CORONAVIRUS PANIC WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE

[Poopadoop]

I would not be upset if the price of fruit (or anything else) went up a bit if it meant workers were not being exploited as a consequence. But that's just me.

signing back in having survived coronavirus .

Wifes a nurse and she had 2 weeks annual leave pre lockdown , went back in and worked 1 shift and 4 days later fell ill with temperature and lethargy and 4 days later i went down with it but not as bad as her.Was Ok ish for about a week and then more or less slept for 3 days.
Wife had it a lot worse and she had the secondary pneumonia with strong antibiotics prescribed and been in bed for about 3&1/2 weeks .

luckily , kids havent even had a sniffle.

Its horrible when you get it and only dickheads would question how badly people have suffered with it or ignore social distancing. You may be ok if you catch it but its the healthcare workers and their familes that will end up paying the price of your ignorance.

One of the most naive posts ever made ..... anyone remember when UK supermarkets paid an extra couple of pence a litre to pass back to the farmers , a couple of months later the price of milk stayed up and the supermarkets had "renegotiated " the price back down so that the extra couple of pence everyone thought was going to the farmers sat on the supermarkets bottom line.

Glad you and your family are doing better.

Hmm, not sure where in my post I said I'd be happy if the price went up so supermarkets could get richer, but ok.

I think the point he's making is that any price increase that is designed to increase revenue for producers ultimately ends up in the pockets of big businesses. There may be a temporary windfall for farmers, but the supermarkets hold all the aces.
