Off Topic Coronavirus

When in a hole...

 

It’s such a shame that Wetherspoons has lost 40% of its share value in the last 3 weeks and that Tim Martin is the largest shareholder.

 

No new measures announced today, not surprising really can’t have new stuff every day. Stunning 405,000 volunteers have stepped forward.

News on self employed tomorrow.

Laura Keunssberg kicks off with a hyper aggressive ‘everything’s ****ed isn’t it’ question. The media Is ****ing loving this, ****ers.

 

City Airport closing until end of April...

 

I really like Chris Whitty.......seems like a caring bloke trying to put over a sometimes difficult message.

 

Agree, their cause is beyond criticism. Their methods leave a lot to be desired at times, and alienate the people they're trying to win over

I went to work again today (yes it was absolutely necessary) and once again I was able to so without breaking any rules. The only time I was within 6 feet of anyone was when I went to Tesco.

Train to work...



Walk from the station...



Train home...

 

So 3.5 million antibody tests in by next week but you may not be able to get one?
I noticed they mentioned what I said earlier..
Johnson asks Vallance to comment on the Oxford University study publicised today saying up to half the population may have had coronavirus.
Vallace says "it is too early to evaluate it."
What was also interesting was they mentioned that up to 80% of Wuhan could have had it? Although again it is too early to confirm it changes things if true.

 

What does your company do?

 

A leading question methinks. I work for two companies, one in media and one in property - not essential services.

 

Of course it was a leading question......like everyone else you need to go to work because you need to earn a living. But the Tube and park were so empty because the vast majority of others decided that they wouldn’t go to work, even a bit later than usual. The firms you work for should be explicit and say don’t come in. Why don’t they?

 

Well let's just hope you dont pick it up on any surfaces you may come into contact with or in fact unintentionally spread it while doing your non essential work.

 

It's a bloody good job that not everyone is acting like stroller otherwise this disease could spread further and faster. A friend of mine was doing something similar until it was put to him "what's it going to take for you to stop going, seeing a loved one on a ventilator!"

 

It was necessary for me to go in today to ensure that I can continue to work from home.

I was the only person in the building, Bob. ​

 

I fail to understand that if HRH Charles had symptoms, why was Camilla tested? We are hearing of desperate health workers crying out for a test so that if they are clear can re-join the front line and not self isolate.
We are all in this together, priority for health workers please.

 

My conscience is clear on this one. I didn't endanger myself or anybody else, but it highlights the contradictory nature of the government's advice/instructions. 'If you can work from home, do so - only go to work if it's absolutely necessary'. As I said above, it was necessary for me to go in to enable me to continue to work from home. Matt Hancock said yesterday that if you can go to work safely, you should, in order to keep the economy going. That's what I did.

 

Come on mate. I know where you're coming from, but there are no goodies or baddies in this imo.
We're all just trying to do what we can for our family.
Peace.

 

Hey mate, each to their own, surely you agree that it's a good job that everyone didn't do what stroller did. Nobody can say if he didn't endanger anyone or himself and his family as we arent tested. I dont mean this out of nastiness or badness. I just wonder what it would take for someone (I'm using stroller as he has just freely told us) to stop doing these trips.
