Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

Well that's my Jet2 holiday to Kos gone on 14th June, Jets2 cancelled all holidays until the 17 Jun at the earliest.

Now we have BBC reporters outside of St Thomas's reporters outside No10 and reporters at Westminster. Which bit of essential journeys has confused them.

Have you spotted where the Sky News reporters are as well as reporters of other news channels. I'm doubting that it's just the BBC.

Oh - hold on - LBC reporter outside St Thomas' reporting that the pavement outside St Thomas' is full of photographers and radio and TV crews...

and another fish returns to the water ;)

the right answer is probably it depends, based on what you want to play. pokerstars (uk client) probably the best option (especially if you want to play home games with friends etc) and offers the widest range of games, partypoker is now the number 2 site (but been a bit unstable of late), otherwise its the microgaming network via grosvenor or similar

I think re the reporters they are local ones who live in the area .
It’s why we are seeing ones we havnt seen before.
Not sure about camera crews though.

I'm seeing the normal main stream BBC reporters. Don't care where they live they are reporting on -----nothing as nobody's going to come out onto the pavement and give them a scoop. Their just repeating and regurgitating rubbish

Almost every single chinese takeaway near me has shut down , is this widespread across the country ?

Chatter sites are speculating that the majority of their food is sourced from china, not sure how true this is.

Of the two we use, one has closed indefinitely, the other appears to still be open; well, it hasn't got a notice up saying it is closed. Don't know about the third one in the High street.

I could understand them closing as I have heard of people refusing to eat Chinese in case they get Corona Virus.

However the 1st prize for muppetry has to be those setting fire to 5G masts to stop the Chinese spreading Corona Virus via the 5G network. :rolleyes: The really scary thing is that they are quite possibly capable of breeding. :eek:

Seems to be business as usual at the third one.
 
The Covid 19 pandemic has affected me more profoundly than I might have imagined.
The shelter-in-place directive has, over a few weeks time, made me realize than quarantine is right in the sweet spot of my comfort zone.
I may get a little bored, perhaps, but for the most part, I'm really content veging out in the comfort and quiet of my home.
Should I survive the crisis, it may be difficult to get me out for anything more than walking the dog.

Soon as this is over you will be cleaning them grooves ready to go.
Just like the rest of us.
 
The brightside will be the Forum meet ups after sanity returns
I can't quite believe that GM will pay for everyone to go for a 3-day stay at Gleneagles with the field playing all 3 courses
They may even pay for overseas folk to travel - especially if its their 1st event
If true this is outstandingly generous and something to look forward to

I like your style(y)
 
Corona virus has affected me by highlighting the very best and worst in people. It humbles me when I see what some have done for others.
