But it looks like I *definitely* timed that car purchase correctly though. Might not get the missing parcel shelf for a while though.

Yesterday I visited almost all the shops in my area that might normally be expected to have bogroll and I put a list on a local group (so people wouldn't waste time going to those that didn't have any) - and while it was great that a couple of people offered me personally a bog roll (I don't need any for now), the assumption was that I was looking for me. Likewise, I reported that the one and only laundrette in the town has closed for the duration. Again, someone replied I hope that the community can sort that out for you. It's not FOR ME, I have laundry facilities and at the very least, I'm single and can do handwashing if necessary. The interesting thing for me is that people are just assuming I am talking about my needs instead of trying to be helpful for everyone! No wonder the tories keep winning.

Food delivery places staying open though so I can still get a pizza tonight.

bionic vapour boy posted:I think they're also going click & collect, so you can go into their shops but literally just to pick up an order, which seems... better? Delivery and click-and-collect was always the majority of their business, they're basically Argos in a hard-hat. I had to pick some stuff up from them last week and they sent me a text saying "don't come in until we text you to say your order is ready" so presumably they're just going to actually enforce that (and take the impulse-buy power tools away from the waiting area).

My van failed it’s MOT yesterday and is currently waiting for parts, hopefully they come in and the garage stays open otherwise I’m not sure what happens if I can’t get it passed! I don’t need it to go anywhere but does insurance stay valid if the MOT isn’t? Can I still park it on the street?

StarkingBarfish posted:npower just cancelled my smart meter installation for today. Understandable given the circumstances but I'm gutted because I only just moved in and need to figure out how spendy my bills are going to be. What I do: Read your meter every few days. Put on spreadsheet. Check your tariff: my electric is approx 25p per day unit (incl VAT) and half that per night unit. + 25p per day standing charge. Gas is a bit harder to work out. Then you can calculate it.

I think the tax is the thing you need to keep up for on-road parking, you just can't drive it anywhere if it's not MOTed, other than to the garage to get it MOTed.

Why would you freak out about not being able to go outside IKR, this is basically normal for 10 out of the last 12 months for me, with the exception of not going to visit friends in the evenings to play games, and we're making great strides on replacing that with Discord and aother online options. I've seen all my friends on FB going stir-crazy at home and started wondering whether that's what already happened to me. Because they're describing how awful their future is and I'm like... it's fine, can I interest you in a parasocial relationship with a thousand hours of nerds playing D&D on youtube. It's like friends only you can pause it to make lunch.

No official guidance on insurance or parking (but probably not because, well, you know why). Test centres *are* permitted to stay open though.

Okay, interesting thought experiment time - what if there was a cure for COVID? Not a miracle cure, something with nasty side-effects that needs proper testing? Presumably governments would know about this, and I guarantee that the cowboys on either side of the Atlantic would *absolutely* put off lockdown as long as possible figuring if they can keep the death toll in the thousands or even tens of thousands while keeping the economy ticking over they'd look like absolute loving geniuses. Then what if it turned out actually no, the cure isn't as effective as we thought, or the side effects are much worse, or we just don't have the ability to get enough of it out to stay ahead of the deaths? Wouldn't that then see them rapidly escalating lockdown (and Trump's fully-liquid brain continuing to babble about the cure)? e: Actually if the cure was only available in limited quantities, you'd *definitely* see the rich who can get their hands on it telling everyone they need to get back to work to keep the number up. I suppose, like all conspiracy theories, this is actually a desperate attempt to pretend that the people in charge are malicious rather than incompetent and negligent, because it's somehow comforting to think that someone wants you dead rather than is just too lazy to stop you dying. At least they're thinking about you. goddamnedtwisto fucked around with this message at 10:33 on Mar 24, 2020 |

You realise that your "being helpful" is adding to the problem, right? Doing a tour of every shop in town is a great way to catch and spread the virus. People assume you must be looking for things for yourself as the alternative is bizarre given the current situation.

If there was a cure someone would be price gouging the poo poo out of it, probably. Viruses are not the kind of thigns that respond easily to cures though. The 'cure' if it comes at all, will be in the form of a vaccine that prevents it from harming you in the first place, not a drug that takes it away once you have it.

A year ago I had a super serious flare up of Crohn's disease, and started 3 immuno-surpressant medicines, now down to 2, I spent most of the year self-isolating, extremely germophobic and anxious, and recently started trying to go back to normal, then Corona hits. Part of me feels used to it and ready to just do it again, but part of me is ready to snap already.

Antivirals do exist, and even if they're hit and miss they're what we need right now given a vaccine is of no use to someone actually infected. But don't get hung up on what the "cure" actually is - maybe it's just a treatment that suppresses the lung and heart damage, vastly improving survival rates. Like I say, even the *possibility* of such a drug existing would lead to competent-but-evil leaders acting in the way Johnson and (periodically) Trump have been.
