COVID-19 — Coronavirus

Someone woke up on the grumpy **** side of bed.

I think testing on dogs would get the green light by the sound of it.

Dog walkers are the most selfish of the bunch though, they really do take up the whole pavement and expect YOU to move out of the way for their fucking dog.

As someone with a bike and a dog I can safely say my week has been ruined catching up on this thread! My dog is too old to walk though so hopefully I qualify for an exemption on that one. Have to admit I went round the Edge yesterday and the amount of shit and also shit in bags left lying around was disgusting.

dog, cyclist, jogger, diesel car, also think it would be good to try and get kids back to school safely = ****.

however I do agree with you. Around where I live lockdown seems to have resulted in an amnesty on picking up your dogs shit. I nearly stood in one yesterday and it looked like Digby had done it (one for children of the 70s)

They’re up there, especially those who walk small dogs on long retractable leashes; dog acts like a minesweeper and forces you off the pavement. There’s also girls walking in the middle of the pavement glued to their telephones, and couples walking hand-in-hand who refuse to let go and force everyone on to the road.

Roads are psychologically safer than pavements. :-(

Glad to see that the art of the ol' internet-offer-out-a-roo lives on.

Anyone know where we're up to with quarantine on flights? Michael O'Leary was on the radio and seemed to think that lorry drivers and key workers were exempt, and travellers from France. That exemption was after a private conversation (in French) between Johnson and Macron but I thought they'd backtracked (business travellers would fly to Paris then come to London on Eurostar - nearly as quick as getting through Heathrow into London).

14 day quarantine is "Unimplementable, unenforceable, unpoliceable" says O'Leary and reckons wearing a mask would stop 98% of transmission. That's a separate issue but what exactly is the latest on the quarantine proposal for flights?

Just heard on local Spanish Radio that about 5 percent of its population had antibodies against CV.
El Pais has the full story here:

Some interesting statistics regarding age, geographical and Province differences.

Article has an interesting comment as follows:

"If the percentage of infected people who eventually die is around 1.1%, as the study suggests, the cost in human lives of herd immunity would be between 200,000 and 300,000, making the method unacceptable. Epidemiologists consulted by this newspaper said that social distancing measures must remain in place until a vaccine becomes available."

I will be avoiding Prestwich with those 80 year old weavers causing a busing on the pavements / roads! @Indaparkside

You’d not say that to my face.

I'd say it over PM though.
