Mental illness?

She's been self-isolating with symptoms for the last ten days but I hope she doesn't go back, because yes, she's clearly in no state to work

The house is going to be absolutely covered in virus though, and even though she's not feeling sick anymore you still shed for weeks after infection, IIRC

I really like my partner's mum :smith:

You are pretty unlikely to shed virus for long after your symptoms are gone. The reports talk about remaining infectious from time of infection or symptom onset. There’re a couple of reports of 30 days, or whatever, but should they be borne out, it’s going to be the rare case. You’ll likely be most infectious early on and by a couple days after your last symptoms, unlikely to infect people.

Well that's good at least, thanks. Although the house is still going to be covered in the virus. Her mum is a cleaner by trade and a cleaner by inclination so she'll scrub literally everything but that also means she'll be kicking it all up into her face

Ideally my partner's sister should clean but that is not going to happen

Honestly if she doesn’t wipe everything down with fingers and then clean them by inserting them into her mouth, it’ll probably be okay. Nothing is certain in this timeline obviously.

I thought this was simply a statement of fact. The 2017 position was that we will Brexit. Brexit means the end of EU freedom of movement, by definition. What was left fuzzy was what would replace that.

It's a weaselly loving response to a question that was obviously about Labour policy wrt migration. An attempt to signal to the racist voters that they'll do what they want, while giving everyone else a "statement of fact" excuse to ignore the signalling. Piss poor.

Most wrestling promotions have a rule that if the champion doesn't defend their title in a match for X months, the title is automatically vacated.

Does the UK system have a similar rule? E.g. if Boris doesn't make a public appearance for 14 consecutive days, the PM belt is automatically vacated and there's a Royal Rumble for all the contenders to fight over it?

We actually do, but it's not applicable here. If parliament passes a vote of no confidence under the terms of the fixed-term parliament act (a throwdown) and it passes by a majority but not 2/3rds, the government has two weeks to pass a vote of confidence or else an election happens.

I have no proof of any of this but I have to wonder if it isn’t because scaremongering isn’t as attractive when you’re actually, honestly scared of real-world consequences. I was reading a thing recently about how true crime podcasts especially have fallen off a cliff, and it seems like it might be because people just don’t want that poo poo right now.

Their advertising will have dropped off a cliff too, which is where there revenue actually comes from. Sales are just a number to put in front of the advertisers.

You would think people are more likely to buy a newspaper at the moment - it gives them an excuse to go outside, something to read that isn't the internet etc. Certainly the corner shop I live above has seen a fairly steady stream of customers all day.
