Bit of a fuss about nothing really. We need to bring the testing down to zero so that virus has nowhere to go. It can't infect future-tested people

So if we’re three weeks behind Italy, does that mean London is only one week behind? Or the rest of us are actually five weeks behind?

Yikes, no non-essential travel is kind of painful. Do you guys think it still be okay if it's just driving to a car park and then going biking/camping on a moor? shouldn't be any real danger of spreading the virus.

I was, surprisingly, wondering this myself. I really can't see the harm though - you won't come into contact with anyone on the drive over or while you're on the moors. At worst it's the walk through whatever town/village you park in but even then.

Ash Crimson posted:gently caress off mate, I have elderly and health-compromised relatives, but Forkboy wants to accelerate poo poo you disengenuous gently caress I am not arguing for accelerationism, just acknowledging that if the pandemic continues to expose the absolute failures built into the confidence trick of capitalism we should be prepared to leap on it. You're the one who leapt on my advice to check small stores and pharmacies for soap as me arguing coughing in her granny's face.

If you ensure to practice social distancing should you come across anybody on your travels then I think it'd be fine. And you know, don't go licking car door handles in the car park or anything.

Anyone self-employed, on benefits or run a business should have a look at the benefits page from the government https://www.gov.uk/government/news/coronavirus-support-for-employees-benefit-claimants-and-businesses I'm self-employed but I'm hosed, so apparently I can now sign up for Universal Credit and get it paid straight away?

Italy figures: 350 dead today, slightly fewer than yesterday. They might be peaking, thanks to their draconian lockdown 7 days ago.

So what's the verdict on family? Stay the gently caress away from them at all costs? I haven't seen mine since my grandad's funeral and I'll be seriously gutted not to see my mum on mother's day. My partner's mum already told her not to bother coming home and she's crushed.

Turned up at the doctors to be told my appointment is cancelled and they’ll do an appointment over the phone instead. I’m not sure how they’re going to administer a T injection over the phone but I’m intrigued to find out.

Katt posted:So hows Labour? I heard all leadership candidates signed a pledge to give a Zionist group the power to expel Labour members at will and were going to use this to boot Corbyn. How did that go? Turns out everyone in the Labour Party is an antisemite for not giving Israel the right to drop as much white phosphorous on schools as they like, but it’s all okay now because apparently since the election the problem just disappeared instantly so I guess all the antisemites died on their way back to their home planet. Or maybe the issue was entirely manufactured by the right wing supporting media based on some random tweets and “evidence” that seems to consist of “labour party members were really cross at this member of labour for Israel for repeatedly yelling to vote conservative and the fact the member was Jewish makes this antisemitism”

I'm pretty sure non essential travel means stuff you don't have to do rather than stuff we probably just think is okay anyway. I mean what happens if you fall over or something and need an ambulance? I don't want to be a downer or tell you what to do but I guess every little helps...

ThomasPaine posted:In a way Boris should be thrilled. He always fantasised about being Churchill, now here's his big crisis. He could even do what Churchill did and make everyone forget all his garbage by pulling us through this disaster with strong leadership, forcing through major economic and public health provisions to minimise fatalities and provide security. But no, of course he only ever liked the idea of being this great statesman, he never actually wanted the responsibilities that go along with it, so he's going to hide away and do gently caress all and probably go down as the single worst PM Britain has ever had. So that's cool. He can rerecord all his press conferences later for posterity and change them so he's presenting policies and offering good advice

A few days of shortness of breath has turned into a low fever and a cough so I think we're through the incubation of whatever this is and we're about to head into the fun bit. The others in the house have it about the same, none of us know where we got it but eh, such is life. We have some stocks, and it still might not be covid19, just some other flu thing but there you go, if it is it is. Assuming it is, if you are thinking "well, I don't have *all* the symptoms" and it's not gonna bankrupt you to stay in, if you actually do have the choice to stay in, please do it for the sake of all the people that don't.

I tried the scary forrin shop nobody ever seems to go in on the way home from work and came away with a 12 pack of toilet rolls to satisfy my (now panicking) wife that we have enough to last a little while. They had shelves of the stuff but I'm not a total oval office so I left that for other people.
