627 in 24 hours?
I've just told my old boss to go and fuck himself on Teams.
He then asked me for a pint.
I politely declined his offer.
Yes.
Yep.
It's just like flu.
Your company will still pay it to you, but they can then claim up to 80% of it back from the government (up to a maximum of £2,500 p/m per person) by way of a grant.
They can also still make you redundant if they choose. EDIT: Subject to usual employment law, but in all honesty, who in the fuck is going to be checking those at the moment.
I really wasn't being alarmist yesterday, this is real talk.
Still think the cold war was bigger Lewis?
And to add to that, if China and other Asian countries have genuinely suppressed this and can manage that while keeping their economy going semi-properly, the world order is going to change. Which could get very nasty.
If this spreads to some of the larger cities in the South, people will be properly fucked. The hospitals are third world in terms of infrastructure and funding, and so absolutely unprepared for normal patient levels, never mind this.
Fancy a pint Magic

IDK how much to make of this one report, but seems there's some evidence coming out D + V are the presenting symptoms in some people.
I welcome our Chinese overlords.
I have a decent employer it seems.

Yeah, because we're just going to sludge along in the aftermath. We're not all going to be eating shit.
Yes, but the cold war stayed cold. Nobody actually ate shit.
As I'm sure is finally dawning on you, this is going to change the world as we know it.
Brother just sent me this photo from Norwich...for fuck's sake people...
Russia have been strangely quiet over this too. Or at least not in the news.
Good job they have no interest in spoiling for a fight with the rest of Europe.
Shit pub that as well.
They did in all the places it turned and stayed hot. The Korean War killed three million people for literally nothing. The Chinese will be pissing themselves though. If they didn't do this deliberately they should have done.
It's wild how quickly that Magic Money Tree appears when a Conservative is in charge.
Didn't hear one question about 'How you going to pay for it?' screamed from the rafters.
By the way, I would just like to mention that what the UK just implemented is literally the status quo in Switzerland but up to 100k not 30k.
Completely agree. It's simply not a virus the west is geared up to deal with at all. While China absolutely are.
How long would a "we're shutting stuff, stay indoors" press conference have lasted over there, how much clearer would it have been and how much more would it have been followed?
Because they're not testing anyone or reporting their numbers. They do the same with HIV. It's like how China claims there's not a single homosexual out of their 1.5 billion people.
We do have a vaccine for flu though, to an extent, and give it to all the comorbidity fuckwits so they don't die annually, mind.
Durham's all coffee shops and pubs. It's going to be a ghost town apart from the vape shops.
Seasonal flu has also killed ten times as many people as Covid-19 this year, and I bet Covid is stealing many of it's usual victims now as well.
Campus closed starting today. No more research for me for the time being.
I genuinely cannot believe that you're still banging this drum. Each to their own.
Shut the fuck up, Niko.
How many have died in car accidents?
Gold love you all with that thick bastard. Though you haven’t the society for it anyway.
Maybe you’ll get a useful job.
Whilst I do appreciate this whole situation is worthy of concern and life is going to change for the foreseeable future, I can’t help but think this thread has just turned into the panic echo chamber.
I'm almost positive the chick I work 5 feet from in an enclosed office every day has this shit.
She's also convinced but alas.
Football is suspended, what else are we supposed to do.
Thanks but no thanks.
I'm not actually panicking, I just come from a school of thought where I'd rather know about and run through all the eventualities that could occur.
I wonder with the veracity it's going through Italy, it might be over sooner for them.
+1 for Team Niko.
It takes me back to the football debates with all the melts who resisted the statistics before I donned them all senseless and spearheaded Liverpool's rise as the single greatest side in the history of the sport whilst even mongs got expected goals shoved down their throat by MOTD.
Daniel Sturridge. Rofl.
Funny that the UK have had to drip feed this lockdown nonsense cos everyone’s such a yob that if they’d done it earlier, everyone would have kicked off and started looting. Had to let a few hundred die so the thickos can see o ye it is bad durrrr first and go along with whatever Boris spouts.
I'm a twit
Nothing wrong with playing devil's advocate.
Yev's the numbers man, I'm just pointing out the numbers after he dug up the flu.
Just got off a video call with my mum (67) and her twin sister is round with her cousin (65) and my dad (67) has comorbidities.
Hopefully no community transmission here yet.
Fair cop, I did start it up again.
Guarantee town will still be busy in Jersey tonight. My mate made a good point that the government aren't accounting for the sheer amount of dickheads on the island. 12 confirmed, but there will be so many more.
So some absolute moron at the N and N self-discharged yesterday before their result came back. It was positive.
Sky Bet boosted Sunak as 3/1 to be next Tory Leader, had £10 on it.
Do that in China and they'd find you and end you.
We can't deal with this.
I really quite like the way he comes across, although he does look about 12.
