Is it just me who has the urge to punch people like that in the face?

No idea. Hadnt even heard of it till the news said it went pop. Could have been a crap site, or loads applied to pick stuff. Dunno.

If this was the one back in March over 50000 applied but only 100 people were prepared to do the work.

Was it? Sound. Was just on the news a bit earlier. It gets picked or it doesnt. Bigger things to fret about.

Have to get the train to work one day a week starting from beginning of June

Get yourself the best mask you can afford and a load of disposable gloves.

Grifting is bad, but not all the time

Think that was a private company that was used as an example of how ‘lazy’ everyone is because people either couldn’t commit for a full six months, didn’t want to live in a caravan with 6 others while paying for the privilege to get around pesky minimum wage laws or didn’t fancy 12 hour days.

I've just been to the shop... it's the first day we've had here where the temperature is over 25 and from my door I can see five groups of people sat drinking together. Now, they're all distanced but come on people!

Hahaha, seen this today, she just can't compute that she's actually part of the problem

"There are no official statistics on confirmed coronavirus cases in homes for the elderly and there is no proper register of cases in outpatient care." in Germany.

They're skewing the figures, and this shows why you can't compare between countries easily when they're all reporting on different criteria.

That’s not true. They include care home deaths in their daily figures, but only if the patient was tested.

What’s your actual point anyway?

Just a point of fact: the Secretary of State for the DWP is an actual Kopite.

That makes sense then mate.

This may already have been posted but this T cell thing seems interesting.

T cells found in COVID-19 patients ‘bode well’ for long-term immunity

 

[BlueStevie35]

Still a rolling average of between four hundred and five hundred deaths per day, which is still a fair few hundred off some of our European counterparts.

If we're talking about at least a few hundred people in care homes every day, we could soon see much lower figures because they've all been killed off already.

It's heinous that this has been allowed: 41,000 suspected deaths linked to COVID-19 and that's probably underestimating it as well.

Rolling hospital death average down to 226.14

All death average down to 378.43

Sorry, I was basing it on the line on the government chart (shown on the news) that appeared to be over the 400 mark.

'The Tories are doing a great job and I'll defend them no matter how many people die. It's not like it's me that's dying'
