Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

There were some posts about the media reporting earlier. I believe this is a serious situation. Along with the popular stats, wouldn't it be useful to have a sense of what the average mortality rates are across the counties to better sense how this situation is adding to it? Maybe some better researched forummer knows this.
 
So I have another observation, maybe trivial or overthinking etc, but, lots of posts about the risks of swapping scorecards etc on the course, yet Dominoes, MacDonalds and lots of other places that use cardboard are offering drive thru and delivery services.

Is there a risk of passing it on via cardboard/packaging etc?

That’s not the point, could of put money on you or wolf answering with that. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Just one of the confusing messages coming out though!
It’s ok supposedly protecting the people, but they need facts, not pointless myths.

Lots of other things come in cardboard, ie Amazon parcels.

@Wolf is a Royal, half hour behind everyone else :love:
 
I heard a medical person of some description on the radio saying that the virus can live on shiny surfaces for as much as 72 hours but cant stay alive on softer substances like clothes or cardboard for more than a few minutes..
Dont take that as gospel but that's what I heard the other day.
 
I’ve been around for many a year

Smoked cigarettes and drank many a beer

I’ve been crapped on, shot at and worked through the night

Done menial things and been in a fight

I’ve painted grass green and painted coal black

I’ve been to heaven and hell and clawed my way back.

I’ve been ordered around on the parade square

Learned from my peers just how to swear

Got letters from home including "Dear John”

So clearly for me, she wasn’t the one.

I’ve slept in the snow and eaten in rain

If it wasn’t for my health I’d do it again.

Ive slept in hotels and dossed down in digs

In fact many a place, not fit for pigs.

I’ve eaten many a meal that has often gone cold

And eaten slices of bread covered in mould

I’ve eaten with hands covered in grease and oil

Finger nails dirty from digging in soil.

I’ve used outside toilets just a hole in the ground

Then wiped my hands in a large leaf I found.

I’ve worn the same clothes day after day, hour after hour

Unable to wash, unable to shower.

I’ve slept in a room with men coughing sneezing

And farting like troopers and moaning and wheezing.

So tell me again, why all the fuss

Over this thing called the corona virus

I don’t give a monkeys, I just assume

As an ex Soldier, I think I’m immune.

Ya know this heard imunity thing BJ mentions . I kinda understand the theory behind it .. you let infection run to certain extent to help or encourage a better future imunity .. with such a small % been tested, how do they know when time is right to act. .

We have moved on from that as a strategy (and to be honest it was never really the main strategy) as new calculations this week worked out that it would kill 260,000 people. So we are now going for more isolation over a longer period that they hope will reduce the deaths to 'only' 20,000. Although from a few posts on here and social media it may well be more based on some people's attitude to the concept of social distancing.

You have me mistaken for the real spelling cop, he's already had me. Apologies if you thought I was having a go at you, I wasn't.

I didn't feel you had a go at me. It's more a general statement, if one can't attach the message for it's content find something else wrong with it.
 
All driving test centres are closed as of now for 2 days with further guidance to follow - which means they'll be closed for the foreseeable future....

I dont understand that tho . Its a complete turn around . He was told at start from WHO this was not way to go it was too risky . but wouldnt listen. Alot of similarities with trumps attitude .

Lòoking a some clips been retweeted on social media it stil seems a good few not taking it serious enough .

Teenagers over here treating time off like an ordinary school holiday despite been told not to .
