I have a very good mate who lives in Uppsala so I’ll try to ask him what he thinks of the plans over there.

I must say though, I did think the ‘herd immunity’ thing was a brilliant idea and thought it would work.....obviously I know **** all

Your friend is north of Stockholm, while I am a couple of hours south. The virus is mostly spreading south because of the more dense population.
Sweden has mostly been following the same advice as in Britain. Apart from Stockholm, Sweden's population is more spread out. Things are starting to get worse, but the general idea (as I see it) is controlled flock immunity. We are on an unofficial lock-down, and it is loosly followed. The advice is a maximum of 50 people in one place.
Supermarkets are very calm. All produce is wrapped in plastic , everyone is advised to keep a metre distance from other costumers and there is plexi-glass at the checkout.
All sport is cancelled. I train a U13 team and we are allowed to train (outdoors) without using the changing rooms.
I also teach at a secondary school. We are the "spreaders". I assume that kids (who gives a **** about us foot-soldier-teachers?) can catch it as long as they stay away from older people.
Local politicians, in a building just down the road from our school, however, work from home and have meetings with Skype. ****ers!
The Easter holiday has just started and I really doubt whether the kids will be returning after the break.

I don’t need to ask him now mate as you’ve answered everything so well.
I love Uppsala. A great student town and such friendly people. Whenever I’ve visited him I’ve had a great time and can’t wait to go back

I thought twice about posting this as it's horrible. It's about how the wildlife trade create pandemics, viewer discretion is advised ...

I feel a surge of potential violence every time I see a civilian wearing a face mask in public, especially if it’s obviously a flashy one rather than a simple one.

We need a list for the reckoning.

Just want to check my supermarket protocol with you - I use the hand sanitiser on entrance, I find that the shops I have gone to in the last week also sanitise the basket/trolley handles, do my shopping, bag it, and use hand sanitiser again on leaving. Wash hands thoroughly immediately once home. Adequate? Supermarkets are by far the worst place for distancing.

ONLY 75 people at a time allowed into supermarkets here
Makes for a nice easy quick shop
When the voluntary lockdown finishes you are going to love the enforced one

Nailed it :emoticon-0105-wink:. We were talking to friends from Gavle, who also work in the hospital. Said Stockholm were very concerned (cacking).
I did ask if perhaps the surströmming would kill the virus and be the answer :emoticon-0105-wink:.

You think that's bad Nines I got sent a video of Chinese people preparing and cooking live rats for human consumption. It was disgusting... so are the F22kers that eat them.

I stopped watching one of them cooking a live dog after about five seconds
Had there been a clue in the title I wouldn't have watched that much
Images stayed with me all day

I saw one earlier of a Chinese woman eating a live tortoise/turtle whilst alive. Yuk. Someone tried to defend them say that if you eat any animals you're just as bad.

He's a bit of a pompous prick, but each to their own Bob. I used to like him but now I can't be bothered. Once he started lecturing, I switched off.

I think Mao has a lot to answer for kiwi. He starved so many of his people to death and that's the reason why they're still eat anything. Happy to be corrected if I'm wrong.
