Johnson with his ridiculous, baseless use of 'brilliant' and 'fantastic' regardless of what he's talking about - presumably to give people a boost, to induce a sense of optimism. You get the same thing with Trump. They must think people are stupid. Trump is still bumbling through this, but he seems to be taking it seriously at least.

Three month holiday for mortgages but nothing for rent? Can you propose how the government enforces this?

At the very least waive the five week wait for housing benefit.

Seems as though everybody at my job who can work from home will be doing so effective immediately. I'm one of the few chumps that can't. Oh well...

From another forum:
I work for the worlds largest CRO, as well as trialling 3 vaccines we’re currently trialling an antibody treatment (from Elli Lily and AbCellera) against human tissue for cross reactivity. These are potent antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 that recognise the spike protein through different epitopes on the surface of the virus. No timelines but if there is no reaction it’d be a huge step in effectively treating those that get infected with COVID-19.

Three month holiday for mortgages but nothing for rent? I was thinking about this on a walk I took today. I'm lucky I can work from home and am not in current danger of losing a job because of this thing, but lots of people aren't. I wonder if there was a way where landlords could just see to break even for a few months. I'm thinking about contacting my property management company in Eugene, where I own a home I rent, and asking what my tenants situation is.

You get the same thing with Trump. They must think people are stupid. Trump is still bumbling through this, but he seems to be taking it seriously at least. Fucking finally. Being that he cares about himself and maybe his direct family and no one else, it's finally hit close enough to home that he's shaken enough to at least try. Not too pleased with him referring to it as "the Chinese Virus" on Twitter - Chinese Americans aren't particularly happy either - but at least he's not calling it a Democrat hoax any more.

He was also stepping aside and deferring to experts in the last press conference I saw.
There's a first for everything, I guess.

We'll see how long that lasts.

A UK lockdown is surely inevitable now, there's too many people ignoring the advice. My instagram is full of local cafes and bars actively encouraging people to use them and you can't really blame them. Their livelihoods are at stake and there's no insurance coverage.
I've left my number with close neighbours. I'm also working with setting up a local mutual aid group.

Belarus is the only other country in Europe that still has schools open.

My instagram is full of local cafes and bars actively encouraging people to use them and you can't really blame them. Their livelihoods are at stake and there's no insurance coverage. My wife's been asked to work from home for the next 3 months (her boss is in charge of urgent care for the NHS in the North West, btw), and I've been asked to work from home whenever possible. Unfortunately, because everyone is working from home, the VPN system is overloaded and it's impossible to get anything done, so I'm half-isolated with the handful of others who are coming into the office who actually need decent network connections.
