I’m not at all impressed with many FReepers. Many seem snarkier than normal. I enjoy a little snark but I was just embarrassed yesterday. A FReeper posted that her 2 year old granddaughter, who lived far away wandered out of the house. She frantically posted and asked for prayers. Thankfully the child was found safe. She was hiding in the house.

Some snark master posted and asked why the grandma wasted time posting and wasn’t out searching.

I called on him to apologize but of course I didn’t see one.

Btw, 84 million Americans have prediabetes, and 30 million have diabetes. Combined, about half of American adults.

I am a huge admirer of him. But he doesn’t have enough experience to be PM. He is currently Leader of the House of Commons, which is his first cabinet level position. He needs some other experience and a few more years on the front bench before he could be considered for the top job.

His amazing poise and prodigeous intellect would go a *long* way.And remember,there's at least one world leader who had *no* government experience before assuming high office.

He/She was being sarcastic.

The poster is celebrating this news because he is an ardent WuFlu Fanboi.

The FR WuFlu Fanbois celebrate our current house arrest and the destruction of the economy. They also wish for as many deaths as possible, so they can brag “See, Flubros! We told you so!!”

They are ghouls.

I saw that thread. I think there was one or two snarkers.

I know the first one had his post removed and the admin moderator told him to leave the thread.

It is sadly amazing how many FReepers are freaking out. Like Flubros who claim this It’s just a hoax. Or those who overdramatize the measures the president is taking.

Wishing Boris well was the first thing Trump said at the press briefing earlier tonight. This tells me that this is serious.

Thanks for the update - not good at his age. A large percentage who go on the machine don’t make it. Prayers up.

JanetJanet How many UK leaders have been hospitalized from the flu in the past?

This is media hype

Yup, the 70K deaths worldwide and the shutting down of most economies is a DNC and deep state and Tory plot.

Those folks who died didn't really die - it's a billion-strong conspiracy to take down the American economy, right?

Good sarcasm btw :)

Rees-Mogg? 'Amazing Intellect'?? Surely you joke?

As for who deputises for the PM - it's the current holders of the 'great offices of state' in order of precedence. That means first Foreign Sec. (Raab), then Chancellor of Exchequer (Sunak), then Home Sec. (Patel).

(I think this must be the first time in history that all three offices are held by the children of immigrants: respectively Czech, Punjabi Indian via Uganda, Gujerati Indian via Uganda. Odd to think that Idi Amin's expulsion of the 'Ugandan Asians' all those years ago would have such far-reaching influence on British life.)

OK...I'm certainly not going to argue British politics with you,winniesboy.But from what I see on youtube (and one of my favorite youtube topics is your Parliament) I do see an impressive intellect.Of course there could be something I'm missing that you're not.

And as for hierarchy I understand that in your system it means a lot...just as it does in ours (Vice President,Speaker of the House,Secretary of State,etc).

I'd would be interested to hear you explain how Jacob's intellect is lacking however.

True but it seems to have particularly . virulent with this virus. Perhaps some mechanism in the way it infects?
