Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

Meat packing factories have been the places where there has been significant outbreaks within the past few weeks.

Thich are cold, cavernous spaces, have people undergoing heavy exertion, perspiring and breathing heavily, in relatively close proximity to each other for fairly significant amounts of time, touching multiple different surfaces Wich are not cleaned in between and people are more likely to touch their face and mouth.

See any similarities with a gym?

Not trying to shift or distract the conversation but thought it was Interesting that I heard them saying the biggest area of infection is believed to be the break /canteen areas where the staff mix freely and more closely in all the conditions you described earlier .

This was something we were aware of at the start of May. We don't 'need' to eat meat, so should they even be open?

To understand the danger of COVID-19 outbreaks in meatpacking plants, look at the industry’s history

COVID-19 outbreaks have occurred at more than 100 US meatpacking plants. Geography, workforce demographics and economic concentration make it hard for workers to fight for better conditions.

Industrial UK, USA and German centralised abattoirs and increasingly vertical meat processing are gross. Nothing to do with meat, per se.

No, he sits in the corner of Wetherspoon's on his own supping half a bitter. That's what he thinks all pubs are like.

We don't have Wetherspoons here in Australia thank Christ. I drink Guinness or Coopers Pale Ale in my local Irish pub.

Anyway it's my night off tonight, just had a joint and I'm watching us tonk United at Goodison from last season, thinking of happier times.

Stay safe mate.

Ever been to The Lisbon?

Used to drink there regularly in the late 80s/early 90s, would go The Lisbon and then onto the Pink Parrot on Duke Street. I was a bit of a skinny goth at the time and they were the most welcoming venues

I walked through the Gupo dog market in Busan, they dont go out of their way to welcome foreigners there. It was obviously grim. They hang the dogs by the neck and beat them to death before skinning them and eating them in a soup.
