COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[Mayor West]

My 2nd biggest client.

I knew this yday.

It’s fucked me right up the arse.

I just got a call from my manager, at least we are still getting paid

FFS, I leave the forum for a few hours and it immediately goes back to talk of eldercide.

It’s like the lord of the flies in here...

STFU and zip it.

Thanks for clarifying mate, that’s perfectly understandable.

I wasn’t suggesting they were hiding anything on purpose, it might just be a different way of giving a reason for the death.

I agree about the league table point, I think people are just looking to elsewhere to see what we can do better.

That's a key point.
We cannot do much better right now as we have what we have.

BUT, we are learning rapidly now on many levels, and I expect that we will be prepared much much better when the 2nd pandemic wave could arrive come winter.
Industries get reorganized to produce most needed things.
Our new personal behaviour will become natural in daily life.

A 2nd lockdown EDIT wouldn't shock us so much as we have learnt we did survive the 1st one.
And so on.

Maybe we even change our overall strategy and find a way to protect the vulnerable while keeping public life running and economy going, on a certain and "safe" level.

Cures will be at hand and vaccines will reach higher clinical study levels. There's hope.

Saw 2 druggies on Rochdale road harpurhey yesterday they were smacked out of their heads and had a operating mask on each. Had to laugh probably share needles have taken every drug known to mankind but didn’t want to catch the virus, one had his mask lobsided the other had made a hole in it so he could smoke haha

The irony being that these two fuckers will survive what ever is thrown at `em.

Tell her to **** off and come back with a real board game.

I mean, at least Carcassonne or Settlers, FFS.

Pandemic would be the most useful, though. ;-)

Or strip poker.

What puzzles me is that the powers that be must run simulations all the time because it's their job but nobody saw the possibility that panic buying bog rolls and pasta would be a thing, I mean what is the point of simulating epidemics if they can't even see that the basic structures are going to fail even before the epidemics take hold.

Good news mate.

Glad to hear it.

They’re a good company to work for it seems.

I can vouch for Carcassonne, but Pandemic hasn't come out of the box yet - recommend it would you? I've got a 10 & 14yr old wanting to play it

This will be a part of life throughout 2020 I reckon.

Oh they are, can't fault them
