I’ve to go in to work this morning with 4 other people and not an idea where they’ve been for the last 2 days.
I’ve to go in to work this morning with 4 other people and not an idea where they’ve been for the last 2 days.
I’m off to work with 30+ staff and 200+ kids who will have mostly gone out and done something at the weekend.
Theoretically 80-odd staff and 1,000 kids, but god knows how many of those will be self-isolating.
My numbers are about the same as Mike, or slightly less.
My wife's a teacher, so I'm definitely going to pick this up at some point
I'm WFH now until doomsday so my nieces are my lost likely route of getting this, more worryingly via my elderly parents who they live round the corner from and visit a lot.
I'm in 5 different houses today for work.
I guess until we are told otherwise I will just carry on as before with work. Going to keep my distance from everyone outside of work.
I'm in work today with an office of about 1,000 people. One of our team has to self isolate after being in contact with someone last week who is a confirmed case.
I told my manager last week about my concerns in that I get a train to work every day and he's told me to come in for now but we're expecting a WFH imminently.
I've made it clear to him that each day I'm in the office I'm getting a later (and therefore quieter train) and if nothing sorted by end of the week, I want to arrange a system where I WFH 3 days a week minimum.
Doesn't help that I have a overactive immune system so if I get this, I am absolutely fucked.
I’ve told work I’m visiting no customers unless they can set me a separate work area and sanitising facilities.

I'm in this morning but my colleague has rung the boss saying he's not coming in because he thinks his girlfriend has it. This is an interesting situation in which to be an old school boss.
This thread is interesting.
I don't understand why - if most of the population haven't had it - it won't just kick off again as soon as they ramp down the preventative measures and it inevitably gets reintroduced from somewhere else.
Which just to prove how fucked this is, isn't actually following government advice.
It may well do, but if you're tracking it like a mother fucker you have a chance of isolating the cases that spring up.
But, other than going full Madagascar every time someone coughs, how do you do that?
If you need to be coughing like a motherfucker to spread it, then our more mild social distancing measures should be enough, if it can spread in asymptomatic people, or people who have very minor symptoms then you just have to lock everything down forever don't you?
The other half of our office has called in sick, so my half is lolling at them being bum chums and spending their weekends together. Serves them right.
In the office a mere 45 minutes and if I hear another variation of the gag “forget Coronavirus I had Peroni virus Saturday night hahaha” im just going home.
Was there meant to be something in the spoiler tags?
It's a picture of his cock.

Even if you're not tracking it that intensely, the Wuhan numbers show that it's just plain quicker to contain than in it is to chase herd immunity. They said 10,000 people at most had it the other day. In a country of 60 million. We announced our first cases on 31st January so, to get to that 10,000 would've taken six weeks. Taking the case map as a guide, London has more coverage than say, the Scottish borders or Bristol. We do not move that freely to spread so evenly. It's a bust.
Fully fledged Asian.
I still find it interesting that despite them not being representative examples of the real world the cruise ship cases we know didn't decimate their passengers in line with what we are seeing now. Not sure what can be concluded from it though.
Indeed. Being full of a load of the target market for this virus you'd think it'd have taken people on them in droves.
How many cruise ships do you know where 7 people die from a virus?
How many cruise ships are fully-equipped floating hospitals?
Not sure what you're getting at.
Well exactly
7 people died on a cruise ship where 700 people got it. That’s pretty much exactly in line with what you’d expect the mortality rate to be
Given the age of those on it, is it?
Just been to a meeting to finalise plans for a community engagement workshop next week. Somehow it’s still going ahead and they’re expecting 100 attendees.
Thankfully I don’t have to go.
I'm a twit
What was the average age?
58. But over a third of them were 70+.
Looking at this only half of the expected number to die did die.
https://cmmid.github.io/topics/covid...estimates.html
According to the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) Global Passenger Report, the average age of cruise passenger was 46.7 years old – holding steady from the previous two years. However, 40 to 49-year-olds make up only 15% of all cruise passengers for that year
Seems like a decent spread but you can see young families offset the 32% of the 60+ folks.
EDIT: Yevrah'd.
Our chief medical officer thinks the true mortality rate is 0.6%.
I guess it's really easy to isolate people in a cruise ship and theh already have a shit load of hand sanitizer everywhere, doors which open with a foot operated button etc.
They need to be super clean to stop the spread of norovirus.
With all those fit and healthy people who have it and don't even know (or just brush it off as a cough) that sounds logical.
EDIT: Still, if half the globe catch it, that's 20 million dead.
People are reacting to this in predictably idiotic ways. We had a woman earlier who didn't want to come into contact with anyone when collecting her order, but is perfectly happy to have a troupe of workmen in her house for the rest of the week to fit it.
Classic 'let's take lots of precautions but only until it's inconvenient for me'
Now I know what your 'leaders' have been reading:

(check the date on that)
A woman in the staff room has a cough, temperature and a bad chest! They’re telling her to go home, she better! Utter moron! Mustn’t have a tv in her house!
We've got one guy who's working from home because he got a cough over the weekend.
Only feels like a matter of time before the numbers will ramp up.
Y'know, for all these closed borders, planes are still operating out of this country to supposedly locked down locations. Ryaniar's still flying to Spain regularly, for one. American Airlines have a flight at the minute that I assume it's a repatriation flight to New York.
Are they not for repatriation purposes?
We've got someone working from home today. They have no symptoms other than "maybe having a fever", but they don't have a thermometer to check. Proper piss take.
Maybe. It looks too busy but this whole Europe shutdown kicked off so quickly and I can't imagine it's quick to arrange a return flight.
They're running some to Poland today from Heathrow.
The ban was only put in place on Sunday.
I don't have a thermometer. Do most people have a thermometer?
I don't have one and they were all sold out when I checked Sainsburys a few days ago.
I get random fevers like once a month so I've always got a thermometer handy
