The Coronavirus thread.

Obviously each sector will be clamouring that they should be the first sector to be allowed to go back to work and not the last. It'll b like the hunger games but for business

How are they going to make this work in pubs you don't just go to a pub for a beer the social side of being in a pub that people enjoy as much as a beer, if you have to keep a distance from each other including going to the bar i cannot see it working.

Would you want to be a glass collector?

I think pubs are going to be one of the last business (along with gyms and coffee shops) to re-open. Because of this many of them wont ever open again as they'll go out of business

I hope its the big chain coffee shops that go and not local small ones, i hate the way they move into every town without a care for what they will do to small shops in small towns.

Washing up liquid.


Consultant physician Adian, who is from Salford, Manchester works at Leighton and Macclesfield hospitals in Cheshire.

He has revealed that the "coronavirus has a fatty outer layer" and can therefore be tackled by "anything that dissolves fat".

The doctor tweeted out saying: "People, please do NOT panic if liquid soaps are sold out, a bar will also do the job (rinse after use and put dry) or use dish washing liquid, the coronavirus has a fatty outer layer, anything that dissolves fat will work!"

Speaking about his washing-up liquid advice, he added: "I thought a few people might not know it.

"I learned about it from a very senior colleague and thought best pass it on.

I think it only really the big boys that have capcity to aborb the financial blow of being out of business for so long. I think a lot of the small coffee shops will go under But even the big boys are feeling the pinch. I read today Mcdonalds are reopening 15 stores for delivery

Aren't such as Starbucks actually franchises ie. each shop is an independant business that pays Starbucks for the privilege of labeling themselves as a Starbucks?

Actually I think you're right. I think quite a few chains run on this model. In that case I think the high street is going to be a lot emptier than it was already

Looks like the government hadn't 'changed' the way tests were counted in order to 'fiddle' the figures;

'
No change to how tests are counted, says Prof Newton
Q. A report in the HSJ says tests are now being counted once posted out rather than once the sample has been processed, is that true?

Newton says there has been no change to the way tests are counted.

With new ways of delivering tests, officials have given advice on how they should be counted, he says.

The majority are counted in labs, but for any test which takes place outside the programme they’re counted when they leave the programme, he says. So tests that are mailed out or go out by satellite, have always been counted that way.

That’s the way they are counted, have always been counted and were advised to count them by officials.'

That's from the Guardian. So, no @MyQul , the government didn't change anything to fiddle the figures, the counting methodology has been consistent, and they have hit the 100,000 per day target.

Although, I'm sure you were just about to correct your accusation in any case, eh?

 

[marshbrewer]

No, the 'fiddle' was, according to the article you quoted in your post was as follows (direct quite from your post);

The government has changed the way it is counting the number of covid-19 tests carried out in a bid to hit its target of 100,000 tests per day by the end of April, HSJ can reveal.

Don't start backtracking now. Just admit you were wrong.

Whatever methodology they use to count tests has to be consistent. It has been consistent, and by the always used methodology, they smashed the 100,000 per day target as Hancock said he would.

Well, I can admit that. Lets hope they can keep the numbers up so everyone can get a test. As it seems track and trace is the most effective method to beat the virus
