    Coronavirus: Future of airlines and airports

    When everything returns to normal will the airfares? What with conference calling and the such I think flying in the future will return to being a luxury, a once in a lifetime experience

    Coronavirus.

    The problem is we’ve closed down all our regional laboratories and centralised everything, to get to the point where we can’t even manufacture our own reagent is extremely worrying...

    My local one has closed simply because of lack of business, I had a chat with the owner on the night it closed and he only had a single customer, me

    Being as it can take 14 days for symptoms to show and we only went into lockdown last week I would expect cases to peak next week

    Coronavirus.

    Boris said the lockdown will be reviewed every 3 weeks, frankly there’s no chance of it being lifted on the 13th. In fact, there might be even more stringent restrictions coming up

    Coronavirus.

    This morning I’ve just had a call asking me to come back to the NHS as I used to be a lab technician, they really are getting desperate if they’re trying to recruit people who haven’t worked for them in years!

    Enforcement of the new rules on social distancing, unnecessary journeys etc.

    I can pretty much guarantee that if this lockdown continues there will be major unrest in parts of London. Possibly bigger than the 2011 riots.

    Coronavirus.

    Unfortunately it’s definitely their hygiene and eating practices. There’s still a handful of Bubonic Plague cases a year in Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang because people are foolish enough to eat BBQ marmots.

    Serious questions need to be asked of China. Almost every major epidemic/pandemic of written history has originated there, from the Black Death to Covid-19...

    Buses and the coronavirus

    I’ve also just had an email saying that Megabus services are being withdrawn from the 5th of April, surely it’s only a matter of time before National Express do the same?
