Corona virus Europe

[dave the builder]

Everyone working key jobs with people, where contact is likely or contamination from covid 19 is likely  ...
NHS, care workers,cleaners ,shop staff,chemists, and TEACHERS etc etc should have PPE
the fact that there is a shortage of PPE should not exclude people deserving it's protection
why should a teacher risk death to do their job 

SWMBO works at ASDA on the tills & isn't allowed to wear a mask. They have access to some gloves though I provided her with some to start with.

My work has a reasonable supply of PPE but only get a mask if it's a 2 man task that requires close proximity working

trouble is you can't sue your former employer for not providing PPE when your dead

Got a mate who works for Wilkos, he walked out about 10 days ago when they said he couldn't wear a mask. They rang him yesterday and asked him to come back. He could wear a mask but he'd have to bring it with him.

I guess all the other staff are off sick with coughs 
it's a disgrace not letting people wear masks if they want too
and should be supplied by your employer if you request it

Don't worry, they have a perfectly good life insurance policy on all their employees so that they aren't left out of pocket when you succumb to Batflu

After two night in intensive care, it seems he is responding well to treatment.

Another 781 deaths in hospital in the UK today. Doesn't seem to be dropping at all.

[dave the builder]

20,319 deaths in the Uk so far by worldometers figures (which is not a true reflection ),
I think we can say double that figure if you include death elsewhere (outside hospital) so 40,000
March 5 2020 UK cases reached 90, as the first patient died in the UK
so 7 weeks 2 days later
follow the same curve down by mirroring (which is optimistic  )
by mid June that would put 40,638 deaths if we are "lucky" 
realistically 80,000 true (in and out of hospital deaths)

Been upped to 813.

Yet it seems that lockdown fatigue has well and truly set in, which is exactly what they said would happen and is why they held off with the lockdown until the hysteria became deafening.

Just been reading about New York City. People are trying to stick to the lockdown but things are getting pretty tense. When you look at the figures there, they are truly frightening and people are getting very tetchy (and very skint). We are a social race and this is not natural. Of course, there are those who are less capable of coping than others. If I was old (shut up, Opti) and living alone, I think I might have given up by now. If I was very young and living on my own, I think I would probably just go out.

Loads of unrest in Europe but we're not being told anything about it by BBC Sky etc

Indeed.  The French as usual are protesting again in yellow vests:

No need for TB's cull. This virus is nature weeding out the old and infirm. I will miss you though.

I loathe the French.  They are the laziest, over entitled, ignorant nation of communists in Europe.  THey are a complete waste of fresh air and skin 

Couldn't agree more.

Fixed.

You quite like their cars, though.
