Next door had their daughter and grandsons round earlier this afternoon, not enough people are listening.
Another Scottish death. 10.
Few pubs still open in Manc and doing a roaring trade.
I presume they’ll shut everything and go full on lockdown by Tuesday as everyone is still flooding shops. Not paid for a train all week though. Silver linings
More bad news, this time on how long it survives outside of the host.
From this study: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.105...=featured_home
We need a lockdown now.
I can't be bothered to check back if anyone has already posted this, but the hour early opening by Tesco for NHS and elderly this morning was beyond fucking retarded. Firstly, they shouldn't be having both on the same morning. Secondly, tills weren't open till the shop opened to everyone else anyway. So what they actually did was put a load of the most vulnerable people in an enclosed space with a load of the most high risk people to be carrying the virus for an hour.
It seriously defies belief.
If that's true it's a disgrace.
Why can't people be arsed to manage even situations like that properly? Just apply some thought.
That does sound a good idea.
All of the wannabe-future-celeb-youtubers 'trying to help out' by doing shit for kids with an obvious eye on a post-crisis morning tv talkshow tour and beyond are seriously getting on my tits and we aren't even into day 2 of half-arsed lockdown.
Might try and write a massive SOS message on my back patio as some sort of alleged art project and see how long it takes for google maps to update its imagery.
Why aren't the old people hours during the week?
First time going out in five days for me today and I popped to Aldi. You'd never have guessed anything was wrong. The shelves were full and there was nobody in there. I was having the time of my life.
People are still all plebbed out around here.
Hopefully they'll be the first to fall.

What the fuck.
Whoever did that should be kicked to death.
Went for a walk. Was chockablock.Passed about 40 dog walkers and ramblers in about 40 minutes.
I'm a twit
Yeah, we're going to be on curfew very soon. People are thick as shit to a greater degree than I was previously aware.
To be honest I think another problem is people don't watch the news/consume any form of media in the way authorities think they do, so they just will not be aware of half the messaging.
Old cunts are the worst. They just don't get it. They will soon enough.![]()
Greece has just banned going outside basically.
Did this dickhead just say he wants people to be able to go to parks when some London boroughs are closing their parks?
No, it won't. It's no lockdown. It's no military presence to ensure cunts don't cunt.Mr Johnson says that the shielding of around 1.5 million vulnerable people will do more than many other measures to reduce the number of coronavirus cases in the UK.
48 UK deaths since yesterday is a result, really, going by this.
I've quite enjoyed today. Went for a run in the morning, cut the in laws garden in the afternoon, and completely avoided the news.
Back to the dread.
Italian deaths 651 today. 793 yesterday. Let’s hope that’s a sign of the peak being reached, at least in the north.
Yeah, we should have been at about 100 by tomorrow if we were 2 weeks behind.
Some good news.
Had an email and text from my boss, he has asked for us to let him know if we need to isolate and supports it fully and asked for our availability next week. He says he is going to keep the number of staff as limited as he can, if you’re in, it’s to work with children and not to do other less important tasks.
We were meant to all go in tomorrow and have a meeting where he’s sort out a rota, but it seems he’s doing that at home today and let us know later, so only the people who need to be are in tomorrow.
A surprisingly sensible way of doing it.
Those that don't close now shouldn't be allowed to open again when this is all over. Not sure how you'd police that, but find a way.
You could just exclude them from the bailout scheme, the implication of which was that it only covers losses due to following official advice. If you haven't then fuck off.
The US are royally fucked aren't they?
Yep. In a years time the US will be the story, we're talking tens of thousands dead minimum.
They'll just massage the figures by giving them all a handgun come the end so they can bury the stats in with all the other gun deaths.
They've had more cases today than France had for the last month in total. Unless they massively improved testing, which could also be the case.
They should stop the sale of fuel and ban shopping trolleys. That's the kind of top class thinking that would get me a job in that Dominic Cummings circus troupe.
We have Ambulances over here.
The good thing about having an hours wait as standard is that you barely notice when you've died whilst waiting.
Better to die in the comfort of your own car.
