COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[Summerbuzz]

Nothing to do with race, anyone who think eating a rhinos dick or elephants balls to cure a fucking cold needs a serious word.

Sauteed rhino dick in a hydroxychloroquine jús is the new chicken soup.

Devil’s advocate, but how the fuck will HMRC know if anyone like yourself furloughs the PAYE element of their income and carries on working anyway?

If he goes back to posting nonsensical Youtube videos then we'll know he's stopped working.

68 here.
Not had it, just the TB jab

Compulsory smallpox vaccination in the UK ended in 1948, but wasn't phased out entirely until 1971 so some under 70s will have had it but not all.

Sensible allocation of resources. Although two leadership for 6 kids doesn’t seem so, maybe they’re there to keep one another company?
Had to laugh at my daughter who, after several months, was Head for the day yesterday. Asked her had she either sacked someone or excluded any of the nine kids?

Their acting Head did a great job on the first day. He worked out all the chancers, telephoned their parents and gave them a bollocking, not bad for only his third day on the job.
Daughter has sorted out the distance learning for her departments, just some of her dickhead teachers fucking it up by not reading their instructions. One of the kids even contacted her at 1.30am on Sunday having had an automated message saying he hadn’t logged on. Probably got it whilst on Call of Duty.

I'm "it" today, head's working from home. My day's spent mainly ensuring no kids have been put inside a suitcase and launched into the Irwell. Couple of home visits, but stay well at end of the drive and once I've seen the thumbs-up from the kids I'm away.
We've got a fantastic staff who've all risen brilliantly to the challenge - everyone on the rota; all have offered to cover the Easter hols if need be, nobody flinching from doing their bit and all the kids in school know routines/systems inside out. Temperature checks, hand washing, all got individual pens, trays etc. If any parent with their child is late, I won't open the school for them. Once 9am arrives, we're in for the day. Military operation from start to finish. I've been brutal in checking all and any applications for a school place; unexpected knocks on doors; if parents are in, child collected, no more place. Child arrives in same clothes as previous day - back you go. No exceptions. Not sure if we'll be in next week, hoping to have a break, but knowing we have to do our bit to get this thing going downwards so may be in.

France just announced that people cannot do any outside exercise between the hours of 10am to 7pm, not a bad policy which we should be considering.

I don't mate. Never underestimate them.

Because it has NOT been safety tested for covid patient,you have to study how covid patients react to it before you licence it,take it and you are putting yourself in danger

My missus would gladly take rat poison if she thought it would help her condition and would try any drug offered, willingly signing a disclaimer that she does it at her own risk

Sky News has learnt that care homes are being asked to take in hospital patients who have tested positive for coronavirus.

A care home owner in Devon has described the policy as "importing death into care homes" and has accused the government of sacrificing the elderly

so everyone bumps into each other in the dark then.

Yes mate. she is currently doing Monday and Thursdays - don't know the staff ratio but it is small - 18 kids in total - some from another local school.

I will tell the wife about the communique, as she is in this week during the 'holidays'.

Thanks mate.

Latest advice from DfE today:

Every child who can be safely cared for at home should be, to limit the chance of the virus spreading.

You should look into clinical trials,she might be able to get on one but there is a srrict criteria so it is not a given

No, it will keep the idiots who are just flaunting the rules under the guise they are exercising off our streets in order to help the NHS and save lives.

Telegraph is saying Sweden are beginning to budge on their policy now.

Don't worry Kaz, I'm all over it. Everytime a new ms drug is mentioned I'm onto her neurologist. He put her on simvastatin 2 years ago and it still isn't approved by NICE although it's in common use for high cholesterol. We are in the process of getting medical cannabis on prescription if he can swing it as it is the only thing to stop her spasms

My brother has late stage MS,he swears by cannabis,it is good you are proactive when it comes to new treatments,that is the way you have to be,good luck

My missus swears by it too. I grow medicinal strains in the spare room and we are self sufficient. It is the least I can do for her to help her pain. I tell her I would gladly take it off her if I could as I have had a healthy life for nearly 60 years and she has had Ms since a year of us getting married, 30 years ago

I hope we don’t need to follow suit.

I think we’ve got the balance right at the moment and not allowing people out during the day will crush people’s mental health and be another step to totalitarianism.

I’m in favour of the current measures, it seems to be working and it’ll ensure that the public don’t totally rebel. My fear is a stricter lockdown will result in patches of anarchy here and there.

Theres a reason no one else is using it widely, if the manufacturers didnt bribe your president, theres no need to.

I seen summat earlier that said Trump has a stake in Sanofi,the company that produces Plaquenil.

If it is used widely for other things there shouldn't be a problem using it for this virus, but I'm sure other countries would be all over it if there was a chance it was effective. Trump profiteering seems more likely than not
