Just been out today it’s definitely a lot quieter , may be people have finally got the message of the last two days and staying home .

although something did feel different today.....

So, presuming this second peak arrives, which seems very likely let's be honest... how many daily deaths do we think it'll take until they lockdown again? Or will they just not bother?

Introducing the new rules... Spoiler alert, they're the same as the old rules.

What a colossal waste of everyone's time.

You are correct. Having checked the wipes I’ve been using, they also sates they are effective on 99.9% of bacteria and viruses, so the term anti bacterial that I used was misleading. That said, as Covid 19 is an entirely new virus that no one has got to grips with yet, I cannot be certain the wipes do have any affect so it seems, my small degree of comfort has gone!

I'd say that if you are wiping things down with anything, its better than not doing it, and make sure you properly wash your hands at the end.

We've taken similar precautions, all shopping is wiped down in one area, then transferred to a "clean" area to be stored away, then the "dirty" area cleaned with a spray, and anything used, keys, wallet etc.

What we're doing may not be 100% effective, but its got to cut the risk from doing nothing at all.

If the weather where you are is like it is here, I'd guess that's the reason. Bit blustery, overcast. No sunshine today.

...

It wasn't a straight faced use of the term.

Please the word is suuuuuunnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnsssssssssssssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa according to a Mr Liam Gallagher.

Right.
But this pub has never done so before. And reading govt rules only allowed to do this if previously sold takeaway food.
If this is the case why are all pubs not doing it?

Why would anyone want to go to the pub and buy takeaway booze?
Beer not cheaper in supermarket?

Infection rate on the rise again in Germany.

My bad, as they say. It went straight over my head!

Stay alert.

If you see an unattended virus do not touch it but report it to station staff or ring 999. Same if you see a virus acting suspiciously.

Reminds me of he old joke:
Be alert!






Britain needs more lerts

 

[MillionMilesAway]

Yes. A contingency which was put in place for an issue at a laboratory.

Okay, I saw the headline only earlier.

Seems quite a small number to send really.

What does stay alert mean ?

if you don’t understand what that means best you just stay at home.

I wear gloves when I do the shopping and remove them once I’m in the car (taking care not to touch the outside of them!). Glad to see I’m not the only one obsessed with cleaning things down (including keys etc). I’ve even started cleaning the letterbox- inside and out!

Scary. It's been a bit up and down since they relaxed things, so let's hope the next move on the R rate is downward again. It will fluctuate and we have to be mindful of that. But rising above 1 is cause for concern if it doesn't quickly revert back below that baseline.

I'll be watching their infection figures with interest in the coming weeks.

I will be doing but I’ll bet a hell of a lot won’t

I think you're far from alone, you've just got to laugh at the irony of wiping down a cleaning spray or packet of wipes with a wipe.
