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

I've heard that the sorting office in N19 is pretty overwhelmed. Post is still coming through but it may be delayed and they're trying to prioritise medicines, etc

Says he has had symptoms 24 hours but was out on the street clapping with Sunak last night /eyeroll

Post here in south London seems normal, I got my apocalypse preparation Scabz patches through yesterday.

I'm due some brake levers from Bergamo, expect they may not be in a hurry to deliver those.

Yes but first class post is a bit delayed. Something posted in London (to London) only arrived today.

It’s an awful situation. There’s not enough single sex accommodation and little provision for people with dogs etc.

Our postman said they’re doing letters every other day because they’re snowed under with parcels. This is in the north mind.

The PM and the heir to the throne? Yeah, no idea either.

Think I've had post everyday this week. Today a bank statement and a magazine from my other half's professional association that she will never open.

Aviation fanatics: You can only land small stuff at London City Airport

Also, updating aerial photography or something else?

If the rest of the parks aren't also closed by the weekend I will be surprised.

Until you realise that Raab is due to step into the breach.

Remember back in 2016 when we were all like “imagine if trump is president and boris gets to be prime minister” and that was the worst thing we could think of? We were so innocent and naive back then, like precious little children

Doesn't sound very essential. I hope Derbyshire Police send their drone over.

Will PM you about this.

I'm more curious now...

I actually reset my ADSB today because I thought it was a fault!

Received 50k ADSB messages from that plane this morning.

Nothing curious, just assumed it was a fault as it was such strange behaviour. See my post above. Just didn't want to flood the thread with plane geek stuff.

Perhaps the pilot is protesting about lack of Richmond laps.

How come Charlie Windsor and Johnson have no problem getting a fucking test anyway?

Matt Hancock now. If it gets to Cummings then...pitchforks out.

For plane geeks: Whoever owns G-INTV is clearly not following the lockdown either.

who’s in charge if he is hospitalised?

Gove is taking over the daily update. As usual with members of a Tory government, it's difficult to decide who's worse, Gove or Raab.

I'm currently getting triggered by all the people our way coming back from the shops using nice shiny new looking plastic bags for life. It's like a mini-endemic all of its own.

Presumably, there are people who use crazy things such as backpacks or trollies to carry their shopping and I'm just getting annoyed by self selection.
