COVID-19 — Coronavirus

Yes, both of us are. It's a private nursery and they shut saying it was financially unviable to remain open. It's happening up and down the country.

I’d still contact the LEA to find out what’s going on.

Anyone else fed up with pointless posts in the thread about pubs rather than about what Taiwan said?

Thanks for the input, Sheriff.

Thanks for the input, Sheriff.

Just wait until his Deputy arrives.

If they’ve gone bust, that’s a different issue.
But it seems ridiculous that the government had decreed key workers are supported by having their children looked after, and then the nursery doesn’t.

There’s a key difference though. Schools are funded by the state whereas most nurseries are small businesses, run by ordinary people with little liquidity.

For the government to honour its stated commitment, I’d argue (as above) that some nursery workers be transferred temporarily into the schools that remain open.

Oh my sides

Oh my sides

Brilliant.

Shut down and then try and force you to keep paying by threatening your place unless you do.

Not sure you can blame a nursery for shutting down if money has run out.

However to force anyone to keep paying is really shabby. I would report that if I were you.

Morning you blue bastards - one day closer to being back to normal. Might take a few weeks, a few months, maybe even longer but one day this will all pass and we will be in a pub on the way to watch City. It will come.

Keep positive!

When this crisis is over, if you had to choose between going on a bender with the lads or taking your partner out for a romantic dinner....




Which pub would you meet your mates in?

But for some reason the media heard that normal masks weren't 100% effective and started screaming about them not protecting people.

Because it's what the media thrive on.

Oh my sides

Those few square feet of balconies are precious in current circumstances. They must be keeping some people from going doodle alley.

Cock Inn.

Then pub later.

Irans deaths always around the same amount, who are they kidding.

Was really hoping Spain toll would start to dwell soon

Can't believe what I just read, an army colonel comparing the building of the nightingale hospital to the battle of the somme FFS

Looking forwards to a nice relaxing drink from The Cock after this blows over.

I said exactly the same to the misses the other day.
It doesn’t seem to be affecting the world’s population though which is still growing by around 200k a day.

Its main affect seems to be to condense the normal deaths of the elderly (like myself) with underlying conditions into a shorter timescale.

They were massaging numbers at the beginning but I genuinely believe that they have now in the last two weeks just lost total control of the situation

The whole thing about the masks not protecting us is bullshit anyway.

They aren't 100% effective. That's not the same as not protecting us. Harvard did a study on how many droplets different things stopped and even a shitty scarf was about 50%, with surgical masks up near 80%.

But for some reason the media heard that normal masks weren't 100% effective and started screaming about them not protecting people.

Imagine if everyone on public transport was protected 80%. If nothing else the initial viral load would be tiny compared to no mask and they've think that's the biggest determinate factor in getting it mildly or severely.

Just as CV has a synergistic effect on the death of elderly people with underlying conditions so does wearing a mask to mainly protect others help to stop infections.
Until a vaccine is developed nothing will be 100 percent effective so totally agree with your post Dom.

An MP from down south has just said on Sky News all care homes have been told anybody over the age of 75 with COVID19 will not be admitted to hospital. This is basically signing their death warrant. Awful just awful
