    Obviously there are masks that can prevent you getting the virus, but they have to be especially made to fit your face and therefore there are very few about, even in hospitals.
    I had one during the Swine Flu problem, sadly i don't have it now.
    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    In the spirit of keeping some humour through a crisis, I will share a memo we had in work today:

    ”So you don’t have worry about taking uniforms etc home to wash, we have ordered disposable uniforms and paper pants” 

    Thanks Boris!

    No flour, no yoghurt, no cheese.

    Why?
    It's obvious why, the local supermarkets have run out thanks to hoarders. No flour or yeast here either but there was bread. I now have enough to last 2 or 3 weeks of isolation even if OH doesn't like tinned Irish stew and mushy peas! I don't have a big freezer.

    Paper pants :#
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Supermarkets will get more in they are working hard in difficult times I'm sure people stocking up will end soon.

    I used to do a  lot of travelling around Uk in the 60’s and 70’s always bought paper pants, made of a type of J cloth material. Just throw away every night. 
    Maybe they are of a similar material. 
    It’s a very good idea. Thank you Boris.

    Nice one @Alan Clark2 in Liverpool :D

    The only problem is - there are people out there who will be using it as currency... :/
      
    My daughter works in  the local supermarket. They're closing the food counters and therefore those members of staff will be helping to restock shelves.
    If some people weren't so bl**dy stupid and selfish, there would be enough for everyone, and older, and vulnerable,  people wouldn't be struggling to get basics.
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Yesterday, I watched the end of the Design Challenge or whatever it's called. They were hugging and kissing. Already, it looks a bit strange 😕 
    In London. Keen but lazy.
