CGI Stardust posted:Italy went into lockdown on March 9th, for us that's 2 days away. Hope the government beat the curve by a whole day and do it tomorrow instead! Is that 200 in addition to the average daily deaths in the UK or part of it (due to overlapping with folk who are elderly and ill already)? Like it's all well and good throwing around numbers like 200 a day, but it doesn't convey the consequences as well unless it's taking a pre-existing average of something like 1500 daily deaths up to 1700 or something (an 11% increase).

There are people who work there that can correct me, but doesn't the NHS run on something like 95% capacity all the time anyway - so an 11% increase in deaths (never mind critical care needs) would swamp it completely.

Until we go on full France-style lockdown, I assume there is issue with going on a walk outside? For example from my house I can walk a loop in about an hour, during which time I literally interact with no one (I might see the odd person on the pavement but can easily avoid) and don’t touch anything. Or, I can drive somewhere rural and walk in some fields etc. My wife is on maternity leave and we have a 7 month old so would like to get us and the baby some fresh air! It doesn’t seem like the above is contrary to current advice.

I watched the 1981 Clash of the Titans at my MIL's birthday do this aft, there's a quality shot in the swamp of a skellington stuck in an old tree. Thing's to take from this: Ray Harryhausen loving rules Calibos's make up is really good My step parents also rule Oh, for people stuck indoors for the forseeable, the thing that chills me the gently caress out is building model kit planes/cars. You can pick up Revell stuff cheap but my recommendation is Hasegawa/Aoshima kits, they're just better.

It doesn’t seem like the above is contrary to current advice. Both are fine. The virus is close contact spread, so as long as you don't touch things like bench seats or gates or whatever you should be fine. Wash hands before and after you come back. And stop anyone coming up to see the kid up close. My mother is 72 and takes the dog for a walk every morning at 7am, and is safe to do so as there is gently caress all around apart from the birds.

So unless I'm confused the national trust opened all their gardens for people to use for free a couple of days ago and have now just sit them all down completely instead. Not totally clear messaging regarding being outdoors

XMNN posted:it's looking real loving bad Don't forget that even if we went into absolute, hospital-grade quarantine tomorrow new (detected) infections wouldn't level off for at least a week and deaths for another week after that. This isn't going to happen, and that 33% growth rate is going to keep going for quite a while longer. Also don't forget - because it *will* come up if we dodge a bullet and end up with less deaths than Italy - a lot of mitigation or curve flattening or whatever you want to call it that has come has happened *before* the government has told us to do it. McDonalds, for example, went takeaway-only on Wednesday. Lots of offices were closed on Monday even though there's still not even guidance, let alone a request, to do so from HMG. Somehow Johnson and co are being more "business friendly" than most businesses.

It's the only "treat"/non-cooking food option remaining and people will continue to order just for the vague feeling of eating out and being normal. Deliveroo is going to make mad profits from this while loving its drivers from every direction.

I'm meant to be going out to visit a couple of sites on Monday - as long as the sites remain open, company policy is that we still visit them and then come home to do the paperwork. I really don't want to - the sites are all construction sites and my work is outdoors, but I still have to go into the site offices to sign in / explain to the site manager why I'm there and what I'm doing, which means coming into contact with loads of people. I'm hoping with what Sunak announced yesterday my boss will reconsider over the weekend and put us all on furlough. The only issue with that for him is that he won't be making any money personally, and seeing as the client is still working for now they'll probably kick up a storm and we potentially lose the contract... My anxiety is bad enough just sitting at home, it's gonna go through the roof if I'm out and about all day coming into contact with various people

It doesn’t seem like the above is contrary to current advice. There's nothing in the advice that says you can't go out into the countryside or something like that. My gf and I went out today, just in the car and then into a carpark in the countryside. Good to see lots of other people out and about and there's tons of room for you to avoid each other by a country mile, so no risk of contamination. Felt like we were running the gauntlet much more in the supermarket, although it was fairly quiet, albeit empty of some essentials. Josef bugman posted:I went to pick up some beer/support the local corner shop, and there were so many folks just dawdling around that it made me want to cry. Just have some urgency about you! How can you not understand that you need to go out and get back in fast. Don't get too stressed out about things dude, unless you're up in someone's face or have a vulnerable condition. As long as you keep your distance from people, it's perfectly cool (and probably good for everyone's mental health) for you to take a stroll outside in the fresh air and get some exercise. Edit: Communist Thoughts posted:Both my friends with underlying conditions are being made to work at waitrose cause theyr now key workers. Underlying conditions aside, this makes total sense. If they can redeploy John Lewis staff into Waitrose, it'll reduce the risk of mass redundancies significantly.

If they have underlying conditions, can't they self-isolate and get sick pay? I thought that was possible now. One thing that is concerning me, Wales Aneurin Bevan Health Board as reported in South Wales Argus has said it won't be long before over 70s are confined to home. With a lot of rural areas, and over 70s living alone, isolation and suicides amongst that age group are going to become an issue. How many will die alone and lie there for weeks possibly?

Went to my local National Trust property today, never seen more than 12 cars there before and today after the well-publicised scrapping of car parking charges the car park was full and there were cars queuing to get in and parking all down the road. Probably 75-100 cars total. Did a big loving nope and went for a socially-distanced walk in the woods two minutes down the road instead. People are loving idiots.

"Food in general" being a key service is a bit of a weird one. One of my friends works down t' pre-cooked bacon pit, which is not really a staple food stuff, but his factory is currently planning to be business as usual for the duration and I assume everyone in the factory with children will also be allowed to send their kids to school still. That's despite all of their product going to fast food and packaged sandwiches, demand for which I suspect is going to take a fairly large hit with fewer people being at work/out and about/not necessarily wanting to eat takeaway. Think the orders will probably start tailing off pretty soon though, from what he said they've already stopped running on the weekends. also he lives in a shared house with a lot of people who work odd hours and are out and about a lot so he's probably gonna get it pretty soon also also, one of his housemates drinks literally 24 cans of fosters every night (I've seen him do it) and I'm pretty concerned for him if there's shortages of alcohol. Apparently, the corner shop is keeping some in reserve for him, but things could get really bad for serious alcholics if there's an interruption to the countries booze supply (cf necrothatcher's dad's concerns for the methadone patients)

I can't see any issue with going out into the local woods or hills as long as you're keeping your distance from people and not licking stiles. Getting an hour or two of skiing or hiking in every day has been a huge deal for me in staying healthy and happy since I'm almost completely isolated otherwise.

I've just come up with the best idea to deal with my landlord (who won't let me end my contract a month early and insists I pay the rent on a flat I'm not living in). I'm going to send her an email tomorrow saying let me cut it short or I pay the rent next month, but I also hand the key to a homeless person when I leave. It's my flat, and while I'm renting it I can let whoever the hell I want stay there. Perfect, absolutely perfect. A total win-win.
