Angrymog posted:Looks like they blocked in an alleyway to build that. lol estate agents are the worst for poo poo like that. I once viewed a house that had a window on the stairs, and absolutely loving miles away behind a load of grim grey buildings was a tiny bit of the sea. The woman described it as a sea view and said if she lived here she'd just stand there all day... looking out the window halfway up the stairs

mehall posted:I'm hearing the available anaesthesiologist had not been fitted for PPE. My workplace has suspended mask fit testing because they were burning through all our masks. Maybe I'm being a little harsh on the anaesthetist, there are times when you have to worry about your own health first. But refusing to start a life-saving treatment because the patient might have Covid-19 and your PPE might not be 100% effective is taking things a bit far in my opinion. You can't expect to eliminate all risk to yourself during an epidemic.

Finite number of drivers I guess, and trucks  Conceivably if they can get the trucks they could have more of the pickers do driving and retask some of the shop floor staff to be pickers but that's still gonna be hard.

My mother lives 8 miles from the nearest supermarket in the middle of nowhere with no mobile phone signal. I don't envy anyone trying to force her to stop home - she is very wilful. If you tell her she can't do something, oh she will, she surely will, do it.

I've sort of been assuming that self isolation can include going out to buy food if it's a choice of that or starving, but I'm also glad that I do have a small stock of stuff in to eat if necessary. Nowhere near enough to last the full two weeks, but it's something. I'm going to pick up some cans if I can tomorrow, but who knows what the shops will look like. After all, it's not like forcing an online delivery driver to come into your infested house to deliver your groceries is exactly a better option than going out. You still run a significant risk of passing on the disease to people who have a bit of contact with a LOT of people.

See how keen he is to evict you then I had always planned to move out of the city then so would need to give a month's notice at the start of April. I'm now very uncertain what to do because if London is sealed in April I'm kinda hosed.

It's been really good for my mental health but yeah, lol, what a time to indulge. absolute same I checked out from the election until late last month, on the basis that I couldn't do anything about the news so why worry, and it is amazing how little news filters through if you're semi actively avoiding it. I heard about the Corona virus in January cos I was visiting a friend, and then a bit more after that as it was a semi-local news story, but the people in my office were far more likely to be talking about love island than the news so I was completely unaware of e.g. trimp almost starting a war with iran* I think I'm definitely in a much better place than I was, mentally, so I don't regret it at all, but slowly getting back up to speed with a couple of months of current events is a weird and fairly interesting experience e: *tbf to them, they might have been discussing it occasionally but I've taken to wearing earphones full time in the office because love island is the most banal trash imaginable and I could feel my brain starting to drip out of my ears whenever someone went "OMG DID YPU SEE WHAT LIAM SAID TO KAREN LAST NIGHT THEYRE SO CUUUTE" thank gently caress it's over XMNN fucked around with this message at 19:12 on Mar 15, 2020 |

You never know, someone might be willing to do a deal with you? I'm just wondering whether to cancel an airbnb booked for Cambridge in June in the next couple of weeks. We paid half already.

XMNN posted:absolute same It's one of those really difficult things for me. Because it's fairly easy to choose to be ignorant - but by choosing to be ignorant, aren't you risking becoming part of the problem. It's voluntary ignorance that got us where we are, after all. It's an impulse I can fully understand though. My desire to remain informed is routinely at odds with my desire to remain sane.

Speaking of renter woes, there's going to be serious issues in the next two months of people being unable to pay rent due to their workplaces being shut or they are isolating themselves. Capital doesn't give a gently caress about creating more homeless people at a moment of crisis and this will be no exception even if it's delayed a tiny bit. ACORN has a petition going to try and get some measures in place to protect them and you all should sign it. http://chng.it/pkwc8vL4h9

Nowhere near enough to last the full two weeks, but it's something. Something you mention there 'full two weeks'. How are the 'staying in police' going to know if you're allowed to be out or not. Will we get a chitty or something and if so on what basis will it be issued? And how will they know who is over 70? Some 70/80 year olds - women especially - can easily pass for much younger because people haven't adjusted their mental images of what old people look like. Will it be suss laws for elders?

I consoled myself by saying that I knew where I stood on tories, politics, etc, and that my undying burning hatred for conservatives wasn't going to just disappear if I stopped relentlessly staring at their atrocities for a bit. But this was poorly timed on my part, and I do feel bad for not taking this poo poo seriously sooner. That was irresponsible of me.

They're not. We're relying on people being sensible and obeying the rules. Whilst not telling them the rules effectively, or why they should be obeying them, or in some cases not bothering to set them in the first place. ANd still putting on like... loving marathons and poo poo. Totally Normal Country.
