Advice On COVID-19 From The Christie Hospital In Manchester.
This is a comment on COV-19 Isn’t Good For Chuggers.
I am not surprised. although I won’t be seeing many chuggers. Was at Christie this morning and the dept I was in are telling their patients to stay indoors as much as possible and keep washing our hands. Avoid shopping centres, department stores, restaurants, sports stadia, etc, but we can go on walks in the open air if we aren’t close up to people. I did say that is difficult and boring, he pointed out that it is better than the alternative.
Surely, the Christie would know what they are doing!
As Fraser would say! “We’re all doomed!”
LEON Scraps China Cups Because Of COVID-19
LEON used to offer proper china mugs in their restaurants.
Not in every one, but in some that I use.
But not any more, as last week. they were using paper cups.
I was assured that as soon as they can the china mugs will return.
Isis Issues Coronavirus Travel Advice: Terrorists Should Avoid Europe
The title of this cost is the same as this article on the Sunday Times.
This is the introductory paragraph.
The Isis terrorist group is steering clear of Europe because of the coronavirus. Having previously urged its supporters to attack European cities, the group is now advising members to “stay away from the land of the epidemic” in case they become infected.
I think on balance, this could be a good thing, given that Iran doesn’t seem to be very successful in controlling the coronavirus.
COV-19 Isn’t Good For Chuggers
Outside Marks & Spencer on Dalston Kingsland Road this morning, I was accosted by a chugger.
I told him that because of the coronavirus, that I wouldn’t be stopping.
He gave a knowing look and allowed me to walk on!
He didn’t look pleased and I suspect, I wasn’t the first to give him that excuse.
My Past Is Worrying Me!
It must have been in the early 1970s, when I was acting as a mathematical-modelling consultant.
I was asked to do some modelling by a major drug company of the propagation of a virus through the UK population.
Their aim was to show how serious these pandemics could be and they wanted to get substantial grants from the Government to fund various lines of research.
With their data and the model I built, we were able to show how a dangerous pandemic could evolve.
But I never found out how successful they were in obtaining the money needed to start the research!
It does look like this pandemic could be the one that researchers at the company were predicting nearly fifty years ago.
Is The COVID-19 Having An Affect On Lending At Zopa?
I lend money on Zopa and at the moment no-one seems to be borrowing any money.
I put some of my pension in my lending pot into the peer-to-peer lender each month and it’s still there sitting safely in the queue for a borrower.
Perhaps everybody is being cautious because of the COVID-19 alert
