COVID-19 — Coronavirus

Sainsbury’s are dedicating the first hour of business to the old folk and front line NHS staff. I’m not sure mixing the two is a great idea....

Hospitals don't have the power in terms of electricity to run unlimited ventilators. It's all well and good saying let's give them more but they won't be able to turn them all on!

Supposed to be going for a quick round of golf this morning. Altho the government has advised going out into open spaces is ok, it somehow feels wrong to be going out ‘having fun’.

Bizarre situation right now. I guess people just have to be sensible at the moment with social interactions. Like Mothers Day, pretty sure I shouldn’t be going round to see the old dear.

I tried that on Thursday. I even took proof of age because I don't look as old as I am...

Needn't have bothered. Lots of younger customers.

Gutted that Wetherspoons are all closing, where else can i drink in a place with the atmosphere of a warehouse, alongside all the alkies & local nutters ?

G-Tech have developed ones that don't require electricity. They're hopeful to go into production in a week or two and they can produce 100 per day. They also seem willing to let other companies manufacture using their design.

Hydroxychloroquine

There are a few different drugs that seem to have some effect against the virus. Let's hope the trials continue to be positive. A treatment is our best hope of ending this more quickly.
