[Not in Crawley]

Went to pick the kids up yesterday in Canterbury, not sure if folk have been on the motorways recently but it’s really eerie.

Had to go to Oldham hospital to pick up my dad's drugs and it was spookily quiet.

One good piece of news, The Labour Party emerge from their cave tomorrow to find the World has made them irrelevant 

Will it be Starmer or Long Bailey?  Expect loads of ‘we should have done this’ from the winner and calls of dirty tactics from the loser, should be a short distraction from the business in hand

A hangar is being prepared at salmsbury. Just as it was for the swine flu outbreak. Just in case of course, but it's a secure place to keep bodies.

Apparently traffic has dropped to 1955 levels

Exponential growth is better than expected, let’s hope it stops growing and stabilises ASAP.

We're tracking on Italy - not sure how that is better than expected when you said we'd never see the sort of numbers Italy have? Last I saw our deaths were growing at a steeper rate than Italy's....

Now, this is something i dont know

But generally, when i deliver on a pallet network to hospitals, stuff gets to where it needs to

And the stuffs quite high value, though not clinical

Apologies if this has already been answered as I’ve not had a look on here since last night 

Yes, there’s an issue with capacity, I’m not denying that, and agree with you. My guess, and it’s only a guess, is that they are short of drivers? 

The issue that I was highlighting was more to do with when the stock arrives at a hospital or community store. I used to work with Tissue Viability/Infection Control. They are the absolute nazis of the NHS and quite rightly so. In the current situation I guess (and again it’s only a guess as we currently aren’t allowed in there) that they will be being very stringent in what/who can enter the hospital. From what I’ve read and heard the virus lives quite a long time on cardboard so I would imagine that any boxes may have to be quarantined for a while thus creating a bottleneck. That and a number of other reasons 

Hope that helps clarify what I was saying

Just had a lovely phone call from one of the players at Livingston football club to thank me for my donation and ongoing donation to the football clubs operating fund.  Genuinely grateful they are 

why Bolton aren’t doing something like this I’ve no idea if I’m honest. Sure plenty folk would donate
