Corona virus - Covid 19 discussion

[nutnut]

Do u not have a access to news reports??the government has already committed to pay 80% of people’s wages as I’m sure your already aware.
We will all lose what limited freedom we have because of people like you with the I don’t give a fuck attitude do u seriously think it’s ok to carry on as normal potential pick up the virus and pass it on to somebody it could potentially kill??

Thats IF the company keeps you on. Many won't even want to pay 20% to someone for nothing. Also my work place has not told me not to come in so I must go in.

 

[nutnut]

I get you need to work and if you can't work at home you can't but you said you had been out all day today. Whether we like it or not we have to stay in as much as possible and if we are ill or live with someone who is ill we have to self isolate.

We have to protect others .

The government are paying 80 percent of wages for those who can't work due to closures etc. That's a good offer.

The world is in melt down over this because people are seriously ill and over whelming every health service going. Doctors are having to choose who they try to save whilst leaving the others to effectively suffocate. Its destroying them. It will haunt them forever.

So we all have to suck it up and do what we can to help each other. End of.

Given I'm someone that spent years of my life locked away in my room the idea of going back too it is worse than death.

 

[Playford7]

Are you drunk?

Where do you work? It's none of your business, but lets say I work for Home Bargains. How does it matter where I work?

I’ve worked at stork plc, Altrad which took over cape offshore plc and also BIS, formally salamis in the last ten years.
All on my tax record, paid full tax and national insurance mate, normally in the 40% bracket.
Last employer Altrad.
So who do you work for?
You don’t pay a penny into the system do you? Let’s have it right.
May aswel be a benefit swindler.

I'm sorry that you feel that way and self isolating is very hard but we can't choose to contribute to other peoples deaths . Totally unacceptable.

 

[Welshy88]

Update on my condition . About a hour ago I couldn't breath , gasping for air .very scary .
Phoned 111 and I guess they think I'm fine . Might have corona and I might be in the viral pneumonia stage , Pretty much need to be knocked out to phone for a ambulance.

If you are that bad you need help. Do you have someone with you?

 

[Playford7]

So what company you work for?.. LIAR

 

[Playford7]

In other news, some slow cooked gammon, a jacket with cheese and some crusty bread and crunchy green stuff .
Sadly no coke, no Dr Pepper this evening, merely a black current cordial.
Sauces where a bbq, some mustard and a hot cayenne.

 

[Welshy88]

If you are that bad you need help. Do you have someone with you?

yes mate but they have no symptons yet , I have pretty much kept myself in one room they are in another away from me .

 

[Borgie]

I meant to help you if you cant breathe. To call an ambulance for you etc

 

[Welshy88]

I meant to help you if you cant breathe. Yo call an ambulance for you etc

Pretty much small rooms so I can't have them in same room across the room just in case I have corona . Just hope i don't stop breathing

 

[Balthazar]

As someone who unfortunately drinks a lot of soda, I'm heavily rationing this shit. I've got 24 cans left..and about 3 weeks worth of food so I can drink one can a day. I don't plan to go to the grocery store for the next 3 weeks.

Grocery stores are where people are going to get infected the most..people touch everything and this virus can last days on a simple bread bag or egg carton.

So you get your groceries, you wash your hands once you get home, touch the food packaging, get the virus back on your hands, scratch your nose and bam, you're infected. This thing is ridiculous.

 

[Lobo]

[sueyh]

Can you go to a medical center or any hospital? You might need to take an X-ray on your lung, and it sounds like you really need to get some antibiotic. Do you have GP? Can you call your GP to ask some advice or he might be able to prescribe antibiotics for you without seeing you maybe? Do you have a fever? Did you take some paracetamol?

thankfully cases of soda and water are good here to stock up on , in that you can sanitize the case, so the indivual cans/bottles are good inside after you tear off and discard the outer plastic without stressing the contents

loaded for bear here, 5 cases of water, 1 of gatorades; though that's pretty normal here, virus or no

Can't just turn up to the hospital cause of it was corona . Phoned 111 to see if I need hospital but she said I'm young enough and healthy enough to get over this.
No gp cause i never ill enough to go the doctors, yes a bit of a fever right now and no I didn't take any paracetamol.

Hi Balthazar
Actually this is the area where I work here in Ontario, I will be back tomorrow and will see what the situation is, We were still doing o.k. but cause everyone is panic buying we are falling behind now and the last I worked we canceled smaller routes to focus only on grocery stores and big customers.

Our production is trying to run 7 days a week but they along with where I am are short people as people are now refusing to come in for fear of their health.

