Please do not think you have the monopoly for overhyped news.....
You should read the Swedish newspapers, they are in fact just as bad.

Could it be that larger and larger part of the populations spend 99% of their concious time in front of a screen, and never venture outside fir more that 15 meters at a time?

Instead of giving sound advice they inky scare people.
You should see the supermarkets here before a hurticane or storm!
Guys glued to the phone, running around the aisles following advice from the wifes, what to buy...

The best one I remember was ine guy that filled his (US size) trolley with cooking oil and community sized bags of rice..
Do you get this mass hysteria in UK too these days?

Last winter we had a 3 day snow event. It was mad. We have only one store and the shelves were bare by the first evening. You couldn't buy milk bread or fresh vegetables for 4 days. I saw one woman who lives on her own comming out with 3 loaves of bread....why? If we had all shopped normally food would have lasted longer .luckily I always have a good supply of tinned and frozen veg , powdered milk and other things so it didn't bother me much. Just went and stocked up on 2 chocolate bars and a giant bag of crisps! Very nessasary for survival.

Mass media generates mass hysteria. Weather sensationalising is just part of that project.

"Theres a new moon tonight so only venture out if absolutely nessecary"

You mean the Governments are making us fokus away from something?
:)

I use pro grade Alu foil as my head cover, so
I am fine......:)

No. That would be a conspiracy theory. ;)

People fearing things they couldn’t understand or were told fearful stories about eg.weather, is what lead civilisations to develop religions..... and tinfoil ;)

I still don’t get it when I read about people stocking up on perishables like bread or milk or frozen foods. That’s the first thing to ruin when the powers goes out.

Allow me to be possibly the first to state that the end is probably no more or less nigh than it has ever been. However, following the myth that humans lose more heat through their heads than anywhere else, I suggest that the wearing of headwear fashioned from foil of tin, should be a priority on everyone’s list of precautions.

I know a bloke who can get hold of foil of tin ;)

I will start knitting my foil of tin socks tomorrow. I would love to be able to run... let alone like a gazelle. !:crutch:
Tin foil is what we brits call aluminium foil.

I know.... I always wondered why you, ancient suppliers of Tin to the civilized World, (indeed, the civilized World would not have progressed as it did without your Tin) renamed Aluminium foil to that!

Because the foil in question was originally made from expensive Sn but is now made from cheaper Al and two syllables are easier to say than six. ;)

FWIW, although it pains me as a son of St Piran, the role of Cornish tin carried by Phoenecian traders in the ancient world is rather overstated - there were plenty of sources of tin closer to the Med.

I get cold feet.. would foil of tin socks be a sensible precaution ?

No!! Under no circumstances should you fasion socks from it, as doing so seriously impacts the flow of the higher vibrational enegies generated whenever humans come into close contact with Rose Quartz. This is why natural materials have remained in constant useage for footwear, as they permit the transmission of quantum Earth frequencies through the Vata chakras and into the triple-heater points. It’s what causes them to spin and that’s what makes us go.
For cold feet, I suggest using cats.

Meridien Leclerc? I don’t think the Lidl invasion had yet happened and the Bavarian Aldi hoardes were still forming.
