I'm happy to discuss it with you @Milzy
Now you've offered a theory of the virus' source. There is plenty of scientific research available online that suggests the virus originated in animal to human transfer in China. So if you can give me something to support your theory then the discussion can start.

I'll PM any sources as it's forbidden here.
Thank you.

"The genomic features described here may explain in part the infectiousness and transmissibility of SARS-CoV-2 in humans. Although the evidence shows that SARS-CoV-2 is not a purposefully manipulated virus, it is currently impossible to prove or disprove the other theories of its origin described here. However, since we observed all notable SARS-CoV-2 features, including the optimized RBD and polybasic cleavage site, in related coronaviruses in nature, we do not believe that any type of laboratory-based scenario is plausible".

I'm not excusing his behaviour, but he is clearly unable to deal with a serious family problem, so he has run from it.
It's something I've seen before when a family is dealing with a tragedy, such as the death of a child.
The mother has the strength to keep the household ticking over for the other children, and the strength to deal with the string of visitors offering condolences.
Which in this example included me.
"Where's the lad's father?" I asked.
"Upstairs," she replied. "He's taken to his bed."

Needs to get a grip. I finished my a&e shift at 10:30 last night and headed to the 24 hour Asda with MrsF's shopping list. Only to be told it had closed at 10. Bummer, didn't burst into tears.

The message as the poster observed was written in Sun style, or rather an attempt to do so.
It is daft for anyone to use italics and the like only for the reader to have to unpick those devices to see the real message, whatever the reader's intellect.
There is a view that one of those devices can be used, not that I would.
Mixing them in the same piece is a definite no-no.
The piece also proves that while the Sun style is simple and direct, it is far from simple to imitate it well.
The shorter the words and sentences, the greater the expertise required to compose them.
As I've said before, any idiot can describe what happened in a road accident in 750 words.
Doing it in 160 - and crucially leaving nothing out - is a high art.

Boy your wasted in your job. You 1st have a believe that people like her are paid well now you sound like someone able to cope with anything.
So what you waiting for they are caring out for more nursers. If your lucky your trust may even pay you to train
This is just sick they need repotting to the CMA. They made it clear early on in this current situation.
They don't like it and will hit you with a big stick in the pocket.

I've just returned from Asda to get some new reading glasses after my old ones broke last night.
The store was very quiet, and as you might imagine, panic buying had not hit the reading glasses stand, so I picked up a couple of pairs.
I would have needed milk tomorrow, so it made sense to get some there.
No chance, none at all.
There was stuff on the shelves elsewhere, but almost certainly some other items would have been out of stock.
The thought of no cuppa tomorrow would send me into a panic, but happily a Spar shop on the way home had plenty.
I did have to buy a larger carton than usual, which is a slight pity because I only use a drop in tea so it might go off before I use it all.
