Would that be the one beginning with a M?
If so makes sense as it’s all set up for rehab already

Nope - just up the road from there towards the M1 though
Hers specialises in stroke/neurology rehab.
Just been talking to a nursing friend of ours her husband is a ODP. He’s now been moved to work in ICU. Everyone is totally terrified. They just don’t have enough PPE.
The gowns they have are backless so they are having to wear aprons backwards to try and cover the gap.
He was asked to clean out the clinical waste in the air lock. That’s the area staff remove PPE between the red zone and outside world.
so a highly infectious area. He was told he was ok to wear just gloves and apron.

Is it too geeky to enquire if the picture is from Earthsock?

You will pay what it is decided you have to pay! Unless you falsify your earnings.

Or is it that imported workers with less knowledge of UK employment law are still willing to work for minimum wage but can be charged over the odds by their employer for effectively-tied accommodation, food and travel? Some firms say it's not tied and you only have to be at the pick-up point for transfer to the day's work fields at about 6am - which just happens to be in the middle of bleeding nowhere yet right next to a hostel they have a hand in.

Of course the war isn't going so well. It's been going on for a long time. We have always been at war with Eastasia.

You know, I have actually looked into this - us bloody foreigners would do anything for work, innit
because I'm currently furlong from my main job.The site I looked at, though, stated that they were fully staffed till the end of May.
None of the Scottish farms advertising were near me.
Accommodation would be shared: what would be the point of me having escaped the virus till now, then go and look for it??
Another thing, the offers were for the duration of 3/4 months: well, I was hoping my employer would reinvent his business model well before that timeline, so we can start trading again.

Antibody test validated, production starts on 5 million of them. Report in French: https://www.rtbf.be/info/regions/li...lides-zentech-lance-la-production?id=10483496
"The Liege company ZenTech is going to start its production of Covid19 tests. Specialists in immune system illness test kits, ZenTech have, since the start of April, developed a serological test permitting fast detection of the presence or not of antibodies against Covid19. The process must still be validated by the medical world. 500 of these tests have therefore been put at the disposal of Liege CHU [ed: University Hospital Centre - if I recall correctly] and after rigorous analysis, the results are very positive.
"5 million tests
" 'The challenge being both urgent and major, we will support being able to respond as quickly as possible to essential needs of care institutions and organisations in matters of screening their personnel and patients in Belgium', underlined Jean-Claude Havaux, President-Founder of ZenTech, 'that allows us not to be subject to embargoes or delivery delays from customs restrictions.'
" It will be the Ateliers Jean Del’Cour, a specialist Liege business that occupies itself with the conditioning of these test kits. A conditioning chain will be installed on site.
" Production was launched this Thursday morning. Over the next four weeks, ZenTech should achieve the rate of a million tests per month with the objective 'to manufacture 5 million serological fast tests. And we apply ourselves at the moment to build our stock of raw materials to be able to produce the extra quantities which will be needed for the rest' assures Jean-Claude Havaux.
" The test doesn't detect if the coronavirus is present in the body, but rather if the person has had an immune reaction and has developed some antibodies. It gives a result in 10 to 15 minutes."

This story gets stranger. https://plus.lesoir.be/294903/artic...giques-fabriques-en-belgique-disponibles-mais says that they are not yet authorised for use in Belgium, despite the validation and start of mass production. I guess someone will buy them if Belgium doesn't?
