    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Got to be honest, this guy seems like a bit of a crank with a habit of self publicising through edgy views: Karol Sikora - Wikipedia

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    If anything we locked down too late, we’ve had a similar curve to Italy compare that to countries that locked down earlier and have seen far far fewer deaths. In terms of managing healthcare capacity it seems to have been a success, if not in terms of limiting deaths. There’s been two...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Again, no no one in this thread had coronavirus in December unless you were visiting Wuhan at the time. There are tons of respiratory diseases kicking around at winter. There is no suggestion we had an outbreak last year, that article is talking purely about China and is speculating a three...

    Thank you all and maybe goodbye

    You ok mate? Don’t do anything silly. I’ve been there after the divorce, ended up on the phone to the Samaritans. It’s never as bad as it seems. Call someone. There’s always a chance at redemption dude.

    Quitting smoking

    Yeah I went mental on it when I vaped. I could “smoke” indoors and there’s no logical end to a “cigarette” so you just go and go.

    Time to end the TV licence?

    Still better than the local alternative TBH. I seem to remember Mercia commentary made CWR look like... some good commentator guy. And the news is better than the CET. That is what commercial local news looks like, constant ad traps and click bait shite.

    Time to end the TV licence?

    The whole reason BBC output is such high quality is it isn’t beholden you advertisers and has a public service ethos. You can’t just make it ITV and expect it to maintain quality. Market forces will drive it to lowest common denominator quickly.

    Quitting smoking

    Just had a mate over to clipper all my hair off, came very close to asking for a drag of his fag when he sparked up but didn’t give in. Feeling very proud of myself.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Shouldn’t that be Dominic Raab? Abbott’s thing is maths (actually it’s diabetes but still) it’s Raab that didn’t realise Dover was important for continual trade. Also, I say Johnson is dim and people rally round saying he can’t be because he got a degree in Classics from Oxford after having...

    Think you can wash them. Or are you talking about the aprons they wear over scrubs? Edit: confusing gowns and scrubs. Daz makes more sense.

    When All This Is Over ?

    Can you take cashless payment mate? Might be an idea, or let people run up a tab or something. Other than that I don’t see what you’ve got to worry about other than hurting old ladies feelings when you turn down a cuppa.

    Time to end the TV licence?

    Their educational and kids content is so far ahead of even the next closest thing it’s not even funny. Even if you wanted to shut down the BBC as many of the cranks left and right seem to want to these days, there’s an obvious case for keeping the educational and children’s content going...

    When All This Is Over ?

    Eh, I have several video calls each day and TBH I work in an environment where pretty much everyone is in their headphones and laptops most of the day cos you need to focus. I’d rather talk to my kids and mates than my coworkers.

    It wouldn’t. Even at 95% specificity it’d leave too many false positives when done at scale. Best estimates are <10% of the population have been infected already, so it’s needle in a haystack finding them. I think maybe age or industry related returns. But I think the idea of antibody...

    When All This Is Over ?

    We’ll go back to how we were but I wish we’d keep the working from home and general local community spirit.
