If there is wide scale social disruption, what good is loo roll if you dont have any food? Jokes aside though, it is abundantly clear to me that we are not able to contain this one. I suspect we will be close to 1000 confirmed cases by the end of the week. I'd whole heartedly recommend stocking up on the basics like food and medicines. Particularly now as supply issues have already started due to the 'panic-buying'. There has undoubtedly been scaremongering but anyone who suggests this is purely scaremongering is mistaken. Look at Italy - 6 million people being quarterentined as we speak. The death rates from Italy where healthcare is generally quite good have been higher than what has been *reported* in China. The incidence of bilateral interstitial pneumonia is also far higher. Perhaps no surprise. It's still very low for the young and healthy (1%) but as the total average is 6%, naturally on the other end of that scale the elderly and sick are up at around 9-10%. In an NHS that was already at crisis point, a proposed 30% of the population requiring healthcare for a new issue is going to be very difficult to handle. Expect the next couple of days to show no acceleration in confirmed daily cases in UK and then an enormous spike. Just a hunch... If memory serves you work for the nhs , if so may i ask a few questions, im not trying to be a scaremonger am i right in thinking that this virus at present has no cure, and as the advice has been if you think you have it to sit tight and not visit your gp or hospital, then how are people tested. If what weve been told is true then if your unlucky are you left at home to sit it out.

Isolation guidance is also poor. Self isolate if you've been to a hot zone or if you've been in contact with a co formed case. But those that have been in contact with those self isolating recieve no guidance. And we know you can transmit it when not showing symptoms. So some of those self isolating will be passing it on to those in close proximity. And they my friend are in the supermarket buying loo roll. Correct. Just look at the cruise liner experience. Everyone isolated in their cabins, and yet practically everyone on board ended up with the virus! Is that because as mentioned in another post by ob the staff bring in food etc to cabins are those buying bog roll, i think this so far has shown its almost impossible to contain the virus

This virus is obviously worse than the Chinese have let on. The speed at which China locked down cities and provences indicate they knew what they were dealing with, with the obvious follow on question, is this something that escaped from their lab? Containment is impossible. Even today there are regular flights into and out of Northern Italy, with no medical checks at places like Heathrow for those coming in.
Isolation guidance is also poor. Self isolate if you've been to a hot zone or if you've been in contact with a co formed case. But those that have been in contact with those self isolating recieve no guidance. And we know you can transmit it when not showing symptoms. So some of those self isolating will be passing it on to those in close proximity. And they my friend are in the supermarket buying loo roll. Someone mentioned this to me the other day his particular example was delivery drivers, for example food and bog roll deliveries to your house, we had a delivery on sat and it was business as normal by that i mean we have been told the virus has a short lifespan out of the body. However habits formed over many years mean you will still take a crate or bag off the driver without thinking ,i think for many that will be the hardest part of avoiding contact as it is an almost automatic response. Another issue with self isolation is at some point some will need to go out to get food etc, as not everyone can use online services for various reasons, people can only stay at home for a limited time as if people cant get to work how will they get paid etc. I was going to mention the mentality of some as you mentioned bog roll, i did laugh (gallows humour) at the images of supermarket with no bog roll left but there were a few rolls kitchen towels left, you can just imagine someone getting their knickers in a twist as the bog roll was gone not realising you can cut a kitchen roll in 1/2. Will those people panic buying be able to ration what they have food wise for a few weeks or will it be they will eat more like at xmas when those same people panic buy for two days when the shops are shut.

My company has banned all business travel. Teams at the central location have been split up and are now working from either two or three locations. Also, a team of engineers have been to my house to install a PC with five monitors in my man cave as it is expected that we will all have to work from home pretty soon. The seven P's, Proper Planning & Preparation Prevent water Poor Performance.
Not to be outdone by Nobby, I have had 7, sees his 5, monitors installed at home. Now, the question is, wtf do I do with them. 1 can open doors, one can bring tea and crumpets ,one can bring cucumber sandwiches ,the other four can clean your house ,or if you mean computer moniters you could always stick em on the walls in my house

Stu like many things sustainability can be introduced tomorrow but like other things and technology, there probably isn't enough money in it for it to go mainstream. I asked several people about what they would give up to help etc, most when pressed wouldn't change anything ,it seems a lot of people are attached to those little luxuries we dint have years back. If it require a slight amount of effort from some they wont do it, simple things like recycling get rid of use by and sale by dates, after a while food waste will drop by vast amounts
Another angle is if more people generated their own electricity ,the reality would be electric prices going up, which could be the reason for price hikes in recent years.
People keep on about greta doing good for the enviroment, many people don't even know the name Boyan Slat. He is getting his hands dirty and tackling some issues hands on

Garner: "To be judged as a manager, great advice I was given by a really experienced manager is you’re judged on what the condition of the club is when you leave. For me, if I left this football club tomorrow the infrastructure put in place will put this club in a stronger position moving forwards." WTF!? Cheers for the post pirate i just peed me self laughing

BG says today 'I’m constantly assessing everything here. Not just the players, but the staff. Who will take this his club forward, who’s got the desire to do well, who’s going to buy into what I’m trying to do?' Sounds like it's not just the players who might be struggling with our new managers methods. Must be a bit concerning to be told you are being assessed for 'buy-in' ? Why arnt some of our young uns playing like they did under dc Perhaps they have bought in ,thats if his agenda is to play in a lower league

Maybe that site is the conspiracy site, what i was trying to point out is that you cant rely on just one site ,to be the gospel on any particular issue, you need to see the arguments from both sides, the problem these days is that so many believe everything they read on the net and will not check out other sources.
Thinking back someone posted a link to something published on a right wing site, many people said im not reading that its from a right wing site so it will be bullshit etc, i found the same document on a left wing site and posted the link many then read the article from the new link but still refused to look at the same article on the right wing site, the article was written by the right wing site and copied in its entirety by the left wing site. This paragraph was to illustrate my point that many people only look at one side not both.
In the grand scheme of things the only way to allow the planet survive a bit longer is to wipe out the human race

If you want to find what google knows about you visit ( takeaway google com ) . Some will be surprised with the amount of data they keep hold of. Just visit the site login to google and follow the instructions on screen, you need to tick all the boxes for all of your data. Just think if google hold this much data how much is held in other social media apps

And that really winds you up does it? Do you think she may have recycled it or used it to set fire to a forest? Plastic would be a poor choice to start a fire in a forest. At least use a decent example you wet wipe plastic is a good way to start and keep a fire going in a forest (allegedly) ,varoius types of plastic are very flammable

Thing is though stu that site like many is one sided, tis a bit like the leave/remain websites that sprang up. The trick is to read sites that are both for and against climate change, the truth will probably be somewhere in the middle, the reality is that in the general scheme of things it matters not a jot what we do. Its the countries that take the waste we sell em be it general or toxic waste all we have done is appear to be concerned whilst bellyaching at places who just burn our waste, why arnt we and others boycotting those other countries that are destroying the rain-forest etc
