German institute: Two years for pandemic to run its course

We need to get some things clear:

1. Say goodbye to the idea of you going abroad on holiday for at least a year.
2. Say goodbye to the idea of any top-level sport being played for at least a year.
3. Say goodbye to the idea of a normal life for at least a year.

I'd go out on a limb and say each of those three points will prove to be incorrect.

Just on the phone to my cousin who can't get any nappies for her newborn. Stockpilers are a pack of rats who will create a humanitarian crisis because they don't have the bottle to keep their heads

Any positive effects of long term isolation indoors need to be measured against the potential detrimental effects on many peoples mental health. We could very well start to lose a higher number of people of all ages due to any lockdown.

My wife's elderly granny passed this morning. 93
No visitors allowed into nursing home the last 11 days, she went downhill rapidly

I've been correct with every prediction and statement I've made up to this point.

Baby formula also disappeared very

Just going to work now to kick some Local Authority and NHS mangers arse, they have pulling face to face support of very vulnerable people who have enduring Mental health, they are all ready isolated by their communities by default. So they don't need to be completely removed from society. Honestly these managers are a breed of mouth breathing lizard's. There is a clear distinction between Isolation and social distancing, which has quickly been blurred by the bean counters.

Wouldn't be surprised if this directive came down from on high

Now in self isolation here, have a sore throat and my chest feels really hot as if I’ve just run far. No cough yet but legs feel a bit weak.

Stay safe mate and hopefully you get better soon.

Shocking that mate. Absolutely shocking.

Has anything been said officially about an impending UK lockdown or anything?
Hearing all kinds of contradicting things this morning from people who say they’ve “read” or “heard” stuff.

Not really the same at all but this dumb girl from my apartment block sends a photo in a group chat yesterday with her overflowing trolley containing at least four cases of wine "at least I've got the essentials!". But the hoarders really are a disgrace, aye. Thankfully my supermarkets are quite well stocked aside from fresh eggs and milk, so not really hit here too badly as of yet.

 

[orly]

A repugnant mess?

And a gargantuan [Poor language removed] as usual

Can see them putting a spend limit in place soon if this carries on. Limiting to 2 per item only works if people don’t then buy 2 of EVERYTHING.

Single packets of 0.19p generic Paracetamol on eBay going for over

Vermin.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Not a bad idea that. Have asked the others, but in the mean time, if @Bruce Wayne wants to start an "Info" thread, we can sticky it easily enough. One issue I have, being the internet and that, is qualifying the accuracy of some links.

Done. I've stuck with pages from Imperial, the NHS, UK government and WHO, so hopefully they're all fairly reliable.

Nope. Till Boris comes out with it just hold tight.
