Off Topic Coronavirus and Quarantine

Hope you're OK!
Make sure you rest!

My bp was 183/115 last week ( have hypertension so on meds) but realised it was the flu medication causing it to rise that high. Dr told me off as bp that high can cause serious issues.

 

Keep a close eye on that mate - my dad had similar, and despite being diagnosed with a muscular issue by an ambulance crew, later discovered he had angina.

Don't hesitate to get help if it comes back. Better you chew up time of an ambulance crew or A&E doctor than have a heart attack and end up in an ITU bed.

Besides, you've still got work to do on the 2017 prediction league.

 

Despite what others on here think
It's good to know you're ok

 

I am. Nursery can have my daughter, only able to confirm it at four. Only probably in for two days a week as that's all we need for staffing but that may increase if people start going off sick I guess. I know it's a cliche but I've been so proud of my work colleagues this week and wanted to try and do everything to be in next week.

 

July is key

 

Aye it's when my 60th birthday is

Was hoping to get away on holiday then

 

no chance

 

Nev, NEV, NEV Chippy wants you, That’s before you peg out anyway.

 

Just been shopping in our normal Saturday upmarket western style supermarket. Busy as looks like Jakarta going into lockdown. Shut the borders and all working from home from Monday.
They had put a sign up on the bog rolls - two pieces per person but nobody was buying it anyway! Can only think the reason they did was all the expats would be following the lead of their compatriots at home. Anybody short let me know - I can send it DHL.

 

Going to be funny next week when we go down to buy 600kg of rice. Sure we will get some very funny looks.

 

Just driven around several shops.

Literally everything is empty! What ****ing twats we are surrounded by!

Our normal £60 a week ago came to £23.

Back to work on Monday so who knows how these key workers are going to get food and things.

Think there should also be a key worker shopping hour

 

I think we need to move as much as possible to online and deliveries. At the minute that isn't possible because of all delivery slots booked out for weeks to come. They need to find a way of increasing delivery capacity. Frozen and refrigerated items make that difficult, but there must be a way of utilising the vehicle network and drivers of businesses currently in shutdown.

 

They are like locusts. ****ing scummy dregs of society.

hope they get the ****s and then run out of bog roll.

 

My shop was online. No basics at all. No toilet rolls delivered, no eggs, no milk and no bread.

Have managed finally to get milk and bread (if kingsmill counts).

 

I have a cold

 

7.30 on a Saturday night
In the City of Newcastle
unbelievably empty and quiet

 

Good!

 

Well I know one person who is there...
