In the Age of Coronavirus – the Global Response

March 20, 2020 By Dick and Debbie Young

I’m unsure of the original source, but a kind relative thought we might be in need of a little levity as Dick and I enter day #3 of lockdown in the Keys. All of which is making at least me “a bit cross.”

Britain

The English are feeling the pinch in relation to the recent virus threat and have therefore raised their threat level from “Miffed” to “Peeved.” Soon, though, the level may be raised yet again to “Irritated” or even “A Bit Cross.”

The English have not been “A Bit Cross” since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies nearly ran out.

The virus has been re-categorized from “Tiresome” to “A Bloody Nuisance.” The last time the British issued a “Bloody Nuisance” warning level was in 1588, when threatened by the Spanish Armada.

Scotland

The Scots have raised their threat level from “Pissed Off” to “Let’s Get the Bastard.”

They don’t have any other levels. This is the reason they have been used on the front line of the British army for the last 300 years.

France

The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its alert level from “Run” to “Hide.” The only two higher levels in France are “Collaborate” and “Surrender.”

The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France’s white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country’s military capability.

Italy

Italy has increased the alert level from “Shout Loudly and Excitedly” to “Elaborate Military Posturing.”

Two more levels remain: “Ineffective Combat Operations” and “Change Sides.”

Germany

The Germans have increased their alert state from “Disdainful Arrogance” to “Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs.”

They also have two higher levels: “Invade a Neighbour” and “Lose.”

Belgium

Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual; the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels.

Spain

The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy.

Australia

Australians, meanwhile, have raised their alert level from “No worries” to “She’ll be alright, Mate.” Two more escalation levels remain: “Crikey! Think we’ll need to cancel the barbie this weekend!” and “The barbie is cancelled.”

So far, no situation has ever warranted use of the final escalation level.

Good luck to all.
