During one of my final (normal) appointment\u2019s yesterday (Friday 20th March) I had the privilege to speak with an overworked intensive care doctor.<\/p>\n

I won’t post what he told me about COVID-19 as we should all try and remain as positive (but vigilant) as possible. However, his words regarding the pathology of this virus were sobering at best.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve struggled not to get involved in arguments with people whom I consider good friends as well as those who deserve a hard kick in the genitals. The one thing that unites them all though is the terrifying level of ignorance on display.<\/p>\n

So, if you\u2019re someone who thinks the situation we are in is being blown out of proportion, take yourself off into a crowded room full of other similar minded fuckwits and leave the rest of us to try and get through unscathed.<\/p>\n

The best analogy for me is comparing the idiot deniers to those massive bellends who think they\u2019re still amazing drivers after they\u2019ve been drinking. This isn\u2019t a problem if they drive around killing themselves, but it often happens that the dickheads take innocent people along with them on their final trips.<\/p>\n

Please don\u2019t be cunts, it\u2019s hard enough trying to make ends meet let alone dying because of your pathetic and ridiculously misguided ignorance.<\/p>\n

Stay\u00a0safe everyone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
