If I get Corona, once I have finished with it, I am going to take it back and get a tanner for it.

Happy for you - but the threat of the corona virus is doing the exact opposite for me - my grandson is likely to do that any time soon, but I won't be able to visit and see him.
Genuinely a chance to support your local trader here.
Just back from shopping. I have panic bought a large bulb of ginger and FOUR carrots from Tiba and a four pint takeaway of a pretty decent IPA, along with a packet of pork scratchings from The Foghorn. And that is going to be my routine from now on. Little, local and often. When all of this is over these places will still get my custom and I'll be avoiding Tesco whenever I can. Support your local trader, they've never needed it more

So it is a good thing then as we live in a mixed global economy.
He won't be able to answer for a while so, by all means, carry on debunking his nonsense

This is well worth quoting / cross posting from the main thread.

NHS have made a deal with the private sector - 20,000 more nurses and 8,000 beds added, 1,200 more ventilators also.

What do you do if your holiday to Reykjavik is cancelled & you'd planned to propose whilst there?

Yes I was going to post in here also
Very good news, could make an absolutely huge difference to the amount of losses, over a thousand more ventilators also available.

You'd quoted my other post this afternoon so have just edited it to the right one so it makes sense. Your words unchanged.
I agree there could be something fishy about it, saving that thought for another thread though.
For 20 weeks I'll get to help my ten year old son with...: Spelling, maths, science videos on YouTube, emailing friends and faraway cousins, making pizza at home, learning chess, playing Monopoly and Go For Broke, playing footie in the park early in the day or when it's raining (social distancing 
), reading his school novels so we can talk about them, watch him score some great goals on FIFA, fail to convert him from a Chelsea supporter to the Seagulls, listen to his footie terminology such as 'top bins, megs, roulette, trevally (?!?), try to help him understand why we all need to follow the scientific advice but not to over-worry beyond that, and to let him reassure me in return when I have a wobbly or forget to wash my hands, think with him on what 'hello again' present to buy his teacher who'll be sending the class daily motivational emails with their work tasks, watch evening movies with him (some of them repeatedly 
), snap at each other sometimes when we have cabin fever, listen to the music that HE likes, laugh uncontrollably at something silly.... wow, this'll keep us busy

I'm not usually good at keeping in contact with people and even some of my best mates I only really speak to every few months or so when we plan a meet up. But as everyone is stuck in for a while with no plans, I've already caught up with loads of friends over video call over the last week, and a few we've decided to make it a weekly thing to give us something to look forward to. So I'm actually speaking to them more than I usually do!
