Coronavirus outbreak

Is this

the £1m question !!

So when will this be all over? I'm bored of it already.

When we're all dead..... and i expect being dead is even more boring.

I have heard talk of up to 18 months before we are finally out of this.

If there is any chance of undoing the potential damage done by the antics of the weekend, then yes.

Immediate ordering of 3 million test kits?

No eggs though, wonder why people are stockpiling those.

Suspect it follows on from last week's fruit shortage along with any flour shortages that, are in order to use the far too much fruit bought, people are busy making them into pies to fill there brand new second, third fourth...freezer with. Certainly both my nearest Aldi on Saturday and Lidl today had them but Sainsbury's were clean out.

I think it’s based on the mean time till symptoms appearing being about 5.5 days after getting the virus. So after 7 days it’s 12.5 days and I presume they also have to be free of symptoms? But yes we were wondering why the difference.

Yes that was stated on TV tonight, the incubation period for catching from the family house member who has it.

A good idea that is happening in Ripon is people displaying a green card in their front window to say they are okay and changing it to red when they need assistance, the first red card was apparently someone needing some food for their cat.

Well I am sure that would help, but as with everything in short supply at the moment rustling up that number of kits is easier said than done. This of course highlights why it was so silly partying over the weekend. Not doing that would have bought time perhaps.

You know how randomn things drop into your head from time to time, if we go on full lockdown, will there be an amnesty on MOTs?

Glad it's not just me. On a not dissimilar theme, my car keeps insisting on telling me it wants servicing in 4,000 miles time, which is a reasonable time away. However, many vehicles will be due much sooner, so what happens to 'strict' service timetables and the like, and warranty validation if they go over? Trivial at the present I know, just idle musing.

I was supposed to be getting a new car delivered next month. Think I'll still get it?

 

[roubaixtuesday]

unfortunately this crisis makes me lose faith in many humans, the slashing of ambulance tyres, the stealing of food for a school setup for keyworkers, some people are a total disgrace I don’t even class them as human.

The lessons of history and indeed literature show that human nature has not changed.

See the Bible, Shakespeare etc

Bollocks to your useless 4 wheeled lump of metal.

I'm supposed to go and pick up a new bicycle next month!!

Will that be allowed???

Let's get our priorities sorted here!

Sadly some of the scum out there have already been trying to take advantage of preying on the elderly. At first I thought this was a good idea, but it’s sadly open to abuse.

Is that with home made pastry and is it just a filling with a lid.
if it’s no to the 1st I will give it miss and if it’s no to latter then it’s not a pie
