Thankfully it’s Friday here, hasn’t always been the easiest keep my mind on work. Kinda getting over this constant cleaning and using hand sanitiser 100 times a day.
Those of you in Europe and Asia hope you can keep hanging in there.
I’m hopeful here in NZ we don’t ‘catch up’ to the rest of the world, hoping no drastic action is needed.
Keep your chins up, keep drinking tea or anything harder if required... oh and I’ve heard crumpets are great in times like this too..Cheers Virg. The worst part is not knowing when the worst part is going to be.
Boris mentioned 12 weeks a few times tonight.
He was pressed to elaborate and looked stumped. There's still a lot of "let's hope all you people are sensible and take advice and we should be OK..." absolutely convinced they are now just going for hopes of herd immunity whether we like it or not.
Positive note, the "pregnancy test but with blood" sounds promising. He has a way with words old Boris, I'm almost warming to him now. -
Have to say Ive been impressed with Boris, Scomo, Trump and Ardern. Hell of a time to be a leader. You are staring down the barrel of deaths in the 6-7 figure range in countries where hardship for the most part up to now meant someone ruining the next GOT episode.
-
@R-L thinking just to encourage people to follow govt advice and give an endpoint...which I'm sure will be revised in around 10 weeks...

Some of the innovative thinking is impressive. ASDA are working with places like sandwich shops and restaurants to set up pop-up supermarkets and airline logistics staff are working with the NHS supply chain.
You'll be glad to know my taste card isn't worthless. They've updated things to be all about delivery! Jolly good.

Hopefully before then they will find a drug that helps reduce the severity of the disease and reduces the mortality threat. I'd expect that before a vaccine. Hydroquinone is the front runner right now. The world is desperate for a win against this corona fucker right now
-
@R-L yeah it’s time to listen the government in my view. Enjoyed this today. I’ve been a fan of Piers since landing back here but his carry on over Markle and now this is extremely off putting.

@Virgil What do you put on those crumpets?
Butter and golden syrup is beautiful
I'm now getting homesick for that waxy white honey I grew up with.
Can get that on Big Island Hawaii. -
There are a few prize pricks in the media commenting on the crisis. Morgan is winning the contest hands down.
To balance that, some of the other media folks like Kuensberg & Beth Rigby have been really good, Raising issues and asking probing questions without engaging in point-scoring.

@canefan Tomato sauce It was a thing as a kid sunday evening watch Disneyland eat crumpets with tomato sauce.
Only years later did I find out that apparently most people find tom sce on crumpets weird.
Cheese and Mayo on crumpets was my staple growing up. Grilled until golden.

There would be lots of infections, and some under 70s would go to hospital, but such as I understand the stats the hospital system would cope. And economic impact would be fairly subdued.
Or are we in completely different place?

Are you quarantining their under 70s carers and nurses with them?

Procedures to ensure contact is minimal in this scenario. Let's say quarantined carers working fortnightly rosters, etc..

Don't like to agree with you often but 👏🏻
What's with the crumpets with toppings people. NO.
Butter ONLY.
just a little polite reminder guys... This is a serious thread.. Keep on topic 😉 -
@R-L nah, butter and honey or failing that, golden syrup.
Question time would be interesting tonight if it wasn't full of entitled people demanding others and/or the government do stuff for them.

We will upset @R-L if we keep going off topic..
But yes clover honey was the pale looking one
