SARS CoV-2 coronavirus / Covid-19 (No tin foil hat silliness please)

[Grinner]

I have a feeling there will be a new appreciation for teachers after this ends.

It's all kicking of now on the sae trajectory as Italy roughly. People will start to learn the hard way. I went to the local shops at lunch and it was 50% old people, there at the busiest time of the day. I mean they literally have all day to do their shopping. Nuts.

Northwick Park Critical Incident was in place for 24 hours and is now stood down according to BBC.

 

[Fully Fledged]

It's messed up mate. Profits before people.

Totally messed up.

On sky news Italy it says that the death rate in the UK is higher than Italy was at the same point in the trajectory. Not sure if that's right but really worrying considering that Italy has an older population and we're struck by the virus sooner than the uk

Don’t know about the trajectory but if I recall correctly we identified out first Coronavirus case a few days before Italy although my recall could well be faulty.

Yep. Just said the same thing in another thread. Big groups of them in town today. Not sinking in at all I'm afraid.

Finally something sensible coming out of Turkey

What are you on about? Turkey's done a pretty good job so far with its measures against the virus.

 

[Carolina Red]

If you want to have a go at @Carolina Red at least tag him.

I do enjoy my letters. All the letters. There’s 26 of them, not everybody knows that.

 

[Jippy]

Arcadia Group is gone apparently

Where are you seeing this?

 

[2cents]

Any news from Italy today?

 

[Tarrou]

39 deaths in UK today

I have a feeling there will be a new appreciation for teachers after this ends.

I think there will be a new appreciation for a vast number of overlooked jobs, from farms and factory right through the supply chain to supermarkets.

My old local pub in Berkshire closed on Wednesday. They're now in operation as a (posh) takeaway and off licence. Order by phone and pickup outside or drive through. They're now trying to update their insurance to offer deliveries.

There's a tiny shop in the village and they're going to try and run a mini supermarket between them as the pub/hotel has bigger stockroom/fridges/freezers etc (they're more or less across the road to each other) with a delivery service.

Just a nice diversion from wetherspoons etc.

It's heartening to hear about instances of community spirit, even if some of them have a commercial angle.

 

[Jacko21]

It’s closing time.

 

[ha_rooney]

Finally shutting shit down

I was reading very worrying news, as they will not close mosques etc.

 

[F-Red]

People clearly not listening to avoid those public places so the rules are coming in place, the rate of increase isn't slowing so deeper action is required.

 

[Grinner]

time gentlemen please

 

[dwd]

Where are you seeing this?

My mate's missus works for them and has been pre-empted by her manager.

 

[Moiraine]

Finally shutting shit down

What do you mean?

 

[LARulz]

Everything to close in the UK (take out OK for some places).

He said they'll review it each MONTH which surprised me

 

[Berbaclass]

I got criticized yesterday for saying people didn't care/people weren't listening.

 

[Smores]

Better late than never.

 

[Eckers99]

Yep. Just said the same thing in another thread. Big groups of them in town today. Not sinking in at all I'm afraid.

They need to be told what to do. It's already been established enough times over recent years that people are too selfish or stupid to make the right calls off their own backs.

 

[F-Red]

Everything to close in the UK (take out OK for some places).

Not everything, just pubs, cafes, restaurants, gyms, nightclubs, cinemas.

 

[Jacko21]

Government to pay wages.

 

[Grinner]

Pubs are going to be fecking rammed tonight

 

[dwd]

The pubs are gonna be rammed tonight

I live close to one and it's been shut down for a week and makes regular announcements for people not to come. Schools, restaurants, universities.. also all closed.

The only real issue is the Morons from Mecca bringing it back and spreading it.

 

[Jippy]

My mate's missus works for them and has been pre-empted by her manager.

Oh right, cheers, just nothing in the FT or Times etc and there is a lot of misinformation in this thread.

 

[Berbaclass]

No limit, woah.

 

[LARulz]

Not everything, just pubs, cafes, restaurants, gyms, nightclubs, cinemas.

That's pretty much most things no?

 

[TMDaines]

Sunak is really good at this.

Don't quote me on it, hopefully it's wrong but I don't think it is.

 

[arnie_ni]

80 percent of all salaries of all businesses in all the uk. Thats massive

 

[LARulz]

So what about the people who lose their jobs? Isn't his scheme only for those not officially let go?

 

[saivet]

Sunak is really good at this.

He's a good speaker, highlighted even more so next to Boris.

 

[Berbaclass]

Bringing out the big guns now.

 

[dwd]

Nothing for the self employed?

 

[CassiusClaymore]

Sunak is really good at this.

Yeah. Completely embarasses his boss.
