I read a funny quote somewhere that went like this

"1920 - young men were asked to donate their lives and fight the war. Which they did" 

 

"2020 - men, women and children are asked to stay home, do fuck all and be paid 80% of their salary. Yet they can't even do that. Absolute useless" 

 

80% to do sod all is brilliant. You're saving on your travel costs. Ration your food and you lose weight and save more money. And you cant go out to shops and waste money on things you dont need to buy :lol:

I wish I was born 100 or 200 years ago sometimes :ph34r:

PS i think it's good they're asking people to volunteer and help but at the same time it's very counterproductive because these volunteers will be contracting and spreading the virus.

Good point . When you think of it i think a lot of the volunteering was like leaving shopping and prescriptions at doors etc of those self isolating for 12 weeks so some want be in direct contact with the virus .

But what about picking up? The pickup locations will be busy. 

Lots of pics on news sites of charity hubs. Lots of people in close proximity without any PPE sorting out food and essentials in charity hubs. 

I also strongly believe droplets are live on surfaces. Some scientists believe droplets could be standing in air a lot longer considering the fact a lot of people have been infected so quickly across the globe. 

They dont think its just from coughing or sneezing... That's a lot of coughs and sneezes.

Am hiding at home. 

Go shopping in the last 20 mins of supermarket closing. So less people. 

Mask and gloves and face shield. Some do laugh but i rather not end in hospital. 

Also don't use basket or trolley. I put items in carrier bag and then empty it at the till.

Rememeber that Tango, when you buy your new bike. This issue was being slammed on GMB the other day, everyone rushing to buy bikes and that they shouldn't. They are a tactile piece of equipment which who knows how many have handled. Poeple are being encouraged to walk, run, spend time in their garden but not to go and buy equipment they don't already have.

I have a E bike but even that is too much effort for a fatty like me.

I think a million people who have already volunteered may disagree with that :rolleyes:

all possible safety measures will be followed

I thought some come in a box and you have to assemble them yourself?

I remember assembling one as a child and want to redo it :P
