Just looked on BBC website this morning and viewed the progress on this field hospital built in just 9 days.
Truly stunning achievement and when you look at the facilities each compartment has it is truly worldclass,and puts other countries to shame.Hope none of us will require its services but am certain if needed you would get the best possible care .
Very proud of what has been done and hope that it saves many lives in the coming weeks.

Yes a few weeks ago we were all wondering and marvelling at the Chinese building a hospital from scratch in 2 weeks and many were saying it could never be done here. :-X
Granted they didn't have to construct a building to put the hospital in, but I'd bet my mortgages that the facilities at the Nightingale are far superior to it's Chinese counterpart. Also it's the first of a chain, with plans for Nightingales at Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol, Harrogate and Exeter. :y
-
Indeed a great achievement and to be repeated 8) 8) :y :y :y
Just hope they can find all the staff required :)
What with Brexit and now the virus challenges, the Brits are putting the GREAT in Britain again with industry the public, and especially the health workers all pulling together to win this war, just as during WW2. Just proves we do still have it! :-* :-* :-* :y :y :y
-
Just like to meet the retards that slash ambulance tyres and start fake news about the hospital wanting pictures for the wall sent in as if they didnt have enough to do.

The 8PM clap now includes supermarket workers who are at the 'coalface' despite being paid a piss poor wage.

Another 684 dead, those beds are going to be busy in the coming days without a doubt, total deaths now 3605 probably a few included now who went to the countryside/coast thinking of it as a bank holiday a couple of weekends ago & it will never happen to them. Stay Safe everyone & stay home.

I believe that's one of the fears for this weekend given the good forecast,that people will be tempted to break the lockdown for a nice day out.

I think what these idiots dont seem to appreciate..."This Can Potentially Kill You".
Just follow the guide line...Best advise is stay put and entertain yourselves as best as possible...atleast give the NHS fighting chance

Of course it's not too hard for me. In fact, I can see right through you.

I have elderly neighbours round me and one couple in their 90's haven't left their place for about a month now. I've been doing their shopping for them and offered to do the couple next doors as well, as they're in their 80's, and got a polite but curt "No thank you" (We don't get on.). They go out somewhere every day. ::)
I might have new neighbours soon.... :-X

All of our neighbours have rallied round to help everyone down our street we have all ages from around 40 to 90 , we have all just played a general knowledge quiz on Zoom next one on Wednesday , keeps us all in contact in this very strange time.

Our road used to be really quiet but now there's no end of people traipsing though during the day, and every few days all the whooping and hollering scares the crap out of the dog...
Fluey cold has subsided, but currently can't walk due to a bout of TB's favourite ailment... Goat*
Not normally a particularly sociable person, so not all bad, but nearly two weeks in bed is starting to piss me off.
*Gout, but always been Goat since a Portuguese colleague completely mispronounced it... Confuses the hell out of the receptionist at the Quacks... ;D
-
The old boy next door still goes out periodically. Normally you never see his family... They live in the next village and always used to take 3-4 hours to turn up if he locked himself out. Again.
Either his house is bugged or his car is... Phone always rings the instant he drives off. :o
Their response time is down to ten minutes, which is really funny as it takes him 9 minutes to get to Sainsbugs and back... His house phone was ringing the entire time he was out when he popped out yesterday evening and they pulled up just as he closed the door. ;D
-
A lot more dog walkers round our way all observing the two metres rule when passing each other lot of these "trendy" cockapoos especially. Have not seen some of the owners before probably too busy working normally.
-
On my brief forays out into the infectious beyond, there seems to be a lot more lycra louts about on their velocipedes as well. ::)
-
It hasn't made a blind bit of difference to me, I'm doing what I always did, walking the dog and and shopping. I've never felt the need to get closer than two metres anyway. In fact, I'd go as far as to say, apart from the obvious, I'm enjoying it. ;D

I usually jog to the beach on a Saturday morning rain or shine. It's about 5km round trip.
Today I'm going to see how long it takes to do 5k in my garden. I can do 15 strides at jogging pace end to end.

Its kept my lot busy and out of mischief for a few thankful days. You can imagine young idle hands and silly pranks that are now becoming tedious ;D

Don't know about the rest of the country, but folk around here seem to have behaved very well. Went for a walk up Grimethorpe muckstack (Sounds nice, don't it) earlier, and saw two people with dogs. Very little traffic too.
Unlike Australia where, apparently, the beaches in certain areas were very busy.
-
Talking about dogs, I can see no other option than to get the hair clippers out soon. :o

Yes, talking about dogs; they are far more numerous in the field of a park next to our homes than humans.
Looks like some owners are just releasing them for their walks! ;D ;D ;)

A fantastic way to ensure the spread the cull virus
cough all over your dog ,rub it all in by stroking it and let it free to roam/spread to others :y
we'll have this over- population problem licked in no time :)
any other helpful tips ;D :D

Just got in from our dog walk hardly anyone around, took a different route home past our local recreation field no kids about just another couple walking their dog, all the playground equipment was locked off almost a fortnight ago. Just hope Hunstanton & Skegness was as quiet that's where most folk from this area tend to go if the weather is good.

Many years ago, Phil. The lad went with school a while back too. Scary when you go down and see the working conditions, I would recommend a visit to anyone who is in the area.

This is Grimethorpe Muckstack from the air, although this pic is a bit old, it's much greener now. Grimethorpe nature reserve is a bit ambitious though.

Top centre is a brick works which is reclaiming all the old slack to make bricks. Bottom centre is ASOS and, if you look carefully, you can see the shadows of three giant wind turbines. They make an eerie noise as the blades whoosh past.

Apparently along with another 3 already being readied around the country the army are on standby to get a further 5 ready to go and it was said we could finish up with at least 17 such places.

