Dr youngrovergirl doing her clinics as normal.

Above all, stay safe!

Dr young Zippy123 is an A&E doctor and hasn't even been given a face mask.

In fact her Trust has refused to issue them because the staff are not fit tested.

There is only one hazmat suit for the department.

Chlorinated water is a good cleanser, the virus cannot live on it. Good old fashioned soap and water is one of the best defences, but wash up to your elbows and also wash your face and neck with soap and water as well.

Above all, stay safe!

Glad to hear that chlorinated water is bad for the vursthatcannotbenamed - I went swimming at my (almost deserted) local municpal pool earlier today. Came out (after the shower at the end) all squeky clean. Glad my car won't (barring issues) need servicing until the end of the year.

I'm more concerned with all the utility company workers if they go off sick in large numbers - who's going to keep our water/sewerage, gas and especially electricity going - after all they don't run themselves and need TLC from time to time!

Maybe some volunteering is in order - I've been twidling my thumbs for best part of three years now after leaving the Construction Industry.

Most garages will carry on working normally, it's either that or go out of business, not enough cashflow to pay mechinics full sick pay i'd wager so unless they are really ill they'll be working as normal, just like most of the privately employed working population not involved in the leisure side of things.

Just use some common sense and increase your own personal hygiene, paying particular attention to things that get touched or used by many others, eg door handles and handrails, things i try not to touch with my bare hands if at all possible.

Whether the govt will use force to isolate older people in due course we will have to wait and see, i hope not because once the state gets the taste for such measures and finds the population easier to control this way they'll use these methods again when it suits.

Remember that the ruling Global Socialist Elite want to keep the population in a state of fear and compliance. The flow of information from the MSM is being carefuly controlled. Remember the Millennium Bug?. Remember Project Fear? Don't be manipulated!

Oh dear, have you been doing your 'research' on the internet again?

Regarding the Millennium Bug - surely it went well as people and companies actually solved the issue before it's 'time' was up rather than putting it's head in the sand?

"Remember that the ruling Global Socialist Elite want to keep the population in a state of fear and compliance."

I'm getting tired of your one-track mind, Joe. You've been reading too much Kafka, and it's getting boring.

It seems you take every opportunity to rehea*** your tiresome conspiracy theories in which some imagined left-wing threat holds the UK in thrall.

There is as much evidence to suggest fears about the millennium bug were real and had to be dealt with by software engineers as evidence to the contrary and even if the latter were true, there is no evidence to suggest it was anything more than a myth.

The phrase "Project Fear" was initially used in the Scottish Referendum campaign in 2014, then as a label attached by Brexiteers (of whatever political persuasion) to propaganda attempts by Remainers to influence people's thinking. There's no evidence it was a concerted left-wing thing - indeed the Labour Party declared it would have nothing to do with what it described as something Tory.

What is even more worrying is that it seems you are ready to defy government advice or any other social controls put in place to control the spread of COVID-19. That could be very dangerous for the rest of society, if too many people think like you.

My vehicle WILL be going for it's service and MOT in early April...unless I am personally in the midst of a Covid-19 crisis at the time and simply not well enough to do it. (I'm over 70)

I certainly don't how on earth they can ever police/enforce a ban..they can ask and suggest..and we will all take the necessary care and precautions I'm sure.

Will that be allowed, I wonder?

Many things are not 'allowed', but still happen, especially on the road. :-)

Did anyone watch the final Last Tango yesterday? What looked like a 14-year-old lad pinching a car and driving from Sowerby Bridge to Brid and back ? Without crashing ... Hmmmm ...
