I've had the same issue trying to track down a thermometer around here, and all the available ones on Amazon (which aren't many) are either super-expensive or they're shipped from the Far East with estimated delivery in the second half of April.

 

I found this on eBay which is at least UK-based and claims it'll be delivered within the week, but at the price obviously it might be cheap tat and not actually do the job properly. Maybe worth a pop for a fiver though, assuming you haven't succumbed to the plague by then (by which I mean "hope it's nowt, get well soon" )

 

Not quite sure why we don't already own a thermometer when we've got more obscure things like blood pressure monitors in the house, but there we are...

It's 2020 ffs. What is Caprice doing on telly full stop, never mind to offer her fucking opinion about a global pandemic. Vine should be fucking ashamed of himself for having to do that show. 

Aye, but it says in the paper that Korea is fixed now, so stuck your Doctors and scientists up your arse

No country is fixed. But China, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong,.and Singapore have it under firm control. It gives them options. I'm not sure what their next step will be, but they can plan for it.

 

We've deliberately let this go out of control. We've severely limited our options. Almost the only country in the world to adopt this strategy, to strong criticism from the WHO and many of our own scientists. It's a huge gamble, we'll see if it pays off.

Does “any combination” include “all”? 

[Renton 21431]

Or the Corrs, including the lad.

Theres a really funny episode of Seinfeld where he is offered a threesome. When the reality of it sinks in, he craps himself.

If I had to go through him to get to the other three, I’d take that.

Aye. The similarities between us and the yanks are obvious, right down to the stupid barnets of our leaders.

Just come back from the dentists, had to affirm on lack of any travel and lack of fever/cough almost before they let me through the door.

You can understand their point. But what about barbers and hairdressers etc? Was talking to the cashier at our hospital coffee shop, basically he said he's fucked the amount of cash he touches.

I'm dirty cash, the one that you asked for
I'm wanted by the rich and the poor
More and more, you just can't reject it
You're the junkie and I inject it
Into your blood stream, it's like a bad dream
Money's the theme, do you know what I mean

 

Did you just rap that back at him? Cos you missed a trick of you didn't.

Yeah, definitely no problem with it.

 

Cash thing encourages contactless - I know that's unfair on the poor generally though.

Also got an email from a head cheese at work saying there's a change freeze until remote working is "stable" - implying the whole place is going that way pretty soon.

There's a few issues with that though isn't there? I think the author needs to understand what exponential growth is for starters. Second, he needs to understand what's happened to Italy, because that's where we are headed. Also no consideration that by stopping this now, we give ourselves breathing space for drug and vaccine development, and get into summer. And why can't we have repeat quarantine phases?

 

I mean it's a nice theory, but we actually aren't in control here any more.
