Off Topic Coronavirus

Not often I agree with Hitchens P.

 

I saw them in Newcastle O2 Academy last year. There were more of them on stage than there were in the audience.

 

You might be surprised.

 

Agreed. I have spent most of the last 3 weeks advising employers what to do and have been heartened by the efforts they have made to ensure that their employees have a job to return to and try to top up their pay wherever possible. Even those that were contemplating redundancies or had already made them took no persuasion at all to take them back on and furlough them instead. I have heard of some abuse by other employers (my firm company does not represent) where they have taken advantage of the fact that furlough can not be imposed unilaterally and have sought to bulldoze permanent changes to terms and conditions of employment.

 

All part of the emergency legislation.

 

Crazy

 

Some are more equal than others

 

We are all in this together, we are all in this together, but time after time we discover, some are more in this than others

Uber, she said sorry, so that's OK.

Phew! That's all ended happily then.

 

I think Handjob’s latest unenforceable threat to remove our allotted exercise periods (must be against the Geneva Convention, what, Group Captain Uber?) is more to get exercised about than what nonentities write on social media.

Apparently his grandstanding is pissing off a lot of people in government, including poor wheezing Johnson. Various bits of the system - DoH, Public Health England and NHS England at each other’s throats over who is responsible for continued failure to meet targets. It has become apparent that this country has very little capability in modelling epidemics, largely because all of the academics involved hate each other and try to undermine their enemies. Priti Patel offering to arm community police officers and establish martial law (probably). Alok Sharma (‘a batsman with zero shots’ according to one colleague), Robert Generic and Dominic Raab (“Britain’s very own Dan Quayle”)* wheeled out when there is nothing to say.

Lots of people out and about today, most doing their best to distance. Quite amusing seeing some families who pretty obviously never normally take exercise beyond leaving their car to buy a hundred weight of cheese, bacon, lard and beans flavoured sugar frosted crisps, getting out and about. People who have their own gravitational fields. Some of them have a vitamin d deficiency so rarely do they see sunlight. Good news that we are getting healthier as a nation, our virile precious bodily fluids will help us triumph over all!

Quiet on here today. Everyone must be at the beach or in a National Park, rubbing up against each other.

I'm clearly more pissed than I realised.
I honestly didn't understand half of that post.
