That is talking about someone with confirmed cases. If you have no symptoms, can you still infect others is my question or is there a point by which it becomes transmittable.

It's weird that people keep on typing ( mostly in a bubble ) to themselves about Brexit on here.

It's done, I wish it hadn't been, but it is, and typing to each other to show how much better educated or informed than those that voted to leave will change [4 letter word] all.

Regardless of how much Brexit may be negatively affecting you and your nearest and dearest, it's just one of many, many things you have no control of, so try to concentrate on things you can actually influence.

I think people are just keeping the thread alive in the hope that someone will see it and come in to share a benefit of Brexit as per the title.

Unfortunately we are still waiting, but I'm sure someone will be along soon to share one.

It would appear he did,but was not ill.

Best just to never think speak or discuss anything ever again then

For some, that's not a bad plan !

I gave one a little while ago, admittedly it has negatives as well, but, apart from one person who plainly wasn't posting just to reinforce their own ideals, most people gave it the studious ignoring which it probably deserved.

Overall, the following won't be a benefit, because other companies will plainly be negatively affected by Brexit, but, just in case anyone, rather than just throw insults around, anyone actually wants to talk about benefits ...

I was speaking to someone the other day that I used to work with nigh on 30 years ago. We still have some crossover in what we do, but not much. He's now high up in a high-tech, fairly specialised, engineering firm ( based in Stoke, but someone has to be ) which, as well as doing a fair amount of work for UK clients, also exports all over the world.

The majority of their exports are to countries outside the EU, so, for a variety of reasons ( including the weakness of the pound ) they're now, literally, tooling up to cope with an increase in orders which almost certainly wouldn't have happened without Brexit. It's a relatively small company ( turns over a bit over 100 million ), but, while they'll be many losers associated with Brexit, there'll be a few winners as well.

In time, companies will adapt, but plainly there'll be a fair amount of pain associated with those changes.

DM telling us today how we shouldn’t fear chlorinated chicken . Now it’s only an article in a newspaper but The strong talk of how we wouldn’t be lifting the ban under ‘any circumstances’ seems to be shifting slightly.

Chlorinated chicken Mmmm, be good to look and compare food poisoning cases and rates. Think the UK public will look dimly at falling standards.

The very same people who argued we should be ‘rule makers and not rule takers’ and who spent beards preaching about the supposed democratic deficit of being in the EU. Will be exactly the same people who’ll argue that ‘Americans eat it, and they’re Ok aren’t they?’ when this is plonked on the table as part of a U.S. trade deal.

Imagine being that buried in your position that you’d argue that a demonstrable and inarguable reduction in our food standards is what you actually want to see happen.

Taking back control.........

Thanks, good to see one benefit. I see you made mention of the currency rates playing a part, but I would be interested to hear how Brexit played a part too.

That's because Brexit made the currency plummet. So everything we make is dead cheap and we can't afford imports. It is all so well thought through. Not Catfish's fault though. He was only looking for any silver lining
