Coronavirus outbreak

[Racing roadkill]

I reckon he's missed the ''this train terminates here'' announcement. He's off to the railway sidings.

There would be more people on the train if that was the case.

There was me thinking the onset of summer would stall the epidemic. I wish I had not bothered enquiring. There are different opinions, short on data some professionals are saying that we in the northern hemisphere should not expect a reprieve before the next winter.

He will emerge 28 days later...

I used to emerge about an hour later after using the parked trains at my local station as somewhere to power nap a big session away before the march home.

Hmmm

If true, there goes the Herd Immunity theory down the toilet...

Tom Tom provides probably the best real time analysis of reduction in travel to/from work

Here's London, now

Reduction is happening

It can only have been the nudge unit’s idea to get the least trusted man in the nation’s history to tell us that any kind of mass public lockdown would be counterproductive at this stage. Because 20 minutes later, it was immediately like I Am Legend out there.

I’m completely lost for words. And that is totally unprecedented. I really have nothing that I can say ( regarding this ). It’s mental. Beyond my comprehension, just completely mental.

I think it goes to show that a lot of office-based employment activity comprises spending a lot of time getting to and from work, then spending much of that work time participating in pointless meetings. Maybe one thing to come out of this will be people realising that much of it is not actually necessary, and businesses can still operate when all this nonsense doesn't take place.

I can think of some at work who spend the vast majority of time in pointless meeting, maybe they will realise what a fraud they are and resign

In a week where selfish & stupid people have fought each other over bog rolls - and looked after number 1 - without thought for others...nice to watch Sport Releif surge past £32m in donations ...

Is this not a telethon to raise money for cure research?

I prefer the Charlton Heston version of the movie adaptations.

The Italian link doesn't seem to have deterred people from ravaging the country's pasta stocks.

It's been in Italy first, so Italian food will be the first to build a natural immunity!

Peed off I can't sort out the flights for me and my daughter, it was cycling Bilbao - Malaga in May.

The closure for 15 days, of all bars, clubs and pubs in the Valencia province, is producing comedy gold on the Benidorm Tripadvisor forum.

At work I now have to wear a mask all of the time in A&E, that's rattled me as I think they are useless and they cause to me to touch my face far more than I would without one. I've asked to be moved to another dept. Several staf with health issues have already gone on the sick. I am so manly that I won't know that I've had it.

Presumably you can blab about stuff just not your hospital and coronavirus?

That probably covers it.....
