In a definitive way, or asked them to close? Sorry, I didn't see the press conference, I am in my not key office due to my boss being deluded :facepalm:

Just look at bbc news / scotland mate

Hancock said this in interview this morning I think

 

[Grendel]

Just tired and stressed out now. Been building Lego with my lad for the last 3 hours.

 

[David O'Day]

What were they then?

Why do you need to know the exact conditions? The NHS and PHE stated they had serious health conditions

 

[Johhny Blue]

Of course they will, hopefully the penny drops with people and they stop meeting up at the park for ice cream

I scream you scream
We all scream after ice cream

Caravan update I am over the moon after a good look round the caravan and squatting little shites out of my face , I have only just gone and found a pack of 4 Andrex rolls ! Winner winner chicken dinner !

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

Always had one for the kids. Wife even took kids away when I worked weekends. She used to love the look of blokes when she got in drivers seat. But you don't have to drive miles to have fun. Just being outside is great especially for kids. Eventually went to motorhomes as quicker and easier for wife to set up.

Just got a caravan to take to wife. Extra space for visitors and the 18 year old to get peace. Typical bad timing by myself.

Good on your Mrs , it’s very rare to see a woman towing - their job is co pilot and director/nagger

We have a small off site storage unit on the estate next to our main factory.
There's a big facility next door does paper products.
Was over there earlier and there were 3 18T lorries getting loaded with toilet paper.
Bet they're on 24/7 at the minute

We always run 24/7.

We don't have a shortage of toilet rolls. But you can only send out a certain amount at a time. We make about 3.5 million a day.

Britain has more than enough loo roll for people to stop panic buying, according to Andrex manufacturer

For information mainly
Not to glamourise or glorify

Even better when she was in a large towing vehicle with a twin axle on the back.

But she couldn't reverse it to save her life

I watched it on Sky news.

I can’t reverse either to be fair , I am like a fanny with a motor mover

Have you done parent Lego training m8?

Anyone got any theories on Japan's numbers?
Seem low and stable .Removed their state of emergency about a week ago.
Finally looks like they've accepted reality re the Olympics

Very easy. If you want the back of van to go to right you use your right hand on steering wheel upwards. To tur it to the left your left hand steers upwards. Don't do it too sharply. When van is nearly level where you want it you steer vehicle level to van. Just small corrections needed then if any.

The Japanese respect authority. They would have done exactly as told.

Wondered if that was it.

I suspect the Germans have some of that characteristic .
Much more communally aligned than here

 

[Grendel]

Apparently it was a nightmare. Huge queues in and out the store - then of course the breakfast menu stopped at the given time and people were shouting g and screaming at staff

Just saw this:

Normal Flu - Rate of Infection is 1.4 so patient Zero passes it to 1.4 peoplele and with those 1.4 passing it to 1.4 etc going 10 levels down the line means patient Zero has infected 14 people

Covid-19 - Rate of Infection is 3 (doesn't sound much difference does it?), but patient Zero passing it to 3 and those 3 passing it to 3 and so on means that when you get to level 10 then patient Zero is responsible for 59,000 cases

Think you've not go that quite right.

Level....Infections (1.4)...... Infections (3)
1....................1.00....................1
2.................... 1.40.................... 3
3.................... 1.96.................... 9
4.................... 2.74.................... 27
5.................... 3.84.................... 81
6.................... 5.37.................... 243

I saw the video he’s quoting. He got the quote right but you’re right the original was wrong. Still a massive difference though.

 

[shmmeee]

Seem a lot more concerned with hygiene too.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

The rumours that appear on Facebook etc. It's serious and it can get and will get worse but when 12% of icu beds are used by Covid-19 patients people running around saying the hospitals are overcrowded already and can't fit anymore icu patients is morally wrong.

So there aren't any other people critically ill and in intensive care other than those with Covid19? No heart attacks, stroke victims, sepsis, severe injuries from accidents etc?

I didn’t believe and tried it when you posted was shocked

Just make sure you don’t have any of those for the next 6 months

 

[mr_monkey]

Genuine question, where to you get 6 months from?

 

[Ring Of Steel]

Note to self: go on twitter at lunchtime and you will come away convinced that everyone is going to die before 9pm. Cease going on twitter at lunchtime.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

“The patient then enters a waiting room and sits with all other suspected cases”

Ummm....

That does seem a very silly thing to do. Even if you haven't got it when you turn up sitting in that room which will almost certainly have/had people in it that do means you'll likely have it before you leave.

 

[Broken Hearted Sky Blue]

Genuine question, why 6 months?

Just thought of a figure could be 3,6,9 or 22 months who knows

I have to say, I'm not enjoying the information age!

Once this is over, I might emigrate to Vanuatu or somewhere.

...along with everyone else, mind you...

 

[wingy]

See the G20 did a teleconference this morning.
Wonder how aligned their policies will be .
Meanwhile I read that this method of communication is boosting SK's economy .
So there will be winners.

Mate I'm staying as far away from social media as I can until this is over, so many people around with so much medical experience and instead of helping on the front line they choose to use their expertise to rant on twitter/Facebook

There is some useful stuff on there, but my god- I just saw an interview with a Spanish doctor who tearfully explained how he makes the call on which ventilators to remove from over 65s in order to transfer them to the younger people who have more chance of surviving, and how he then sedates the older people so they're not in pain when they die, alone.

And yet we can't stop ourselves from going to the fucking market & to the park.

I don't know who the doctor is but he is something else, these people in healthcare are seeing & doing things that most of us will never comprehend, and they are absolute giants of human beings, cannot give them enough respect & admiration, words don't begin to cover it.

Stay at fucking home

 

[Johhny Blue]

I respectfully disagree, I would love some positive news, long as its not made up.

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS
