In February he had warned me of the impending pandemic and that he and I probably wouldn't survive cos of underlying. I reminded him of this conversation and told him to put his tin helmet back on.......now!

Geof, That definitely trumps it but what the heck is the matter with these educated people, they seem to care far less than the general populace I think it's the arrogance myself.
