Canary Wharf shopping report - the big Waitrose is limiting and has 100-odd people waiting outside, the little M&S and Tesco are both basically empty and have about the same stock as the Tesco Metro around the corner from me had yesterday except bread is rather more limited. Nobody has eggs or bog roll, however I didn't check the Coop that claimed they were getting a lorry load of the latter today. However good news everyone! Holland and Barrett is still open! Ecinacea and Rescue Remedy are exactly what we need in the face of a global pandemic!

Jimmy looks unimpressed with the whole "saying goodbye" thing. Like it's an inconvenience. A handsome boy, though.

Bobstar posted:Predictably, they're resisting meaningful help for the self-employed: OFGS it's quite simple. Give them the money then when they do their next tax return, if they have earned more than some set amount (don't ask me what!) make a repay schedule. It's not hard. They just don't try! And means testing it or getting it back will cost more than just flaming giving it to them anyway!

Also, a friend (climate change denier - she's usually anti-big business but seems to think climate change is a plot - not sure who by - and I said to her the only people who benefit from climate change denial are your friends the big businesses - she's also into 'vibrations' and Louise Hay - if you get a sore throat it's because your mind is stopping you say something you need to say type stuff) but I digress: She sent me this: Viruses don't transfer person to person https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcS60a9cdg4 I haven't watched it, the title was enough to put me off!

Necrothatcher posted:Rewarding people to come to work in a pandemic is a terrible idea. They have emphasised that this is not a reward for coming in sick, but I can see it being interpreted that way. We have security taking temperatures before people can come in, but that won't help if people aren't showing fever symptoms. They're also letting people back in after travelling back from the USA so it's a case of some good ideas vastly beaten by many other poor choices.

If I find and murder the person whose car alarm has been going off under my window for the last hour on the first day it's been nice enough to have the windows open in months, will that be put down as a coronavirus death? After all if it weren't for the government "advice", I wouldn't be here.

Dear lord. https://twitter.com/YesMissMurphy/status/1242364536365211648?s=19 For a long time I believed boomers were just massively selfish. Now I see they're actually physically incapable of believing anything bad can ever happen to them.

Apparently like 50% of cases of novel coronavirus have anosmia as a symptom and it persists for around 3 weeks after you've recovered. It is bloody distressing not being able to smell or taste anything. I can't enjoy coffee and tried a beer yesterday, all I could taste was some back back of the mouth bitterness. Hell the other day I had a couple of spoonfuls of Colman's English mustard with 0 effect. It's far from the worst that could happen but it's bizarre enough to pretty clearly show this is NOT the flu. Also I finished my 1 week self isolating yesterday, gently caress you Boris!

Going from "we have to go out cos we're sick of being indoors" to "I want to die my life is over" in the space of like, four minutes is very impressive.

Few days ago I started drinking Thornton’s chocolate liqueur, saw the sell by date, checked amazon and the chuffing thing was 7 years old. Tried it yesterday when I could taste again and it can only be described as “liquid death”

All this time we've been waiting for the boomers to die but none of us ever thought to just ask them nicely, they might have obliged. Absolutely full of poo poo. She's a child.
