My dear readers, I know that you are looking for leadership at this time of crisis and I feel that I with no medical knowledge or experience whatsoever should offer some advice. Afterall, if Trump is doing it, it must be grand.
Sure really it’s all a bit of common sense.
We all know that the best way to get better from something is to pass it on. This should be really easy in the open plan offices we have these days (don’t worry, I’m sorted). So god forbid you become infected, make sure to have a good cough here, there and everywhere. I’m sure you’ll get lucky. If there’s people you don’t like now would be time to spend some time with them.
Very important – remember the three second rule. Otherwise, I guess you really should think about washing things.
Don’t drink water. Only drink “living” water from fruit. Eh, you want to die being fashionable, don’t you? And everyone know germs need water to survive.
Make sure you have Netflix. Sometimes the apocalypse can be a tad slow and boring. You may have to spend a lot of time indoors.
Watch the Walking Dead and remember things could always be worse. Mmm scratch that one. It could teach you useful survival tips though.
Don’t plan for the future. There’s simply no point. No more studying or saving for trips that are now impossible.
Don’t panic. Only joking, of course you should! We’re all going to die.

Well readers, I am sure your all just as happy as me to hear that I’m still alive and kicking, well alive anyway.
I am here hunkered down in front of my computer typing away. Much like every other Saturday I guess, but now with a new found sense of doing my duty, even if I had feck all else to do anyway. If only it was always so easy to serve my country.
This crisis is having many profound effects on my psychology though and it may prove disastrous for my writing. Usually I thoroughly enjoy writing about misery and death, but recently it has not been the same. It’s like my heart’s not in it anymore. I’m even thinking about writing something happy instead, maybe even a romance novel or something. Ew! Maybe I have that infection already..
During these times of crisis I’m trying to keep my mind focused on the important things in life like house prices and what is happening to the ISEQ. Of course, making sure Ihave adequate tvs and working broadband to see me through any potential quarantine is also vital. So many things to worry about.
I am also worried about you my dear readers. Hopefully none of yous kick the bucket. That would be really bad for my site statistics.
Till next time. Remember to wash your hands!

Well hello, readers! I’m still here. Hey, I’m as surprised as anyone. This crisis we’re going through is shockingly boring though. I don’t know, I think I was expecting more excitement. Like if there was a nuclear war we could go outside and see the fireworks. Whereas this crisis is all about shutting yourself off from everything. Quite frankly, I would have prepared to read about it in the history books.
No sport too – what a disaster. At this stage, I’d be happy to watch two ants climbing a wall. But just my luck, I can’t find any. There is a spider but where’s the competition? Life is so cruel. Maybe what we need is a transfer market. So people can buy/sell their spiders and form teams. Then we could have a league. Maybe it’s the delirium but I feel it could work. To remember the olden times we could call it The Premiership.
So these days I’m working from home. Probably just as well, my hair is a mess. Honestly, next time I must get it cut before the world goes to hell. I get to look into a computer screen all day but at least I can turn on some music and wear my pajamas (so comfy). Guess things could be worse.
So, it looks like this evil coronavirus is going to long overstay its welcome. Remember everyone, wash your hands and coronavirus, please go away
