Hello hello my angels, I don’t know how many of you are following me but my twitter is attempting to be much less bitching and more super serious coronavirus information from verifiable sources. If you find something new please please tag me in so I can keep the feed current (information more than 2 days old is out of date at this point)

I have the Italian raw figures from Monday but can’t find yesterday’s.

Hello LC, I hope you're keeping safe in this lovely mess.

I’m fine thanks 🙂, self isolating because of all the disgusting old slobs on the bus and not wanting to pass anything they have onto my lad who will then send it round a special needs school.

loving lazy middle class boomers cleared out all the flour, hand wash and toilet roll round our small poor people’s Morrisons because they were too bone idle to go to the big one a mile away and walk round it. We know this because the front half of the car park was pure fake four by fours.

I’m seeing a lot of people on twitter, although thankfully no sane and sensible goons, ask if they can take herbal anti-inflammatories instead of ibroprofen

NO

It’s any anti-inflammatory.

This guy is pissing me off, he keeps taking screenshots of freely available information so it looks like he’s some sort of super journalist and you have to go dig to find the source.

Looking at China it took about two months to get the number of cases back down to double digit per day. At that point things should be fairly OK again I guess?

Just went over to the shops to get spring onions and coriander for dinner - it was very quiet in there, all pretty normal tbh. The only thing was there were no eggs, no rice, no pasta. But shelves full of pulses, dried beans, tinned fish (no tuna but plenty of sardines/pilchards/mackerel) Are people really going to be eating pasta and jarred sauces for months? It's loving weird that all the actually nutritional shelf-stable foods are left in favour of pasta and rice.

The kind of selfish boomer who is doing this do not know how to cook pulses, dried beans and tinned fish...
They are the same people who let their 8 year old sit at home on their own till 5pm and then threw something pasta/frozen chips based together at 5:30pm.

They also own at least two houses because they “need to top up my pension” and “pop round to see what the tenants are up to” at least once a month.

I'm sure we can trust the Tories not to sneak anything draconian into new legislation... Oh wait, two year duration... No review... And extending mental health detentions as a nice little add on.

That twat from the spectator who screenshots other people’s work and tries to pass it off as his own was absolutely doing his nut over this this morning, it’s like the right wing press are both for it on principle, but are aware the boomers who buy their shitrags are absolutely against being made to be even mildly inconvenienced in any way.

is there any roundup of the options for online grocery shopping and delivery? I haven't done that before and I'm trying to get other people ready for it too

I know Tesco and Morrisons and the like do it, but I've also heard their schedules are rammed. What else is out there/good?

It actually depends on where they pick the goods in your specific area. Turns out for home delivery in our area Morrisons are the ones who have a central warehouse and the systems reserves your food when you order it, (where as for click and collect they have someone going round store) but Sainsbury’s/Tesco’s don’t.

One good thing if you wanna plant some cheap easy stuff, dried peas are cheap and will grow super easily, just shove them in whatever you can find and watch em go. I have a pot of them on the windowsill in my kitchen atm. Balchelors do them in all the supermarkets and I reckon they'll still be in stock, because who the gently caress buys dried peas.

If you want a laugh at a total idiot I bought what I thought were 40 giant competition winning Celeriac seeds, but it turned out I bought a pack of 4000 which is enough celeriac to feed this entire thread for about a year, and the seeds smell insanely strong so now my house is going to smell of Celeriac forever.

Depends on the area, you do round here because they want to send a man round to check you have enough space for a house and run and that it won’t be too close to others*, cockerels are banned as well. I would guess they are dealing with noise complaints in advance.

*Had an inspection already because I had to get planning permission for a massive shed.

Point was made on tv this morning that the deaths we're seeing in the UK now are representative of the position of the spread 2 weeks ago (as it takes that long to die apparently). So we can expect it to get a lot worse over the next few weeks.

Ok listen up, *pulls up chair and sits in it backwards*

The French test is to take a deep breath and hold it in for 10 seconds, if you cannot do this without coughing then you definitely have the rona.

If you think you have the rona but can pass the test then you have no need to worry.
