It's an app that links up people in neighbourhoods. Ours has seen a lot of posts - dozens - from people offering to fetch groceries, cook, make breakfasts for kids.
I've always been of the opinion that most people are good and kind but don't often get the chance to show it. Now is their opportunity.

I was at first amused at the description of BJ when answering a question on the financial aspects of this bug that's going around, then thought to myself, Hey! This is the guy who is meant to be running the country

In related news I've remembered this morning that I am now the richest person in the UK. Years and years ago I bought a little box of those tablet soaps you get in hotels to use as part of dressing the showroom, but the kids kept throwing them in the working Jacuzzi bath I had on display at the time, it's a little dusty having been shoved in the warehouse for about ten years, but...
Hahahaha, bring on Armageddon!!

Brewdog diversifying from their usual brewing by producing high-alcohol hand sanitiser. Like Leith Gin, although they're having trouble sourcing bottles.
Have just watched the daily briefing from the Robert Koch institute, which is the place the buck stops at in dealing with the current pandemic, the source of information and coordination of measures to counteract it.
On the slightly brighter side, the current experience of the virus in Europe indicates it is not quite as lethal here as has been experienced in China. The estimate so far is that 1% (tempting to put only before it, but one death is a tragedy for a family) will likely die from the infection on average, increasing with age and existing medical conditions. 99% will therefore survive, and the symptoms for about 80% are not particularly bad. It does appear that once you have been infected you are immune thereafter.
Realistically, a vaccine is unlikely to be available until the beginning of next year. The spokesman hoped to be proved wrong.
On a much more sobering note, the speaker said if the population does not consistently adhere to the advice given by the institute and enforced by the Federal Government, washing hands and above all avoiding social contact, then within 2 to 3 months there could be up to 10 million people infected, with all the ramifications for overloading the medical system. In any event the numbers are set to dramatically increase, but it is possible to slow down the progress very considerably. The country has had two weeks warning to react before reaching the stage Italy is in at the moment.
Whilst the drastic measures adopted by France have not yet been implemented here, most social life has been closed down. My neighbour, who is a doctor, was asking me about measures in Britain, as it does seem to me (and her) the herd immunity strategy does run the risk of rapid and mass infection which the NHS will have to cope with.

Hello decadence
Here's an interesting one @Pale Rider and all you legal aficionados:

A defence lawyer appears to be going down with Covid19 and has been threatened with legal expenses by the judge if he doesn't turn up. The replies on twitter fit in two groups (i) barristers saying they'll appeal the fine pro bono (ii) people advising him to go to court and sneeze on the judge......

These people have peed me of since Sunday morning. MrsF and I have always shopped using 2 panniers or a rucksack, we did again this morning, our lives have not been unduly disturbed.
I would close all supermarket car parks to everybody except the elderly and disabled, that'd sort it, the lardy arsed lazy crackpot fatsos.

I’m struggling to get my head round the huge inconsistencies. The Church is now saying it doesn’t want anyone other than immediate family from attending a funeral service, but people can still wander round a crowded supermarket.

This policy of testing (or perhaps policy of not testing, even for NHS staff who have symptoms) is just unbelievable. Anybody knows what the actual policy is?
