COVID-19 — Coronavirus

Trump currently saying that the US will be lifting social distancing restrictions "fairly soon", despite the fact that the US will lead the world in cases by the weekend. Pouring petrol on an electrical fire.

That’s a bit over the top




Don’t tell anyone but I agree completely.

I don’t, they’re the kind of selfish fuckers that infect many others.

Amazon

We believe our role serving customers and the community during this time is a critical one, and we want to make sure our customers can get the items they need, when they need them. As COVID-19 has spread, we've recently seen an increase in people shopping online which has had an impact on how we serve our customers, but we are working around the clock with our selling partners to ensure availability of essential products, and to continue to bring on additional capacity to deliver customer orders.

5. Is it possible to reduce contact with the driver when they deliver my order?
Yes. Drivers have been advised to reduce contact with customers by placing packages at the customer’s doorstep and stepping back. If an ID check is required, these are now performed at a distance

4. Is it safe to receive orders?
The likelihood of an infected person contaminating commercial goods is low and the risk of catching the virus that causes COVID-19 from a package that has been moved, travelled, and exposed to different conditions and temperature is also low

As an e-bay buyer I`ve had a couple of e-mails through over the past 7 days and even asking me where the safest place to leave any items that would not fit through the letterbox.Also any items that require a signature should be done by the driver,but only once he has knocked on your door and stood well away from you but only sign on your behalf after his request.
Makes perfect sense to me and one that I`m more than happy to conform with.Well done those carriers.

The problem with this, Karen is it's been proven over and over again that many are incapable of taking responsibility.

Everyone is going to have to learn,i don't think it is sinking in for some people,it will take this hitting them or a family member to get it and that will be a shame

He’s another **** that deserves to catch it.

Ah well at least your missus can put your bonus to good use ... the undertakers bill.

You know the difference between a bonus and a penis?
You can rely on your wife to blow your bonus.


Thank you and goodnight.

He looks more like a Ripper.

I`d say he looks more like a Gripper ... a dirty looking pervert.

I reckon Churchill’s situation was quicker and graver but generally you’re right about wars.

When he took over in 1940, within days our entire army was being pushed into the sea and surrounded, seemingly about to be lost, Europe had been totally taken over and some of his Cabinet were pushing him to surrender and make peace with Hitler.

All this whilst Churchill not appreciating how warfare had changed from WW1.

Somehow he came out smelling of roses and I just hope Johnson can do the same.

Fair point but "government" saw it coming for years, this virus has only been coming for weeks, and the measures are already drastic, will we have rationing soon, due to the idiots buying everything possible, most of which (fresh produce) will be thrown out before even being used, and you can't eat soap and toilet rolls.
