Corona Virus: How Are We Doing?

[Ming the Merciless]

Just had an email from Park Run to say that the runs are suspended until at least end of April.

People are posting on FB “hey I’m going for a run in the park at hh:mm come and join me”. Seems they can’t do it without the comfort blanket of others.

Maybe your kids will be part of the section Boris has just mentioned? Parents essential to NHS and other critical services can still attend.

The essential list is pretty long, some teachers are not happy. Now is a teacher with kids essential as they are not in the list I think.

I'm in the core gtoup of volunteers at our local parkrun, official statement tells people not to organise runs at the parkrun locations which we've repeated on our Facebook page, but you can only advise, if people want to show their lack of brain cells you can't really stop them.

You can stop them posting in the page as did our local park run FB group. Then they lose the ability to contact other park run people unless already friends on Facebook.

I saw it explained in a lecture by Prof Heinz Wolff and took him at his word.

We've already had to delete some comments from people who aren't in agreement with the policy.

What's wrong with some people?

I work for one of the Universities in York. All academic activities were cancelled from today onwards until after Easter.
Support staff (like me) are to work from home from next Monday onwards. Unfortunately my Dept is regarded as being "critical", so we are going to be provided with laptops so that we really will have to work from home. Bugger!

I'm very pissed off! I shop daily for not even a basket full of items,yet the things i tend to buy aren't there. I buy a banana a day..no bananas. A tin of peas every now and then..no peas. I must be in the minority who used hand gel way way before all this panic buying. Now i'm down to my last bottle of hand sanitiser. I had about 9 or 10 here and there in my flat,in coat pockets etc. I see people in supermarkets with piled up trolleys who have enough blubber on them to survive weeks of the in their minds potential starvation!

Apparently it's all a government conspiracy.

We seem to import all the stupid trends from the US very easily.

It looks like the first day of dedicated vulnerable shopping time didn't work great at Sainsbury's

Tesco sent an email last night announcing a similar initiative, but the article above is not encouraging.
As a type 1 diabetic I am more vulnerable than some, so have been pondering about using those slots. However, I am middle aged and healthy looking, so I am sure to be looked upon as taking advantage, and possibly attract unkind comments. Anyone else here in the same situation?
