Your average SCUBA tank just contain compressed air. They don’t add any oxygen.Well how is it done? I wondered about 100 pages back if SCUBA shops can do it with their compressors. But I'm expecting that the oxygen contents are different.
fecking assholes.If this is accurate then feck these assholes.

Goddamn right. Just text mine asking what ipa's are in.Alcoholics will suffer serious consequences requiring significant medical intervention if they suddenly stop consuming alcohol. Keeping access to this stuff available is actually very considerate.
That would be absolutely despicable if true. Mind you, if it was actually the antiviral we’re all hoping for, we’d have probably known by now.If this is accurate then feck these assholes.

Yes, this would be a case for whistleblowing. In the US I could tell the available avenues. I’m not familiar with the UK’s protocolsNot sure if there's a better thread to ask employment related question.
My employer are a private healthcare provider (care homes and behavioural schools). As our kids are considered vulnerable we have remained open. The company have just sent out a briefing outlining guidelines for different situations. The crux of these were, if you come into contact with a child in work with a confirmed case you are to carry on as normal and not self isolate. If in extreme circumstances where you may live with a high risk person they may pay for alternative accommodation for you for a week. At each point they made they made it abundantly clear that they would not be paying anyone, anything if they self isolate. That includes SSP.
Surely this would be a case for whistleblowing? The directors are endangering the lives of the staff and children as far as I'm concerned and forcing people to ignore the government's advice.
.I think we can safely say if they really do have a vaccine the rest of the world will tell them to do one.If this is accurate then feck these assholes.

There is going to be quite a few of these. The mental toll of all that despair and death on those who signed up to be 'normal' doctors and nurses, as opposed to those like army medics etc. who see severe trauma in battle, is going to be extreme in some cases.Intensive Care nurse in her 20s from Kings College hospital where 8 people have died from coronavirus has killed herself.
Can only despair at what she’s been through in recent days/weeks.
RIP
Not quite a vaccine (yet?), more of a treatment. Supposedly it helped a 79 year old in Genoa with underlying health conditions to recover from the virus. Hopefully they are just trying to protect their limited supply from the overwhelming demand so they could do more testing, rather than doing this for profit.I think we can safely say if they really do have a vaccine the rest of the world will tell them to do one.
I don’t want to go too far off topic, but this stems from going away from the era where kids (boys) fought and would verbroeit asses beat which tough them humility and respect and there were old kids who wouldn’t hesitate to smack a kid if they were disrespectful.In ireland a group of teenagers surrounded a female jogger and kept coughing at her. She happens to be a nurse. Why are teens such little scumbags?
Literally my situation. I wouldn't be safe if I bought enough alcohol to last me for a week and I wouldn't be safe if I had no alcohol for two days.Alcoholics will suffer serious consequences requiring significant medical intervention if they suddenly stop consuming alcohol. Keeping access to this stuff available is actually very considerate.
Ya right. In an alternate world, probably.Hopefully they are just trying to protect their limited supply from the overwhelming demand so they could do more testing, rather than doing this for profit
My GP said he didn't know if I'd be identified, but he'd be surprised if I wasn't. Yet I know a few who have had texts and letters already. GPs seem oblivious to all thats going on, and there seems to be an infinite loop being created between GPs and 111, with both just batting back to each other.I haven't yet mate no. Rang 111 and have been told I could be waiting up to an hour when I don't think its likely I will be getting one. Im surprised myself GP's aren't doing me one, especially seeing as me and the other person I live with are both vulnerable.
hopefully we get one over the next couple of days
Don't know as they were never caught but they could've been.Two baldy electricians but any chance?
So like Trump then.Anyone saw Bolsonaro's thoughts on this ? Dude is pleading for schools to be open and bussiness to get back to normal. Half of the people in Brazil are very angry, the other half follows him blindly.
So what's their angle? That Indian company is basically producing the same medicine right? Our will it be inferior? If not it renders the US version pointless due to price.That would be absolutely despicable if true. Mind you, if it was actually the antiviral we’re all hoping for, we’d have probably known by now.

