We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
No, he was chairing a meeting with supermarket CEOs. Briefing was the one at 2pm
Sure it can still be easily abused, but it's a deterrent, it's more time consuming and not being able to just pile your trolley high means it gives others the opportunity to buy items too. But other than that keen eyed staff could clock these folk and stop them as well.
The school I work at, parents had to apply. There will be around 25 - 30 essential worker's children and those kids most at risk.
Maybe the pubs and clubs will actually fucking close soon.
I see pubs all around still open, still full of people.
Not sure, I dont have the overall figures at hand. I do think you are correct though. Its bloody significant for sure heh.
Further good news:
The problem with getting lots of NHS doctors and nurses out of retirement is that a lot of them are gonna be in the vulnerable category.
They are.
It's a sacrifice. Which is why they are truly heroes for doing so.
Hopefully they get the right protective gear and the government tests too because they aren't from what I heard from someone who works in hospitals.
There is also some who aren't really super old and just left when they cut jobs or the work load became ridiculous.
I heard at work the plan is not for them to be on the front line dealing with patients, more looking at xrays/results etc
Hopefully within each profession, they'll be categorized by prior role/skillset (cancer nurse, surgeons, etc), and within those categories assessed according to their own risk profiles (age, underlying conditions, smoker, etc), and then provided roles in the NHS accordingly. So they'll all fall into vulnerable categories by the nature of their ages, but the most vulnerable returnees are given roles in supporting the NHS away from Covid-19 work, which frees up some younger, less vulnerable current staff to focus on the frontlines.
Yup, Tesco is now doing 1 hour happy hour for NHS workers so at least we have a chance of getting some food in our household.
I think the logical answer to that is harsher lockdown measures. Because people aren't even giving it a chance to work, if only 50% of a developed country with a population of tens of millions listens, no wonder it's not working.
Friends of mine working in the local hospital still have zero PPE
Yep, a lot soured on their 10 year payfreeze too
If you look at the article published by the Guardian on Thursday it shows the lockdown cities were having an effect but they were still getting cases reported, from 23rd to the date of the article
My dad saw a report on Germany that a lot of deaths have yet to be signed of by coroners so their is a lag in the deaths they potentially have to covid-19 and the ones that have been confirmed.
i thought they were?
dont tell me people are going to church, or a mosque several times A day?
I can understand the people out and about gathering food, doing essential services, or people who literally just need to be out at work so that they can pay bills dont lose their house.
The people still going to gatherings, the pubs still open and still hosting people is upsetting though.
Italy just had almost 1000 deaths in a single day and their health system has more capacity than ours does.
It's like, do we need to actually get to 1000 deaths per day before these assholes do the right thing or can we do something now so.we dont have to get to 1000 deaths in the first place?
Part of the problem, I think, is that the number of deaths is a meaningless statistic to people - until it includes somebody they know/care about. Otherwise, it's still "someone else's problem".
you need equipment and ventilators for the most serious cases, not just a bed.
That is the plan I believe.
In South Wales they are opening a new hospital a year early, as its still under construction. Luckily it seems to be where there is a significant cluster of cases too.
absolutely right. And unfortunately I fear that they are going to get just this.
For sure- people moving around on their own, going to essential work, getting supplies etc etc is fair enough- you can do that and keep your distance. It's the idiots packing out pubs etc that are blatantly ignoring it
Still no update on number of confirmed cases though?
The problem I have with the number of deaths, is that its always going to be delayed.

"Another 53 people with coronavirus have died in England, bringing the total of deaths in the country to 220.
The patients who died in England were aged between 41 and 94 years old and all had underlying health conditions.
Earlier, two more deaths were recorded in Wales, bringing its total to five, and another death in Scotland, taking the number to seven
Northern Ireland has recorded one death."
Except if one of you have it, you basically guarantee both of you getting it (the ball).
Italy is also reaching its peak, which is a terrible one to reach, however in other areas of the country cases are levelling off or not having any at all.
The northern region is still the hardest hit.
Yes, the bill for emergency powers allow this.
Not even the pubs. People in stores just don't follow it at all.
Hopefully the panic buying will stop once people realise there isn't gonna be some hard lockdown.
Why was there no mention of fines? Also casino's seemed to be left off the list
Even if 650,000 people die, that's "only" one in a hundred. Sure, it's the equivalent of nuking Manchester, but I still think people would shrug it off because it wouldn't directly impact them :/
Went for a longish walk around north london today, and it was pretty deserted. That said, I was avoiding parks, but at least all the pubs and cofee shops seemed to have closed
Shit, the numbers are really starting to increase now, i dare to think where we'll be at in a week or two, terrifying
