On Panic buying.

Nurse John is scathing:

And yet again crowds stranding close together, many older people entering a crowded shop is the worst thing to do. We'll be climbing the curve faster and faster, a national death wish with the government egging everyone on.

My daily observation of my local Iceland being rammed while the surrounding small grocers are almost empty led me to ask a person what they were shopping for:
'Flour and Onions'
I was carrying some veg and rice from the local empty grocer and suggested she tried them. She said she hadn't though of that. They did have onions and flour

Let me know if you hear anything else as I also have mild asthma

People are scared, they don’t know what to do, they just copy everyone else

I've finally been told I can work from home ........

Funny seeing him turn to the scientists when he was asked that question and they almost forced him to answer rather than them as they clearly didn’t want to put a time scale on it.

Low Cost Food on Brixton road/Loughborough Rd lights was pretty well stocked if anyone needs supplies

Will do.

Here or the epic win thread.

Just got an email from Barclays - not charging any interest (including on cash advances) for 90 days.

First case confirmed here last night.
The panic is ridiculous.

Can someone tell me why cycling on your own outside for exercise is frowned on

Over-exertion can lead to immunocompromisation

Speaking of immunocompromisation, it's amazing how many stupid fuckers you see out and about smoking. Ugh, just die already.

:(

Got stopped at customs, had my passport and all my paperwork taken from me and put in a side area for half an hour. Eventually 4 police came back and my German partner was allowed to talk to them and she persuaded them to let me in.

There was another guy that got stopped and he wasn't so lucky.

So are we allowed to cycle or not, it's not rain here in Devon for once.

Anectdata confirming that: ran last night. Temp raised shivering.
Now in isolation.

Ugh, just die already.

if folks wanna spark up that's their business. there's enough grimness in the world without you wishing death on them.

Sign of seriously weird times when you find yourself agreeing with Piers Morgan

For now, yes, recreational cycling is ok.

(Most of the cycling discussion here concerns the stricter limitations that have been put in force in France and Spain.)

Cheers buddy

Wow that spring breakers video on the bbc 🤦‍♂️

Fuck. Heal up fast.

running is for the undead zombies.

Now this I'm actually looking forward to.

Ta. Should be fine.
