Coronavirus Death Thread

[Don]

Day 25 since first symptoms: ever so slight an improvement on loss of smell and taste senses. Barely noticeable if I wasn't so in tune with my mind and body but it has also come about at the same time as an onset of body aches. This presents a key scientific finding, the virus baddies trapped in my nasal cavity have been dislodged slightly and are not waging a futile battle in my system. The theory of the virus congregating in the nasal cavity may hold the key in society's battle for survival. Reporting out.

Taking enough viral loads in his nose to save millions like a Chernobyl fireman.

I'm sat outside my apartment block ... A duck wonders up to me and starts quacking its head off, as if I owe him money or something. He then shuts the fuck up, looks at me, then trundles off. #Beef #DuckAttitude

Donned.

We're not even on lockdown and my dad has gone full Howard Hughes and is now effectively holding my mum hostage.



This is going to do more damage to people's mental wellbeing than digging half a million holes.

[Andy]

Pretty much business as usual here, we might end up staying open for the duration. Quite why the building industry gets a pass is beyond me, you'd think people who were congregating on sites and in and out of people's homes would be the same as everyone else. Not so apparently.

Its ridiculous. Seems like all the suppliers will be back open for normal tomorrow as well.

Weve been told if we dont come in then we arent going to get paid.

I've had 5 of my 6 jobs cancelled and one job I took pictures of a roof for a scaffold team.

I've changed a lock on an empty property and screwed a shed door shut. Maybe 30 minutes work over 6 hours.

What a nice man.

[Disco]

I feel a mutiny brewing, open conversations across the office about how we shouldn't be here. Heart bypass is no board as well so we have inter-departmental agreement.

[Lewis]

Somebody on my friend's Facebook feed has lost their ninety-nine and ninety-two year old grandparents to it, and they're booting off at selfish people for not following the guidelines. Not the family birthday party you threw one of them ten days ago then love?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

At least they're together again.

[phonics]

[Boydy]

I just came in here to post that.

[Andy]

This lock down hasnt made any difference. Roads same as the last week or so, drove past a market which was open earlier. Loads of people out walking around.

No police to be seen.

[SvN]

It was fairly dead by me. I walked to the office earlier with the dog as my "designated exercise", and only saw a few people on the way, and those were all either alone or with a dog. There was a vape shop still open for some reason, though.

[Shindig]

Spain's numbers actually show ICU cases. 10,000+ in hospital, 1000+ in ICU's in Madrid. Madness.

Yeah it was very quiet today in comparison to last week. I popped into the Morrisons to pick up some bread, milk, etc. and people were keeping wide berths when passing, and waiting at the till with a large gap, so there has definitely been progress.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Just thrashed out a deal which will see us go to rotation policy which for me means two days in a week. When I say 'thrashed out a deal', what I mean is I went to MD's office, found him dithering and cowering like a broken man, and basically told him we had to do this at a minimum.

In days I'm sure it'll go to full closure.

[Alex]

It sounds a bit like you might be in charge now Jim? This was your real-life, "I am the captain now" moment.

[Andy]

It's the sort of Alpha move we all dream about.

[bruhnaldo]

I think I'm at "acceptance", I feel less dread about being at work but am almost certain I'm going to become infected soon.

[Lewis]

It looks like a decent jump today, but we seem to be falling back on the TWO WEEKS BEHIND ITALY stuff.

[Shindig]

Man, can they just make Cuomo President? That man is pissed. 20,000 ventilators just sitting there in a stockpile and New York need them badly.

[phonics]

Cuomo is not good. Just because he looks good next to the most woefully unprepared for this moment man in the universe does not make him good.

Have to lol at Trump killing a million people because he thinks the stock market having a green arrow gets him re-elected.

It was only my team I spoke for. Fuck knows what the rest of the company is doing. He has completely decentralised all decision-making responsibility, it's like the server in his brain has shut down.

[Mellberg]

Good to hear.

So my ex has it, or is as sure as one can be that they do. She's 30, otherwise really healthy (low BMI, gym 3 times a week etc) but over the last 24 hours she's developed an awful cough, temperature and aches all over.

Not sure how good she is at dealing with ill, but says she feels like she's been floored by it.

Didn't know brooms could get ill?

[phonics]

How is Yevrah's ex younger than I am. The man's been in his mid-30s since I was posting here at 13.

[Lewis]

'The gym again? That's eight times this week. Can you bring twenty bags of pasta in?'

[Boydy]

I also thought this.

I'm short of breath and have that bullshit dry cough. No fever though. Had sinusitis past week or so.

I’ve still yet to be given a laptop. Be about ten of us left from 120 on this floor by tomorrow

I'm 39, 'cashback' I guess.

[Yevrah]

And I noticed the markets had spiked, is it the US' new strategy to let it happen?

What a potential sacrifice to make. If only he didn't look young, fit and healthy it might mean something.

Dear Jesus. This explains why all the pensioners are still roaming about as normal. One of them chuckled to himself yesterday when I gave him a wide berth. I should've nutted him and coughed in his face.

Raises for next year cancelled, hiring freeze, all non-salary spending forbidden. Sounds about right.

I’ve had the dry cough for 13 days, shortness of breath for 9, viral conjunctivitis over the weekend and nausea with the shits today. I’m increasingly convinced this is it.

India firing right in with heavy measures.

Yeah I've had the cold for 7 days, then sinuses and the shits, now the cough and shortness of breath. No fever at any point though.

I'm on day 11.

[SvN]

I've got something, but I don't think it's Coronavirus. The only proper symptom I've had is a very mild shortness of breath. If I take a very big, deep breath, it makes me cough a bit, almost like my lungs are being tickled. Otherwise, I'm sneezing more than usual and have a bit of a sore throat. Nothing else, so I reckon it's just a mild cold.

[Giggles]

Every time I see someone talking about it I convince myself I have it.

This is the problem. At any other time I’d be thinking nothing more than ‘for fuck’s sake, hurry up and go’. Now I’m thinking ‘for fuck’s sake, is this cunt going to end me?’. Every morning when I wake up and it’s still with me.

Anyway, maybe we’ve all had it already:

That would be nice wouldn’t it?

[Shindig]

Aye, it would. I'm not even sure. I've definitely had some lung inflammation lately but that could've just been the cold mornings tickling my athsma. The sore throat keeps trying to make a comeback but it's more dry than irritated.

From next week, 5,500 final year medics and more than 18,700 final year student nurses will "move to the frontline" of the NHS

Oh.

I've been a pinnacle of health since I got over pneumonia in May (got it in Feb). I definitely haven't had anything since, and this cough and breath is giving me the fear.

In stunning news most of the office have been put on furlough until the end of May, skeleton staff only (possibly literally). My suspicion is it became cheaper to let Boris pay us our 80% than to have us schlepping about the office with no customers to speak of.

Officially out of the running for TTH Last Man Standing.
