Morrisons producing £10m worth of food to go to food banks over the coming months and repurposing it's closed cafe's as donation depots.
Co-op said it would donate £1.5m worth of food to FareShare, to help boost stocks in foodbanks.
Both deserve a shout out

Re: Coronavirus
Does anyone else think they've had it?
I'm generally okay now but every night I wake up in the middle of the night with a throat full of mucus coughing and spluttering, and every morning I spend an hour or two intermittently coughing it all up.
Is that the virus? There's no way to know which is quite annoying.

True, but then we're the ones encouraging them to take cheap flights, stay in cheap foreign owned hotels while blagging up our home city taking moronic selfies! [FWIW, sod the virus I'd suffocate anyone who does any harm to a protected species, especially pangolins that are particularly precious].

Re: Coronavirus
In theory no. The coronavirus cough is meant to be dry and very continuous, no phlegm etcsendô wrote: ↑Mon Mar 30, 2020 10:29 am I'm generally okay now but every night I wake up in the middle of the night with a throat full of mucus coughing and spluttering, and every morning I spend an hour or two intermittently coughing it all up.

I’d take that bloke with several huge gulps of salt.
His page reveals he’s trying to sell ‘cures’ for various ailments.
He even admits his views are based purely on personal experience and the experiences of people he knows. He has no qualifications, no expert experience. In scientific terms, he’s the ‘bloke down the pub’ who reckons he can tell you a thing or two.

Dominic Cummings is now in isolation after showing symptoms, I wonder if the 'spare' test kits extend to un-elected officials.

I only managed the first eight minutes, but it seemed that he was just quoting selected opinions from other sources. You could build a dozen other stories using the same method.
It's thought provoking stuff, though.

Re: Coronavirus
looking at this, it is either a big coincidence, or comparing the number of 'cases' isn't really a waste of time, even with all the differences in testing.Denbighammer wrote: ↑Sat Mar 28, 2020 6:46 pm The 'cases' numbers are a waste of time for comparative purposes.

But the government hasn’t shut the work place down to key workers only, many are still in offices in London and working around the area, have to say the trains are surprisingly busy in the morning as are the buses

Re: Coronavirus
To be honest when he went down the civil liberties stuff and the deep conspiracy theories I switched off. What I found interesting was the collation of medical opinions stating that the death toll is not significantly inflated by Coronavirus and that this seems a bit of an overreaction, given the low amount of population vulnerable to this.Monkeybubbles wrote: ↑Mon Mar 30, 2020 10:53 am I saw he was wearing a crystal around his neck and the alarm bells went off.

As you say, it is thought provoking. Even if the guy is a bit strange.

Must be living in Kent DL-DL- wrote: ↑Sun Mar 29, 2020 1:43 pm I know plenty of self employed, and the amount of them that are kicking and screaming because they've fiddled tax and under declared is actually quite staggering, and yet they're still saying the government ain't done enough. Amazing how it's fine for them to diddle the government out but moan when they government won't bail them out.
Quite how you bail them all out, I've no idea, and basing it on their declared income is about as fair as it's going to get. if you've deliberately under declared for the sake of tax and child maintenance avoidance, then unlucky.
Meanwhile, I will live on my 80% of my average earnings for the past 13 weeks - a grand sum of bugger all. We've all got a sob story, and perhaps it will make us think about what we do with our money in the future, and also how we may declare earnings too if you're self employed.
I'm not having a pop at all self employed at all, before people crucify me - I can only base it on those that I personally know, and for a lot of them, hens are coming home to roost - but again - the one size fits all approach to who gets what out of what are not unlimited funds won't work.
To be honest finding a reasonable method of helping the self-employed was always going to be a thankless task and fair play to the Government for trying. The issue is that "self employed" covers everybody from delivery drivers (paid a small amount per drop), through building site labourers (again paid not much but quite common to work cash in hand), through skilled labour like plumbers and electricians (often earning very nicely and some not adverse to cash in hand but not as prevalent these days), and white collar workers (often very well paid and unlikely to have opportunities for cash in hand). The more higher paid you are the more likely you are to operate through a limited company, which provides means to reduce tax paid. I am always surprised how many highly paid people are spending close to their income, as you say perhaps some of them need a wake up call.
As someone whom operates through a limited company, my personal income is made up of salary and dividends and I suspect that I fall between the gaps in the schemes. However to be honest I didn't expect any help and regard myself as being in the "lucky" position of having money to fall back on, there are many that are not in that position and need help far more than myself. So I won't be kicking and screaming, when I went self employed I understood that I was not eligible for most state support,

Not just human rights shocking acts of cruelty on animals too and I'm certain there is no scientific proof of rhinoerous horns and other animals, including pangolins, cats and dogs, bats octopii and scorpions will cure ailments eithersendô wrote: ↑Mon Mar 30, 2020 10:29 am Does anyone else think they've had it?

Re: Coronavirus
My company (construction) just announced all of our sites will remain closed for at least another week. So indefinite closure then.
I'm currently "WFH", but frankly running out of things to do, even with be dragging them out massively.
Pay day tomorrow, but I've had no indication if I'll get paid in full, part or not at all which is irritating.
