I’m starting to think the 6-8 months estimations might be optimistic. This could easily last a few years. We will have to basically rebuild economy after it’s done. I can’t wrap my head around what is happening.
Only the small shops have stuff thought, it seems. Even after restocking overnight and the supposed "pensioners and vulnerable only" my local Asda had feck all at 9:10 this morning. Went in with a trolley and came out with three Mother's Day cards.I thought he said shops too? Supermarkets I imagine would be exempt
ummm yeah...ok...sure! How quick is quick for you these days!In the interest of research I had a quick look. It seems they've just opportunistically given normal porn stuff corona themed names- eg 'old guy and young lass in corona lockdown action' or the like. Disappointing, although not sure what I was expecting tbh. Also, dunno if it was my wfi or loads of people are on it, but it was running really slowly- couldn't actually watch vids.
Highest ITU beds per capita of any (I think?) EU country. Many multiples more than UK.Is there any way of explaining the death rate in Germany? How can it be so drastically lower across the country??
Yup! People will die! Wash your hands! Business as usual!!GoT-tO-tAkE-iT-oN-tHe-ChIn,MaTe
Live my life. It's only the flu. Not having some suit telling me what to do. I drink bleach in my spare time. And so forth.Why would anyone want to go to a rammed pub right now?
Lots of morons on Twitter saying - without a hint of irony - that staying home is “letting the virus win”Live my life. It's only the flu. Not having some suit telling me what to do. I drink bleach in my spare time. And so forth.
But all businesses will have an income hit, so they just have to close the doors temporarily and send staff home then claim the helpi think it’s for employees not working.
What's your opinion on Sunak? The guy seems pretty on the ball, unlike Johnson.If we can be thankful for anything it’s that Javid was replaced by Sunak before all this really kicked off. I can’t begin to imagine how badly Javid would have dealt with all this.
He appears very smart and good at speaking.What's your opinion on Sunak? The guy seems pretty on the ball, unlike Johnson.
Soon as they feasibly can, which I assume is when they can comfortably kick everyone out. Probably usual closing time.Are the closing as of now? Or tonight at last orders time?
Of course they will.Surely kids will all flock to the shopping centre’s next week?
Yeah looks like theres noting being done for the self employed.I'm trying to find out similar. We have been absolutely fecked over here.
These people need to accept that they have no control over the entirety of their lives anymore. Some stuff is out of their hands. This dumb attitude has just caused further issues - increased the spread, emptied shelves, etc.Lots of morons on Twitter saying - without a hint of irony - that staying home is “letting the virus win”
Clothes shops and shit still allowed to open? Surely not?Surely kids will all flock to the shopping centre’s next week?
Hang in there mate, great to hear your mindset has flipped to motivation, I guess that’s why you’re in the profession you are in.I've had three outbursts of crying alone in the past three weeks or so. It felt very surreal, the first impact, I wasn't sure if I was going mad becquse everyone (including most of the medical community) were oblivious. It was very scary at first, but for the past 10-15 days I've gotten used to it and progressively more motivated - still scared, but calmer and calmer. Don't know how long it will last.
This seems seems like ages ago, two and a half weeks:
Is that ever really true anyway?These people need to accept that they have no control over the entirety of their lives anymore. Some stuff is out of their hands. This dumb attitude has just caused further issues - increased the spread, emptied shelves, etc.
It’s not, but this is really hammering away at the illusion.Is that ever really true anyway?
Are we such immoral and selfish feckers that the only way we will obey is if we are forced to. If so the sooner they impose martial law on us and send the army in the better as it’s the logical outcome.feck's sake Boris, don't advise us...fecking lead us!
Yup, they've costed for that I'm told. I think some employees will actually lose out from this but it's for the greater good I'm sureBut all businesses will have an income hit, so they just have to close the doors temporarily and send staff home then claim the help
I think it was Wednesday when I got to acceptance, I have literally been through the 5 stages of grief over this situation and (touch wood) haven't even been directly affected by it.Has the magnitude of this sunk in for anyone yet? I’m really struggling to get my head around it.

Feels like the pub, cafe etc. closure statement only happened because of what Tim Martin said on Sky News. Good that action has been taken but should have happened sooner. Feels like the government is being reactive rather than proactive. Was someone on Sky News earlier saying that the UK is days or so behind other countries in terms of infection rate etc so don't need to take action like lockdowns to try and forcibly reduce the spread but that attitude just means that we will get worse sooner rather than later, and by the time lockdowns are in place it'll be almost too late.Contrast this press conference to the same one this time last week...
Almost like the Government have made it up as they've gone along...
Been open all week mate.Clothes shops and shit still allowed to open? Surely not?
