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

I’ve always preferred a keyboard with a dongle to just pure Bluetooth, loses connection less and likewise the mouse is less laggy.

Interesting... I'll take a look. Then I'll throw the crrrent one out the window.

Ugh, link?

45% deaths in care homes now in NI they are sending NHS and dentists to help.

Normally between the two monitors. Video conferencing software on one screen, documents I'm working off on another.

But seriously 1/10 for anxiety inducing clutter!

I think I speak for everyone, plz post a photo of that cleared!

Meh. It's on the list of things to do. Just not very far up it. Doesn't bother me.

Because what we’ve really learned from all this is that we need to spend more time killing and otherwise interfering with wild animals.

Well, we'll see most of the other effects of the same kind of tendency in due course--most people will be desperate to go back to what they considered normal before the changes hit. That includes bloodsports and the like.

But... but... I thought this was gonna make everyone realise the error of their ways and we'd have won...

OK, I think we'll have to start with the birds and the bees ...

My neighbours have their family round... meanwhile in Suffolk my dad is celebrating his 70th birthday in quarantine. Fucking fair! Thanks for the muddy messages Bozza.

our neighbours are all having a street party, parents seem to have all gathered at one house while all the kids run around the street, morons.

people are taking the 2m as gospel, so long as you're roughly two meters from someone its fine, right?

Quite alright , by next week 30% will have a cough and become sick.

My belief is that they will keep the lockdown in place because ppl will break it on their own. Then some more. Then some. Each time people will get sick and some will end up in hospital. Which would be a whole lot better than if they remove it and suddleny they have the spike in hospital admittance.

Lockdown will continue for those that follow it.

Yeah honestly as things are going, some are behaving as if it was over anyway, so there's not really a good reason to relax the restrictions, at least from the pure pandemic perspective.

But people forget that some of those will die. They're putting theirs and their loved ones lives at risk for some group hanging out.

Worse. They are putting strangers and strangers' loved ones at risk.

My youngest spent yesterday feeling rubbish with a headache and slight fever (Max 101), then vomited in the evening. She’s woken up feeling much better and the fever is back under 100.

I’m pretty sure I know the answer, but as a household we now need to self isolate for two weeks, right?

I thought you needed to have a temperature and a cough?

I'd go through the NHS 111 symptom checker and see what it says. https://111.nhs.uk/covid-19/

Sky with some interesting info. Partially the cases per Borough for me.

nearly got into a barney on the phone with my GF yesterday when I mentioned there was an entire street out having a street party last night with roughly 100 people all just barely 2m from each other.

"well if they're spaced out, what harm are they causing"

decided to just agree we had different opinions on the matter rather than follow her down that particular rabbit hole.
