Hopefully this improves peoples hygiene. Theres so many dirty bastards around that don't even bother washing their hands after taking a piss, than touch door handles :o

I kinda agree - but more with coughing / sneezing etc. I fecking hate it - with a passion.

Most serious viruses don't spread through people touching their cock though...

There's always going to be dickheads who refuse to wash their hands after taking a piss or shit in public. What annoys me more is the design of doors to the bathroom in that if the door has to be pulled to get out then this completely defeats the purpose of hand washing because the selfish prick from a minute before has left his pissy prints all over the handle. The door should swing in a way that it has to be pushed going out so you get the option of being able to use to your foot to push it open, which I normally do.

That would still be something. It's amazing how many filthy feckers cough and sneeze without putting their hands over their mouths.
I cycle to work now but in my last week on public transport some dirty bastsrd sneezed on the back of my head - you could feel the splatter.

I had a word or two to say.

Not posting it because it’s the Mail but they ran an article saying the PL might get cancelled. Based on nothing but speculation, but it has to be a possibility at this point?

Looking like this might peak in the next couple of months.

The Telegraph have reported the same:

"The rapid spread of the virus has raised the prospect of the Government ordering the cancellation of all sporting events in the UK for more than two months, something that could mean some fixtures never being played."

"Were the Premier League season not completed, it is likely crisis talks would take place to determine whether previous results would be allowed to stand or whether the entire campaign was rendered null and void."

Problem with that is people will go to the pubs for the matches instead, but then again if they are going to halt all sporting events shouldn't pubs and social gathering things be closed as well.

And schools as they are basically germ factories... But then a huge chunk of the population can't work as they have to look after their kids

Did you cause a scene? It is grim- the guy was crossing the road, coming from the other side, so felt I was getting it in the face, rather than the back of the head.

What's the point of washing the hands after taking a piss? My cock is cleaner than the faucets.

You can skip washing your hands only if all of those conditions apply:

- You didn't touch anything except for your cock in the bathroom
- You didn't pee on your hands
- You washed your cock within the last 24 hours
- You didn't have sex
- You're not planning on meeting people or shaking hands in the next 15 minutes

If one of those apply to you then you must wash your hands.

I wish there was a ”positive corona news” thread or site somewhere.
Not a site saying ”its nothing, its the flu, ect” but a place you could go if you was down or worried who gathered the ”positive” news.
I would like that.
Please feel free to post any 'good news' in here!

Goodness knows we need it.

I am currently in North Italy. Went there on Friday, the same day the news broke. All good here so far, but flying out of Venice Airport on Sunday. :nervous:

My work has already told me to work from home for two weeks.
Don’t you dare return to Denmark!

Define scene?

I turned and said "FFS mate" or something like that. He then tried to justify it on the basis that he couldn't help being sick. I may have then said that I can't help needing a pee from time to time but I generally don't do piss on the person next to me on the tram. He then failed to apologise so I guess I did make a scene for the rest of the journey.

Someone sneezing in your face is even worse. I wouldn't have been impressed.

Try that sneezing shit on a NYC subway and that guy is getting his face beat in.

Whilst most people only seem to opt for the mask to prevent themselves becoming sick, wearing one to prevent others getting sick is every bit as important, if not more so. It's standard in Japan and should be anywhere, really.

People like them should get a slap.

I’m supposed to go to California in May for what would be my first true holiday since 2018... by that time virus will probably be widespread though and it’ll be pointless to ban any travel.
