Julio Cruz posted:I think McDs is dependent on the franchisee because I drove past my local around lunchtime and there was a massive queue for the drive through McDonalds said they would be closing from tonight, presumably so they have a chance to actually properly communicate to the franchisees/empty the fridges.

Made the mistake of telling my mum that my brother is probably, definitely going to get it. His partner's a pharmacist, he works for a mental health charity who mostly seem to be making videos of footballers telling people to stay home and relax atm, but apparently needs to be in full time after using up his sick days. One of my cousins is also in isolation with his family on their farm. If they can't get a food delivery out there like they normally do then I have been warned my chest freezer will be raided. Knew I shouldn't have given mum a key to my house. All the forestry contracts I do consultancy work on have been pushed back a few months. Even though one of them is next to popular camping grounds and it would be a brilliant time to have 2-3 guys out there chopping down trees with no interruptions. Job's a nightmare when random campers are constantly walking/loving/making GBS threads around the work site.

good news everyone. HMRC have promised to take it easy on non-resident citizens who, due to the pandemic, have unexpectedly found themselves stuck in the UK for longer than usually allowed without being considered resident again for tax purposes https://www.ft.com/content/e48c1ea2-6d1a-11ea-89df-41bea055720b quote:The UK tax authorities have taken steps to allay the fears of British expatriates stuck in the UK because of the coronavirus crisis and worried they might fall foul of tough tax-residence rules.

Pablo Bluth posted:According to wikipedia: local restrictions began around the time of their first death, a large expansion around day 16 on the graph, then national lockdown off my chart's axis. But of course all of those were meant to make the situation better not worse. it doesn't explain why the UK numbers have remained lower despite a massively bungled 'socal distancing'. we're not testing enough, we're discouraging people from even contacting 111 except if it gets serious, so that's skewing the confirmed cases. And all the bungling has really been in the last couple of weeks, so the effects of that will only just be starting to show as symptoms. And there's probably a bunch of factors that go into exactly how quickly the spread takes off (which probably becomes more consistent once it's really taken hold) we still have more deaths than Italy did at the same stage though, which isn't a good sign for our true number of cases

my partner's best pal works as a doc and apparently a breakdown in communication led to the entire room she was in being exposed to covid without any warning and nobody wearing the proper PPE, but they can't stop her working because they need all hands on deck so she's just on a list to be monitored for symptoms, so that's cool and reassuring

Don't panic, please. This is a dumb question, but are takeaways still able to operate in places that are locked down? Or are just supermarkets etc staying open but not places selling prepared food?

Pablo Bluth posted:I'm not so sure now. I think all the graphs aligning up using 'day of the tenth death' is shifting the UK data too much. It suggests we're three weeks behind when we get a better correlation at two weeks. how come? I mean in the absence of any serious testing regime, it's not really possible to compare the number of cases, but deaths are much easier to track no? I don't know why they picked the 10th death as the reference point, but I assume it's some kind of minimum significance as far as the spread goes, where it's considered to be established or whatever I mean part of the reason for these visualisations is to show how the spread has developed over time, so it's not necessarily about correlation, right? A country that was doing better at a particular stage won't really correlate to another's case growth, but you can still compare them. Or do you mean something else?

That said they've really hosed this up (again) if they go into lock down now - a weekend of spreading in pubs on friday, parks over the weekend and work on Monday and THEN they decide to clamp down.

namesake posted:You need to lock stuff down without warning or else it's all the surrounding areas and holiday parks which then suffer the wave of transmission. I've been going along with the assumption that the government really, really, doesn't want to be seen as inconveniencing anyone. They only closed the pubs after getting pressure from Scotland/the NHS (and even then didn't really close them, until there was news reports saying the pubs were full on Friday night). They haven't put in a full lockdown until loads of people were absolute idiots over the weekend and the media criticised the public. At no point has the government taken the load and acted before they "had" to. They're using the media (and their own briefings to the media) to make all their actions look like they've been forced to do it. If only the public had all been 100% rational actors and voluntarily self isolated for two months at the same time we'd be fine! This is why the public are approving of the government. They're merely waiting until the last moment and doing the bare minimum.
