:covid_19: 😷 šŸ„ Corona Virus the thread for all your fears ā“

I find your suggestion morally reprehensible. I thought our frugal lifestyle would be known and respected by all Sotonians.

The newly imposed constraints of Brexit on our workforce is something I thought had elicited a wave of considerable sympathy. Chambers’ long and largely fruitless search amongst the local population to replace our excluded, much loved cheap Eastern European labour, has wrought many sleepless nights for us.

Our purchase of a little personal health security would only be taken to safeguard the jobs of the proletariat. should it be offered by KC…or whoever.

Will numbers have fallen enough for schools to fully open after February half term?
Maybe, if the Gov. wants to get them open safely it would be wise to vaccinate all teachers and school support staff? Just an idea.

Yea I’ve seen that. Have to say the roll out for social care staff seems to be going OK. We were sent a link to book a place today. Attended a teams conference this with chief exec that said most people in care home should be vaccinated by the end of week. No idea how many care homes there are locally.

Another covid test this morning swab down the nose and quarantine wristband applied.
Negative result back in under an hour and a half.l
How accurate these tests are I have no idea. Locked up fo 7 days then another swab test but this one results take 2 days to come back.

They have made the classic mistake

Someone asked what spec was needed and in true IT unhelpful ness style they were told the minimum spec - not the spec you actually need to run the software at anything like an acceptable level

I have lost count with the number of rows I have had with software providers over the years on this subject, so much so that I started to demand it be written into contracts with repayment in full if their recommended spec didn’t work. Funnily enough the spec required was upgraded significantly

Reactive not Proactive :lou_facepalm_2:…FFS will someone explain the difference to them…maybe quantify it in wasted lives.

Think I might reopen the Mercedes as a Religious pilgrimage experience, taking tourists to sites where I listened/watched Saints score goals on ā€œHeaven Sentā€ streams

In Covid/Saints news, the club are giving up on match by match ST refunds. ST holders to be given the option of a refund of all remaining matches or carry the balance forward.

If we get back to St Mary’s, those who bought STs this season still get priority, paying game by game.

From the BBC

ā€œ1. Government scientists put the coronavirus R number - the average rate of spread - in the UK at 1.2 to 1.3, similar to last weekā€

The lockdown is going well then :roll_eyes:

Just a reminder that you should all be reporting your daily health to the ZOE COVID Symptom Study:

Download the App from the Apple App Store or Google Play…reporting takes less than a minute a day…even I can do it.

Do you need a smart phone for that?

I think it will load to a Laptop or Desktop too. Give it a try.

Had a proper email at work today about the roll out of vaccine to social care staff. We had to click on a link if we had or hadn’t had the vaccine and to sign up for spare spaces if we hadn’t. So looks like they’re organised locally. There are plans for 2 larger vaccination centres too.
Several people are still off sick. Still no idea if one of them does have Covid but she has been off and the manager made a comment about her maybe not being back any time soon. So thinking she probably does have it.

Mrs G spent a day working in ICU yesterday. Said the worst thing was the number of very poorly 40-50 yr old men with no co-morbidities. Scary.

Me no like
