German government now confirming this report in Welt am Sonntag: Trump administration tried to poach German virologists working on Corona vaccine in Tübingen and offered large sums so it would be exclusive to US https://t.co/DKWnuMHr9p

This could be a good point in time to tweak you LinkedIn profiles to include the key words Corporate Recovery, Restructuring or even Insolvency expert/consultant.

Just sayin’…

My what profile?

I could write forever on the latest news about what they’re asking the elderly to do but fortunately I’m not elderly. OK I might be considered OLD but no way fuckin’ ELDERLY and I will still be walking my dog through the woods and over fields twice daily. I’m in more danger getting Trench Foot and picking-up Covid-19 on my walk so they will continue.

We’re no longer going to lunch with friends at the local pubs, which pains me as I hate to think of them failing as businesses. Our short break in The Cotswolds will have to be cancelled and our November Caribbean Cruise looks unlikely.

I also have to apologise to all you youngster as I now realise the overstressed NHS is all our fault. How unreasonable of us to present ourselves as elderly and frail in such large numbers…whoever thought that would happen despite the evidence presented to the Tory Government over the last 10 years.

So now the Tories are asking for our assistance in rebuilding the NHS from ground zero after paying our National Insurance contributions for 50+ years.

MR HANCOCK…GO FUCK YOURSELF.

It’s not just that. We’re going to see the impact of all kinds of decisions we’ve taken. The only reason shutting schools down is such an issue is because of dual incomes and us getting used to that as the norm.

In response to this (embedded in Tweet)…

An excellent infographic here, albeit using US professions and salaries, but this shows the professions with the greatest exposure to the disease and those in the closest proximity to suffers.

Dentists are top right but earn loads - nearly as far up and right are hospital orderlies that earn a fraction.

I’m about here…

Where are you?

Which is why I have had to self isolate until Tuesday before my Dentist will see me. She cancelled my appointment Thursday as tourist interaction was high risk.
Need a 4 tooth bridge replacing urgently. Bad time for it tbh

Netherlands have announced school closure which means (I think) that along with Finland we’re the only European country to not close schools.

Edit: actually I think Finland might have closed schools as well. Not sure about Estonia

Dont want to do full time loggerring? You could always join me on a Beaver hunt.

Just back latest:

Those criticising hoarders. Slovenia stopping all public transport. Many now wont even be able to get to the shops

How can I self isolate when the hubby keeps on working? Do I lock him out? I fear this has not been well thought out
