My girl is right there now organizing this, or to be honest parts of this, has,nt got a clue how or when she will get home, dedication x
A small token I know but please pass on our thanks and utmost regards to your daughter and her colleagues for their efforts. It really is appreciated.
 
We’ll have forgotten about it come May...

That’s incredible and frightening in equal measure.
It really hit home to me when the Valencia government announced they were building 3 pop up hospitals with 1100 beds each. That was after nationalizing private hospitals and turning gp’s into emergency rooms. My first thought was wow three pop up hospitals is amazing. Immediate second thought was ‘oh fuck’. It’s the same with this.
 
It's been unleashed, things like this don't just happen.
They happen all the time.

Sometimes they’re not too transmissible, sometimes they’re not too deadly, but every now and again they are.

The same viruses, bacteria and fungi that have always been around won’t always be the only ones always around with the way they mutate and the way the human population is rocketing (10bn by 2050!)

At the same time as this, African Swine Fever is rampant amongst the SE Asian pig populations (¼ of the world’s pigs have had to be culled because of it) and guess what?.. they’re thinking this could jump to humans!

Ha! Probably the only thing you’ve said that wasn’t a moan at the government. There’s another thread for you to bore people to death on how things should be posted by those in power.
Are u on the ale, I’m mega pro government, ur mistaking me with someone else. You are one strange human.
 
I am in a fucking foul mood today, i'm not the jolliest of people at the best of times but i'm well and truely pissed off.

I think the stress of all of this is beginning to get to everyone as the realisation dawns of what is to come.

Can't imagine the stress our hero's in the NHS must be feeling.

Of course they do, just not in our lifetime to this scale that's all. It is a normal human reaction especially in enlightened educated times to seek to attach blame to something or someone tangible, but the conspiracy bullshit is fuelled more than ever by websites. Its a virus that has spread because modern life has allowed it to globally
 
Was told by my bosses that you don't get 80% unless you are laid off permanently. It's a real grey area and sure it will be abused by companies. I've had to stop work but some of our guys are still working. I said I deserve a bit of loyalty after 26 years and it fell on deaf ears
That’s bollox, mate. If you’re employed (not self-employed), ”laid off permanently” = redundancy. The 80% scheme’s objective is to avoid redundancies.
