Hospitals don't have the power in terms of electricity to run unlimited ventilators. It's all well and good saying let's give them more but they won't be able to turn them all on!
 
Supposed to be going for a quick round of golf this morning. Altho the government has advised going out into open spaces is ok, it somehow feels wrong to be going out ‘having fun’.

Bizarre situation right now. I guess people just have to be sensible at the moment with social interactions. Like Mothers Day, pretty sure I shouldn’t be going round to see the old dear.

Sainsbury’s are dedicating the first hour of business to the old folk and front line NHS staff. I’m not sure mixing the two is a great idea....

I tried that on Thursday. I even took proof of age because I don't look as old as I am...

Needn't have bothered. Lots of younger customers.

G-Tech have developed ones that don't require electricity. They're hopeful to go into production in a week or two and they can produce 100 per day. They also seem willing to let other companies manufacture using their design.

Have fun mate, I am still fishing too. Whilst it does feel pretty weird, I am less at risk in the middle of a loch than I am at the local Tesco. Good for wellbeing and for the businesses that run the fisheries. they are disinfecting boats and have gone cashless so hopefully they stay open.

Doesn’t justify it though. It’s fucking idiocy, and selfish as fuck. Why the government didn’t force them to close earlier is beyond me.

What's the difference between going to the pub or going to morrisons.
Or standing in a que in the post office
 
Playing golf at Warrington this afternoon, haven't played for a month due to injury, can't wait. Hopefully the course will stay open for the duration. Stay fit and well everyone.

Unfortunately, I have since found out that this is not genuine.

This is parody written by American author Nick Farriella for the humor site McSweeney’s earlier this month. The text is clearly identified as such at the bottom of the original online publication and now at the top: “NOTE: This is a work of parody and is not an actual letter written by Fitzgerald.”

Here's a link to the original piece:

Apologies folks but all is not lost as I also found this:

I suppose an online parlour game might consist of someone guessing the original novel from the parody and I would expect that Bram Stoker, Stephenie Mayer and Charlaine Harris might then feature prominently.

fair play you went back and got verification that it wasn’t bonafide..refreshing

You’re obviously quite new here so you haven’t learned to dig your heels in yet and defend your position to the point you start believing it yourself despite the data proving otherwise. Keep posting as all sources of information will be important to someone looking for something on this thread.

Probably can’t take too much from it but doesn’t look as bad as it did a few days ago. Hopefully we can on curving round instead of up.
