COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[Scottyboi]

65,000 retired nhs staff asked to come back,erm most will be in the at risk group

They have worked hard all their lives, they don't deserve to be put on the frontline to die or get seriously sick. Unless they plan to use them for other illnesses and injuries to free up the normal staff?

This Morning with a segment right now called “Escape self-isolation with David Domoney” with him encouraging people to get out and enjoy the arrival of spring.

Is this for real?? Self isolation is not meant for being escaped from. It’s isolation.

“if you’re looking for things to do out and about so you’re not just inside...”

With Eamon and Ruth endorsing it.

Fucking hell.

People are encouraged to take excercise like walking the dog,just stay away from people,fresh air is good

same. Been telling my watsapp group they’re being idiots.

and no doubt being accused of being a snowflake....

I'm not sure many do really. Bits need improving, but I don't think there's anything significant as clear improvements have happened.

The tweeted picture was because services have been cut down, making the trains fuller at a time when people are meant to be trying to keep a distance.

London is heaving bud, the only way you can make space between passengers if for them not to be on the train. Living in London you'll never be alone that's for certain. My point was that there wasn't anything anyone could have done the trains would have been full anyway, showing a train full of commuters isn't shocking it's normal.

My dads most likely going on indefinite unpaid leave on Tueday from the airport, says Easyjet and Ryanair will be grounding all flights from Tuesday.

Bloody hell, this is my first shift working from home and compared to working in a full suite I feel like Tom Hanks on his island.

Get rid of anything with the name 'Wilson' on it!

What is the cause of this 'Wokeness?'

Greed, Selfishness, intolerance, an "I'm alright Jack" attitude.Take your pick.
They are all total twats.

Have we had any updates on latest death numbers today or are we holding steady

Well that's what i thought too and then I saw this.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/20/when-will-a-coronavirus-vaccine-be-ready

It has to pass trials but they say 1,000s of doses will be available around May if preliminary trials are successful. That's not a full roll-out but it's significantly more positive than anything we've heard to date.

Marvin,there will not be a vaccine for about a year,it has to have full safety trials,listen to our chief medical officer and i thought you had been preaching to everyone to stop reading the guardian?

That’s shit mate.

Morrisons are hiring at the moment if he gets into a position where he needs other work.

My girlfriends nephew is applying there as just laid off.

Supermarkets will need people.

Not from France, Italy or the UK yet.

One thing for certain is we are now way over 1000 deaths per day and it’s increasing rapidly.

I'd rather help him out then have him mixing with all them people at supermarkets if I'm honest!

I agree. I cannot imagine we'd contemplate vaccinating tens of millions of people with anything other than something which had been rigorously proven to be safe. Can you imagine if we had another thalidomide type catastrophe on our hands, or should the vaccine caused some other horrible complications?

There will be all sorts of delivery jobs and warehouse stuff, where you can take extra precautions ie leaving stuff on doorsteps and working away from others in the warehouse etc.

Up to you bud but it’s worth considering if he needs it.

I always worked from home 2 days a week anyway, but as an introvert I must say I’m not finding it difficult so far. A relative lie-in, no commute (costs me £2k per year just to get to and from work) and no annoying people in the office to listen to all day. I hope post-vaccine, we are still allowed to work from home all the time if possible. It’s saves both the commuters and the employers shit loads once they realise how much office space they no longer need. Please, let’s keep it!

I told her similar the other week.

She’s very excited that Jet2 are taking money for flights in May. She’s confident that they will fly, she didn’t take kindly to me suggesting it’s merely a cash-collection exercise.

Real head in the sand stuff

But still the PL think we will play football...

I had to brave the supermarket today, iceland. It was like sardines in a can. I’m never going out again
