My gym's concession to coronavirus is to make us sign a sheet instead of using thumbprints to get in before manhandling a bunch of sweaty equipment.Guavanaut posted:Tesco trip report: No TP, no pasta, no cooking oil, no bleach. But they did have frozen mushrooms! hemale in pain posted:why do we want to avoid a second wave? it seems like a good thing to have people infected now and then some infected later rather than EVERYONE getting infected at the same time.  PS who the hell says beef is strictly savoury: maple glazed brisket is good, the sauces & pickles on a burger are nicely sweet, sweet onions are the best onions, and there's places near me that do donut burgers & waffle burgers that are far more delicious than they have any reasonable business being. Finding a good bun is the hardest part of getting your burg on at home though. Honestly bagels are probably the best shout from average corner supermarkets.

Just went to Rochester, high street seemed normal if relatively quiet, but then there was an older woman who'd collapsed in the doorway of a Holland and Barrett and an ambulance zoomed up and took her away. In all likelihood just a fall, but my anxiety levels shot through the roof and we came straight home. The guy in the vape shop was bug-eyed and talking about his cousin in the SAS (lol) who told him we're getting locked down in 3 days and not to drink tap water. I'm not usually a particularly anxious person but gently caress, I think I gotta take a break from reading/listening to the news.

I dropped by Tesco to pick up a few things on the way home from visiting a friend and it appears the panic buying is in full apocalypse mode now.

Jose posted:Why not buy a cheaper cut more traditionally used for burgers than ribeye? Because after trying every cut, well picked marbled ribeye gives the best consistent results for the least effort (don't have to worry about ratios or buying multiple things and asda sells 3 ribeye steaks for £10) since I made burgers for 2 burgers each for 5 people last night that were as good as anything I can get out at a restaurant where a single burger would be £8 it ends up nearly 8x cheaper which honestly is good enough for me.

I was telling my assistant at the start of the week that there was going to be a tipping point where everyone switched from complacency to panic and he should think about stocking up on the basics before the shelves got cleared. He politely agreed with me while not quite rolling his eyes lol. I didn't think the tipping point would arrive quite this quickly though!

It's an anti inflammatory so probably not the ideal thing for actually helping with your temperature, I think the general advice is to take both ibuprofen and paracetamol as they work in different ways.

Jedit posted:I'm 45, immunocompromised and am so far as I know still the world record holder for most severe loss of lung capacity in a self-admitted patient. This should make you feel better. Not really, now I'm worried about you too! Seriously though thanks, for this and the subsequent conversation around it. I went to the park and zigzagged around to keep my distance from people (tbh I'd do this anyway), and now I feel a lot better so I guess I recommend that to anyone getting cabin fever. XMNN posted:I sort of want to believe that if it gets really bad (to the point where no one over 40 gets into an ICU and they're having to dig mass graves or what have you) and it is noticeably worse here than other places, that even the British public won't be able to forgive and forget I'm not a behavioural scientist but I'd imagine that if it is noticeably worse here than elsewhere because the government did nothing they will be literally dragged out of power. I don't think people are really equipped to face down a six figure death toll and just carry on playing candy crush on the tube. I know I'm certainly not.

I'd say basically nil at the moment, but given the talk about herd immunity I wouldn't be surprised if the next stage of our containment plan involves everyone with a fever reporting to the local waterworks for gargling duty.

Afaik it's fine and drops fevers too Paracetamol is better for fevers but I find ibus are better at making you feel better. Last night I got a real bad fever and the shakes but took some branded neurofen (I usually get generic) and night nurse (has that delicious dxm in it) and that handled the situation very nicely.

Nah the press would have spent all of Christmas and January getting people whipped up in fear about Stalinist lockdowns and purges from the Red Guard and suddenly there's actually a need to close things down and obey the government? The disobedience and racist violence would be massive, old people holding public handshaking rallies to show they aren't afraid, it would absolutely be worse and then Labour is blamed for the NHS collapsing. Communist Thoughts posted:So far labour aren't saying poo poo.

Corbyn is actually doing all right on it, it's just he's been completely ignored since the election and the leadership candidates are being crap on it so there's almost no air time to Labour in general.

hemale in pain posted:why do we want to avoid a second wave? it seems like a good thing to have people infected now and then some infected later rather than EVERYONE getting infected at the same time. The reason given is that if the first wave peaks when predicted, the second wave will arrive in winter, when the NHS is least able to cope. The second wave of the Spanish flu was also much more deadly than the first, although I've not seen any evidence either way to suggest whether there's reason to think the same will be true with COVID-19.

Angrymog posted:Could they hire a car and drive back, or are road borders shut too? Assuming they want to come back atm. Unclear to me what exactly "border controls" means but if they want to leave they might want to do it pretty sharpish. Flights from the country were already being cancelled yesterday. Also bear in mind that countries between Poland and the UK might also start putting up border controls or closing their borders to non-residents, so even if they can leave Poland they might not be able to make it home. e: Melissa McCarthyism posted:They've since made their way to the airport, queued for 2 and half hrs and spoke to Ryanair reps.

The Electoral Commission called for the local elections scheduled for 7 May to be postponed, and we welcome the government's agreement to do this. Instead of canvassing and campaigning, I would like Labour members to get involved in supporting vulnerable people in our communities – ensuring this is done safely and on the basis of public health advice... Please speak to your friends and family about what you can do, and look online and social media for organisations already organising volunteer groups. ... we are asking the government to publish its scientific modelling and explain transparently the conclusions it has drawn. ... We also believe the government must take more comprehensive steps to ensure insecure, self-employed and unprotected workers are not forced to choose between health and hardship, and are able to take time off work and self-isolate if necessary, in the interests of us all.'
