So that's where all the toilet roll and pasta has gone...

This is where the Golf 8 has gone wrong. All the climate controls etc have moved to the touch screen. It's a backwards step (and touch screens look crap with greasy fingerprints after 10 minutes).

Yes, I think the site is a few hours behind the numbers. So 34.4% mortality then?

Yet Harry hails it as a great thing to use in reality. Have you tried it? Sat in a work colleague's, yes. Haven't actually driven it though, but I'm not sure that's so different. At the end of the day how can, say, adjusting the aircon be easier in that than with tactile buttons that I can place my...

Still, at least we've got Glastonbury to look forward to, eh?

Better pension annuity rates?

Numbers of people diagnosed, had a week of feeling shit and then recovered??

Could do with a positive story..

Terrible for this country so far. Closed cases show 8 deaths and 19 recovered. That's a 29.6% mortality rate.

Rev and Dave have it right. The point about a lockdown is that you stop the spread from one person to the other. If everyone who has it is contained and subsequently recovers then you effectively kill off the disease. Until you start social distancing you can't get a lid on it.

That screen is hateful, nothing upmarket or smart about that at all. Dave! Word. I can't fathom those people who think that a single screen is the right place to put all information and deal with all interactions. It's ridiculous. They put a screen in the Model 3 because it's cheap to do and it's o...

Just give them some Rich Energy drink and send them back out. They'll be fine.

Put my $500 on Pork Bellies and Orange Juice, Randolph!

Good reference!

I see Tom Hanks has got it.

Our policy has shifted overnight, and reading the comments here it looks like the we're exercising the most caution.

Being a 90% mobile workforce anyway, and we also provide the remote access technology ourselves on our own network, it's easy for people to work from home.

Radio is now all fixed, have had no issues, so that's something. Yay! Would you have expected it to have played up by now normally? Re; Stop/start. When I was only going into the office once a week (46 mile round trip) my stop start wasn't triggering. Then last week I took it on a 150 mile trip up ...

Yeah, good point.

How is everyone's workplace handling this? I'm really pleased with what we've announced so far. It's likely I won't see the office again till April, or maybe later.

An interesting article on the modelling here.

Aye, they've been taking late stage Coronavirus patients out to the hospital car park and knocking them over with the village bus. Bingo. 0 Coronavirus deaths.

There are some funny differences internationally. E.g. Germany currently has 1622 cases of which 3 are dead and 9 are listed in serious/critical condition (i.e. <1% death or serious illness) vs Italy has 10,149 cases of which 631 dead and 877 seriously/critically unwell (~15%). France, Spain, South...

We are clean out of Carling Black Label Multi Packs in Port Talbot, my dad is furious.

I can’t remember the last time I heard someone use Carling’s full name
