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

At least some companies that provide the real necessities in these times of need are putting their customers(or profit) first.

"I’m sure you’ve received a lot of emails from different companies over the past few days, updating you on their plans during this uncertain time… well, here’s ours.

Our online shop is still very much open"

But the idiots are everywhere.

ā€œOver the past few days we’ve seen more people than usual coming to the site to stock up on wine, which is beginning to impact our usual service levelsā€

Panic buying wine from wine clubs. We might be worrying about the wrong illness :joy:

My eldest daughters boss appears to have caught it, she lives and works in London.

He woke on Saturday morning with a sore throat, then quickly developed a fever, that afternoon he was coughing so badly he was having difficulty breathing. The fever had subsided by that evening, but he was still left with the cough although that is lessening and he is feeling much improved today. He is in his late 40’s with no major health problems.

The office has been closed for deep cleaning and staff working from home.

Daughter is feeling OK at present.

I’ve felt like a cough is starting for about a week. Although i joke about it, my parents are the concern. Doesn’t look like anyone will know until far too late.

Glad the daughter is fine.

Persistent new dry cough and/or a raised temperature. You can get a temperature measuring device from the chemist. If you smerk tabs and cough, it will be a different cough to that caused by the tabs.

I can understand wanting to go to the pub. For me though, it would be all in the timing. Time it right that you’re in there when the quarantine enforcement comes so you don’t have to leave.

Yup, the article I linked had a disclaimer saying the same thing.

Even so, I find the wording interesting. ā€œLacks evidenceā€ ain’t exactly ā€œcompletely fabricatedā€.

We have evidence that labs were creating coronavirus strains, so you’ve got one of two options really.

It’s either one of those that has gotten out or something extremely similar which has developed independently.

So this subhead:

isn’t convincing then?

Even if not, you’re presenting a false dichotomy there. The consensus among virologists seems to be that it’s a virus that has jumped species. It’s not as if such things haven’t happened before.

Barely got a cough, just feels like one is on the way.
Two maybe three days and i can get the job ready for decorating, tell the customer two to three weeks for lime to cure and lock myself away.

Nah, not really, but fair enough.

New poll:-

Is the coronavirus:-

  • Something that escaped from a lab
  • Something that jumped species a few years after people started making similar virii in labs.

My daughter works in one of the local supermarkets.

Today, a woman got caught nicking free bog paper. She went into the toilet in the cafe, opened up the communal roll dispenser and then tried to stuff an industrial size bog roll into her handbag.

A member of staff, waiting for the cubicle, asked her if she could have some of that toilet roll she’d just nicked, which the woman denied doing (even though it was hanging out of her bag).

Security were called in and the toilet roll was returned. At this point, I am not sure if any charges have been brought :smiley:

Either way she’s had a shit start to the week.
