pfft, I got dragged from Southampton up to the DEFRA office in Reading for "jams" when it turned out someone had put A3 in a tray and not changed the tray settings from A4. Was particularly gratifying to show someone how to change it in the three minutes I was in the building

Latest 24hr death toll is 87. That's a significant leap up.

I noticed they stopped reporting on cases and just do deaths now (8000/422)

I'm not so sure about this. When all the olds start piling up in ICUs they'll be replaying the footage of youngsters pissing around on beaches.

Aye, but as this will effect everyone rather than being some other, people's lived experience will trump media spin (to a point) - I think how the narrative is formed in the coming months will be how people remember it. Like, the 90s wasn't just an endless summer with brit pop and Blair but its baked that way in people's brains. As we're living in history I think its important to archive prescient stuff and be involved in forming that narrative than left behind (Mandela effect in reverse maybe)

Someone posted in our village FB ground that they saw a family playing football in a field at the back of the village asking who's field it was. Most people responded the right way, of who the gently caress cares who's field it is? It's a family they can go play football in any field they like.

Speculation with absolutely nothing to back this up: they won't need much equipment because it's where the no-hopers will be sent to protect the capacity of other hospitals.

spent £70 on groceries in Tesco today which has to be the most I've spent in a single trip for at least a decade

no flour and no bread rolls and very little meat but everything else looked pretty normal (didn't check for eggs or tinned tomatoes/beans)

they only said non-essential shops would be closed (whatever that counts for exactly), and that you could only travel to work if necessary (whatever that means)

so they basically made positive decisive sounds while leaving holes you could drive a brexit bus through, so yeah it's "up to you and your employer" and people can be blamed yet again for not making the right decisions

That one is at least partially true, the morning peak service has been cut back far too much.

It doesn’t matter if the passenger load drops by 70% if you only run 25% of the regular number of trains. They’re going to be rammed.

Unless something's changed the plan was for two years "emergency powers"

Whether that's written into the bill or not I don't know.

Not enormously keen on the expansion of powers to section people indefinitiely basically for shits and giggles given the history of the UK's mental health services.
