I hate it when people ask if you have a bathroom, I want to say "No we pee in the garden"
Re: Corona virus
I am amazed at how little info there is out there in terms of what do do, how you can avoid things, whether you should fly/use public transport, sit in a restaurant for an hour, etc...
I hate to sound cynical but it feels like the powers that be don't want to cause a panic so they're keeping tight-lipped. Stiff-upper lipped, perhaps.

Or they don't give a shit and are ostriching, thinking that it won't affect 'them'.Ben wrote: ↑Tue Mar 03, 2020 12:33 pmI am amazed at how little info there is out there in terms of what do do, how you can avoid things, whether you should fly/use public transport, sit in a restaurant for an hour, etc...

If you don't sing the National Anthem when washing your mitts and don't believe what our gloriously honest leaders tell you then you may die.

Re: Corona virus
Any update Mr Fatboy? I appreciate that today, only a few days later there are now tens of cases and tomorrow it will have probably doubled but I'm keen to know about your one, as it strikes me as a classic case of one person (the boss) trying to make their life easier in the short term and not thinking of the bigger picture.

Re: Corona virus
I think the media are doing a pretty good job of inducing panic. I'm elderly and have health issues therefore in the 'vulnerable' category but I'm not panicking. I didn't panic about all the other varieties of flu that were going to kill us all off either, and I was right.Ben wrote: ↑Tue Mar 03, 2020 12:33 pmI am amazed at how little info there is out there in terms of what do do, how you can avoid things, whether you should fly/use public transport, sit in a restaurant for an hour, etc...

The tragedy of old age is not that one is old, but that one is young.
Re: Corona virus
Ben, I am not at work at the mo, using my holiday up before the financial year end so I would only receive a second hand update from colleagues rather than boss, his spin on this is ' you're gonna catch it anyway'.
The big boss has said if this goes ballistic then all recycling collected will not be separated at source but sent for incineration to reduce cross contamination....
And the shops are running out of arse wipe and anything that resembles hand sanitizer....
FFS get a grip people
I have a degenerative lung condition so like many others this scares me a bit.
There are now at least 2 forms of Covid 19, one more aggressive than the other, buying tons of toilet roll will protect no one from anything

Re: Corona virus
Yes, plenty to tell...
Luigi isolated with no problems but Covid19 marches swiftly and relentlessly onward, I am isolating because I have a chest infection, my GPs surgery are rightly scared shitless when Ii told them the history. Several are now off work with flu like symptoms and unwisely the Bath half marathon took place at the weekend,first related death in the area also at the weekend.
Today I was supposed to be at a meeting with this being the big ticket item on the agenda, meeting called off too reduce risk.
As the situation worsens the employer will have to make the call as to how we proceed, a big recycling round may collect from 750 households a day, Refuse rounds more than twice that, that is a bio hazard risk on a good day

Re: Corona virus
The joy of being a Union rep means I've had some serious conversations with Management and remind them of their 'duty of care' to both employees and the public, playing ostrich is not good enough.
They now have to work out which employees are at risk due to underlying health conditions.....
Strangely enough our neighbouring councils had strategies drawn up many weeks ago
