Beyond crazy.

The irony being it’ll kill off the very demographic that delivered Boris his brexit. The elderly.

What are they thinking

This is happening at my hospital as of last night. Patients and staff (me). I hope we have the forehead scanner thingies.

this thing is airborne, people

it spreads even when people don't talk or cough or touch things

You know cleaning things....not touching everything you see...not putting your hands in your mouth like a baby is a good thing even if it isn't a defense against EVERYTHING.
Tree, not be a dick here, but you are wrong. Virus don’t stay in the air that long and It will make a significant difference in the rate of new infections allowing time for support and healthcare systems to adapt.
We are being told that it is not airborne, it is droplet based. There is a difference. Droplets drop and don't remain in the air. Then regular disinfecting is key.

Something I did not anticipate but probably should have: the amount of vitriol and drama on community Facebook pages has SKYROCKETED in the past few days. It's been a joy to watch.

Boomer update: my father-in-law is planning on calling the cable company to threaten to cancel if they don't put sports back on.
Spoiler: show
The man has had multiple strokes and is permanently disabled, so give him a break...but still.

So it's been confirmed that a number of staff members at my wife's college were exposed to someone not associated with the college who's been diagnosed with COVID-19. So they're going to shut it all down and make everyone remote, students and staff. She got this email while driving over there to print some documents, and she's pretty sure she'll be allowed on campus but won't be staying long.
