Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

[Bungle]

My niece just spoke to the wife telling her that her neighbour is having a barbecue about 20 people and heard her over the fence say you all need to keep your distance from each other haha the gardens about 16ft by 20ft .She's thinking of reporting them but it leaves a bad taste in the mouth if you wouldn't normally do that to a neighbour.

Get your niece to fill up a water pistol and stand out of sight next to the fence. Get her to cough every 10-15 seconds and with each cough squirt a short blast of water over the fence until they've all cleared off.

She's deffo got it and has been quite poorly.
I've no idea on asthma, but her doctor seems to have played a blinder as the virus was kicking off a few weeks ago and increased steroids and the inhaler thing she uses. This has helped massively so far.
She wants to get back to work asap once better as thinks you build up some immunity.
What struck me yesterday was her saying that some colleagues were scared of doing certain rounds now. I didn't press on this, but if carers are scared then that's not a good sign of how it's going.

I'm back at work tomorrow after the 14 days advised isolation, temp is steady 37.5, and that's ok I believe now. At least i will get the shopping i need !

Thanks again for asking mate.

Jeepers mate, thats awful to hear, send her all our very best wishes. We cant afford anything to happen to heros like her and hopefully it will be a mild strain she may have gotten. If you can, concrete boot her, this is a nasty virus, from ive seen you can begin to think you've turned a corner and then it can flatten you again like a wave, its a snakes and ladders type of thing. So if she starts to feel a bit better try and get her to sit tight as she might not be over the hump and she sounds like one who will be itching to get back, it will all still be there when she gets back, its here for a while. The very best to her and your Dad. Hearing of all the things she did and was doing, kind of spurned me on to be honest, going in and out of work myself, you can tell her that if it gives her a bit of a boost in anyway. We have to mind the good ones. The very best to her and your Dad.

Sounds like an excellent job by the GP, you cant buy a good GP in all honesty, some are just class and if you have a good one hold on to them.

I can understand where the carers are coming from, its not nice seeing colleagues going out sick and then having to step forward yourself, the stuff you said about the PPE was a worry, so i dont blame them. Behind every health care worker there will be someone they have at home, they will be terrified to pass the virus on to if they get it. Its probably the most stressful thing i find, not getting it, but passing it on to those you care about.

You take her handy mate, mind your own health, give yourself every chance, be at your second best and hit the road if your not feeling top trumps.

Good to hear.

Did you have to prove you were genuinely going to work out of interest ?

yes mate, I’m a pharmacist so had my nhs card and a letter. Good to see a “travelling 40 minutes for bread“ wouldn’t of worked

 

[COYBL25]

Pete?

Deffo not @peteblue

He would`ve been brandishing a 4 pack of Marstons Pedigree, one of which he was " testing " for medicinal purposes.

People pay for this rubbish.

Nice one.
Mate of mine took the leap and went out on his own and set up a pharmacy early this year.
I was crossing the road a few weeks back and this flash Jaguar 2 seater supercar stopped at the zebra crossing and flashed his lights for me to cross. I waved, and as soon as I started to walk it revved it's engine and started to move. As i went over to kick off the window went down and it was him. Absolutely pissing himself.
So he's doing well for himself, but said it's twice as tough as he thought.
He still smokes rollies as well, yet advises people on giving up smoking. Can never work that one out.

If you dont live there, permanently, you wont be allowed in.

Or out?

 

[Neiler]

does that make Lucozade an essential now then ?

John Barnes would say yes.

Just seen an article, it seems there is a track down to the beach somewhere in mid Wales,it had a sign road closed,a driver removed it to one side,and has gone to the beach,someone reported to the bizzies,and they have put boulders there and he can't get out.

A fella was filmed doing this near here this morning, he’d been kayaking off the beach. He undid the rope and removed the road closed sign and cones, just totally disregarded it. When confronted his answer was that this is a rural place and that lock downs are really for larger towns and cities.... this is the kind of selfish prick we are getting around here.

Did the locals set fire to him ?

Yep

"NHS England has announced 866 new deaths of people who tested positive for Covid-19, bringing the total number of confirmed reported deaths in hospitals in England to 8,114.

Of the 866 new deaths announced today, 117 occurred on 9 April while 720 took place between 1 April and 8 April.

The remaining 29 deaths occurred in March, including one on March 5."

WTF are they doing?

Probably waiting a bit just to make sure they're not skiving off the list of jobs their wives had made for them.

 

[canuckblue]

looking at the protein, fat content and appearance its possibly how long it took the bloke to fill the tub

Was he a fully fat Greek?
