Worked at home last week due to being ill/ have/ still have symptoms.

my boss is saying I have to come into the office this week. So that means getting on a train and going into a small office with lots of other people

I feel incredibly uncomfortable going in, but don’t feel like I have a choice.

Tell him the first thing you are going to do is cough on him and give him a big hug, see what he thinks of that, the twat.

Tell your boss you will be happy to come into work as long as they are happy to share the work space with you and everyone else in the team. Remind them that chances are the whole work force will be ill within 14 days, and that if anyone should fall seriously ill, or worse die, it will be their fault.

Oh, and tell them to stop being a f*cking bellend.
 
Italy's figures today (another 601 dead) continues the "positive" trend of things looking marginally less terrible. It's the lowest percentage daily rise in deaths since the first death was recorded 4 weeks ago. (And there is a salutary reminder if ever there was one: 31 days ago, no-one had died in Italy!)

Anyway, here's the chart again:

I’d be surprised if he did it today, maybe tomorrow will be the day.

A really good watch and the paper the info is referenced from is the New England Medical Journal so a very well respected source.

I thought I'd posted the link yesterday but maybe not.

There are all sorts of implications. You walk where someone has coughed and it may be on soles of shoes when you get home or in the car.

Take shoes off at the door.

Or biosecurity like at farms with disinfectant trays (or don't leave the house).

It may not have survived on the ground or easily transfer to other surfaces but how would you know?

When the doubling of the death rate hits 3 days, ie 33% increase per day, the pandemic is deemed out of control.

I've got bad news for you mate. +26% = doubling every 3 days. Not +33%

1
1.26 after 1 day
1.58 after 2 days
2.00 after 3 days

The world (excluding China) is running at +18% at the moment and has been for a couple of weeks or so.
