So to sum up the article, some people who were prohibited from having guns, got their hands on some guns, and then shot at each other. Okay, so how is gun prohibition going to stop criminals from getting guns?

@GipsyOfNewSpain Not so far fetched I understand crossbows are commonly used for hunting and in some areas all hunting is by crossbow.

@Allamanda Simply reason, and sites like this.
What I was trying to say,poorly, was that Christianity did not spread as a virus does by instant contact from person to person.but In many cases by coercion and bribery. Islam was spread by armed conflict and then by bribery as Muslims were taxed less than Christians and Jews.

Picked this off Facebook. Could explain why youger people are falling ill :-
friend just posted this from a doctor friend here in UK and it clearly explains why gathering in groups can lead to very serious health consequences even for younger people. It was written for the people in the UK but it applies to everyone else as well and makes a lots of sense .....
“Why do we need to shut places where people group?
Remember this: VIRAL LOAD
There will be a lot about this. Why is it important?
With this virus, the amount of virus in your blood at first infection directly relates to the severity of the illness you will suffer. This isn’t unusual - HIV management is all about reducing viral load to keep people alive longer. BUT it’s very important in COVID-19.
So if you are in, say, a pub or religious building or entertainment venue with 200 people and a large number don’t have symptoms but are shedding, you are breathing in lots of droplets per minute and absorbing a high load of the virus. In a crowded space. They become ill over the next 48 hours. You then three days later wonder why you can’t breathe and end up in hospital. You’d decided because you were young and healthy it wasn’t going to be a problem. Wrong.
Fortunately but unfortunately because the elderly are isolating quite well, the initial UK data suggests that all age groups above 20 are almost equally represented in ITUs in England. Most of the cases are in London but the wave is moving outwards.
This means that being under 60 and fit and well doesn’t seem to be as protective as we thought. Why? Viral load.
This may be skewed simply by the fact that too many Londoners didn’t do as asked and congregated in large groups in confined spaces and got a large initial viral load. They then went home and infected their wider families. Which is why, as London is overwhelmed, we need to shut everything down to save the rest of the UK. We are a week at most behind London.
Our sympathies go out to the families affected in London and the critical care teams battling right now to save as many as they can.
If I sit with one person and catch this virus, I get a small viral load. My immune system will start to fight it and by the time the virus starts replicating, I’m ready to kill it.
No medicines will help this process meaningfully hence there is no “cure” for this virus. All we can do is support you with a ventilator and hope your immune system can catch up fast enough.
If I sit in the same room with six people, all shedding I get six times the initial dose. The rise in viral load is faster than my immune system can cope with and it is overrun. I then become critically ill and need me (or an ITU/HDU specialist) to fix it instead of just being at home and being ok in...

10 March at 22:42 ·
I am writing to you from Bergamo, Italy, at the heart of the coronavirus crisis. The news media in the US has not captured the severity of what is happening here. I am writing this post because each of you, today, not the government, not the school district, not the mayor, each individual citizen has the chance, today to take actions that will deter the Italian situation from becoming your own country’s reality. The only way to stop this virus is to limit contagion. And the only way to limit contagion is for millions of people to change their behavior today.
If you are in Europe or the US you are weeks away from where we are today in Italy.
I can hear you now. “It’s just a flu. It only affects old people with preconditions”
There are 2 reasons why Coronavirus has brought Italy to it’s knees. First it is a flu is devastating when people get really sick they need weeks of ICU – and, second, because of how fast and effectively it spreads. There is 2 week incubation period and many who have it never show symptoms.
When Prime Minister Conte announced last night that the entire country, 60 million people, would go on lock down, the line that struck me most was “there is no more time.” Because to be clear, this national lock down, is a hail mary. What he means is that if the numbers of contagion do not start to go down, the system, Italy, will collapse.
Why? Today the ICUs in Lombardy are at capacity – more than capacity. They have begun to put ICU units in the hallways. If the numbers do not go down, the growth rate of contagion tells us that there will be thousands of people who in a matter of a week? two weeks? who will need care. What will happen when there are 100, or a 1000 people who need the hospital and only a few ICU places left?
On Monday a doctor wrote in the paper that they have begun to have to decide who lives and who dies when the patients show up in the emergency room, like what is done in war. This will only get worse.
There are a finite number of drs, nurses, medical staff and they are getting the virus. They have also been working non-stop, non-stop for days and days. What happens when the drs, nurses and medical staff are simply not able to care for the patients, when they are not there?
And finally for those who say that this is just something that happens to old people, starting yesterday the hospitals are reporting that younger and younger patients – 40, 45, 18, are coming in for treatment.

