People are now moaning that the free food packages don’t contain enough nutritional food in them.
Let them die!!!

That sounds like FM when you're in dire financial straits, really want to buy a certain player and so just start rifling through your squad for any old toss to add to the offer in part exchange.
The Plague?Originally Posted by Jimmy Floyd
They just got on with it during the plague (and half of Europe died).
At some point we will just get on with it, but not until they think hospitals can cope and they’ve minimised the risk of a large second peak.
Looking good at my place. Lots of Covid-only beds empty now. Covid ED attendances dropping a fair bit. ICU still busy - and still above normal capacity - but less so. The daily Covid meetings are more focused on restoring normal activity (though no dates set for this) than on the impact of the disease itself. We are clearly past our peak.
They did a bit more in the 17th century plagues but even that was just a bit of curfew here and there, as we still weren't too medically advanced and the state was absolutely tiny, as indeed it was at every point until about 1940ish (Lewis can tell you the exact date).
State-enforced social lockdown is new.
Given it's not been done before, where did the idea originate from? Was it actually Laurence Fishburne?
Wikipedia says the bible references it, so I guess it's always been on the cards as soon as we got to the stage where those in charge cared enough about lives.
Surely you all remember your lessons where they drew Red Crosses on the door during the plague. It was in the Rugrats episode.
We got told off by the covid management yesterday because we're using too much PPE as a department and aren't following PHE guidelines (which reduced standards for about the 4th time on Friday). We made the point that swabbing or doing procedures on a compliant adult is evidently lower risk than doing them on an 18 month old who coughs, cries and screams in your face for an hour so perhaps it's not unreasonable we use a bit more than adult wards and don't stick rigidly to the guidelines for all our patients. You could tell they agreed but are completely impotent and beholden to whatever PHE tell them, which makes you wonder what the actual point of these people are.
Their argument was "what will you do in two weeks when you REALLY need it and don't have it?" so we asked what they would do in two weeks when they had no paediatric staff because they're all off sick which seemed to pretty much break their minds.
It's not even me I feel for, I've not had to do anything where I feel particularly unsafe. It's the poor nurses who are swabbing kids multiple times a day and getting sprayed with their spit, or my registrars who spend 2 hours right up close to a screaming, crying baby whilst they try to cannulate them.
I thought I might have overstepped with a couple of comments but my consultant came up to me after and said she was really pleased I'd said what I had. Wish I'd asked the buggers to come do our swabs in the PPE we're being expected to wear to see the response.
Went to Wallyworld this morning and the bastards sent me back home for not wearing a mask. Got my balaclava out and I was good to go. Half of the workers are wearing their masks in such a way that it doesn't even cover their noses, but whatever.
Yeah we're asking all the parents to wear masks now and I've had to ask a few to move it to cover their nose. Baffling.
The fella who works in the corner shop near me uses his as some kind of chin guard.
This manlet was hiding in plain sight. I will never not notice it now. It's like finding out someone wears a wig.
It's like finding out Ed Miliband can't eat a sandwich all over again. It was a surprise, but it probably shouldn't have been.
Novak says he’d be opposed to getting the vaccine. Lol
What's one more injection?
I'm on a dial-in with work, and although we are 'priority one' (legal requirement for what we do, and we can't do it from home) to get back to work, most of the staff are old, knackered, or sufficiently not arsed about it to just say that they aren't coming back in if they have to wear a mask (not me this one). I'm not sure how they expect to get us back in as soon as possible, and yet you get the feeling that our manager thinks doing so will impress people, so that should get quite funny at some point.
I had a cashier the other day pull down her mask to scratch her nose with her covid-ridden (presumably) gloves.

$2 for a barrel of oil. The actual barrel probably costs more. Lol
77 more deaths here today. That’ll put the brakes on all the talk of opening up everything again.
How does a negative oil price work? Will MBS meet me round the back of a lock-up somewhere and hand me over both a tanker full of oil and a suitcase of cash?
Apparently so.
Crude oil is still trading at $24. Aberdeen is fine. Mon the Indy
I'll give you £30 for your shares Foe.
Negative means they pay you to take the oil.

You’re overpaying son, jokes on you.
For what it’s worth I’m in about a secure a job as I could have in Aberdeen.
A couple of my pals though. Ooft.
Drilling and reliability. Going to see a good few service provider companies go under I think, mainly in the drilling sector. They’ve been taking losses for years on the assumption the rates will go back up. Another drop will kill them off.

Branson putting his island up to try and secure a bailout is such a top billionaire play.
Surely a billionaire can, by definition, get his hands on £500m. So jog on beardy.
I think he's trying the "My money's only in shares!" defence which a certain Mike Ashley used once.
Barbers, Gyms, restaurants and Theatres all to open in the next week in Florida
Sounds like Kim Jong-Un is about to croak.
I have never realised just how young he actually is. 36?! Get the fuck out of it.
He looks properly overweight in his last photo.
Wasn't that going to be the case anyway? Even by normal standards, North Sea oil is expensive to drill and there are a few players in that area. Could easily see a biggie or two go under.
Arteta getting the virus will have indirectly saved so many lives, if not we would have seen the Man City/ Arsenal game go ahead and then probably a full weekend of fixtures throughout the country while the government were trying to push herd immunity.
Pubs, stadiums and public transport rammed all over the country.
250,000 going to Cheltenham over four days, the Liverpool Atletico match and the general feeling that it wouldn't come to the UK so public transport still very much in use suggests to me that we would be out of control by now, Walking Dead minus the walkers.
I do love the Scousers banging on about the Atletico match. It's only because they lost.
We'll look back on Cheltenham and ask some very serious questions. Absolute joke that it went ahead.
Good, bunch of arrogant cunts.
It's nothing to do with losing a game of football and everything to do with nearly 55,000 people stood next to one another inside a stadium, those same people who then used public transport after the game etc. Just those two events alone is nearly 300,000 mingling around in close proximity then trotting off to spread it across the red of the UK.
If as Andy mentions the weekends games went ahead too then it's not too far fetched to suggest that our current death totals could be triple of those numbers that are reported, I say triple because let's face it, we know the current count is suspect.
Questions will need to be answered but let's be honest, it'll be glossed over and forgotten soon enough. It's the stuff we aren't hearing about due to the massive amount of reporting on Covid-19 that really worries me.

"UK government full of mongos" isn't the hottest of takes.
Fair cop.
Yeah, it's a bit of a fortune cookie/Horoscope that.
