Time to stand firm on that adage that "age is just a number", right, and enjoy your 40th for another year! ?

So hard to say how much DJs will be able to travel by next summer. It might be that they can travel within Europe but not farther abroad like to the USA. In that case, you might see European DJs wanting to play more Ibiza gigs since if they have fewer options elsewhere.

Very true! Once we all get through this... ?

South Devon - and one of the deliveries came from East Cornwall. There's plenty of some things and zero supplies of bread or flour especially. Had deliveries from both Tesco and Waitrose within last 7 days and both came without bread or flour, and with no substitutes for the variants asked for. On the shelves in stores flour is worse than bread for non-availability !

It appears that some parts of the country have more food availability than others. I hope things in your area start to improve in the next few weeks.

We do not know yet if there will be thousands or millions of death MORE than other years with other influenza or corona type of viruses. The vast majority of people dying...would have died anyway in the coming 5 years because of underlying deceases or age.
We do know that the virus spreads so fast that the Intensive Care units all over the world have insufficient beds and personnel. So that's a problem I can see. But then I still hold the opinion the world has overreacted and we can't turn that back now. This will have a huge impact on the world and I truly doubt if that's worth it. It's ok to disagree, I'm not looking to make my point or something like that.
The world cannot keep this up for months to come. It's damaging the world harder than the virus would have.

Jesus i can't believe you bothered to type out that absolute f**king drivel. People "would have died anyway" sounds a bit 3rd Reich tbh and makes you sound like a complete moron.
 
as expected spain has hit the 10k death barrier today.

while numbers are still growing everywhere in the country (in some parts quicker than in others), the two glimmers of hope are
- growth is slower
- number of cases that have recovered is growing daily now. the current total of cases in the whole of spain is just over 110K, of which 26K have recovered.

Mate, you have to get the important things sorted - I was more concerned about getting this stuff than getting food, because you know for sure food will be available in some form whereas the chances of materials deliveries and access being shut down to the general public was much higher. Got decent weather, no point being stuck at home if you can't get people in to do jobs and you can;t get materials to do it yourself. Especially after 6 months of non-stop rain and everything falling apart lol.

Fair point. I've got a shed and garage full of materials from last summer.

My home schooling for my daughters has turned into an extended work experience. Its keeping them occupied and off the WiFi.

They are going to bed a lot sooner, and totally knackered :D ?

I'm running out of jobs though, I don't think they are up to re-tiling the roof just yet. Might be a bit of a stretch for them.

It's the inevitable "I'm a bigger despot than you are" competition ramping up ... 7 years in prison ? I'll raise you "shot dead on sight" ... it'll be "make your family eat each other" next :rolleyes:

I have ordered in everything to build this alongside all the other projects lined up for the next few weeks >>

Seeing as I agreed not to exercise in the house it was inevitable - and may be a case of better to ask forgiveness than seek permission if the posts and concrete mix arrive :lol:

In a perverse way CV may have saved dozens of lives, thinking the empty roads will have surely had a lower number of fatal accidents? So at least the NHS (here in the UK) doesn't have to deal with those as much.
EDIT research = 1770 road deaths inc. pedestrians in 16-17.
Also no doubt people who pester the NHS with minor stuff "Jimmys' got a bruise we must go to A+E" are keeping away?

Looks like a great project. The only thing keeping my sanity at the moment is the 1 hour of exercise we are allowed a day.

Being a keen runner I'm getting out and setting my lungs on fire every other day.

Additionally I've got a decent punch bag set up in the garage.

So could possibly get my glittering amateur boxing career back on track after this, or if the Great North Run is still on I could give Mo Farah a run for his money ?

Both very doubtful lol :confused:

You raise some very valid points above. And A&E (Emergency Room for non-UK people) admissions are down at the moment. I appreciate less people moving means less accidents, but probably is an element of too many people going because "Jimmy has a bruise".

I think by the end of April the debate will start to change. If it starts to come to light that people awaiting life-saving operations, and cancer patients who should have had operations and treatment - but are delayed, then the debate has to change.

600,000 people a year die in the UK every year. That is ~1,600 a day. And obviously most of those are elderly and people with underlying conditions.

So what we are sadly seeing with the older population is those deaths being brought forward (sadly).

Probably getting myself in a tangle here, and it is controversial to say, but how many deaths have there been in non-elderly people that would have lived on average for 5+ years?

Basically - how many people will die of other causes because the NHS is occupied with CV and otherwise they would have lived? It's such a fine balancing act, and all we can do it try to keep ourselves healthy and out of trouble. I can't play hockey right now = I won't be getting a broken toe/finger/ego so I won't be using the NHS. On the other hand if I'm at home and I go up the ladder to clear that gutter....ooops! Best not!!

There will be less traffic accidents if there are less people on the roads but this virus is spreading like wildfire and killing thousands. I genuinely can't believe there are entitled muppets saying that the restrictions being placed on the entire world (on the advice of scientists and experts) are OTT.

Waaaaaaa i'm missing some crappy tech house night out
waaaaaaaaa my work has closed for a few weeks
waaaaaa i'm being made to stay at home and watch tv
waaaaaa IT'S NOT FAIR

Thousands of people are dying every day around the world from a new and deadly virus but apparently it's fine because most would be dead within 5 years anyway.

F**king idiots. (Not the person who i quoted btw)
