A Tissue

Had a good day today.Went out for lunch and to visit another town where me and my partner both bumped into people from work. Small world. I see the Pandemic news is quietening down but not before the headless chicken syndrome of spending loads of money on advertising. I somehow think that if this had been as serious as they had made out, that the Funeral industries would have been briefed. Lets pretend it was a pandemic and worse than anyone expected. Firstly it is hoped that the undertakers would be immunised against the virus (depending on if they had created an anti virus in time and the latest one is 4 months off) also coffin manufacturers would be alerted , cheaper wood, chipboard, cardboard would be brought in, and many more basic coffins would be made. Funerals themselves would be cut from the 40 minute average service., to straight in the crem and straight out. There would be no viewing and definitely no dressing in clothes, the coffin being sealed immediately the body was collected.. Funerals would go on through the day and night. Pretty scary huh? It makes me smile that the Government made TV adverts telling you to cough and sneeze into your hand or hanky then wash your hands. There are some people who have never done this since they had been born and the advertising would be a complete waste on them as they will never understand. It is these folk who would eventually be responsible for spreading the virus and they would be oblivious to the fact. That is until thousands had died and then they would be set upon in the streets as people got wise to the possible outcome of their unhygienic ways. Could be a science fiction story and yet again it could turn out to be real as a similar thing happened in a village not far from here. It was called Eyam.
