Mum called to say she was collecting her online shopping and as soon as they drove away an old lady across the street came out to shout and swear at her for getting food delivery. loving curtain twitchers, she has no idea about her situation and whether she "needs" online food deliveries or not. Now of course mum feels dreadful and unsafe because of it. We will be our own police state. Anyways just had to vent a little.

I don't think people really thought about the bug possibilities before apart from the occasional food poisoning tearing through. Not sure she'll be up for a cruise in future! Her and dad went on quite a lot of cruises in the last few years of his life. Years ago, a friend and I took a windowless bunk in the bottom of the Hurtigruten for a couple of days to get from Bergen to Trondheim. We took a box of cornflakes, some milk, a loaf of bread and some cheese. And we would go on deck during meal times and push our noses against the dining room windows to watch the wealthy cruise goers doing the full coast of Norway 11 days cruise stuffing three course meals down themselves.

I'm assuming the old lady is stressed to gently caress and having a terrible day, maybe just angry that someone got a delivery slot while she's been struggling... I'm hoping she's not gonna be spreading poo poo around town or on facebook or whatever. Mum has a big anxiety problem and this is the last thing she needs

I probably shouldn't tell you two who I work for then...  It's been a really weird situation. One of our sister companies has been hit massively, we've not been so much (although one of the ships has now reported cases, that's the first). Obviously all our cruises for the next few months are cancelled and people are cancelling them this year, but bookings for next year are still at the same (or increased) levels. Some people who are on board the ships that are under quarantine are even rebooking cruises for the future. Apparently it's a hell of a drug.

Is it just a statistical wrinkle caused by the small sample size that so far four doctors but only two nurses have died of COVID? I'd have thought nurses, who are more numerous and spend a lot more time close to/in contact with patients, would have had a much larger toll. I suppose against that doctors are older and much more male than nurses, both of which put them at higher risk.

Though he was not elected, whilst the Conservative MP lost 6.7% of their vote in the seat, he almost trebled the Lib Dem share of the vote increasing it by 19.6%.

Maybe also docs are doing the high risk procedures, and at least the first couple were respiratory physicians which maybe fits with getting it doing intubations.

It means attempts to appropriate the concept of strength into anything but the traditional concept of strength (military and social coercion) have proven themselves weak in contemporary politics.

It's one of those things where everyone claims to have been in La Résistance and clearly that wasn't the case. I always found it interesting that Mitterand still had a career and became President despite his active collaboration with the Vichy regime until 1943.

baka kaba posted:If she's shouting at people she might be spreading something around Where can you get masks though? I've seen a couple of people in town with really fancy things that look like something from an alien landscape, I googled and cost about £60 each and a few with paper masks but nowhere that sells them. I'm making do with a double wrapped cotton scarf or if I forget, a handkerchief clutched to my face if I walk past anyone. Fortunately, the places I'm doing my daily walk I see almost no one else. I haven't watched the vid, but I noticed the discourse around the virus being airborne, but not really aerosols , or drops hanging round in the air etc etc and I thought to myself - the subtle distinction between 'aerosols' and 'airborne' is irrelevant to most people.

That video's more about showing how clouds of microdroplets end up basically suspended in the air, in place, unless you have sufficient airflow to move them. And just talking loudly can produce them, so if it's possible for the virus to cling to those, that's another potential infection vector. Either way, avoiding going out and being in places without good ventilation is probably a good shout there's a video here about producing masks that's been passed around https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JY-29VBkGmw it's basically paper towels, tissue paper, and some stuff to hold it together and in place. The face shield is there to avoid people coughing in your face, but just the mask is better than nothing so long as you replace it regularly, or if someone coughs on it

My daughter being under a year old and needing similar heart surgery is why we're on the vulnerable people list.

(And a fair few cheerfully joined organisations like the Milice to crack their fellow citizens' skulls on behalf of the fash.) In the period between the fall of France in mid-1940 and the German invasion of the USSR in mid-1941, the French communists found themselves in the curious position of rationalizing the conquest of France This they proceeded to do with great energy (revolutionary defeatism was still in living memory; it wasn't completely implausible). You see, it was regrettable that war had broken out at all, but it was an Anglo-French imperialism that provoked the war. This did not mean supporting fascism. But it meant that the fascists were not to be fought. Instead imperialism and capitalism were to be the main enemy (by which one means the English imperialists, not the German imperialists). quote:4 July 1940, L'Humanité: This kind of writing would become rapidly embarrassing after Operation Barbarossa and the PCF rapidly turned toward the resistance (whereupon it promptly shut up about l'Angleterre impérialiste). It is nonetheless remarkable to observe just how easy rationalization is. ronya fucked around with this message at 19:15 on Apr 3, 2020 |
