives on packages in the 拢millions. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly agree there. Don't get me wrong doctors for example do help people but I feel nurses help a lot more. I've come across a few nurses who don't like some patients who don't treat them the same as doctors. Yeah some don't like being around people who are earning a lot more than them when they have knowledge on certain aspects.聽 I do wish nurses get a higher salary especially for what they have to study for to become one.聽 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zain611 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 So went sainsburys with mum to get my beard trimmer from the argos inside and some food. Was a long queue going around the side of the place. Took 1 hour 40 minutes to get in. Near the entrance I was told not more than 1 adult per group so had to let mum go in alone and sit in the car.聽 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zico Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Bank holiday weekend, sun and barbecues, without the virus the supermarkets would be busy.

I've got a Braun electric shaver that I've had for about 4 years now and still impressed with it.聽 I seemed to cut myself every single time I wet shaved (for about 10 years!) but not at all since getting this.聽 battery still holds plenty of charge too. Both my Dad and maternal Uncle lost their hair fairly early so there wasn't much chance for mine!聽 I do buy the L'Oreal Men Triple Resist Shampoo when it's on offer but I'm very sceptical that it can actually do anything! 聽 聽 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
