this one isnt too bad
No idea - and Amazon aren’t providing us with anything, like hand sanitizer - they’ve told us we can use face/surgical masks if we wish - again, not provided by Amazon.
At the debrief this morning I asked Amazon if they were going to reduce the size of the routes as they are supposed to be 9hrs but usually take longer as they are so heavy - and these new procedures they want us to apply will increase drop time - I was met with a blank stare and a mumble before Amazon bod moved onto something else.

No problem...can you summarise what's 'wrong' with the info?
The stuff about symptoms is wrong (as we will see when the government ramp up the campaign to stay at home when ill).
The stuff about 26-27C is wrong.
The stuff about drinking and gargling is pretty useless (except that you should typically drink plenty of liquids when ill)
The description of how the pneumonia happens is wrong.
The nasal congestion thing is just weird rubbish.
Frankly, so much is wrong that anything in there that might be right is tainted and should be discovered via sources that arent so crappy. So much is wrong with this one that its just like one of those rubbish chain things that people just make up to see it spread.

Appreciated.
I just don't know how people find the time or motivation to bother being so fucking crap!
Thanks again.

More really frightening stuff from Italian hospitals where staff are having to make decisions about who gets intensive care and who doesn’t. Message is that to avoid these horrific choices having to be made in a couple of weeks we have to make the awkward but less morally difficult one of enforcing distancing now.
instead, some football team from Milan and their fans who can’t play at home are coming to liverpool ?

The Extraordinary Decisions Facing Italian Doctors
There are now simply too many patients for each one of them to receive adequate care.

Every bit of advice coming out of Italy i've seen suggests shut downs, social distancing etc as a matter of precaution/prevention NOT as a response to the expected dramatic increase of infections.

Atletico Madrid is the team playing Liverpool tonight. Point still stands though.

That is all very well - but I suspect Italy had more cases than we have now before they even started testing for it, so I am not sure I would take Italian advice too strongly.

Yep but Gov not doing that so far, they are still telling everyone to carry on as normal unless they are ill in which case phone 111.
we are estimated to be 13 days behind Italy and not taking any drastic measures at all just buying loo roll.

I mean what do they know anyway?
We have no clue how many cases we have here. Even the lying, prevaricating government are saying they expect it to get much worse etc.
They have more ICU beds and are at breaking point, practically making choices who to save?
But what did the Romans ever do for us?
Let's take it on the chin.

So far we have relied on the airlines stopping flights for commercial reasons to restrict incoming individuals from infected areas, there has been slim to no advice from government on that matter, and we still have mass events like Cheltenham going ahead with tens of thousands in close proximity.
It almost seems government will accept mass UK infections before they take further action, rather than moving to stamp it out at an earlier stage while infections are still low.

I know people most at risk are old people with underlying health problems, but what percentage of deaths are not old people with underlying health problems?

What I am saying is what about acting now, before we get into that state?
