Originally from the UK I retired & moved to Spain 20 years ago, whilst it's not paradise it's probably as close as I'll ever come to it, living on a mountain with the sea in front & mountains behind & 320 days of sunshine a year. Still reasonably fit

He can't tell governments what to do, but by telling the priests publicly what to do, then he is letting the governments know as well.
We all have different jobs to do
sorry I am feeling full sympathy when seeing all the coffins lined up in Italy and if a dying person gets comfort from a God well so be it.
Anyway we're drifting into a religious argument here
I would not feel better with a prayer or the such like but I know folk that get comfort that way, I will not knock religion it has always had a place in this world whether we all believe or not.
These are people who have always preached they and God are there and you want them to step daintily back and say oh no son not last rites go die alone?
Those are asked for last rites believe in their religion, and those who gave them, risking their lives, believe too. The Pope ordered no-one forward. Any priest leaving his parishioners to die uncomforted and unassured they go into the afterlife they believe in, would have lived a lifelong lie.
They don't, priest or parishioner, deserve anyone's mockery simply because they lived by different beliefs and died comforted.
When has a general ever lead his army from the front line
He sends in his troops as cannon fodder while he stays safe well away from the action.
And anyway IF God didn't create this virus as a test for his followers then they should accept that they are in his hands and if he wants them to join him then they should be more than happy doing his work
Since there is a shortage of masks...and the novel corona virus is taking lives of healthcare workers and creating shortages of healthy healthcare workers (you are automatically isolated and not in a position to work if you test positive for the virus)...it is important that people practice social distancing and not go into the hospital...unless you have respiratory distress...visitors are restricted but end of care patients can have a visitor with some restrictions in place...stay in the patient's room but do have bathroom privelages...
Enjoy your staycation...
You are missed by all I can only think the isolation is getting to you. Bad news coverage and then us ladies
I got my message for 3 months isolation do not know how I will cope with all of that but cope I will. I will be the fittest 72 year old bird
I want there to be no social gatherings.
Some people are still too thick or brazen to do it voluntarily I'm afraid.
Absolutely. Too many idiots thinking they know better.
Take care over there.
The cases are still growing as in all countries, but are not out of control. Yet at least.
I'm as happy as you that hugging parties aren't happening.
Have seen 2 people I know in the last 2 weeks.
I have seen one person I know, once a week, in the last 3 weeks, because I was self-isolating before the lockdown. The streets are empty when I walk my dog and shopkeepers are just eyes over a mask.
I have NO IDEA what my phone bill will be after this but I may have to sell the house to pay it
You can't sell MY house
Especially for the poor Zimbabweans.
Corrupt governments
You always saw yourself as the weak one..Look what you bloody did for me woman..You just don't realise your worth..I do believe that what you did for me you could use that tool to do for others as employment for real
It was a horrible feeling..I was thinking of really sad things of my past just always teary..Didn't want to get out of bed..I have no clue if that was the start of depression but what ever it was it scared me..I so hope you realise what you did for me..I put on a front of happiness with my son and friends on the phone because I felt ashamed of lying to them not telling them how I was really feeling as I didn't want to worry them.
Stay home !