10 March at 22:42 ·
I am writing to you from Bergamo, Italy, at the heart of the coronavirus crisis. The news media in the US has not captured the severity of what is happening here. I am writing this post because each of you, today, not the government, not the school district, not the mayor, each individual citizen has the chance, today to take actions that will deter the Italian situation from becoming your own country’s reality. The only way to stop this virus is to limit contagion. And the only way to limit contagion is for millions of people to change their behavior today.
If you are in Europe or the US you are weeks away from where we are today in Italy.
I can hear you now. “It’s just a flu. It only affects old people with preconditions”
There are 2 reasons why Coronavirus has brought Italy to it’s knees. First it is a flu is devastating when people get really sick they need weeks of ICU – and, second, because of how fast and effectively it spreads. There is 2 week incubation period and many who have it never show symptoms.
When Prime Minister Conte announced last night that the entire country, 60 million people, would go on lock down, the line that struck me most was “there is no more time.” Because to be clear, this national lock down, is a hail mary. What he means is that if the numbers of contagion do not start to go down, the system, Italy, will collapse.
Why? Today the ICUs in Lombardy are at capacity – more than capacity. They have begun to put ICU units in the hallways. If the numbers do not go down, the growth rate of contagion tells us that there will be thousands of people who in a matter of a week? two weeks? who will need care. What will happen when there are 100, or a 1000 people who need the hospital and only a few ICU places left?
On Monday a doctor wrote in the paper that they have begun to have to decide who lives and who dies when the patients show up in the emergency room, like what is done in war. This will only get worse.
There are a finite number of drs, nurses, medical staff and they are getting the virus. They have also been working non-stop, non-stop for days and days. What happens when the drs, nurses and medical staff are simply not able to care for the patients, when they are not there?
And finally for those who say that this is just something that happens to old people, starting yesterday the hospitals are reporting that younger and younger patients – 40, 45, 18, are coming in for treatment.

Moravian replies on Mar 12, 2020:
@Geoffrey51 He along with the two senior medical people gave a sober, measured press confeence. The attempts at containing the virus are past and the intention is now to slow down the infection rate so that the NHS can cope in a time when they tend to be busy anyway. There was sensible advice to those who may be infected and care of those susceptible to more serious health problems. The worst case scenario is that 80% of the population will be infected and there will be deaths in the vulnerable sections of society.

This has upset young Trump, Eric I think, who had some rather unflattering things to say about the MSP.
As we have had no success in extraditing the woman who killed the young motorcyclist in England I Doubt if we will ever see Trump in a Scottish court to answer those charges.

@TheMiddleWay "But by now it was midday and a darkness fell over the whole land which lasted until three in the afternoon; The sun's light failed" From the new English bible at the time of the crucifiction.
I'm sure more than one biblical scholar has tried to tie this great event in with a total eclipse in the area but for three hours ?. That's stretching it a bit.
I have watched a young English illusionist who calls himself Dynamo and two young guys from Aberdeen who's names I forget re enact all those so called miracles including bringing the dead back to life. Very entertaining but not exactly novel.
The bible is entertaining reading but to put any credence on it being factual or truthfull beggars belief.

You seem to be confusing the old testament with the new. Christianity was a Jewish cult that got lucky but had nothing to do with the Torah apart from the fact that Jesus was a Jew.
Moravian replies on Mar 9, 2020:
@Mofo1953 As I said, Jesus was a Jewish preacher (if such a person existed)and as such obviously believed in the Jewish laws. The writings attributed to his teaching obviously reflected this but you certainly know your bible. Some good stuff there but it doesn't compare with the genocide in the old testament

It was thought at first the virus crossed from snakes to humans but now it is thought more likely to be from bats.

Those are good examples of "willful ignorance." Science is the best way to dispel such ignorance.

I think after hearing the denials that she’s being kept in the dark because the security chiefs and top civil servants at the Home Office think she’s too thick, I can see how funny this is. It’s a serious matter though, and she’s so stupid she doesn’t realise that it’s her very ...

It worries me that Cummings appears to have so much influence. Boris is no fool and I wonder if he uses him as he does the likes of the Home secretary and Chancellor. In The Times today an article about Cummings being successful with his govt spending review including a reduction in the size of the army, although if that limits our ability to drop bombs on foreigners it can't be all bad.

I like the cartoon. Most apt!
Moravian replies on Feb 26, 2020:
It's from The Times. Thier cartoons are usually good. I subscribe to the paper every day and although it is one of the Dirty Diggers tabloids and has a few right wing columnists it is usually fairly balanced newswise.

@MsDemeanour You certainly have the pedigree so hope you can visit the old country sometime.
I have cousin who lives near Sydney who has asked me over for a holiday but the distance puts me of. Maybe some day.

@MsDemeanour Very well put. There is another post by CyKlone complaining that members recovering from indoctrination are unfairly criticised. I'm afraid I can be guilty of that and have been blocked by a couple of members for being less than sympathetic to their troubles. Must try harder :-)

I bet the Spanish are just itching to throw to throw out all the British crims who infest the Costas in droves. Now that we’re no longer in EU I expect the Tories won’t be so happy about taking back control of our expat criminal element.

Well played England! See how great a sport I am.

Disappointing but who do we support now ?. I would like to see France win the grand slam but I also want Scotland to beat France but this may help England to win the tournament. Life can be difficult at times.
