Coronavirus outbreak

[perplexed]

Apparently there was one of those posters doing the rounds in Bristol (same poster, just a different location on it). Bristol isn't my patch, are there others for other towns and cities about?

Edit: Yes, @Joey Shabadoo 's link says it's nation wide.

Good grief...

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

I want to know who is behind this. I know the tribe, it is a combo of anti vaxxers and other conspiracy minded loons but I want a name.

Oh no. It is not the tinfoil hat people. There is a website and on that website there is this.

Yes, I see it. Hiding behind the conspiracy guff, latching onto the anti vax people as used by others.

One of the pubs near here that turned itself into a village shop has started selling beer and cider from taps. I do wonder whether they'd let customers fill glasses.

Incorporated 14 days ago. On a WHOIS lookup the website was registered in 2018, looking at the website it appears to have had little traffic and has very little content. In a normal world if I was in the UK I would have gone along to heckle but its not normal so I can only hope that the flyers are roundly ignored by all but the usual suspects.

My sister tells me that her local does homemade pies by telephone order, you pick up your order from a counter in front of the main door and a polypin of beer or bring your own container.

Another anecdata point

Zoomed some friends in Cambridgeshire yesterday.

He works for a software company on one of the Science Parks near Cambridge. They share the building with 3 floors of Chinese engineers.

In early January, he went down with a nasty dose of flu - 3/4 days in bed with difficulty breathing, followed by a hacking cough for 3 weeks.

It's even got a forum, albeit empty. Good to see that the questions raised are taking the freedom movement seriously:

"Could my chihuahua be arrested and thrown in jail just for being english?"

"Do ants go to discos?"

"When did people start losing their brains?"

And my favourite:

"Is this a movement or just one man in his basement?" That one hits the nail on the head.

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.

Feck knows when I will go back in - if at all. Our classrooms have been used to accommodate those who can not WFH - and the courses I deliver are being shifted to e-learning. Loads of non clinical staff are working from home - loads of recruiting for people to work/cover on wards. !!!!

I fear I will be recalled back into project management - which I moved from as I was on the verge of a breakdown ! - looking a bit grim at the moment tbh !!!!
