Coventrian and Lurker are excluded, I don’t want to end up chatting to a probation officer on a Friday night

We should get a member on here who’s BAME. That way they could re-enacts Black Klangsman. Yes-ah.

More bluster from Hancock.

Constant talk of ramping up testing and increased PPE yet nothing to show for it.

Talking about how much capacity we've got to make more PPE. Great, we might finally have enough just in time for when this virus hit six weeks ago.

Yeah but would you rather live in Italy.

Not been into a supermarket since the lockdown but was in boots yesterday getting some hay fever treatment and they had. Food, medicines and stuff like shampoo, deodorants, family planning only. All the isles with electrical goods, designer perfumes and gifts all cordoned off.

That's their choice for staffing reasons

Erdogan is generally an absolute shithouse but you have to say this is a nice gesture from Turkey...

I like Hancock, comes across well, but weren't he talking about PPE weeks ago?

I know at work we have a turn around of about 2 days from a delivery to using a product, which would explain the lag with the sudden urge, but surely they could have got supply lines in place for the additional by now.

Unfortunately we make fuck all in this country now and Trump won’t let 3M distribute their medical grade face masks outside the US. So much for being at the front of the queue.

It’s because you look like Ant or Dec. Can’t remember which one.

Neither can I. Is supposed to be the pissed driver one. We do have similar colour hair. But I suppose a complement as he is younger than me.

Why can't we make these masks ourselves? It's surely just layers of different material stitched together.

Depends which type you need. They are rated for their usage. We use them at work all the time. It is strange that we can get a supply but the government has a problem. OK we don't use as many as the NHS needs. But we have a constant supply.

 

[Grendel]

Been.in the vicinity of several people who've had to isolate or had the virus, has hopped from his Westminster abode to his second home (not his family home) and then to his vulnerable parents.

It is his family home

As they were war gaming pandemics back in 2016 surely they could of had a decent stockpile

I use FFP3 masks myself on a daily basis. They're a bit of material with a valve and a couple of straps, as long as you get the materials you could easily churn out a decent amount.

Don't know what the NHS would need though.

Face masks for intensive care workers are not what’s required

Quick Google has a N95 masks as an equivalent FFP2 with a surgical masks rated below that (I'm guessing that's because they don't seal around the face).

N95 masks are us produced and trump is stopping them being shipped out of the us

 

[Otis]

Sounds like a plan. Everyone needs to give someone else on here 5 of their contacts, then when we all have a list we neck a few cans and dial away. Good luck whoever gets to give The Lurker their contacts .

There will clearly be an Abdul, Leroy, Mohammed and a Mr. Wong. The 5th contact will be a bloke called Knuckles.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Yeah these ones apparently. I thought she meant the tablets at first when she said keep out of direct sunlight and joked “haha me or the tablets” and she looked dead serious and went “you, your skin will burn”.

Quite an intense pharmacist TBF.

I was told that as well after an infected insect bite. Middle of bloody summer too!

 

[Sick Boy]

Regions have been delivering PPE to residences across the country, it was suggested it was a lie though

Althoough this lockdown is making time distort it does seem like they've been talking about ramping up testing and PPE for weeks. When do we stop talking about it and actually do it?

It does feel like we are in a Samuel Beckett play.


Coventrian will not understand that

They need to take back control first

Social distancing Irish style

 

[skybluetony176]

It is his family home

He won’t be going back to London then. Surely he can work from home, afterall isn’t that what they’re getting an extra £10K in expenses for.

They’ve had one of them in Cahir for years now.

Is trump a complete tosser!!! Goes from fake news to our aggressive action will mean it’s all ok

He keeps talking about the TV ratings for his daily Coronavirus news conferences like it’s important and solely down to him being on. Maybe it’s because his approval rating is falling like a stone so he can’t talk about that. A complete narcissist.

 

[westcountry_skyblue]

He was correct about banning Chinese flights straight away though unlike us.Big mistake imo

 

[westcountry_skyblue]

Steve Hedley needs to retract his comment to,All the privileged freebies he gets,He needs sacking and forced to apologise in person to Boris along with that labour mayoress in Derbyshire.
Fcuking disgrace!!
I thought we were all in this together???
No matter what political preference!!

 

[Ring Of Steel]

We are unfortunately still some way away from the peak

It was a publicity stunt. The virus was already in the country weeks before when he was declaring the virus as the democrats new hoax. It was a classic case of locking the stable door after the horse had bolted.

The RMT have fuck all to do with Labour and the councillor from Derbyshire has been expelled from the party.
