The "C" Word

Clueless; the masks do absolutely nothing.

Yes and No on that statement :thumbs:
These masks have to be face fitted to your face and tested as one type of mask may fit one person and not another .I have to use these Mask's at work and you have to be trained how to put one on plus a test to see if you have fitted it correctly .The test is basically you have a bag over your head and than someone pumps some strong smells in the head suit and ask you to move around and if you can smell the smell then it's failed .so when Joe blog puts one on it most likely not fitted correctly so it's no good plus you also have to be clean shaven as well to use one .

Yes that’s partly it but also all of the masks that folks are wearing even if fitted properly will, on their own, not do anything to reduce your chance of catching covid-19. The masks are worth wearing if you know you are infected.

I did see that @Cryptkeeper had cracked out the Irish engineering though-

We were told today my 85 year old father who's in hospital after his fall 3 weeks ago has caught it :(. He's in a bad way after the fall, this is all he needs.

Wishing him the very best for recovery. We lost a colleague in Italy to it this week.

One upside is the roads are completely empty. We have this epic road between Woking and Aldershot and I've been taking a run along it on the way to Sainsbury's. Even had the legendary E30 out for a run.
 
Been very tempted to get my GRMN yaris out as the roads around here are amazing but the last time I did this I almost over took a unmarked BMW at 120 but luckily he put the rear blue lights on to warn me and that was on an A road around the corner from my house. Put me right off😂
Such a rush though😈
 
I would mate - will never be another time like it :)

Perfect time for Hampshires pot holes and white lining to be be done due to reduced traffic. It could all be done under rolling roads works and give and take boards. Alas Hampshire Highways does not share the same thought.
This one was filled in privately until HCC will attend. *rant over!

Make the most of it, the roads will look like this soon enough....

My two favourite websites for following stats of the virus:

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

https://www.ft.com/coronavirus-latest

I was checking the worldometers site daily from early March to see if I could predict whether my snowboarding holiday in France would be cancelled. It was, on the day we arrived :rolleyes:.

The FT site has an interesting graph showing how bad it's getting in the US, and how much worse it's going to be if they don't take stricter measures.

That is my worry as well as soon as he said about Easter, and meaning Easter 2020 not Easter 2021. Never liked him before he was elected, and even before all this my opinion of him had gone downhill massively - saw an episode of the celebrity apprentice where they had to sell something and make as much money as possible, but they could call in "favours" and that made it so who knew the richest person who could get there would win and everyone else working was completely pointless - what sort of a message is that to send to a nation.
