TigerTedd Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 4 hours ago, ilkleyram said: Forgive my ignorance of your business TT but can you sell those same companies a slightly different Covid-19 product - a 1:1 (with 2 metre distance) training programme for those staff working from home but missing out on colleague interaction - keeping them mentally and physically fit. 4 weeks is a long, long time to be working from home if you're not used to it; any longer is a very, very long, long time We do get a few clients that are 1:1 in their homes, but it’s quite expensive for that, far more economical for a group of 8. The company that sells my services (so I’m self employed but mainly work for one company) is trying to sell the idea of remote training sessions, where they can dial into an online meeting room and we screen share, but it’s just not a priority for people right now, and they’re happier to wait til this all blows over, and book a training course then. so I’ll have more work than I know what to do with I’m a few months, I’m sure. Hopefully enough will take that option, and I might pick up a few hours of consultancy work here and there, to muddle through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's one hell of a stench and it's making people sick. https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2020-china-wuhan-pollution/ Quote Zhang—who spoke before the current outbreak of an unrelated virus in Wuhan—reserves her scorn for the local authorities and what she regards as their lack of willingness to protect people’s health. “The unexpected kidnapping made me lose faith again in the local government and how unreasonable they can be,” she said.

Where have I said otherwise? Fair point. Apology. I thought you were referring to the virus originating in the region. By the way, third time of asking, any response to my challenge to you regarding your claim of diverting NHS resources and your medical knowledge to question the severity of CV or are you conveniently deciding to ignore this?

So unfortunately they're dying of pneumonia and also Covid-19. That's a real pisser. I wouldn't dare cross the road tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The foul air of Wuhan province or this mysterious Covid 19? According to my workings out 'foul air of Wuhan' is currently 5,506 miles from Swad. At that distance I'm guessing that's the one I should pick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EtoileSportiveDeDerby Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I just thought if over 70's are to stay at home within weeks, What will happens to MP's over the age limit ? As for the house of lords they might as well shut it down for a while. We might see much of Queenie either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gee SCREAMER !! Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Newspaper Die Welt am Sonntag reported that Trump's administration had offered large sums of cash to Germany-based biotech company CureVac to secure rights for the vaccine work, "but only for the USA." The German government is battling back, offering financial incentives to the company to remain in Germany. Karl Lauterbach, a senior German politician and professor of epidemiology, said in response to the report: "The exclusive sale of a possible vaccine to the USA must be prevented by all means. Capitalism has limits." The newspaper said the German government is fighting back by offering financial incentives to the company if it remains in Germany. A German health ministry spokesperson told Welt am Sonntag that the government was involved in "intensive" discussions with CureVac about keeping the company headquartered in the UK. So the above means that the organisation with the current best chance of creating a vaccine for this thing is based in the UK, but is German and they are considering an option to make it exclusively avaliable to the USA market unless someone offers more cash. Look forward to seeing a product that could help the population here and that is being made here sailing out from Liverpool in a couple of months . I mentioned on here about a year ago that the best scientists in regard to this kind of thing should be part of an internationally run unit paid for by government funding from around the world for best value, efficiency by sharing of information and the ability to benefit everyone . Didn't know I'd be proved right so quick . I give up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that they work alongside Johnson and Johnson, or did, for the development of specific flu vaccines. If that's still the case I can't see this wouldn't happen. It would probably be a huge own goal relations wise with future cash coming in, but the billions they would be paid they probably won't give a hoot.

There's someone on a shopping channel selling something called cheeky panda toilet roll for 40 toilet rolls and 20 kitchen towels for only 79.99 as we speak. JUST GONE DOWN TO 39.99. SOLD THEM IN 5 MINUTES I believe I've cracked the case Columbo-I suspect the architect of this conspiracy is none other than one of heroes . Keep the racecourses open and the toilet roll selling . Franny Lee The barrel-chested forward gained a reputation for diving but won 27 England caps, scoring 10 goals. Became a businessman and made a fortune owning racehorses and selling toilet roll - they called him "The Bog Roll King" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
