This is in bad taste, Brenski. It's not the time for politics, neither yours nor mine.

he's old, it gets the message across...and yes it's a little political joke. so what.
it's a bit of gallows humour.
I get that, but we need to avoid political polarization at this time. We're in a period of tremendous social strain, unlike anything in peacetime since the Spanish flu.
Just imagine that you'd have a Labour government now, and people were making those kinds of jokes about Tories. I'm sure you wouldn't enjoy that, and that would lead to further division and anger, too. Let's lay off each other's political sensibilities for now, just like we'd do in wartime. Because that's basically what this is.

At least certain ignorant people are no longer calling it a hoax!
London lockdown is probably imminent if people do not take the advice on social distancing.
We are about a week or so behind France, so yeah, it's coming soon.
France was in lock-down yesterday, so we will also be locked down within the week.

Ignorant press.
I'm certainly not trying to minimize the severity of the CoVid-19 virus, but it might behoove us to also keep in mind the following statistic from the CDC:
The number of people who have died from *seasonal influenza* so far has now reached 20,000, including 136 influenza-associated deaths in children, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported as of February 29.
I certainly was unaware that so many had perished from the "common flu".
