I didn't. Those are mortality stats, not going back to work stats. The reality is much, much more working age people will be seriously ill. Possibly with irreversible lung damage, the latest stats suggest.

Anyway, I work in A&E 40hrs pw, and I’m married to a nurse practitioner who works in a different A&E 40hrs pw so if any fucker is going to catch it on here it will be me!

Crack on. I hope your worst fears are realised if it will allow you a nice big “I told you so”

I was thinking “potato hummus, hmmm, sounds nasty”, then realised it’d just be fucking mash. 
 

 

Time for a beer.

Russia doesn't seem to have been hit hard by this yet. 

[Monkeys Fist 46414]

Also, when did everyone on here become such massive fannies? 
 

Give yourselves a shake lads.

Aye, because questioning government policy means I’m rooting for hundreds of thousands of people to die...

Where is it this year?

Italy

Rotterdam. To be fair, I imagine it'll become an "everyone stays home and performs their song in a TV studio in their own country" type affair unless things get better any time soon. Bad news for the flag and glitter retailers of the Low Countries.

I think this could be our year.

I thought you were a mental health nurse. Recently put on 9 to 5 shifts iirc, I know a lot of A&E consultants who don't get that. Well done for shifting specialities  mate.

Tip: Buy chickens. 4 for £20 at most places, canny pets for the kids during lockdown and fresh eggs every morning.

We’ll likely tone down all judicial proceedings and prosecution to the very essential (arrests, search warrants, cases with people in custody).

Fair enough, and well done anyway for the promotion. At least I can work from home when the shit hits the fan. And watch Netflix.

Sainsbury’s was funny as fuck today. I only went in for chickpeas & there was some comic scenes.

I stocked up on store cupboard stuff weeks ago because my mate kept telling me to but Christ he was right

I was in Tesco first thing and it was bedlam. Felt a right cunt sidling up to a shelf stacking lass and saying "have you any idea where the chia seeds are?".

Just settling down to watch Contagion. I typed "c" into the search on the Amazon fire stick and the first thing that came up was this.
