Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

[Bruce Wayne]

Wine friday online or a workmate 'meeting' online is never the same same as human contact. My missus being home all the time is severely impacting on my enjoying porn on my dinner break... (I live quite near to where I work and on my break I go home and watch X-Hamster or an equivalent site, I'm a porn aficionado. I bloody well love it)

She thinks its great being home all the time but I'm not getting my afternoon release and instead I'm having to chat about bollocks as she can't talk about her rubbish to her mates in work as they're all annoying the shoite out their partners.
It's a vicious circle... bugger off back to work and let me watch midget porn ya bitch

It's a good job you can come on here and talk non-bollocks with real men

I worked from home for three and a half years solid mate and I can tell you from experience that it’s not good for the mind, body or soul.

The Winters especially are crushing.

Your fuel / leccy bills go through the roof and also ended up with a trapped nerve in one of my arms from sitting in a non office chair for hours on end.

A couple of days a week - yes.

Permanently- no.

I've worked largely from home for a few years now, and generally the autonomy is great. Traditionally I would have regular meetings for coffee or lunch, and an overseas trip or two per month, so this year has largely been none of that, and the wife has been working from home as well, so it's been a new dynamic.

I'm sure it's a great move for yourself and countless others, but surely you will miss the bon homie of actually being together and interacting with colleagues and friends...

The mental health aspect of this virus is gonna rise up like a latter day Kracken and bite a major part of the community on the arse...

Staying in, working from home, as my missus is advocating is inherently wrong. We are all human and need some level of contact, it's healthy and necessary...
Images on a computer screen....... Nah...

The introverts among us may beg to differ. We've been forced to interact all these years. A balance could benefit all

A fair number of those working in Public Health think the same, although perhaps more towards January.

I'm with you on that, somepoint after Christmas where everyone has forgotten about distancing to see friends and family and out on lash everyday.

Where I work (in the UK) we're currently still working from home and likely will be till next year. There are rumours it could be till 2021 but first they need to evaluate if people are being as productive at home as in the office otherwise they'll be trying to get us back in as soon as possible.

Hearing rumours I could be working from home until 2022...


But I have been working that way since 2009 so kind of used to it now.

LONDON: A pet cat in the United Kingdom has tested positive for COVID-19 in the first animal infection reported in the UK, the government said on Monday (Jul 27).It is believed to have contracted the coronavirus from its owners.

"There is no evidence to suggest that the animal was involved in transmission of the disease to its owners or that pets or other domestic animals are able to transmit the virus to people," the government said on its website.

It added that the cat and its owners have since made a full recovery.

"This is a very rare event with infected animals detected to date only showing mild clinical signs and recovering within in a few days," said the UK’s chief veterinary officer Christine Middlemiss.

"We will continue to monitor this situation closely and will update our guidance to pet owners should the situation change."

On the plus side, if the neighbours moggies crap in our garden, I can now shoot the little bastards and plead self defence.

The same logic could be applied to shooting the neighbors if they don’t wear a mask - not that I think the law would look favorably on either!

You live in the States, so have a right to defend yourself.
The gun lobby, including @TX Bill, will fight your corner.

We’re the ones with the two cats so Bill, as it often the case, would be on the opposing side!

MLB also off to a bumpy start

What if you’re ridiculously good looking, should you still wear a mask?

 

[treer]

A work colleague is convinced we'll be back in full lockdown Sept or Oct

That's it then, if your workmate said it.
Does he say anything about where we will finish in the league next year?
