How stupid is this ?

[RAPTOREX]

A Group of 3 or 4 people knocking on your door to tell you to stay indoors because of the Corona Virus, I didn't answer the door but my sister who lives next door did and told me on the phone what they wanted. Talk about Social Distancing. These people have lost the plot and don't realise the amount of people they are putting at risk.

Only con men do that. Take care.

What’s done my head in is reading that every household is going to get a letter from Boris this week, telling them to stay at home. Surely the cost of the reams of paper and other resources needed to do this could be put to better use? And then you have 67m letters just being shoved straight in the recycling or bin ... absolutely pointless

I was baffled about this, then I realised that they are just helping the print and postal industry keep afloat, bless.

Was anybody else thinking, jehovah’s witnesses?

It does sound a bit dodgy. Either aforementioned Scrotes, or misguided neighbourhood watch types

There's not 67 million housholds, that would be one house per person given UK population is around 67 million

If they did not mention God or quote scripture, then it is unlikely.
They would not be advising us who are all under the influence of satan to stay safe.
The only way to save ourselves is to join them.

Whichever way you look at it that's dodgy as fuck.

If they return. Explain you're not interested. I find a baseball bat does that quite well.

The letter thing has vanished off the BBC News website - fake news?

Looking on the bright side, random offers from strangers to fix my recently broken ridge tile have dried up.
