For corona just leave it somewhere for three days between uses. The viable virus doesn't survive that long on anything but clean stainless steel surfaces.

Angelwolf posted:Tell me how you propose 'actual governance in the proper way' should work in a pandemic of a new virus and which party you think would do it better. For a start our government were the only ones in the world (at the time) that openly promoted a "take it on the chin" approach, and their actions to date suggest that it's still the cornerstone of the plan. They've waited for the public or the private sector to make/demand changes before stepping in with vague advice that matches the trend. Sports stopped of their own accord. Businesses were shutting and social distancing happening before Boris' Big Day in front of the camera. They're not ordering ventilators from manufacturers because that would cost more money and generate fewer positive headlines than commissioning studies on whether Dyson can make one. For a week or so our government had the worst response in the world imo. Thankfully they're too spineless and PR-driven to be outdone by the mentalists in charge of Brazil, the US etc. who are cracking further up with each passing day. And the Dutch "followed the science" by announcing herd immunity for all as their strategy (their early response was stronger than ours though iirc). It was a new virus but we weren't hit first. We had significant data from China, Korea and Italy by the time it was clear this was coming. But our scientists plugged in the numbers for "just a flu, bro" and decided that was fine (wait, no, they didn't do that they just said they did. The only "science" that "changed" was their behavioural scientists discovered the public won't actually accept 250k deaths and most of us would rather stay home from work). The media are whitewashing the whole thing as best they can, as part of their role for the establishment keeping the public calm and happy. They don't put our death counts in headlines any more because that might make us think the government hosed things up. They'll show Spain's though. A left wing government here would be getting it both barrels, especially if we'd shut down when Italy and most of the continent did (and stopped loving Cheltenham from going ahead), and kept the tally lower.

Kitchner posted:I don't think the question was about the response the government has chosen to take, it was specifically about governance i.e. How are things being run. "We were following the science" is just spin. Blame the scientists, blame the public, blame the footballers etc. Boris was shaking hands with coronavirus patients at the beginning of March, did his chief medical officer agree with that? Our scientists and experts came to the same conclusions in their studies as everyone else's: herd immunity via vaccine is the only real solution, and hundreds of thousands could die in the meantime if we do nothing. Our government then went "great, let's do nothing then", unlike most of the rest of the world, who wanted to do a radical thing like safeguarding as many lives as possible. They're still not ordering ventilators from actual manufacturers. As Trump said, those ventilators will be surplus to requirements in a year or so, so it's not cost-effective (the economic science backs that up!) The government's behavioural scientists concluded (via classic British exceptionalism) that people here simply wouldn't put up with any sort of lockdown or social restrictions, and had to backtrack when we started doing it without their instruction. Businesses worth hundreds of millions shut themselves down to protect lives and their own reputations. We had to wait for "the right time", supposedly, but that turned out to be right when a majority of the public (and most of Europe) had already acted. Fancy that. Scientists are cold, unfeeling monsters at the best of times, and those in administrative positions within government are twice as likely to sacrifice us all to the dark gods of efficiency, rationality and keeping their bosses looking good. Studies and findings are only as good as what you try to do with them. The government poo poo the bed by using the science to attempt a speed run of a pandemic, and now has the BBC, Guardian et al scurrying the sheets down to the washing machine for them.

The kids from the house in front of mine have started riding their little scooters up and down my driveway, and hanging out near my car. I guess because it's smoother and safer than the layby in front of their house and hidden from parents (their mother is an rear end in a top hat for sure) but the grouchy old coot in me does not like it one bit. I think building some speed bumps could be a good project.

Jose posted:close the curtains I have living room curtains but not in the hallway or the glass on the front door, and my downstairs is pretty open plan so there are theoretically angles where people could get an eyeful. Usually it's just the postman though because it's a private driveway sheltered from the road, you'd have to be trying to look to see anything. Put my bin out, no dead kids. Single bag, only half full. Not sure how I'm throwing away so little every two weeks, corona is doing wonderful things for the planet.
