Faraway seems very certain about exactly what covid is and how it spreads. I'm sure he'll be along in a minute to reveal all.

Can't see this reducing the pressure on supermarkets. I have one of my men off, self isolating. The guys on the shop floor were running a book, he was red hot favourite. This is opening the door for malingerers, taking over from stress. On the supermarket thing, I'm way ahead of the pack, stocking up with alcohol. When pubs shut it will be like prohibition, I'll make a fortune. 🤧 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same as the "common cold" which is actually a great many variations. It happens occasionally in patients where the protective antibodies produced against the disease don't last as long as they do in other individuals. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saw a fella who's trolley was full to the brim with hand sanitizers, baby wipes, soaps, milk etc. Everything that people need!!! Prick 😠 Gave him a low down about the elderly and mums etc who need these types of things. Told him he ought to be f**king ashamed of himself!! 😠😠 He said "That's all well and good mate but i work here, can i carry on filling the shelves now?" 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
faraway saint 30,265 Report post Posted March 16, 2020 Another day, approx another 600 deaths world wide. Italy continues to see massive daily deaths, 349 today, a total of 2,158. Suggested in another thread is it because of the amount of elderly citizens, someone said they have a large percentage elderly. The UK, 1 today, that'll debunk the "doubling every day" pish spouted by some. Currently sitting at 152. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's brilliant to see you have your priorities straight. You're right about alcohol though. On a serious note, Instead of worrying about malingerers, be grateful you have a paying job. The first to crack will be those of us running our own businesses, trying to fathom out how to resolve the problem of sales halving (in my case) almost overnight. I am very luck to have no employees needing paid and have some reserves behind me to get through the next 4-6 months but this is already proving to be brutal and it's not really started yet. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While you have your own business I'm in charge of running somebody else's business. The effect of absenteeism has a direct effect on my ability to deliver. Aye, do you think the paying job money comes from the money tree? I know you always only think about yourself so I'll not bother trying to get you to see the bigger picture. I have every sympathy for every business, and this could be the end of many who are operating on a very short turnover period. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just saying it sounds like you're trying to point score a bit , don't mind speculation but I don't like the "told you it was nothing to worry about!" stuff, it's a pretty serious threat. Also there's a difference between worried about the direction things are going, and being hysterical / panic buying.
