Morrissey Central CNN and Health Warning! (April 23, 2020)

I know, I know, you're not interested in the 'but its his site so therefore... debate. And you are right, because you know better. But for me, as a fan, it's all so frustrating...

Anyway, thank you very much for opening my eyes.
I don't know better. That's not my assertion. I assert a way to engage with information that attempts to present any supposition in a less concrete, definitive way (and uses first hand, anecdotal observation) - as facts are hazy to say the least. It's a form of argument quite a lot here struggle with and the source of most bickering.
If facts about something are unknown - there are a host of ways to make a point without pinning things on uncertainty.
I can only say what I see SER doing and then how it manifests on Central and put it out there for others to factor in to their thinking (hopefully).
Regards,
FWD.

FWD, your words at times, just , just poetic. ..... I luff them.....
 
Correct; I can’t switch off what I don’t switch on.
Then I feel it's my obligation to tell you the year is 3978 and the world is populated by mutants living in fear of gun carrying talking apes (actually that's not too far from the truth).

It’s years since I’ve seen this film. The first one rates as one of the best films of all time, and this one wasn’t too bad as I recall.

Hovis , I'm not into that many films at at all..... don't seem to have the attention span.... but I did see , the other night, a taste of honey...... can remember seeing this film when about 10 years olde, well before the boss stated it....... it's on par with Steptoe and son films, when Harold married zeta, the stripper..... two films that remain close to me to this day, also films by Norman wisdom and laurel and hardy, Harold Lloyd........
 
"Practice media distancing". Yet another childish facile attitude endorsed by Moz. If everyone ignored the media the coronavirus would be rampant. Now and again the media is useful. If Moz says "stop watching the news" because it is all lies and only frightens people, then why should we then listen to him, or anyone? Are we supposed to live in a bubble and enjoy royalties from album sales? The news is biased, yes, and fear sells. That's why we have common sense filters to stop listening when Presicunt Chump is on the News, or to take everything he says with a handful of salt. It doesn't mean we switch off the news and become intellectual hermits
What intellect is gained from watching the mainstream media? If you hadn't watched a single minute of fear porn about this caronavius, nothing in your life would have changed except you'd have less anxiety. All this insanity over something affecting .1% of the population is the same reason to disengage and say No

Say that to the twin 37 year olds who died within 3 days of each other. Someone gave them the virus. Possibly someone who ignored the media and contracted it by being stupid. I say possibly because I don't know how they got it. The lockdown isn't that hard. Buy some beer and sit in the garden with a good book and good music.

It says they both had underlining health issues but doesn't get into detail of course. It just says they also tested positive for caronavius. Face it, nobody of reasonable health is dying from this. Living in fear of something effecting under .1% of population is absurd. What rights are you gonna give up to feel safe?

I'm not staying in. I'm staying in my garden and enjoying the great weather. I don't wanna get it because it'll kill me. I don't wanna get it in case I pass it on to someone who it will kill. Some people with no underlying issues have died. Of all ages.

I agree GEM, be it subconscious or premeditated there is something ill with our response to this. And as someone apparently bring applauded on a Thursday night—I wish the Great British Public could/would do something useful instead: Words I can’t utter in my quietly fascist work context.

That said the quiet roads and evenings spent listening to the radio are scarcely hell on earth. I’d forgotten that Radio 3 is actually quite enjoyable.

If you're out gardening then that's awesome and exactly what people should be doing. However, an example of the sham the media is pulling, today some rapper died of "caronavius" but then you read the article and he was already having kidney failure and respiratory problems aside from getting "caronavius". This the case with majority of these, either old or already sick in some way. Healthy people have a higher chance of dying of the flu but I don't see people changing their lives and living in fear, giving over their rights for it. Wearing masks and sanitizing your hands all day is really unhealthy. The "news" had my Grandma scared she might die if she's out in public. She'll pass from stress before any virus. To me it makes Morrissey's statement relevant

Fat & smoking are 'underlying health issues'.

They're being squeamish about saying it in case it seems judgemental or nasty.

Do you realise that coronavirus IS a respiratory virus? That's what it does, it causes respiratory problems. That's why all the severely affected people in hospitals are all on respirators. And one of the life-threatening complications it can cause is kidney failure.

Oh I indeed like the quiet and I think this situation is making a lot of people rethink what is of value. I think there's a lot of good things about this but i don't enjoy that people are still led by a narrative so easily. Look at all the rights willingly giving up as a response to 9/11. Government has no power unless you give them consent. We gave them consent to fight the "fear"(Muslims) then and now with this fear(caronavius) how much are people willing to give consent to is both entertaining and disappointing

This was a guy who already had those problems prior to caronavius. And the fact remains all the deaths are getting lumped together and when you start seeing the pattern that the majority are people who are either elderly or have pre existing issues.
 
Benny, how’s the walking going olde boy!!!! I had a pleasant walk this afternoon along by Carlisle racecourse that goes into the sticks...... about 3 miles in olde money I’d say.... how’s the darts coming along...... are you and your lad expected to be on bullseye in the near future?????? Innnn one, 9 bottles of wine for that jolly occasion, innn two, You get the drift..... keep drinking and carry on...

Still walking in our glorious countryside, 15 miles on the mountain bike yesterday. (Paying for that today)
Bought myself a balance board for £16 off Amazon, great cheap bit of kit for body core training, loads of exercises you can do with it in your own home, 4ck the gym. (have a look on utube).
Also saw a post of yours about films/ Laurel n Hardy !
Chumps at Oxford is my all time favourite of there’s, absolute class.

Keep the Faith n Stay Safe Everyone
