That's elevenses
SARS CoV-2 coronavirus / Covid-19 (No tin foil hat silliness please)
- Thread starter Don't Kill Bill
- Start date
That's a good shout.
NI Civil servant here and we are the same, would probably get 5 days paid special leave but that would be maximum at a push.
Morrisons seem to be setting up some standard packs for home delivery. They say it'll make it easier for people to order by phone. It'll also mean they can put the packs together in their warehouse quickly rather than having single orders picked.
I wouldn't be surprised if others, maybe even at government request, do something similar. Particularly for the "special precautions" group who are getting messages from the NHS this week.
Right so let's get this sorted

Did I forget any?
I advise everyone to avoid this thread
Would this be a good moment to talk about Scottish country dancing?
That’s far too logical.
Too many idiots this morning bulk buying meat. Chillers are probably empty now
I just did Asda. Saw a little old lady with 6 bottles of bacardi. No idea if anyone dared try and tell her to put some back.
Just published, an analysis of Covid in children based on data from Wuhan

It's never a good moment to talk about Scottish country dancing
Is there any food items that are fair game to stock pile? Couldn’t help but notice the ‘burgers in a tin’ were basically untouched in Farmfoods... not sure why, they seem suitable as they’ll last a while.
Grinner can you stop spamming this thread with the pasta discussion, you are very strict about spam in your thread, and gave me 3 points for nothing in this thread, that's not how staff member should operate here. If you want to spam you have your stickied thread.

Unfortunately the father of a friend of my wife died yesterday.
Had likely symptoms but also had underlying health issues. Friend been told they'll record death under that generic phrase they use for breathing (or lack of).
To be honest, if it was me/my parents, I probably wouldn't be arsed about a load of tests to give me a definitive reason. Wouldn't change anything?
Chunks of steak in a tin can be used for stews and casseroles, mince in a tin can be used for cottage pies, corned beef can be used for all sorts. Tinned veg obviously, but frozen is better.
Tea is a drink, not a food.
Stupid Brits!
Stupid Brits!
Mmmmm, sound yummy.
im guessing people haven't exhausted other avenues and got down to burgers in a tin... yet.
There's no reason to stockpile. Just buy what you need as usual.
Yeah Threesies, unless that’s when Linner is.
You shut your face.
funny that
What an absolutely ridiculous word
Pretty much what the general thought process was, question still is does milder/no symptoms make you less contagious or indeed not contagious at all?
i'm sorry but I have no suggestions for this. Why would you ask me that?
Was only joking, I’d never do that. I wouldn’t even make it past the queue to get in. I hate queue politics. I’d somehow get there first but literally let everyone go before me in fear of feeling like I’ve cut someone up.
You never been on a building site? We’ll look for any excuse for a break!Because you travel all around the Europe a lot all the time, you should know a guy or two!
I'm not sure where the confusion is coming in here.
Isn't it fairly well accepted that the asymptomatic are infectious and that those who've been infected can infect others before their symptoms show?
I know you've got this idea that it 'dies' in kids and they don't transmit it but I've not seen this anywhere else apart from your posts (granted I could be missing something)
I've only had success with your mum. But the queuing became a real drag.
The problem is mate that in the UK at the moment you can’t buy what you need because inconsiderate cnuts are emptying all of the shelves.
The last paragraph, they are clearly asking that very question.
Asymptomatic infections were not uncommon. Determination of the transmission potential of these asymptomatic patients is important for guiding the development of measures to control the ongoing pandemic.
I have no idea but plenty of other people have asked the question, if you have kids you know how easily they catch and spread every infection under the sun, clearly they is something going on with COVID 19 and children.
As for the dying thing there have been children born with Covid 19 only to be clear of it hours later.

They did the same in Ireland last week, when school closures were announced. Turns out there’s only so much people can panic buy and the supplies keep on coming. You can expect shelves to look less and less bare as the days go by.
So mature, well done. Thought you were well over 40, and not 16 years old.
I was just almost sick in my own mouth remembering the one time I tried burger in a can. Thanks for that..
Second breakfast
Is anyone else still going in the office like I am? They have split us all up and allowed half to work from home but as I'm relatively newer member of the team where I work....I'm still coming in. I don't really mind either. I'd hate to be stuck inside at home.
They've acted really quickly, sending an announcement round to everyone and going straight into lockdown with police on the street. My mother-in-law has more food in the house than anyone I know, so they could last years on those supplies.
