You're welcome but I don't feel like I'm actually doing anything at the moment! The waiting is....tricky.
General Coronavirus (COVID-19) chat
- Thread starter phillm
- Start date
I was dealing with this last week - be prepared for delays in getting hold of parts.

I wonder if our attitude to people who are ill with colds/flu will permanently change after this is over. I think we might have higher expectations that people who have developed a cough at work or return too soon after they've had flu should stay at home until they're fully recovered.

Self-Isolating before it was fashionable
Plenty of people with, shall we say, refined accents, in the shop asking where everything is as “we don’t know the area” clearly visiting the slums on their way to their static caravans and holiday cottages. Hope they only need food and bog rolls because they providently filled their Audi’s up with spare ventilators before leaving home 
Daughter has woke up this morning feeling ill with a sore throat.
Turns out she was feeling bad before she arrived from her mothers last Friday but her mother didn’t say anything about it.
Daughters mother has now said she doesn’t want my daughter back with her till she’s well again and doesn’t want our son (who lives with me and gf) to visit her until daughter is better.

Not that I am aware of. I am conscious of having to get home after dropping the car off and getting back there to pick it up again.

Yep, she’s a sly one.
But, I’m happy for the kids to be with me and the gf, no matter what the circumstances.
Fellow at work got forwarded a video by David Icke. He thought he was a nutter but he's "really talking sense about Coronavirus and international corporations". He made me watch the video as well. I won't bother reviewing it, except to say it was the usual highly dodgy global conspiracy stuff slightly (not even that slightly) sanitised for mass consumption. My colleague's fairly sort of middle of the road common sensical sort and I think I persuaded him that it was bollocks.
Just mention this because shows how the general situations amplified by the mixed messages from government are a fertile breeding ground for another type of virus.

Just seen the local teenagers walking around with gloves and masks on. Wondered if they are just taking sensible precautions and the message is getting through or if they have become a fashion thing.

No point replenishing stock if you're going to close all your stores down.
There is only A/W 2019-20 stock being finished off anyhow.
Goods in are still working with the S/S 20 stock being stored.
As Wolfson said last week, people don’t buy new outfits to stay at home.
They expect a billion pound hit anyhoo!

Under fire MSP defends decision to keep office open but says he'll follow advice
Anyone who has heard of this prick knows he’s a silly fucker anyway, but he’s putting other people at risk here. It’s not about him being “brave”. It’s about the infection he could spread.

He wasnt on at 5 today, in a COBRA meeting that only started at that time, then will address the nation later.
Local drug service have done a thing of safety tips for using street drugs now that supply issues are likely to start affecting purity. There's one up in reception where I live. Had to do a (suitably disinfected and ppe'd up first, obvs) facepalm just now at the bit about never using on your own.

He's in a Cobra meeting. You didn't miss much. Said he might comment later, presumably to announce a lockdown.
David Icke is vanilla compared to some of the other conspiraloons.

I made a thread for this kind of s stuff, we can quarantine it away from the more sane and sensible stuff.
Let's have a thread for C-19 conspiracy nonsense bollocks and outright lies!
Last Thursday I got a worried phone call from someone I barely know asking me about the riots in Brixton and Peckham. She said she'd seen the footage on WhatsApp. I was stood on quiet peaceful Brixton high street when she called and she wouldn't believe me as I kept repeating "There are no...

I spoke with a junior hospital doctor today, who is currently off work on paternity leave due a new baby. He’s in theory back to work in early May, but anticipating that he might be called in earlier to deal with covid cases.
He said he’s been participating in a Coronavirus discussion group on one of his doctor only chat groups and there is much theorising over the effect of viral load on the severity of the disease. This is the amount of virus you’re first exposed to at the time you are infected. The theory is apparently that a high viral load leads to a more severe illness and that info emerging from Italy suggests this may be why many otherwise healthy, young healthcare workers have been developing serious cases. As an example of a high viral load, he cited if someone in your family gets ill with covid and you’re quarantined together with them, as opposed to catching the virus in a more fleeting encounter such as from an adjacent passenger on a bus journey.
Since most people who become ill with this will have family members living with them who then catch it, it doesn’t bode well that this might be a factor in how those family members fare with the disease.
I know all of the above is effectively hearsay based on my understanding of what he explained to me, and I cannot back it up with a documented source as it was just a conversation, but unless a doctor who is married to my wife’s best friend has a reason to lie to me, I am going to accept it.

Korn's Surgical Masks Sell Out Amid Coronavirus Fears | The Quietus
A line of branded surgical masks on Korn’s online merchandise store sold out over the weekend amid continuing fears over the outbreak of the novel coronavirus, AKA COVID-19. The items had been on sale since last year via the band’s online store at a price of $11, but are now no longer available...

Surely the initial dose you receive isn't relevant, but how effectively your immune system suppresses viral reproduction once it has infected your cells? In theory you could catch a virus with one virion, and end up with a huge viral load.
