Yes, steam will kill it. It cannot survive high temperatures, and the higher the temp the shorter the life span. 30 mins at 75C will do the trick as well.

Haven't you heard? - some pricks on Sunday were saying that fraud in the sky will save us.

And I don't mean Richard fucking Branson or Stelios.

He is risen. What a fucking insult to anyone of sane mind.

I'm working around the clock so don't bother with the news much. Is this slowing down yet? I got some Facefuck messages that say steam kills the virus. Seems like a load of crap. Is this just random shite going around or any truth to it!?

“Teaching boys to bake cup cakes? That's no way to maintain an industrial empire.” Or to save the world. In Fred we trust:

Well said, it seems to me 100% of our focus is saving people who have mainly lived their lives whilst causing great long term harm and damage to those who have yet to live it.

the balance needs to be a lot better.

The focus on shielding the elderly is not about saving their lives. It is to protect the NHS from being overwhelmed by older people needing heavy interventionist treatment, as they are much more susceptible to serious condition from the virus.
The NHS now have a scoring system for deciding whether to treat ppl for this virus when resources are thin. If you are over 70, have underlying conditions, take immuno suppressant drugs, or have a compromised immune system, you will get palliative care only and be treated as NTBR, which means you will be let go, no attempt made to keep you alive.
As someone who falls into this category, that is a bit scary.

It wasn't that long a go Cheltenham went ahead.

It wasn't that long a go pubs were open. Mental to think that for a week instructions weren't clear, people were still heading to the pubs and then they allowed for that last Friday night of drinking.

I never even dared Wembley - it broke my heart not to take the lad again but I was already seeing data which looked scary as shit.

You are absolutely bang on. If we now act in haste we certainly will repent at leisure.

This discussion reminds of the speech made by the German priest. 'first they came for the socialists but I didn't speak up because I wasn't a socialist then....'

Everybody should be protected during this time. If we say they are old, they've had their lives, who next? The poor? The immigrant?

Meanwhile, I watched, mouth agape, as our binmen strolled down our street yesterday, no gloves, no PPE and then sat back in the cab, 3 abreast. Not their fault, and I left a few quid for them (washed and placed in a plastic bag), but how the fuck is this allowed? We're sending people to work - and we know that a simple thing like gloves could and would reduce significantly, the chance of transmission (especially in jobs that require lots of goods handling) - yet we treat them like fucking cannon fodder. How fucking hard would it be for the government to decree that every shop worker, every binman etc has at least three pairs of disposable gloves to wear each day? It shouldn't be like this; it really shouldn't.

And how can it be that I have to rely on people like you, 'johnny', someone who doesn't know me from Adam, to sort me out with some masks for my teacher wife, just so I'm not lying in bed awake all night worrying about her going into teach still each week?

The fact you drove out of your way to drop them on my driveway at my house, stuff like this you don't ever forget.

There are so many people who are being put in harms way, yet without the kindness of others, like on Blue Moon, they are shit outta luck.

Thanks again, bud.
