Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

There was an interesting observation on Talksport earlier. (Yeah, I know).

It was an English bloke who worked in St Petersburg, for the club iirc. Anyrate, after he had talked about some on line game of Connect 4 with Stoke, he was asked about this virus.

He said Russia is not arsed. They have hardly any cases.Despite a massive land border with China, and a huge number of Chinese at Russian universities. He reckoned they had already had it, but no one noticed cos Russia gets poorly every single winter anyrate.

Food for thought.

I was speaking about Russia today. Weirdly been off radar of news outlets. Standard communist state probably have mass graves filling every minute.

There are security reasons that you need to use their laptop rather than your own device I suppose?

Yeah it's getting all the software and programmes we use. They are just years behind other offices.

Bootle Lidl seems fine at the moment for anyone who needs to get some shopping. There are a few shelves empty but most stuff that you may need is available. Hardly any queues, all nice and orderly. Why not pop in and buy your Granny something nice.

Sadly me nans got no use for a full size canoe and welding kit

Firm announced working from home 4 days a week, giving us £100 for a 2nd screen.

5pm - pregnant people are all but self isolating, my gf is in her third trimester so I guess that means me too.

Pretty surreal.

Should be able to use your own remotely using works security. Guess it may depend on size of business

From what I gather the Russians are telling its residents that they don't have the Wuhan Flu, even if they have all of the symptoms.

I heard that.

He made it sound like it was pretty relaxed over there about it.

I bet there is no mass panic if they are. Human centipedes all over Moscow and only a few STDs being picked up.

I'm glad theyve been open this is going to be a long term process.

It's best to be open early on. Lots of those I speak to think a fortnight and it could all be ok again.

Position I am in but not sure what to do with work tomorrow.

so basically because i'm asthmatic and need a flu vaccine every year i have to stay in for 3 months. FFS

Which is a bit ludicrous mate.

The fresh air isn't gonna kill you.

Obviously, a lot depends on where you live and stuff. If I was in London atm I wouldn't be going on a walk and a run like I have today. But I live in the countryside pretty much (lucky for me).
