Some of us may also be doing that, if they spent their contracting income wisely and didn't spunk it on fast cars, faster women (or men, there are some on here that prefer 'the cock', as that geordie sally gal used to say, oh for the good old days when three letter acronyms went beyond AtW and his squirrel fetish ), and buying experiences over assets.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment

Coronavirus: What it does to the body
Then there's the issue with other illnesses being downgraded in urgency if this kicks off proper and all the hospitals are swamped with genuine or hypochondriac cases. Not enough trained staff to cope.
Now isn't a good time to be seriously ill and it will be an even worse time if it hits hard in the coming weeks.
