Missing the day to day banality of work. Conference call was most excitement I've had in two weeks lol

I work(ed) in a contact centre. My business stream is getting TUPEd and I'll get a decent wedge. Just panicking about next job though. Too much time on my hands I guess... 

Just ignore me, I was just having an auld b*****d moment, f**k knows what I'll be like when I'm Jacksgranda' age.

Various media reported that more than 40 doctors in Italy have already died „during the corona crisis“. However, a glance at the corresponding list shows that most of the deceased doctors are long retired doctors of all kinds, including 90-year-old psychiatrists and pediatricians, most of whom likely died of natural causes.

Certainly. The person who went into the shops handled shopping, cards (cash if they're a w****r) then brought it back to the car.  The person who went in opened the boot. The person who was waiting in the car got out and helped put the shopping in the car & pushed the trolley back into the trolley shelter. The person who waited closed the boot. The person who went in looks about for their glasses they need to drive. The person who waited gets them out the glove box & touches hands with the person doing the driving. They forgot to put any hand sanitizer in the car but no matter they'll do it when they get in. They get home and one of them puts all the shopping in their two hands and sticks the keys in their mouth. The other person gets to the front door and realises they don't have the keys, turns and takes them out the other's mouth and opens the door. They both get in and are puffed out so put a wee cuppa on first. Then they put all the shopping away between them & finally one of them says to the other that they need to wash their hands.

Pish.  Desperate utter pish.

On the taking the car out point - as long as your car has a valid mot and you drive safely then simply travelling somewhere in a car in itself isn't really an issue right now I dont think. There are probably going to be more people during lockdown doing something fucktarded at home (im thinking Kirk Broadfoot egg on face type incidents) and injuring themselves than there will be road traffic accidents or breakdowns, not least as theres significantly less road traffic for school/work right now.

Roadside assistance if needed should be fine too since you could maintain distancing etc pretty easily I think?

Is it necessary to take the car out for a given journey? If the answer is no then you shouldn't be doing it.

Nitpicking over people taking the Government advice to heart and behaving sensibly is dumb, it just encourages the "It's illegal to call yourself English and Covid19 is a hoax" fuckwits.

Oh, id agree with that, dont get me wrong.

Edit: tbf i might have missed something at the pace the thread is moving at; was just generally trying to say that if you do take the car out - stressing that its for an essential trip i.e. pharmacy/shopping for household staples - then i really doubt theres much added risk solely from the driving alone in terms of accidents adding strain on the NHS. Taking the car out for a pointless scenic drive or to visit a park or the like is still something we shouldnt be doing, since theres a host of little added problems it causes (you'll need to get more petrol/diesel than you normally would which can result in a trip to a petrol station for a start)

You've been fairly sharp in recent days, the auld codgers have upped their game on here while the youngster are worried about how many bins the binman touches in a day. 

I'll need to keep my blue bin for popcorn in 2 or 3 weeks.

Cars are in accidents every day. As far as I am aware planes don't crash into houses every day, nor do trucks crash into living rooms on a regular occurrence. 

You've not watched Coronation Street or Emmerdale then?

Car parks at parks are getting locked, as arseholes are still driving when not necessary.
