Re: Lockdown?

I was invited to a meeting last Monday at work with about 13 other people, all the major players on the project I'm working on ATM. Got an email on Monday saying that 2 of the attendees of that meeting are "showing symptoms" so all have to self-isolate! Luckily I didn't actually attend th...

We've been sent home with immediate effect due to the coronavirus pandemic. Company have decided to embrace Boris's deal and will be paying me 80% of...

Re: Will there be food shortages in the UK?

I'm just listening to today's press conference, and there's a very clever analogy spreading, comparing the current spike in purchasing to Christmas! Yes, I saw that too - I've never seen empty shelves like we're seeing at Christmas, though, have you? :? Never! And it's never gone on for so long, ei...

Re: Will there be food shortages in the UK?

Re: Lockdown?

so this from the bbc; "The major downside of herd immunity, according to Birmingham University's Prof Willem van Schaik, is that this will mean that in the UK alone at least 36 million people will need to be infected and recover. "It is almost impossible to predict what that will mean in t...
