Coronavirus - hype or pandemlc?

[StMarks]

and now I feel guilty for not remembering .....

Lol, you've no reason for that mate.
I'm utterly unremarkable & forgettable, and besides afaik you were entirely unaware of my identity at the time that I briefly interrupted your concentration..

And it finally hits home...
Fire Dept. & Paramedics just leaving the house right now with the house manager (I'm in a sober living house).
Male, 60+ years, several underlying health conditions including diabetes, displaying all the fun Covid-19 symptoms. Collapsed this morning...and to be honest it's lucky I was there to see him do it - pure chance....otherwise he'd probably still be laid out as he doesn't have the strength to raise his voice right now, much less his own body-weight.

Fingers crossed you and the other house mates are not infected mate.

My thoughts too.
As you've been a smoker, and both your health and age are factors, the news coming from California is rather concerning.

The very nerve.

Like the rest of us you aren’t getting any younger and you profess too have half a pack for breakfast, I’d be concerned if I was in your position.

[D41]

Half a pack?? Of cigarettes ????
Hell....I go through half a pack of LIGHTERS

Ahhh! Pepys was the dude who wrote a book about The Great Fire Of London also.
Didn't know he'd written other stuff....but The Great Plague was around the same time, so it makes sense.

I'm not a subscriber so can't read the whole article, but a really interesting insight suggesting coronavirus variants have been around for a lot longer than we may have thought. Be interesting to read the whole article.

Furloughed due to covid-19 and worried your going to be made redundant, worry no more. The government is bribing your company to keep you on.

Bribery just to hide unemployment numbers. How long does an employer have to keep an employee employed for if they take the bribe.. sorry.. incentive?

[Kwacky]

It's a very quick calculation to work out if it's worth bringing someone back for a grand.

I see JLR are making 2 out of every 5 of their agency staff redundant. Its time the fiasco of agency staff was stopped.

Gyms to open at the end of the month

Tattooists can start work next week, which is great news as I've got one booked for Friday

[D41]

Whatcha gettin'??

I was hoping gyms would open sooner tbh.

Strange how pubs are open before gyms imo
I can get pi$$ed at home but training is more challenging

Funny. I find training easier, especially now working at home.

I've got a bike, a turbo trainer, and zwift. That with the running is the cardio sorted. I also picked up some weights and as I don't do heavy stuff, mainly body weight which is heavy enough. That does me. Kitted the shed up with mains electric and the gym is sorted.

I can't train at home. I've not got the inclination nor the motivation.