Lets all pray they dont end up filling that lot then

Any particular God? Or will any God do?
I am feeling particularly miserable today. I have no reason to. Except that I worry about my daughter who has 4x11 hour shifts over the weekend at Salford Hospital.
Assuming for survivors I suspect that PTSD is a strong possible side effect for both patients and staff.
-
Any God that is listening ...my eldest daughter is an A@E Sister at our local major hospital and has worked 2 shifts already this week Monday and Wednesday both 13 hours...she is doing tomorrow 11.00am to midnight and same on Sunday.
Real mixed feelings here for her...so very proud but also scared silly if I sit and dwell on it for too long as she has is married with a 5 year old boy.
-
My daughter too has been in the thick of COVID-19. She's a nurse that normally works on the ICU but is also 'donning & doffing' all the COVID ppe to treat COVID patients
-
Total respect for them

PTSD is probably a more likely result if they all died...
Besides, being married and a mum doesn't preclude her from working ???

Indeed, they are doing a fantastic job and putting themselves daily in the line of fire as much as any soldier does in a war, which this is. ;)
I support the idea that when this is all over they should be awarded a campaign medal as any soldier fighting for the country would 8) 8) 8)

Absolutely right Lizzie, unfortunately lots of good people lost to this awful virus , cannot begin to imagine how some families are feeling right now .

I was chatting to a friend this afternoon and she told me that a friend of her's, who was fit, healthy and in her early 50's caught it and died. :(
It's suddenly become a little more real... :-\
-
Indeed , a horrific time
unfortunately ,and I hope i'm wrong , but I suspect we will all know of someone who has had the virus and died before 2021 :(
stay safe out IN* there

People have to eat , i've been shopping for 6 oldies/at risk , ques have been a PITA
it's good that some supermarkets are lifting most restrictions on quantity
if people can get a weeks worth or more ,then they can limit shopping trips to once a week :)
i see toilet rolls are finally back on the menu 8)
i see the rozzers have done a U turn on checking trolleys for NON essential goods
i think that's fair ,seen as you can have what you like delivered from ebay,amazon etc
nothing wrong with buying a new TV while your at the supermarket buying bog roll, pasta ,eggs hand sanitizer

and SWMBO served a woman today that had 10 cases of beer, bottles of vodka & a load of party type food ...... some people are too stupid.
We should have/need a tighter lockdown .... too many people out & about for no proper reason.
-
'Essential shopping' is a load of old bollix, as has been confirmed by lots of sensible people in the media. If a shop is open, as in allowed to remain open, then people are allowed to shop there. Bicycle anyone?

And as for the chief constable of Notts, the prick should resign.

The police asked for greater powers, as the law as it stands is open to interpretation, but Shitty Priti said no.
Here is the law on going out:

Everyone at Asda this morning behaved impeccably. A proper British queue. ;D
-
From the bbc news site just now:
Downing Street says people can buy whatever they want from shops that remain open amid concerns some police are overstepping lockdown powers.
There have been cases of police warning shoppers against buying "non-essential" items.
No 10 also said people can use their gardens as they wish, after a video showed police confronting a family for letting their children play outside.

had a drunk at a Tesco local being a right Dick >:(
touching everything,stopping people ,talking crap ,getting close to people (who tried there best to stay clear)
security who marshals people in did nothing ::)
told the woman at the till to get the manager and security as he "needed to be got rid of... putting everyone in danger"
she rang the buzzer and a manager appeared
I left, I could have stopped and helped ,but if i get it ,i could kill 6 of my family ::)

When I was at one of the larger Tesco's near me in the week, we were all queuing up all British like (as in Uncle STEMO's photo) and when I got to the front a bloke came out with a laden trolley and stopped dead with a stricken look on his face. He turned to the Tesco staff/marshall's and said that he had forgotten something and could he nip back in. The girls said no he'd have to queue up again and so off he went grumbling to himself and looking a bit pissed off. ::)
I thought that the Tesco staff have been policing the queues outside and the one way system inside with some relish! Give a man a clipboard and all that.... But then they were treated like shit by many during the panic buy period, so can't blame them really. :y

Me and my wife are taking a trolley each separately around Waitrose once a week. You'd watch us both go to the same cat and think we were crafty idiots too?
Well, her list is everything her parents want, and my list is everything we need.
Probably the person returning is doing someone else's shopping. Going to .waitrose instead of Aldi, because wife's parents have very fussy wants that only Waitrose can offer, and Aldi is 5 miles and Waitrose 1, so that would be an unnecessary journey according to my wife. Costing twice what it normally does.

We have everything delivered now , our meat delivery turned up on pushbike yesterday , our baker & butcher have teamed up together it's brilliant might cost a few quid more but no picking up unnecessary items in the supermarket, fruit & veg delivered too + milk & tinned items. SWMBO has enough cleaning materials in one of the sheds to clean the whole town if required.

Me and my wife are taking a trolley each separately around Waitrose once a week. You'd watch us both go to the same CAR and think we were crafty idiots too?
Not at all . I have to get shopping for several vulnerable family members ,
which, due to limitations/restrictions on quantity means several trips to different shops ,
queuing with lepers ,stupid people and tramps ;D
and yes , i've found the oldies want specific brands etc ,even though there's a war on ;D
I did use a local farm shop for meat and potatoes before ,now it's swamped with people,low stock
some people doing veg box deliveries to make cash (which in these times I understand ,and it's a good idea)
now supermarkets have re-stocked ,a return to 24 hour opening would help ,
plus extra jobs , less queuing would reduce risk of infection :-\

Yes I've found this as well with the oldies I've been shopping for. ::) ;D

The oldie I shop for is very unfussy. She is just grateful to have a handsome young man running around after her. :)
