"Lockdown 2 - The Virus strikes back"! having seen images of those desperate to shop, the only social distancing seems to be the gap between their ears.

Most of Europe is comfortably out of the first wave, the east Asian countries with reliable numbers are too, other than the USA and South America, which countries aren't out of the first wave?

First peak certainly, first wave, possibly not. Great article in National Geographic comparing past pandemics, like the 1918 Spanish Flu which actually lasted until 1920, and their patterns and peoples behaviour around them this month.

BBC East Mids interviewed an elderly lady in Derby yesterday, risking her life to go shopping. What was she after? Stuff to make Christmas decorations because there's not long to go. Pictures of idiots pushing and shoving to get into Nike, nearly all of them BAME! Don't these people read or watch the news! They could die for a pair of trainers! Illegal raves the police couldn't stop. No SD there. Frankly with behaviour like that the virus will be around for years and Darwinian selection will occur ridding the world of some fools but unfortunately killing a lot of other people as collateral damage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Have got to say, after weeks of relative isolation, we met up (socially distanced) with people on Fri, Sat & Sun because it was Mrs Wolfie's birthday weekend. On Sunday I came closer to a proper panic attack than I've ever been, since I suffered with anxiety 15 or so years ago. Not becuase we were doing anything that we shouldn't but because we were in the proximity of people for 3 days running. I'm in no hurry to go shopping but maybe I need to force myself once the intial rush has died down. I can see me slipping back into bad old ways and avoiding contact.

Eddie Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 I've still only been out once since March 23rd - for a drive last week. The last thing I'm going to do at the moment is join people who are dying to shop (or is that 'shopping to die'?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancel after the first delivery and it works out at £1.50 per bottle and the occasional snack. Almost always something you haven’t had before, and usually taste alright.

Comrade 86 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 A little ray of sunshine... Coronavirus: Dexamethasone being used to treat NHS patients today A life-saving treatment for seriously-ill hospital patients with Covid-19 is being used across the UK from today, following breakthrough results in a UK trial. Dexamethasone - a cheap, widely-available steroid - was shown to reduce deaths among patients on ventilators and on oxygen. The UK's chief medical officers say it should be used "with immediate effect". And there are no issues with supplies of the medicine in the UK. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-53077893 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EtoileSportiveDeDerby Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Had to go to London yesterday, was not too sure about driving or train. In the end, cost, parking, congestion charge went for train. Set off 9am, 8 carriages, 9 passengers in total, including 3 of us from same household. Tried to avoid tube but by the end of a very long day had to do it to get back to Euston station on time, I cannot remember seeing the tube this quiet at 8pm in zone 1. Judging by the streets of London, the country is not quite ready for business Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a pretty good service overall, just be prepared for when you want to cancel as they try and keep you on no matter what. It’s a pretty good service overall though, I’ve ended up persisting and I think I get more out of it than I don’t. The loyalty scheme is pretty good too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good to hear that it has been proved to be effective for Coronavirus. What we really need is a vaccine though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
