Coronavirus outbreak

Simple and to the point fabric mask mistakes maybe handy if you have kids.

^^^ I've so enjoyed walking on my local municipal golf course since lockdown started. Easily the most beautiful part of the part that it is part of. I'm sad to think that it is now out of bounds.

I've seen a few comments, I'm not saying here, that with a bit of common sense it's quite clear what Johnson is saying and that we should be capable of acting like adults and don't need every little detail spelling out to us, anyway...

On mask wearing...

View attachment 521912

Genuine question. If that is the correct way to wear a mask, why is it so often when hospital staff are seen undertaking, for example surgery, the mask doesn't cover the nose? It has puzzled me for a long time.
Separately, I see some people's cold turkey of fast food has reached breaking point. I was out yesterday and today and long queues, to the extent of causing traffic problems on an A road, were created by cars queuing for a Burger King drive through.

We could just close the NACA section and post Marina Hyde articles.

You miss one universal credit meeting and your benefits are stopped; you miss five Cobra meetings and you get to address the nation on its working responsibilities from a drawing room so vast you’d need a hansom cab to traverse it.

Rode past a local golf course today. It was rammed about 40 cars or so and car park full.

A witty poster. Good message. I haven't met anyone yet who breathes through their underpants -well not IN anyway. I can't answer your question about particular hospital staff wearing masks incorrectly. Even pre COVID -19, most hospital staff would be very well aware of cross infection risks.
As for Burger Thing, you've started MY cravings now!

From the BBC:
A newly-reopened Burger King drive-through in Moray had to close due to long queues of traffic.

The burger chain recently announced the reopening of dozens of stores for a mixture of drive-thru and food deliveries.

However, police had to go to the branch in Elgin on Wednesday.

Police Scotland said in a statement: "Police attended after large amounts of traffic. The store closed and traffic dispersed."

( @mjr )Well that's a fair point - but it will take us a long time to find that out, I think? And we do need to move forward on SOME basis.

If it IS going to just stay around forever, then we'll just have to deal with that scenario once it becomes clear - I'm not sure that total lockdown until we die out to due to inbreeding is a useful strategy!

We do have to move forward on "some" basis.

Get the infections low enough to implement track and trace seems to be the opinion of many experts.

I got a shock today, I've been asking and asking for the figure for people absent in the hospital with Covid-19 as the reason for their absence, that is either sick or refusing to come in. I'd have guessed at about 50, but the figure was 380! Hospital functioning fine, as it is now pretty much a virus treatment centre.

From a very vulnerable friend who is Shielding:

Today’s entertainment has been the arrival (by text message) of a link to a video and a customised set of advice, from the NHS,
for me as a ‘clinically highly vulnerable’ person, with multiple conditions. Many people have obviously being doing a lot of work in order to co-ordinate all of this, as it provides clear advice and links to a huge range of sources of further information and support. I don’t think I have learnt anything that I didn’t know already but I am probably not an average patient.
Well done NHS

Hopefully the police will be out with big sticks and attack dogs this weekend -
