We were to see this band tonight in Cork obviously cancelled but the lyrics do suit the mood today..
 
rules at Customer keep on changing every day
i was told by the customer to get home b4 midday and not come back to office until new order :cool:
No worries customer wont pay anymore but my company still pay 100% of my income (can say goodbye for the raise ?)



at 7h30am 20 people queuing at supermarket opening 8h30am
will go to supermarket to buy some stuff and will see how histeric people may behave
 
If preservation of life is a government's primary concern, then the economy is as important as the health issue.

Many more people could lose their life through the resulting economic hardship than the virus itself.

There's a whole bigger debate there about how fragile and reliant we are on these legal-fiction systems we have built ourselves, but disappearing down that rabbit hole won't serve a lot of purpose at this time

I've made a list of personal positives that will come of the lockdown. They're only small things, but their cumulative effect will be a positive one:

- unread emails = 0, all non-essential emails deleted from both personal and work accounts. All important contacts saved. A big job but one that pays for itself

- reorganise and back-up music. Another big job that has been neglected the last few summers. Already made a good start

- clean and tidy up laptop and phone. Similar to the above 2, but got so many unused apps, unidentified contacts and files all over the place. Will free up lots of space and will be more pleasing to the eye

- listen to and give feedback on 100s of promos

- sort out room. Mine and my girlfriend's whole existence is crammed into 1 room at the moment. A lot can be gutted (DVDs and CDs anyone? I think there's even some VHS) but there's no system at the moment. A trip to the tip is out of the question, but it will be good to get an idea of what needs to go.

- bit optimistic this one, but we usually get a isolated good week of weather in April before it turns again. If that happens, I'll be in the garden a lot

- reading. Don't do it nearly enough and I miss it. Got various books, magazines and online articles queued up. Always found that my biggest inspiration for writing comes from reading the work of others

I'm sure there will be more small victories
 
We just been told all gonna be working from home end of today. So hundreds of peeps at my site and thousands across all the sites. ... this is when we find out if remote working is viable I guess!??‍♂️

Suspect the uk government models showed 260,000 possible deaths unless changed the approach asap kinda had an effect on policy yesterday!
 
and in a similar situation, lots of new flats on offer in madrid - seems owners that used to do airbnb are trying to switch back to rent out their flats in a normal way since tourism will be out for quite a bit.
 
You'd have to worry about the UK and the approach they are taking. Pubs are packed there and they're even running half marathons ffs. Could be a huge spike sooner rather than later :(

Really hard to tell what way this is going to go.. Even if we get it under control and reduce the lockdown who's to say it won't come storming back.

The things we take for granted. You would just wish everything was back to normal.
