One hundred and thirty-seven passengers came in on the 07:33 arrival this morning. This goes along with my company's claim that we are carrying 13/15 % of normal passenger numbers. Most people are wearing face-coverings.

I'm still at work so can't update my snazzy graph.

Stay safe.
 
the pubs are definitely emptier than they were around me. Understandably much of this is reticence to return to an indoor public setting, but i wonder how much is people re-evaluating their health, their finances, their choices of social activity. I dont think this is the end of the pub trade by a long shot, but it could be yet another blow.

I just think it's the ball ache of going and having to stay in groups of less than 6 etc that's putting people off. I went last week for the first time wasn't any different other than you could do table service and had to put empties at the end of the table to be collected. Have to admit I didn't expect it to be like that though so wasn't particularly bothered about going.

i've been twice and had one sit in meal with the wife at a pub and one visit to a brewery for a couple and sat in the beer garden - was fine both times. The meal one especially wasn't really effected (apart from the nuclear waste like levels of PPE in the pub) but the trip for a couple outdoor pints felt a bit controlled, couldnt really wander about, slow table service, toilets one in one out etc. Was ok but i'm hardly rushing back to that pub experience if im honest.

As someone who was recently diagnosed with cancer, had major surgery, is now going through chemo and the outlook for me is promising. Solely because of good science and early intervention. The bit I've underlined completely boils my piss, if you want to be a conspiracy nutjob, go ahead and knock yourself out. But understand this utter bullshit is very dangerous indeed and there should actually be some form of law(if there isn't already) against the dangerous promotion of this utter fucking tosh.

I'm fortunate i have couple of brain cells to rub together, but plenty of people believe this shit to the detriment of their long term health. You should be fucking ashamed of yourself repeating it on a public forum without any shred of evidence to back it up(other than possibly some utter fuckwit youtube vlogger)

For the record cancer research has a decent myth busting page, and I and plenty of others I know, who've been through and going through the system will testify that a lot of progress is being made. /rant

With reference to your pitiful statement, I'll give you this quote from cancer research

"Some myths about cancer are surprisingly persistent, despite flying in the face of basic biology. One such idea is that overly ‘acidic’ diets cause your blood to become ‘too acidic’, which can increase your risk of cancer. Their proposed answer: increase your intake of healthier ‘alkaline’ foods like green vegetables and fruits (including, paradoxically, lemons).

This is biological nonsense. True, cancer cells can’t live in an overly alkaline environment, but neither can any of the other cells in your body.

Blood is usually slightly alkaline. This is tightly regulated by the kidneys within a very narrow and perfectly healthy range. It can’t be changed for any meaningful amount of time by what you eat, and any extra acid or alkali is simply peed out in urine.

To maintain the correct balance within the body, your urine can and does change pH, depending on what you’ve eaten (explained in detail in this post). This can be seen by testing urine pH (acidity) after eating different foods and is the basis of the mistaken belief that diet can “make the body alkaline”. But that’s all you’re changing, and anyone who claims otherwise simply doesn’t understand how the body works. [Edited for clarity and extra links, KA 08/08/14]
While eating lots of green veg is certainly healthy, that’s not because of any effect on how acid or alkaline your body is.

There is something called acidosis. This is a physiological condition that happens when your kidneys and lungs can’t keep your body’s pH (a measure of acidity) in balance. It is often the result of serious illness or poisoning. It can be life-threatening and needs urgent medical attention, but it’s not down to overly acidic diets.

We know that the immediate environment around cancer cells (the microenvironment) can become acidic. This is due to differences in the way that tumours create energy and use oxygen compared with healthy tissue. Researchers are working hard to understand how this happens, in order to develop more effective cancer treatments.

But there’s no good evidence to prove that diet can manipulate whole body pH, or that it has an impact on cancer."
