Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

I suppose if there was not cure of vaccine, research focus would move on to PPE for the general public. We may go out wearing masks etc but we would go out.

There’s enough bandits in my club ,we don’t want them wearing masks as well.
I am sure a vaccine will be found but it will take time.
But we don’t want to wait for anything these days ,everything must be instant.
Not saying I am happy being locked down, but the slower pace of life I like.

ever wore one? horrendous. i wonder how long it will be before the UK aligns with other nations as far as face mask goes. the sceptic in me says this will come when the NHS secures a stock pile first

Not a hazmed suit but I used to have to wear full body coverage, face masks, goggles, shoe coverings etc when I worked in a lab. That was only for about an hour at a time and it was awful - I was a sweaty mess within seconds.

How much would TaylorMade charge for the latest HazzzMedArmor 101 with 3% less shoulder movement restriction and built in tee holder?

CBRN suits are the worst thing to try an manoeuvre about in, let alone go to the toilet. That's before you consider the fact you sweat like a pig. No thanks I'd rather stay indoors.
 
I have posted my views on population here many times. I do have concerns about the words population and especially this country. I would like to see a World programme to do what ever we can humainly to reduce birthrates through education and contraception. However I do have concerns about the current trend towards ageism and particularly when people start suggesting that wiping out the elderly is a desirable policy.

Logan’s Run was a film about just that.
The sandman had a gun called The HOMER it hit every nerve in your body and you died in excruciating pain.
Not advocating that as in the book it was 21 yrs old ,but think the film was 30 yr old.
But your right the population is far to high.

gas tights are even worse. especially if you had a curry the night before. you cant smell anything as you're wearing breathing apaaratus but the look on your undressers face......... priceless ?
 
Hearing again today - this time from Dominic Raab when asked about supplies of PPE - about the 1,000,000,000 items of PPE that have so far been delivered during this period of crisis. Is it OK to ask how this is made up without being accused of being political? All very well telling us a huge number if 95% of that number is single-use disposable gloves.

Who on this forum do you reckon can give you an answer to that?

The most succesful way to reduce a countries birthrate is to reduce its infant mortality rate. As the infant mortality rate drops, so does the birthrate as expected life expectancy increases.

And Bill Gates is being attacked by conspiracy theorists who have interpretted this as meaning that Gates wants to give vaccines to kill babies. Sigh

Well, it depends on whether you accept that he's telling that to illustrate just what they are up against, or whether he's trying to reject charges of inefficiency.
That figure is looked upon as either
a terrifically high amount of anything. Just where do you get it that quickly?
Or
That's obviously not good enough if it disappears that quickly.

Whichever is accepted is a matter for each person. Only they know whether it is a politically motivated point of view.
