Just had a mail from Florida John ( for recent member he was a member on here for years and even came over for the Bash a few times )
I mailed him to ask how he is doing .. He is located in Ft Lauderdale

I am sure he will not mind me passing this on as it is VERY interesting !!



Good to hear from you!
All is well here. The media is crazy and spreading hysteria! My sister is a registered nurse at a major hospital in South Florida which is considered the epicenter for Florida. They prepared for 100’s of critical care cases of the Covid-19 but current yesterday they had 14 patients. The media is adding up all the deaths in the country daily and claiming they are all from the virus. The daily death rate has only increased by a single digit percentage as a result of the coronavirus. Stupid chaos and hysteria everywhere mainly due to going from the lowest unemployment rate in the history of the country to a new record high of over 30% unemployment.
Seems to be leveling off and hopefully will start moving back in the right direction in the next week.

This media hysteria is probably why gun sales have shot up, forgive the pun. Whereas our shops struggle to keep shelves stocked with bog roll, in parts of America they can't keep shelves stocked with guns. Going by comments made by new gun owners they seem to think law and order is going to break down with police unable to cope and owning a gun is the solution. Hope they manage to keep calm in the queues.

Yesterday at our local brand new Lidl, apparently well dressed middle aged man wearing a coat (in this weather) queued up, waited his turn then went in when signalled, he didn’t take a trolley & left the store a little while later apparently with 14 bottles of Vodka stuffed in his coat, staff saw him but wouldn’t challenge him, he walked out & walked away unchallenged.

I follow American news from Pamela Geller. She’s Jewish and extreme right-wing (pro-Trump and anti-Islam as opposed to racist) and claims to report what the media (whom she refers to as the ‘enemedia’) is too afraid to.

Over the past week, she’s been reporting that the Chinese have been fudging their death and infection figures for COVID-19, as if we didn’t know that already. However, it’s interesting that she’s stating that funeral homes have been ordering ridiculous amounts of urns for ashes and that the crematoriums are working flat out through the night to cope with the death rate. She’s gone on to say that authorities are bagging those live sufferers of the virus ‘who are going to die soon anyway’ and cremating them just to make space for the treatable; I find this particular claim to be a little disturbing and I’m or sure of I believe it but at the same time, it wouldn’t surprise me one jot.

She’s also been hammering the Democrats for standing in the way of the distribution of hydroxychloroquine, which is apparently the most effective treatment for COVID-19 so far.

NBC News are also the subject of her attention, as the are apparently bigging up the Chinese for controlling the virus and returning their country to normal.

It’s worth pointing out that Ms. Geller has been found out for stretching the truth on occasion so some of what she writes has to be taken with a slack handful of salt. Bit like every other journalist, so nothing new there then.

She does not have big tits.

If you'd have put that at the start, instead of at the end... :p
Such an act would bear no fruit, Mastaaaah. My method encourages the reader to continue to the end :D
