According to my partner, someone in Gateshead Costco thinks their essential shopping includes a fucking canoe. The human race is doomed.

Possibly just gossip but apparently a security guard from new Cross has died through covid-19. In his 30s,no underlying health issues

That was from my sister who works there

Haven't heard anything from my nephew re this and I was talking to his father (my brother this afternoon). He was saying they are talking of rotating Drs as some are at a constant risk of catching the virus depending on what their discipline is.

As I have been furloughed and Squeeze is doing her bit I am going to apply for the NHS volunteer idea tomorrow. I have a car. I have no symptoms. I can deliver medicines and food to those who have been shielded. It seems the least I can try to do.

Lol 3 weeks.

We are planning to WFH til mid May and the UK is about a week behind us in everything so most likely going to be the same

When I left work I was saying seeing you in August, hopefully.

My drive to work and back seemed to be almost as normal (for school holidays) and the car parks on our industrial estate were full. Spent the morning waiting for some sort of announcement to tell us what was going on...I was getting grumpier by the minute. Eventually at about 10 am production manager went round telling everyone we had an order come in making bits for ventilators, so thats me in work for at least 9 days

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Important stuff. That's actually great news.

It is, we're well up for it, just hope we can keep enough people healthy to fulfill it, as with most manufacturing our manning levels are pared to the bone, plus we have quite an aging workforce, still we'll be giving it our best

Good on you. Was thinking to do the similar over here. I've got a van standing doing nothing.
I hope I will qualify for the self employed payment here though I must admit. Not sure I'm going to get it, all the 'events' whete I trade wont happen, but my website is still running (although I sell hardly anything online these days tbh)

University of Oxford reckon 50% of people in the UK have already been infected. Sounds absolutely wrong but if it's true it changes everything and those Oxford lot are known for being fairly bright

Changes everything in what way, I wonder?

It means we're not far away from the peak and the amount of people left to infect becomes less than the immune so transmission rates start to drop

It kinda means it could all be over a lot quicker than anyone thought.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Looks to me that the volunteer thing is about a 72 hour approval period and then you can be able to help. Even if you don't have transport you can apply. They need people for things like manning phone lines, although how that will work is less clear as the idea is somewhat embryonic. Just putting it out there

looks like the site for applying is

www.goodsamapp.org

I have no fucking clue how to post that as a fucking link without destroying the fucking internet forever. EDIT: Hallelujah - the link works and no internet services have been damaged!

There's been some talk stateside that we actually had our peak back in December... But it's taken with the biggest grain of salt possible.
