I think I may be winning/losing in the virus last one alive in this thread at the moment.

At work today, one of the cafeteria workers that I chat poo poo with, said one of his classmates (hes studying in uni) was on the plane with the 1st Northern Ireland confirmed case.

His classmate was in uni the next day, but was told to quarantine for a month the next day.

Reminds me of a comic strip called The Driver. Of a trucker with an impossibly long trailers behind him
Appeared in a comic called Toxic! in the UK in the late 90s.

Here is someone who put it to music:

The company I work for isn't loving insane so they just bought a bunch of laptops and I get to work from home for the first time today.

Posted this in the Ireland thread, mine has been going the last decade 'no its impossible never going to happen' to work from home.
Now its confirmed we are going to.
And I think they are doing it in a half assed way too, VPNing to our work computers.
But hey, if I can get paid while wearing nothing but my underwear, Im up for it.

Had a friend just ask the most stupidly obvious thing.

Are airlines spray people coming on or off planes?

It would be a really cheap way to stop it spreading.

Looks like my company made the correct call allowing us to work from home.
We share the same building with a few other companies, and one of them has a confirmed positive who was in the building.
Full place is on lockdown, and its only 1/2 mile from where I live.
poo poo.

I think I will let my beard grow, until the all clear is given.
Anyone in for a beard growing competition?

Until we go on full France-style lockdown, I assume there is issue with going on a walk outside? For example from my house I can walk a loop in about an hour, during which time I literally interact with no one (I might see the odd person on the pavement but can easily avoid) and don’t touch anything. Or, I can drive somewhere rural and walk in some fields etc. My wife is on maternity leave and we have a 7 month old so would like to get us and the baby some fresh air! It doesn’t seem like the above is contrary to current advice.

Both are fine.
The virus is close contact spread, so as long as you don't touch things like bench seats or gates or whatever you should be fine.
Wash hands before and after you come back. And stop anyone coming up to see the kid up close.

My mother is 72 and takes the dog for a walk every morning at 7am, and is safe to do so as there is gently caress all around apart from the birds.

One unnerving fact from the Irish daily briefing, was that 45% of cases could not be traced to any other person, as in they can't trace it backwards .

It's going to take a couple of weeks of lockdown for this to have an effect on the rise in numbers. Italy is only just seeing a slowdown.

Even then, it will be months of mini outbreaks and such.
Once the all clear to go back to work is given, some will be still carriers and will infect the rest of their fellow staff.
I totally expect to get it then, our office aircon is dreadful, and if one fucker has it, all of us will get it.

My Mum today wanted to go to Waitrose for a loving newspaper. We have a house full of food, and she has a Times subscription so she can read it online anyway.

"Yeah, but I prefer the paper one, it's not the same on the laptop."

She's 60 and in decent health, but overweight and is prone to respiratory infections. I almost want to show her some of the twitter accounts I've seen from people who've had the roni to scare her into staying indoors at all costs, but I won't because it'll terrify her.

Do it.
Better scared than dying alone on a gurney in a hallway, being buried in whatever you were wearing at the time, and getting a minimal funeral.
For a loving tabloid.

How exactly do you just find a shotgun?

Family on my street found a random shotgun in their attic a few years ago.
Turned out it belonged to a drug dealer who lived 3 houses down, he went up into his attic and broke through to the other attics to stash it
Knowing the police won't search further than his house.

People on my football forums have gone all in on the idea that most of us are already infected, and that there's a government cover up as only a fraction of the people dying in hospitals have the virus.


Anything to excuse how terrible Man U were this year.