The store I go to and assured them last week that we were not short have now got their shelf full of soda, You might see certain flavors short but I can assure everyone we still have product at the moment and nobody is going to die of thirst still.

Go to shoppers drug mart, or the big grocery stores and costco, those are the ones we are shipping to right now.

 

[pinnit2014]

What is this lockdown BS btw?

You can't force people to stay in, what if I'm going to work, or supermarket etc... I am going to be stopped by a PCSO Utter horse shit.

Only place that should be on lockdown is London and that needed to be on lockdown before the outbreak.

Won’t make much of a difference here in Glasgow given half the population is already locked up

 

[pinnit2014]

I get paid Friday, could be my last full pay. do i go sensible or blow it on bonanza

How’s blowing it now any different to the times before?

I believe most country have something like "help-line" you can call if you need to discuss about your well being.
It will be the best to find some place to call to get some advice from an expert.

Says 111 took 45 minutes to get through then they had to phone back .
She said i can ride this out cause I managed to control my breathing in the end .
I'm pretty scared tbh stomach gone all bloated now I feel helpless.

Are there so many gangsters in Glasgow?

Im about to sneak out for a walk myself.
But what if everybody else had the same idea for a middle-of-the-night walk.
Hmm. Maybe another walk to the kitchen and back will do.
There might be something new in the fridge since last time i looked.

Getting real bored not being able to waste money on slots because of some bank-screwup.
Just waiting for them to open so i can call and ask them to fix it.
I estimate the chance of them fixing it within a day is about 3.2%

stressing yourself is only going to exacerbate the problem as working yourself into a tizzy might just trigger a anxiety/panic attack with shorter breath, so you'll stress the shorter breath, having even shorter breaths...rinse repeat


find a good thread, good book, show etc, give your body a fighting chance and try not to work yourself up

remember, you're still quite likely to come out fine
if your condition DOES worsen, then call again
but relax, ask a fam member to check in on you, find a means to unwind

 

[mina1929]

There might be something new in the fridge since last time i looked.

My son goes to the fridge all the time and just leaves the door open starring into the fridge for a while and I say to him, "Son, nothing else has magically appeared since the last five minutes you looked"

Is this a male thing

eventually, we realize we can make a sandwich from mayo, pickles, ketchup and some fuzzy thing way in the back

What's the fuzzy thing?

My son really annoys me doing that every hour or so and never makes anything lol

He ends up going to KFC

I do the fridgewalk when i want something to eat but am to lazy to go buy something.
You get less picky every time you open the fridge, and around the 4-5th time, you settle for almost anything.

And yes, your son is a male thing.
These are things a mother should know.

Dude, thats a first-trip-to-the-fridge sandwich you are talking about.
Bunch of real ingredients and stuff.

I read an article somewhere that a guy ran a marathon on his balcony. Did the 7 meters about 6,000 times.

I've been in a similar situation with my bank for about 3 weeks now. Unfortunately in my case, I know where the problem is and as well that it won't be sorted that easily (it's not for the lack of money).

Hope you have more luck!

 

[Harry_BKK]

The bill as it stands gives the poorest only $600 instead of $1200 + a huge slush fund for Mnnnnnnnnuuuuuuchin and Mr T to spend on corporations as they please without any controls, rules or the like + no restriction on stock buy-backs and they can still lay-off people even when the company is receiving financial support.

Pure madness as expected from Mr T, that will end up being then $5 Trillion instead of $1 or $2 T, yet the normal American sees very little.

His presser yesterday was the perfect example of how others are lobbying for free cash from the government. How he whined about what he has lost for becoming president was just outrageous.

Yeah, if this drags on for 3 weeks ill start climbing the walls.
But i would probably starve before that happens since i kind of need money to buy food.
No idea what the issue is, but i know banks usually take their time fixing things.

I hate playing the waiting game.
Out of all games, that is probably the worst.
Oh well, guess ill go check the fridge again.

I hope it all gets fixed very soon for you

My situation is slightly different as I opened another account with a different bank to divert any future ingoing transactions. However, this was/is the only account I could/can use for gaming. So all other stuff is OK, just no slotting.

Hope you can get it sorted.

Im not hungry for anything, so this time it was just a leisure-trip.

I just get easily bored.
I need my daily 10k spins on Doa.

 

[goatwack]

Wow. Which part of 'Stay at home' don't they get!

It's because of dimwits like this that we will have a full lockdown, more than likely any day now

You can always read the 247 pages of the US Senate bill if you are that bored. Rather interesting literature, I might add... maybe.
