Bobbing on the ocean: The waiting game

September 15

So here we sit, waiting for the call to go and help. I reckon one of the hardest things about these damn pandemics is the sitting about. Yeah yeah, I know getting sick and carking it is the worst, but leaving that aside, it’s the boredom. What’s to do except sit on the computer and read idiot stuff posted by dreks like WWW? Hey WWW (which probably actually stands for WHERESmyWANDERINGWIT), did you read Doc Fellowes’s article (see see FarleyWang's comment, Sept 13)? Just in case you couldn’t understand all the scientific words, what he says is THIS DISEASE HASN’T COME FROM TARIS.

So. I’ve volunteered to do nursing. (Sorry, Mum.) Last time I was too young to do anything and this time I want to be in amongst it. Be even better to help with the research but construction engineers don’t know too much about bugs.

But hey, didya hear that Vima has gone to help with the research? Of course she’s had to take wee Wilfred, so I’m hoping she doesn’t have to do anything too buggy.

No matter how stridently BoatBoy and his ilk might shout about the supposed innocence of Taris, the fact remains that we’re now in the middle of a full-blown pandemic that just happened to start a few days after the Taris mob got here. Coincidence? Come on people! Don’t swallow that!

WWW, you don’t address the points raised by Dr Fellowes.

Look, doesn’t matter if that Taris lot did or didn’t bring the disease. It’s here now and all we can hope is that they’ll all catch it and die. No bombs needed.

That Vima. Helping, is she? Well, makes a good story but it doesn’t convince me. How do we know she’s not deliberately bungling the results? Tell me that.

No mother of a new baby would do anything to put their kid in danger. Listen up, all you idiots: stop inventing rumours. All this stuff you’re putting up is so obviously wrong if you bother to even take into account a tiny number of facts. Let me remind you that it’s AGAINST THE LAW to incite hatred. It’s AGAINST THE LAW to spread false rumours about the origin of a pandemic. So watch yourselves.
