Corona Virus: How Are We Doing?

There's some awful corvid humour out there on social media. Plus many are going to be in financial ruin. I fail to see the funny side of all this.

There's no need to crow about it.

That's because you are not grasping that when life puts you in a difficult situation humour is very important as a coping mechanism. Hence the term "gallows humour". Most people like to keep their spirits up rather than sitting gibbering incoherently in a corner.

People are putting up material joking about the C-19 but when I had a conspiracy theory I was flamed with the post removed.
It's disgusting and disrespectful to all the families involved. Different rules for different people.

Are you getting insufficient attention at home or something?

It is not spreading lies it's discussion material. Humour out of the misery of others, well if that's ok you're a sick individual.

When you think it is happening, call it out.

Is there any here we can debate?

Just been to the local supermarket to get flowers for MIL (she's in a Nursing Home). My word, the place was gutted. Picked up a couple of tins of cat food (won't go far with 5). On the funny side, the loo roll aisle was full of mother's day flowers !

I've popped into Morrison's this afternoon, and one upside of the acres of empty shelves in certain aisles was that the cleaners were really going for it, because they could actually get to them.

Anybody got any strange chest sensations yet?

Shocking scenes in Tesco Stirling today. 3 grown men fighting an old lady for the last four-pack of toilet roll. Of course, I rushed over to help and between us we managed to get it off the old bat.

I work for a company that makes anti bacterial soap and we were all given 10 litres for our own personal use today. My daughter and I decided that the village care home would benefit from it more than us, so we dropped 5 litres off this evening on our dog walk. Big virtue signalling post I know, sorry about that 😇

It’s called black humour and is a coping mechanism under extreme circumstances. You’ll find it very much with medical staff who see death and suffering day in day out. As well as mountaineers and climbers who see their friends and climbing partners die. There will be other groups.

A very good mate of mine lost his leg in a motorbike accident some time ago - very lucky to survive the crash.
When we met up some months later for a curry, I told him he could only have one pint, I did not want him completely legless.
He loved it.

It is a way of talking about tough stuff without being maudlin.
