Coronavirus: Better Call Sol - CORONAMANIA (5 Viewers)

[jonah]

An Italian friend with a poorly parent there just told me that they are now giving preferential ICU spaces to the under 60's, which is logical I guess, but again highlights how brutally this may escalate here.

Plus our healthcare system is way less equipped than Northern Italy

My friends sister works in Cork hospital. Said there’s 3 new confirmed cases there today.

Ryanair to cancel all Italian flights for a month, and Spain to cancel all flights *over* Italy. Not sure I get how the latter works.....

@Cornu Ammonis as our resident scientist, is the above an unreasonable thing to say based on an admittedly very cursory look at the numbers? Because I'm about to dive into the realm of speculation about death rates.

That seems reasonable enough to me but I’m not an epidemiologist.

The sister says that Trinity has cancelled all lectures

Lectures are to be delivered online but small group teaching and practical classes are going ahead. Presumably they will move the likes of tutorials to bigger venues now that there are no lectures on, so that students can be spread out away from each other.

the coronavirus is cancelled imo. just fuck off like

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

All a bit of a palaver

Life will go on as normal after this kerfuffle

Too many people invested in it for it not to

I think they have to have redundancy plans for emergency landing

 

[David Kronenbourg]

Aha! You're getting an informative tick for that

HA I mean yeah of course that'll happen. It's not like Trinity's admin is so fucking moronic that they won't do this at all, is it? Oh hang on a minute

Heard 4 users of Thumped have tested positive for it. Pete made them sign NDAs

 

[David Kronenbourg]

I was thinking if we were made work from home, that I'd still come into the office. Like, I wouldn't catch anything if I was the only one here. Fucked if I'm gonna sit on my hole in the gaff for 2 weeks if I can help it. 3 days during the beast of the east did my head in.

 

[David Kronenbourg]

I want to work from home as I have a few personal projects I want to work on. Haven't had much time with work commitments. Do it you cowards

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

I also don't want to work from home, I'll be expected to get actual work stuff done

 

[hydromancer]

I suspect that I've got it

 

[dudley]

Peter Rabbit 2 release delayed.....truly this is the end

 

[jonah]
