Chat about Novel Coronavirus - 2019-nCoV - COVID-19

I just asked my mate. It wasn't WeWork he used it was Central Working.

"IWG are buying them out and are dealing with the administrators. The closed our office and the one near Liverpool st"

Is it socially acceptable to punch someone who says “I’m supposed to be in self isolation”

No, you should avoid contact and stay a metre or two away. Try using a long pole or possibly a pike.

Eastenders is cancelled. Britain is officially over.

Also, met my self-isolating neighbour as she popped out for a pilates class this morning - 'the gym will close soon and I'd better get my money's worth'.

Latest from Leen Vervaeke as she emerges from her second quarantine in China (first in Wuhan, second on return to Beijing):

She reports on strict ongoing mass testing n tracing but also on what she describes as resurgent optimism as some restaurants reopen, but adds that members of the public keep banging on about how the forrins are the weak link in efforts to prevent a second wave from occurring.

"namaste"

True that.

And we haven't seen what Brexit will really look like yet.

I'll just quote my old mum bless her : "nothing good happens on a leap year".
We've all been warned.

Stay safe everyone.

She's exercising her immune system

Only if you're wearing gloves?

went for a 30 minute run to shake off cabin fever, got back, am now a bit cough-y, feel fine otherwise. this is it, isn't it?

I went out yesterday and came back sniffly with a dry, itchy throat. I'm fine now so I assume my hayfever is kicking off.

Only if filling your lungs over and over with cold air doesn't make people cough... oh

i say "run"...

I went out yesterday and came back sniffly with a dry, itchy throat.

Same, put it down to cycling through the Rotherhithe Tunnel a couple of times.

It seems that Micky missed 13 years of New Labour's authoritarianism.

^^ FFS, I appear to be defending the tories.

If it makes you feel better, every time I'm on the turbo I'm sure the neighbours think I'm dying with all the forced breathing, coughing, nose blowing, etc.

far right propaganda sheet

Did lol.

It's preferable to the other options.

Was just in Lewisham Tesco. People wandering around with masks or scarfs over their mouths.

Watched with delight as a cashier refused to sell an entire case of monster munch to somebody who was stockpiling high fat snack food. Looked like she had cleared them out of cheese strings too although didn't stick around to see whether they sold her those

Lots of vegetables, potatoes, bread, frozen veg. No toothpaste, mouthwash or paracetamol

They stopped someone buying a ton of uht milk when I was in there yesterday too. Max of 5 per customer - good to see this is taking place

Says a lot about British dietary preferences... Panic buying monster munch over staple, nutritious food.

My girlfriend is going to try to travel up here ASAP. Being squished together in a 35m² flat might not be as nice as we hope though. But the alternative is not seeing each other for months.

If the quarantine goes on for a more than a few weeks (which it 100% will) this'll be the longest continuous period of time we've spent together in 7 years. A real trial by fire

At my Tesco this morning the till system won't allow you to buy multiple items of whatever they deem to be essentail. So the till area has become the defacto storage point for the confiscated pasta, toilet roll and cleaning stuff.

It's carnage.

They are good though, every now and again.
