Yes I'm unhappy to say it but in this instance I'm suspicious that it's a combination of ignoring foreign experience and fear of staff catching the illness (which is important but there is a balance and a point at which you have to accept risk).

The worldometer is reporting 1,415 deaths total, 1,228 as of yesterday, so 187 random anonymized non-indicative-of-loving-anything deaths I guess.

Just got informed I'm being put on furlough - last day's work tomorrow. I'm all for it tbh, I won't be getting as much money, but I'm not spending bugger all at the minute so it evens out. Money to sit at home and play nintendo sounds OK to me.

Just found out we're going to skeleton crew (80%+ of company on furlough) and the company will make up the difference between the government payout and full salary, which is incredibly bloody generous. No idea how long it can last as business has dived off a cliff, but shows not all companies are being arseholes.

Annoyingly I have to be one of the skeletons for now, but to be honest I think I'd go totally mad if I couldn't work at all so it's probably for the best.

They are linked, but the virus is not motile and is absorbed through mucous membranes, not through skin. Your ears don't have mucous membranes in them, and the link to the respiratory system is internal, the other side of the eardrum. Even if someone spat in your ear (ew) there wouldn't be a direct route for infection through the ears.

Funnily enough because I've been off the booze for lent, I usually stockpile everything long-life or toiletries and the like just before this hit and already have six bottles of shower gel on my shelf. My local co-op also had a fine selection of actual bread and milk at midday today, didn't check for anything else though

Yeah but that Original Source stuff is loving legit, and they seemed to stop making it for a while. Seeing it on the shelf gave me more of a jump than the Andrex just next to it.

Fortunately my quixotic attempts to replicate it/make a cheaper version than Bronner's Peppermint, which is even better but works out more expensive than unicorn spunk, mean I have a 5-litre bottle of unscented shower gel sitting in my bathroom, so that was one thing I was never going to run out of, but having the OG stuff back on the shelves feel like God smiling upon these benighted isles just for once.

I had to swear off that Original Source one, no shower should scald and shiver me at the same time (though strangely enjoyable as it is)

That's not limited to just Goons. Irish Simpsons Fans had a meme about that, so I have to say that most of the male population have tried using it south of their border.

Kind of annoyed at all the reports of UCL developing brand new completely never-before-seen respirators in three and a half minutes, no red tape needed.

They reverse-engineered an existing device and figured out how to make it with their existing tech. Which is still really cool! But it feels like its being spun in kind of a jingoistic way.

That or the Dr. Bronner's one, which is even stronger. Applying it neat to the funzone actually allows you to measure both the velocity and position of every electron in the skin of the area.
