Along_the_Wire They’re 25 micrograms not milligrams. One is safe (just), the other would kill you.

Liked for the micrograms vs milligrams correction.

However, why add the “(just)”? My daily tablet is 50 µg and in some cases even 100 µg per day is recommended.

      Amps A few weeks?! Amps, until there is a vaccine or successful treatment I would suggest avoiding bars and eateries for the foreseeable future.

          Nah, once that Rnumber of infection drops to fuck all, probably after a second wave, we should be able to deal with the small outbreaks. Pubs open by October ish, me in for a few pre Chrimbo scoops at the beginning of December, assuming I’m still out of work and loving the day drinking.

              Amps ooh ok. Oct seems reasonable. I thought we were talking in a few weeks.

                Nah, very much taking the Runcorn Dave approach here, staying in (quite happy to), and having stuff delivered where possible.

                Saw a few before and after Covid shots of people last week, it proper fucks you over, not interested in that here. No neck gym heads looking like pow casualties. Swerve.

                In regard to the protest marches in London and Birmingham this week, why has no reference been made to the fact that nobody at these events is social distancing or abiding by the guidelines re: the number of people that can meet in one place.

                Have read two news reports on it, and neither has any reference to people breaking the lockdown rules.

                I fully support the message of the protests but how can such massive volumes of people just meet up without any intervention?

                    The US saw a spike in cases yesterday, 21k new cases since Wednesday. What an explosive fiasco that place is right now.

                    Hursty The Guardian is reporting it like it’s the end of the world - their ad revenues are down over 50%, it shouldn’t have been any kind of shock at all.

                        Fucking bizarre isn’t it? I’m at the end of my tether with the press and social media.

                        Shut everything down, the economy shrinks. Shocker!!

                            I used to be a loyal Guardian reader, but the last 6 months, it’s been a steaming pile of shite. It’s a very enraging read these days.

                              I sincerely don’t mean to gloat, but this will come out as such, no doubt.

                              I’m sorry for people in countries like UK who still have so much of lockdown-stuff ahead of you, because you didn’t shut down properly in March. Our goverment couldn’t have done a better job. Apart from night clubs things are back to almost normal. Sporting events will also continue in two weeks.

                              That said Finland had a huge leverage in being about a month behind countries like Italy and Spain. There was a lot to learn what not to do.
