So even when I post a 'Factual' message that you now can't dispute, you call it dangerous. That's typical of you. You really are something else.thatdberight wrote: ↑Sat Mar 21, 2020 10:05 amFrank.

Now changed.
We've been as good as gold, only getting what we need, but as you say, you see empty shelves and when something is available you might buy more than you actually need, my wife saw toilet rolls today, but didn't get them as we don't need them. I must admit I had the feeling, perhaps you should have got some, everybody else is. It's the wrong attitude, and I hate it, but we might be pushed into it, unless people get a grip and start being sensible, plus stopping scaremongering in the press, social media, uptheclarets, would help.Gordaleman wrote: ↑Sat Mar 21, 2020 12:25 pmAt 12.16 pm the BBCs live update page showed a pic of a supermarket with empty shelves. I can't help thinking that maybe that in itself will create more panic buying, as normally sensible people start to think that there really is no food and attempt to panic buy themselves, creating an even bigger problem.
I'm self isolating as much as possible, but I did go out in the garden this morning to do a bit of tidying up. I also put a note on my door aimed at delivery drivers, telling them I was self isolating and asking them to knock, then step back from the door. To be fair, they will probably do it anyway.FactualFrank wrote: ↑Sat Mar 21, 2020 1:02 pmYeah it is has a knock-on effect.
People buy more, not because they are the same breed of people who tried to take everything for themselves, but because they think if they don't, those inbred people will be along again and take the rest - therefore taking 1 of 5 will mean the dregs of society will just come along and take the remaining 4.
I'm shopping as local as possible. Cafe, greengrocer, local mini-market.

2-1 down at home. Bloody hell.
Without remembering how it finished, I doubt it will.

8000 extra beds as a result and 1186 ventilators...
this is the country pulling together
Sorry to hear that. Things are out of our control and there's little or nothing we can do so I can understand the anger and frustration. Hopefully the measures announced yesterday will help you/your company. Fingers crossed.gandhisflipflop wrote: ↑Sat Mar 21, 2020 2:23 pmWell I've just been made redundant temporarily as a result of this. Hoping that the chancellors announcement means I can return next week but everything is up in the air. I feel a lot of anger and frustration at the moment about the whole situation (not my company I totally understand it from their point of view).
I called at my BS for some cash yesterday... On entering the woman gave a good Blow of her Nose...bit of a wipe and up her cardigan sleeve!! I was fcuking mortified ... No wiping of the Hands...counted my cash out deal done. Apparently the covid19 brochures and common sense explain what you do with a snotty rag.bin it and wash your hands!!!Croydon Claret wrote: ↑Sat Mar 21, 2020 4:38 pmOur local council, Croydon of course, has stipulated that anybody showing symptoms should refrain from placing used tissues into the bin for at least 72 hours.
Could have been tainted money - obviously not laundered.tim_noone wrote: ↑Sat Mar 21, 2020 4:47 pmI called at my BS for some cash yesterday...

Italy is in a worse state than China! Nearly 800 today alone.dead.Lowbankclaret wrote: ↑Sat Mar 21, 2020 6:35 pmConsidering we are only testing ill patients in hospital a rise of 1035 people to me is massive.
We need to really pull together and do the right things to get through this.
Glad to see some great companies stepping up to make ventilators, real shame mine was not one of them.
Yes I saw that, watched the sky news feature, only one person in ICU had shown signs of recovery. The rest it seems are just dying.
Saw that as well, what I am shocked at is how many footballers got this. As a percentage of population it must be massive.Gordaleman wrote: ↑Sat Mar 21, 2020 6:36 pmFour Portsmouth players have apparently tested positive for Covid 19, with ten more tests awaited.
Seems to be a lot of private testing going on.
Talking to italian claret in milan hes allowed to work...milan is a ghost city.

Sad sad times.
I was hoping the numbers of positive cases would drop today but that didn’t happen either.

As Italy has a higher rate of smoking, especially in the younger people I wonder if that's caught up with them in later life?CrosspoolClarets wrote: ↑Sat Mar 21, 2020 7:03 pmItaly is in a worse place than China because the Chinese flooded over to Tuscany’s clothing manufacturers in January from the affected region at about the same time as the Chinese government were covering the whole thing up. Huge numbers of migrants work in that field apparently. Once Italy twigged it was too late to stop this surge. That’s why I expect UK deaths to be far below Italy ones.
The finger pointing about this will come, no doubt about it, but saving life is the current priority.
The early cases were in small towns where the whole family lives in one house, from baby to grandma, many families live next to each other, add the fact that Italians hug and kiss each other every time they meet, it's thought that this led to many people catching the virus early then passing it to others and on and on.
We've had almost three times the number of deaths to Germany. Regardless of how many we are testing why are more Brits passing away if we are currently able to provide anyone who needs a ventilator with one?Dy1geo wrote: ↑Sat Mar 21, 2020 8:11 pmIn the I newspaper yesterday a German scientist gave the explanation as to why their deaths to confirmed cases are so low and he said it’s because they test a wide range of people from those only showing mild symptoms to those that are very ill. If you have a look on that Worldometer site, Germany has only 83 deaths to around 22000 cases. The positive point about this is that the overall death rate will probably be under 1% of cases. (Yes they have more Intensive Care Beds and Ventilators but we have still not reached capacity) Given we have over 200 deaths there will be around 60000 cases in the U.K. if not more and explains why so many celebrities/footballers are getting diagnosed as they have the “luxury” of jumping the queue using up a valuable test that a nurse could be having.
If we use the German model it may be the case that if the death rate is to be below 1% the restrictions may get lifted sooner as long as the NHS can cope.
Might be as simple as "they can afford to have the tests done privately". We don't know what the score would be if everyone was tested.Spijed wrote: ↑Sat Mar 21, 2020 6:54 pmhttps://talksport.com/football/efl/6852 ... -pandemic/

You're right. There's no excuse for them or for business owners who try and find every trick to avoid the issue. Both my and my other half's employers (one private sector, one public) are guilty of that. Mine has wriggled its way into "key worker" status when it isn't, the other half's is doing everything it can to avoid people working from home.tiger76 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 21, 2020 11:35 pmNo chance of restrictions being lifted quickly with these numpties https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-51988877

Are people brain dead in this country or what
Thankfully many people are following the advice to socially distance,but not everyone,and it's the small minority that is the problem.
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-51990809
And it's this group that will lead to stricter rules being brought in by the government if deemed necessary.
It's very simple if people heed the advice,and the number of cases,and fatalities falls sharply in the coming weeks,then there's much more chance of restrictions being eased,but if the British public insist on behaving as stupidly as some currently are,then they'll suffer further limits on theirs,and our freedoms.
I really thought that the hard-hitting messages,from both Boris Johnson and Nicola Sturgeon,would have got through to the public,i can't comment directly on Northern Ireland or Wales,but i imagine the tone from their political leaders was the same,and yet for whatever reason this is flying right over people's heads.
SERIOUSLY! people you need to wise up,this virus can be com-batted,but it'll take the efforts of the whole country to limit it's impact,now if that involves small sacrifices for a short period,so be it,surely if it ultimately saves lives,that's what matters.