It’ll give Gilead exclusivity in the lucrative US market.So what's their angle? That Indian company is basically producing the same medicine right? Our will it be inferior? If not it renders the US version pointless due to price.
I guess either US puts pressure on Modi to discontinue it. Or the Indian version is not allowed into the States for exclusivity reasons and you just milk the American crowd. Problem for us Brits, and the NHS, is how low BoJo goes to BJ Trump?
I guess you've checked the overview list on:My GP said he didn't know if I'd be identified, but he'd be surprised if I wasn't. Yet I know a few who have had texts and letters already.

I'd hope the vulnerable shielding letter will hold more information if each of us get one (I would have assumed asthma would be part of the criteria, given the nature of the virus!) though the PM did say after this coming Sunday would be the start of self-identification for those that slipped through the net of the governments process. I guess that might be the next port of call if you don't hear anything this week.
For Gilead (and by that I mean Trump) to have taken this step so quickly surely means the US are preparing to roll out this medication pretty soon (weeks). Fauci will be put in a cage to only sign papers. Insurance premiums are going through the roof, and that's just for the lucky ones that have the right coverage in the first place.It’ll give Gilead exclusivity in the lucrative US market.
I've never really understood that. I've 2 girls who I love like you can't believe. I've been there for and supported them in all theirThat is quite typical. Yes he comes across as stubborn. But he has probably lived his life as a father and husband who felt it his duty to be strong and not rely on anyone.
These are ingrained habits and he is trying to maintain his social standing in the family as the strong one.
RICHESTEST PRESIDENT EVER! OBAMA POOR SO POOR. Or something like that.For Gilead (and by that I mean Trump) to have taken this step so quickly surely means the US are preparing to roll out this medication pretty soon (weeks).

The trump family are going to be so rich. So, so rich.
I dont have asthma, the lad I was replying to does, so I don't know anything severity or medicine for it. I'm on immunosuppressants for something else, which there's only very vague guidance on at the minute.I guess you've checked the overview list on:

It seems fairly specific on the drugs/dosages that mean someone's automatically in that high risk group.
Some vids show youths taking the lids off tubs of ice cream and giving it a lick, good luck washing that off.No it doesn't. It's one thing to be stupid and put yourself at risk, quite another to basically assault another person for laughs.
Although the supermarket stuff is super cnutish, you can wash the products when you get home.
I'm close enough to that to understand. Look after yourself.Literally my situation. I wouldn't be safe if I bought enough alcohol to last me for a week and I wouldn't be safe if I had no alcohol for two days.
These kids should lose access to the NHS for the rest of their lives.Some vids show youths taking the lids off tubs of ice cream and giving it a lick, good luck washing that off.
It's practically impossible to prepare for, people don't seem to realise what a one off event this really is.How is it possible that we're so behind in providing our front line NHS staff with the protective equipment they need.
Did we simply leave it too late to bother trying to source or organise production?
What health system, which is dealing with a major outbreak, has all the equipment they need?How is it possible that we're so behind in providing our front line NHS staff with the protective equipment they need.

At this time, I'd recommend washing them with dish soap, @kouroux@Dwazza Gunnar Solskjær If I buy vegetables and fruits, is water only enough to wash them for safe consumption ?
At least Trump is following health experts guidelines. Bolsonaro wants to straight up pretend like nothing is going on. What a mess.So like Trump then.
That not very nice but who needs ice cream right now?Some vids show youths taking the lids off tubs of ice cream and giving it a lick, good luck washing that off.
Ah sorry, I saw the dialogue and got the replies the wrong way round. The only stuff I've looked at on immuno-suppressants was written in the context of arthritis treatment, because I've got a family member in that category: https://www.rheumatology.org.uk/news-policy/details/Covid19-Coronavirus-update-membersI dont have asthma, the lad I was replying to does, so I don't know anything severity or medicine for it.
