Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

I have put my PC to work Folding @ Home to work on the virus, did a Covid work unit earlier today!

Seems a good idea to have it folding in the background when the solar panels have full sun and electricity is pretty much free. With the good weather we are having its something I can do for a good few days yet!

Anyone else doing it?
 
Bergamo Mayor had two daughters studying in England, brought them back home as he thought they'd be safer there than in England, make of that what you will.

It’s not political. If you think my post is political you actually don’t get it. Many of the public clearly have to be forced to do what is required of us ONLY the PM can make that happen.

We have some nice days weather coming after a rubbish winter and early spring and many people will be at home now expecting 80% pay - many will be out enjoying themselves - ENJOYING themselves - because they are not being FORCED to stay indoors.

Even small number of days delay will cause many hundreds of lives to be lost unnecessarily - there can bo no further delay. Our PM has the power to make this happen He does not have to rely on the goodwill and common sense of the public. He MUST use that power without any further delay.

The USA has offered to help IRAN. Iran has turned down the offer as Iran has information from an unnamed source that the Covid virus is American made and is targeted to Iranian geneology.
Sweet mother these people are running countries.
Was on Fox news half an hour ago

Much of the UK (& this forum) clearly still do not get it

Pack it in with all these 'I just popped to xyz, I went to abc today, we were at 123 this morning.....

None of these are essential journeys guys!

Ask Hobbit, ask the Italian Outcast if you should still be doing these things?

Best of luck, you're gonna need it

Yip and people on here still think that it's acceptable to golf.

Utter madness. ( Other views are welcome)

I wish I could categorically say I wouldnt behave differently if there wasn't a mandatory lockdown here, I'm just not sure

But with a legal instruction in place to not go to work or even go outside without a permit, a curfew kicking in tonight and alphabatised days /time food shopping with ID cards etc. The other unessential journeys just don't come up

24 cases
2 deaths

Slab, thankyou very much for that post, ave spoke to IO, ave spoke to friends In Italy and quite frankly there *** scared. But at the same time have a mentality towards this us Brits just do not have ( at the moment).
Ave asked questions on here that I honestly dont know the answers to and am prejudiced.
And now it's got political. People post on here and some responses are simply "Bullshit". -Thats all that is written.
The same people that have been emptying shelves are the same people that buggered off to the seaside for the day. They just dont get it.
Always nice to see an outside view of how folk view us Holier than thou Brits.
Stay safe Slab.
Oh ah, me and missis T have had a little romantic walk tonight, seen a couple of racoons..Anyway she said " I fancy going back to Mauritius" ?
Flippin eck can we finish this one.
Well.written Slab.

I think re the golf Jacko we are between a rock and a hard place.
Golf England says it is ok to golf. But they have placed in restrictions..which I understand as they have expained it. But to some folk well they are the shelf emptying types and those that go to the seaside for the day. My course is open at home with a Covid case in the town next door. But on Thursday I was going to a course in mexico which had 250 cases, non of which are round here, but they shut tomorrow.
Golf will stop in this country when Boris thinks folk have proper extracted the urine. At which point folk will still point the finger at everyone else.

My playing partners walk down the fairways on lush short grass, I keep to the social distancing guidelines by experiencing the wild natural elements of a golf course, playing my balls from areas where the snakes & lizards reside, I get much more exercise and see far more than they do?

good god man don’t you get it. My comment is nothing to do with the politics of Johnson. This about the one man who can make the decisions that might save thousands of lives...including our own - he must make them when the stupidity and selfishness of tens of thousands is quite eveident.
 
Glad I didn't renew my country membership at Seaton as an each way 75 mile trip would be very difficult to justify as an essential journey. ??
Keep safe everyone & keep considering what is ESSENTIAL.

I get that Dave, but I still have to go to work and interact with possibly hundreds of people through the week putting myself and others at risk.
I'm on holiday today, the golf course is open and a mile from my house, the place is empty so I'm going up there for a game. My logic says it's safer playing golf than going to work :unsure:

That's my logic too.

I'm deemed a key worker and interact with at least 50 Europeans a day. I'd imagine a golf course with nobody withing 50 yards will be a safer place.

I'd consider just a few miles, low risk. I'm doing 5 myself today. Hobbit has to do 1/4 mile to his bins. Out of town trips are a definite no, no. Bad as the Snowdon nutters.
