Edit...im assuming you meant contracted Yes it can be contracted from surfaces. The harder the more likely, stainless steel is apparently one of the worst as it can survive for up to 72 hours. The advice is simple, dont touch these surfaces if you dont have to, if you do dont touch your face, then wash your hands properly. Someone posted a really good video on here a couple of days back demonstrating the correct technique for handwashing. Doing it for 2 lots of happy birthday means fuck all if dont do it properly.

Wanderlust Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Can someone explain to me about the testing? Heard all that stuff about one day v 90 minutes but what was that test on the news where the guy took a couple of drops of blood and had a response withing 10 minutes? Is it an antibody test - i.e. the important one? Has it not been approved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats my understanding Pretty much only testing is at hospital, so if youve not been, you wont have been tested But if youve not been tested, theres no way of saying its covid Much more likely to be pneumonia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Rudy Posted April 2, 2020 Author Members Share Posted April 2, 2020 My word corona is making me drink. Today I picked Some stuff up for my grandma. She’s 80 and her birthday is on Sunday, she lives alone, a son in Australia and a son in New York, so she has very little chance of seeing them any time soon. Today I put stuff on her doorstep knocked on the door and walked to the car, she came to the door and looked at me so lost and lonely and it fuckin broke my heart that I couldn’t go and hug her, it absolutely broke me to the point that I think the last time I cried was 3 years ago when my daughter was born. Its a fuckin shit time for the outside looking in but it’s a shit time for the old dears in on their own with no interaction and very little perks in the day it must be a long fucking day. Anyways I’m pissed because it’s all a bit mad at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe UNISON should demand double pay for nurses or everybody out? Or maybe they shouldn't as it would be as morally reprehensible as the example above?

No lesson attempted I wouldn’t argue at every member of nhs staff earning below a certain level being given a pay rise and would happily have my income tax increased marginally to cover it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not the level of stock, it’s the logistics/delivery When the bomb went off at the MEN arena I was involved in getting crucial kit into all the local North West hospitals. This was life-saving stuff. Negative pressure machines, dressings, the whole works. And this was FOC stock. No invoices nothing. It was a nightmare. Easy enough to deliver. The supply chain is something else entirely. Nowt to do with politics. Nowt to do with funding. Simple logistics. I’m sure that plenty in here are involved in logistics/delivery to the end user. It’s not simple We need to give it time. Social distancing, quite rightly, means that this has all been slowed down. Unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I am, and i can have a pallet anywhere in the country next day I can have a parcel to most places in the country, next day, for 4.50 There are delivery drivers who have been furloughed There really is NO excuse for not getting the stuff distributed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
