    Police in Manchester shut down 600 street and house parties over the weekend, I have a proposition. Set up an isolated festival, Let the selfish attend, see how it ends up.

    What Are You Listening To Right Now?

    Adrian Legg about as cool and talented as you can get. Just nice and chilled. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwj95v-0jdToAhUHilwKHUPNCDEQwqsBMAF6BAgUEAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DXHunj-_y_C4&usg=AOvVaw0qZN5eEZzSFRRMwhUJ-dhk

    What are you doing to kill the boredom.

    So I've been working from home about to get furloughed, been busy getting work stuff done. I've been thinking in two or three months when this has blown over, there will be a lot more social interaction the youth may go out to pubs, get a life and people might be and kinder to each other. In the eighties I would go to the pub, people would work hard play hard and mix, social interaction used to be physical not digital. We need to return to some old fashioned values.

    Coronavirus death toll 2020

    I have been working from home now for three weeks, I have remote access to my PC and it works quite well, I miss the craic in the office, the bad coffee, the massive jar of swizzles on reception the netflix chats and the trips to M&S at lunchtime for my four times a week curry. We do have a daily conference call update. We have also started to talk to the neighbours a bit more who have been helping with our self isolating, this weekend I am going to set up my turbo trainer to get some exercise. I am though starting to climb up the wall, It does not help that my wife is a junior school teacher. I'm pleased that the self employed are being taken care of to some extent, those who have under declared income in the past can not expect to claim that they have had a non taxable money tree in the back garden for a number of years. Being self employed you take a risk and should have a level of short term funding, the aid appears to be fair the comments re the future taxes also seem fair from an equitable point of view. I don't expect to get a deal of thanks for this post but the government seem to be doing a reasonable job in a hard situation. Only the long term results will show in retrospect how well they did, as one commentator said the worst thing that someone can do is nothing. With no history the plan is hard, opposition might criticise but they could not even put forward a plan, leader or credible manifesto. Boris may not be the best, but he makes Trump look like a buffoon and his deputies are impressive under pressure.

    The problem is the obvious is different to different people, there are those who take the headlines and those that read behind them, I take it that you are the latter which is a good thing. Listening to the commentaries there are too many who are not this wise.

    The figures that count are deaths they are final, tests of people with mild forms of the virus who are going to recover should not really register they are part of the herd. If all of the testing was carried out on a universally consistent basis then the quoted numbers would be equivalent however they never will be. Therefore comparisons will always be difficult governments will always try to manipulate numbers.

    He might be a manager but has no authority, this is a symptom of many organisations with layers of infrastructure, the question to ask for an empathetic evaluation is what could they or would they do with the power that they have been given, often they have constraints put upon them that can't be passed down the line. Perfect information is not always present. Or he is a twat.

    So I have been considering the effect of schools being closed and the associated exams cancelled. Hindsight is a marvellous thing, after being at university for about six weeks our A Level courses had been covered and we had moved on. A levels were not important any more. The important thing is the learning process and being able to develop independent and enquiring minds, recent developments with social interaction eliminate many of the issues that we may have with workplace and school contact, people just need to be nice and civil. I think that some Snowflakes might melt but this will not be a bad thing.

    I can now work at home as I have just had a remote desktop installed. It is actually as good as working in the office but without the 90 min commute each way with the Northern Rail/replacement performing. I could regain a big proportion of my life, get some sleep and save my work colleagues from my daily wit and repartee. A win win situation for everyone. I'm not sure that my wife would agree though. I would feel a lot safer not on public transport suffering from diabetes, sarcoidosis and having had a minor stroke. Statistically I'm probably knackered anyway. I am however quite strong and suffer well, I used to be fit at one stage. I have started to track the spread of the on this site, it seems quite objective. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

    Unfunded consumers of resource and long term costs to the state. Those who have decent health are productive and are young have little risk. It is to be noted that in the UK the majority of FTSE 100 companies pay negligible corporation tax, they use tax havens as do footballers to mitigate liabilities and maintain funding capital. Politicians, Banks, Lawyers, Fund Managers, Consultants and Accountants all complicit in the dilution of the British economy taking profits offshore and making Joe Public pay. I believe the Virus is news because as yet there is no vaccine, as with any problem like this the danger is the spread to the total population, in the past the notification procedures were slower and precautionary measures were often implemented too late, we see this with Iran and Italy, In the UK we see that the majority of cases are returning travellers. Whilst this is to some extent inevitable we have to prepare ourselves for the consequences of total exposure to the virus. An overview of the statistics would suggest that this would indeed result in the conclusion of DeathClocxk. I'm just looking forward to working from home, no commuting and a Netflix binge from the saved time.
