Is there a decent dose-response model for the virus yet? Comments back in March seem to vary but err on the "probably, maybe" side based on SARS-CoV-1 and HCoV-229E, so if you get a small initial infective dose you have milder Covid than if you gargle a shot of infected fluid. Thus lots of healthcare professionals and bus drivers dying due to inadequate PPE leading to high dose initial exposure which is entirely on this shithouse government (or Gordon Brown buying the wrong masks, apparently). It's possible that isolating immunocompromised and elderly people and allowing everyone else to mingle at 1-2m distances with sanitation rules might lead to milder cases. The problem is that they're poo poo at isolating immunocompromised and elderly people too, and this will just expose more medical professionals (and now bar and cafe staff) unless PPE is improved, which it isn't being.

How is Spoons going to open on the 4th of July if they sacked all their staff? Not that I'd be going back anyway, but trying to hire and train thousands of staff across the country for what will be one of the busiest days ever seems like the recipe for some cool and righteous sabotage.

Whelp, with the 'end of lockdown' looming and my workplace inevitably reopening, does anyone have any recommendations for a good pulse oximeter? There seem to be plenty available now but the reviews are all over the place - it doesn't seem worth getting one if the results aren't accurate.

All pubs are going to need a massive amount of staff not necessarily because its going to be busy, but to comply with the regulations Where as before you could have a few staff all doing the same thing, so serving, clearing, taking food out etc, now each job will need a separate person to minimise contact between them. So serving person never leaves the bar. You need a separate person to clear glasses and wash them. Another person that can only take food out. Another to clear plates. None of those jobs can be shared Then you need an army of sanitisers. Each table (and it will just be tables, no standing) will need sanitising between each use. Contact points everywhere, even fruit machines and pool tables sanitised between use Whereas I'd normally have 2 to 3 front of house staff on with me on a regular food service day shift that's going to jump to 6 minimum

I should also point out that northallerton is mostly famous for the constant traffic jam because someone decided to put two roundabouts within pissing distance of one another on a main (but tiny) road across north yorkshire. Other highlights include a major rail junction and a train station that's like 15 minutes walk away from anything you would actually want to visit. It also has a Betty's tea room which is nice but horribly overpriced and I feel weird going there because everyone wears period dress, they do really really nice coffee and macaroons though. Also a barker's department store type thing. It's kind of like tory hell honestly and only one step removed from beamish in terms of the general feel of the place. I do kinda like the independant supermarket though cos they sell all kinds of weird cheese and snacks. OwlFancier fucked around with this message at 15:37 on Jun 23, 2020 |

I'm not sure this is true, or that pulse oximeter apps that use a phone's camera can be relied on for medical purposes. Maybe the most recent high end phones are designed for it though? Something like this is probably fine

Private Speech posted:Other countries have universal healthcare and have had it for longer, hth. 'Short term' visitors my loving foot. You don't get free NHS care until you've become a permanent resident, which requires you to live in the UK legally for five years first, paying an NHS fee every year of that time, which regularly gets doubled every year or two. Ask my wife, who is coming towards the end of her second 2 1/2 year FLR(M) 'short term' visa. That's on top of the actual visa application fee of a couple of grand a go, of course, and paying the standard UK taxes we all do as well.

It's kind of scary to see 65000 deaths just go into the memory hole like this. We had one of the worst responses in the world and it's just being ignored and forgotten in favour of pretending we didn't absolutely gently caress it. Nae accountability, just going down as One of those things. A wee shrug and Oh well. And the government's response is to act as if they hadn't completely hosed it and if they hadn't completely hosed it then they'd be opening the pubs by now, which is what they're doing so they can't have completely hosed it. It's just another eye opening event in a series of eye opening events. They Tories can gently caress up a plague at every stage and still be loved by at least 40% of the country. At this stage Boris could be filmed shagging a wee dug and it's only dip the tories to 39% and a bunch of blueticks would shag a staffie in support.

I wasn't kidding when I said it was basically Beamish, it's the kind of place you send your elderly demented parents because they keep regressing back to the 1930's.
