The Germans are so worried about Corona virus they have started to put towels on the hospital beds.

Special measures at airports here today. Troops & protective gear for staff.
They delivered ONE box of Latex gloves to the airport.
Oops.
Plans are one thing. Resources may be another

That depends on how big the box was :thinking::smile:

I saw the chief medic (or deputy) on TV earlier. Good solid info from a senior medical professional:

Schools: Still unclear but children seem much less prevalent to the virus. If closed, would need 4 months to actually be effective. Healthcare and emergency workers are parents too. Kids would still meet up and spend time in groups. And childcare would often fall to grandparents, some of whom are elderly.

Football / sporting events: Still not clear, but virus seems not to survive outside long. If fans banned, likely to meet / spend time in warm busy pubs where virus appears to survive much longer.

All might change but that’s the medical reasons at present

Have you just seen the news concerning France? They mirrored us until this morning, schools closed and money for parents, forms are already to go online.
League 1/2 cancelled this weekend.

Its abundantly clear we’re cunts who view money and football over safety of the elderly and vulnerable, cancel football, I love the game but can people live with transmitting and possibly inadvertently killing someone as they wanted to watch a match?
Fuck being in a trench with a cunt like that.

I actually understand the schools open logic.

Kids are in a regulated environment can be monitored and for many they will actually get fed.

Not everybody works in an office so it is not possible for everyone to work from home. How do you deliver goods to warehouse/shops if drivers have to stay home to look after kids. Ditto Medical Staff, Bus Drivers/Train Drivers etc.

How are they going to survive on 94 quid a week if they are sick and zero a week if they just stay home. So it will be the old folk who cannot self isolate through this to try and stay safe.

As for matches - utter bollock. FFS what about fans on Buses/Trains/Tubes going to games? Insanity

In a trench? Are they doing roadworks outside your Waitrose Tarquin?

You not at the match yet contributing to the spread?

I get that but what are other countries doing with the closures and how do parents manage to do it?

Bit early. 3pm ko tomorrow. Not checking in or paying for hotel yet as could still be cancelled. Gonna have to keep working too as no sick pay for me. You?

I’ve been looking into working from home.
I can probably build the walls in my garage, but not sure how to email them to the customers :lou_facepalm_2:

I get sick pay yes and no I’m not going tomorrow.

You may have no choice as you’re at the mercy of what the punter wants, no phony no buildy.

Leave it out. Do you have any idea how much money the CofE have and guess the one place people want open when they’ve been told to fear their own imminent demise.
I’m hoping for an uptick if they keep ratcheting up the fear. Have to open all those closed churches and someone needs to make them safe first.
Keep fearing and get praying i say, it could set me up for life(however short).

Sorry Goat, looks like the Narich soiree is postponed. You could all still come … ?
