I meant that Mad Nad had got a job as a minister

Yes have to question her suitability...and the sanity of those who gave her the job

Maybe they'll start taking it seriously now. We appear to have a very lax attitude compared to other countries.

Over the worst of it, glad she’s making a full recovery

Actually right thread. You’re going to find out now just how great your chosen leaders are.

And your chose leader would have had us do what exactly ? What exactly is your chosen leader doing these days ?

Try being coherent and spelling the basics correctly and I might consider lowering myself to answer you.

Haha. What's wrong, can't answer the question ? Hiding behind my spelling mistakes ? You sad twat.

Concern for her mum, obviously.

 

[wingy]

We've had our first case at work, one lad has been sen

Concern for her mum, obviously.

I know it's difficult but given the evidence and advice, what the hell was she doing having her mum stay with her?
Best to both of them .
She's from a nursing background too.

Looks like one Doctor is holding the media accountable for the panic.

Firstly - I am glad she is on the mend.
That said - does anyone else find it odd that out of only 382 cases confirmed that one of them happens to be a minister (health no less) that in theory would be privy to far more information than the rest of us?

I’m not claiming any kind of conspiracy theory it just seems bizarre... maybe the number of cases is MASSIVELY higher than we’ve been told?

Not really, the receiver could be 100% adhering to NHS guidelines (like I would expect our health minister would be doing) but the 'carrier' may not be which could be anyone. We just don't know.

Even more reason for the barge-pole though!

Merkel believes 60-70% will become infected in Germany.

guessing as health minister she might’ve been around hospitals etc where it was.

I agree about the numbers though, undoubtedly they’ll be loads more cases than the confirmed numbers in every country. they reckon many may be carrying it with only very mild symptoms

 

[CCFCSteve]

worst case I think

 

[Deleted member 4439]

"As many as '60 to 70 per cent' of Germans will be infected with the deadly coronavirus.

Addressing a parliamentary group meeting of her Christian Democratic Union party in Berlin today, Merkel said that 58 million Germans could contract the disease if it spiralled out of control"

In the same paragraph from the Daily Bollocks

 

[David O'Day]

Merkel said up to not for definite, it was the possible worst case scenario. Same as the uk government said a 5th of the uk workforce could be sick at the same time. It's a possibility but it doesn't mean its definitely going to happen.

No
Shame the BBC put it out as I described it wankers

People need to be weary of things they read in the press or experts on tv as "it's not going too bad" doesn't make a good story. O one should be blade but most experts would agree the UK is doing a good job at the moment. The have one plan unlike some of the more federal style countries and they are not being political and seem to be letting the cmo and phe call the shots

One student on campus has been isolated after returning from Italy but not yet confirmed as being infected, but loads of departments seem to be making contingency plans to work from home, suspect I'll be doing the same before too long the way it's going.

FWIW, that individual is now confirmed NEGATIVE, and has been readmitted to the general population. The experience is helping us to formulate robust processes for how to manage future possible and confirmed cases.
Take a look at Insite for the latest information, which generally follows PHE guidance directly (with a bit extra info tailored to our setting). But my personal view (and i have suggested it to the powers that be) is that if people are coming down with any sort of cold or flu-like symptoms, and they are able to work from home, then they should stay away from the workplace (which is what BoJo was saying might be considered in 10-14 days time if the modelled numbers indicate it). I'm a strong advocate of this approach to avoid entire teams being knocked out by coughs and colds, irrespective of coronavirus.

HTH ...

 

[shmmeee]

One thing I hope comes from this is more employers accepting home working as valid. Hopefully they’re forced to seriously look at it and then the sky doesn’t fall in and those of us who can easily work from home (he says blatantly not working while at work) can do so.

 

[wingy]

I have a question.
This virus was called Sars2 when it first took hold .
It seems that the attack and response in the lung's follows the same pattern .
There was after the fact a vaccine developed and I think approved for use .
They must have tried this out,yeah?

The Uni has been running a pilot of what they call "agile working", and i think the latest nastiness is likely to lead to an acceleration of the wider adoption of the programme. Essentially, if you are able to work from home (no meetings in your calendar, etc), then you may do so. It is part of the drive to improve people's life-work balance, but also to reduce the Uni's carbon footprint if people don't need to use their cars to travel to work.
My missus works for Citizens Advice (though not giving frontline advice) and works from home 2 days per week, but spends most of that chatting to her CEO via Skype.

We used to have it “in exceptional circumstances” or if we were slightly ill (we didn’t used to get sick pay so was a compromise), then the CEO got twitchy about the fact he couldn’t see everyone and cancelled it all. Such bullshit. There’s literally no reason for me to ever be in the office.

I think the main problem with the early SARS vaccines is that they were NASTY! But each coronavirus will have a slightly different make-up, so it's unlikely that the vaccines would cross-react, even if the symptoms are identical. It's been the perennial problem with generating a vaccine for the common cold (which is often caused by members of the coronavirus family)

I'd increasingly say the same about the BBC really

HTH ...

Lots of depts seem to cracking on regardless and planning to stay away, the amount of VPN access requests we've got now has meant they're all put on hold as it doesn't have the capacity. Lovely little shitstorm

 

[clint van damme]

see the BBC interviewed Farage about this epidemic. I mean why wouldn't you seek the opinion of a man who holds no elected position and had no medical knowledge?

We've long been told it's not workable despite us all knowing the only actual barrier to it is our own discipline, the real reason is that they can't be arsed with the logistics or the 'if I let you do it, I have to let them do it too'.

Now it may become mandatory for a little while it'd be nice if it goes well enough it becomes a viable option. I suspect they'll just pretend it never happened and cite emergencies only though

While true they are questions being raised in wider society .
Some of it seems counter intuitive .
For instance schools, which by the way has prompted an online petition to Gov't.
Across both Coventry & Warks it's raised 200k signatures I think
People are finding it hard to compute that to get on top , why wouldn't you at the earliest point.
