Site Supporter Spider Posted March 22, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted March 22, 2020 I’ll know I’ve had enough of being on lockdown when I’d happily see the scousers lift the title instead. For now, I’m digging in and willing to do what it takes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErnestTurnip Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I make it 15 from 17 at our place who couldn't really work from home, one of the 2 who can starts wfh tomorrow and I'm in isolation so am already wfh (I include myself in the 15 altho I can really wfh). I can see it ending up 5 or so of us trying to do everything unless it all goes into lockdown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the countries where its slowed down, the pattern seems to be that when it drops below +15% consistently, it ultimately tails off, so hoping this will happen in Italy too - I think the higher the amount of deaths, the longer it takes for the tail off to occur, I would imagine until they can get the beds to patients requiring ICU ratio 1:1 there's going to be lots of people dying who would otherwise be saved.

If we could test them - they might be back on the front line in 2 days. As it stands - they won't be back in for about 2 weeks. And more people will ring in tomorrow. I've got a banging headache and a sore throat. I've had it for a few days. If I'd have been tested Friday - it would really help me returning with some confidence tomorrow. Right now I'm worrying in case I'm one of the weird ones who doesn't get the cough and temperature and I end up passing it on to others! That's where I've been at since I self isolated with symptoms a fortnight ago, was proper ill for a week, but went back yesterday but still got sore throat and headache (sinuses).I've definitely had a virus of some sort. 50% of my department off and maybe more tomorrow.

Think a 2 week lockdown here might spare us the real shit seen in Italy? If so, Boris needs to just come out tomorrow and absolutely nail the country down, full beans. 2 weeks does much less damage than months of fucking about. Lets bring Xmas forward.

This. It has to be done. Now. I was very much in the “it’ll be OK” camp a couple of weeks ago. The pathetic shit going on in supermarkets and at the seaside shows that it’s got to happen now because too many people simply won’t listen to advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 EVERYONE (of sound mine) is screaming out for a full lockdown. And yet he’s ignoring it. Reckon his team will trawl social media and there’ll be a turnaround very soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I don't think it's going to save London for the next month or so, they're too few days behind Italy to spare them. The majority of the patients who die in London in the next 2 or 3 weeks will already be infected now, the longer he waits though, the longer it will take for the recovery in London to come into effect. everyone else in UK seems to be a few weeks behind London, so we've got a better chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
