As expected, my Sainsburys order this morning came with a load of substitutions. There were a few items where "no suitable alternative was found" which I haven't seen before. That was for some pasta, tinned potatoes, and cleaning wipes. Shockingly, I ordered a bottle of Carex not expecting to get it, and it was substituted... with antibacterial Carex. I feel like I've struck gold. I should sell this on the black market and make my fortune. The delivery chap (who was very much not thrilled about his busy day ahead) said that the announcement last night seems to have made the panic buying situation worse, apparently this morning their shelves have been stripped bare. And of course all the delivery slots for the next 3 weeks have been booked up.

I touch computers for a local authority (yes, I know,  ) and there's mutterings of redeploying us to help the communities with things like food delivery. Honestly I'd love to be doing that rather than spinning my wheels with the pointless projects in which I'm currently engaged

i was thinking that maybe this relatively non-deadly virus may be a good thing in the future because it'll prepare us for the inevitable super deadly one. Then I remembered this is hellworld and no lessons will be learned.

Hello hello my angels, I don’t know how many of you are following me but my twitter is attempting to be much less bitching and more super serious coronavirus information from verifiable sources. If you find something new please please tag me in so I can keep the feed current (information more than 2 days old is out of date at this point) I have the Italian raw figures from Monday but can’t find yesterday’s. https://twitter.com/learnincurve11/status/1239836509899034624

Josef bugman posted:Oooof. The fundamental model of the insurance industry is to get premiums from everyone and use them to fund claims from whatever smaller subset of the customers make them. The terms deliberately exclude things like pandemics or nuclear disasters that would result in everyone claiming at once, which obviously cannot be funded. They should be rinsed for what they can fund, but the insurance industry is not going to be anyone's saviour in this. It needs the government to step in.

OwlFancier posted:Hello LC, I hope you're keeping safe in this lovely mess. I’m fine thanks 🙂, self isolating because of all the disgusting old slobs on the bus and not wanting to pass anything they have onto my lad who will then send it round a special needs school. loving lazy middle class boomers cleared out all the flour, hand wash and toilet roll round our small poor people’s Morrisons because they were too bone idle to go to the big one a mile away and walk round it. We know this because the front half of the car park was pure fake four by fours.

We're currently drawing up plans so I can work from home most of the time, then work on laptops from a local office when needed, which only has a few people in it, has a separate room I can work from and I can get to without being stuck on a bus, so that's better than nothing I guess. We'll see how long it lasts when poo poo really hits the fan though.

I’m seeing a lot of people on twitter, although thankfully no sane and sensible goons, ask if they can take herbal anti-inflammatories instead of ibroprofen NO It’s any anti-inflammatory.
