Somewhat busier than a normal Saturday, but not Xmas levels. No real shortages, except soap, which was, er... cleaned out. Plenty of bog roll and foodstuffs. Paracetamol was running low, but I got two packets - mainly because I'm suffering from sciatica atm, and I usually need a painkiller in the middle of the night.

Ish. Most of the route is down the A36 and back. The only 18th century street it takes in is Great Pulteney St which is wide enough to land a jumbo jet on. Most people I know who were doing it are staying at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 This guy is on a team of modellers who are actually feeding into the Uk govt strategy, so definitely relevant insights in this thread. He seems to be suggesting that the focus on “herd immunity” may be a comms misstep rather than a strategy problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that’s because they cancelled the rugby mid afternoon yesterday when loads of people were already here or en route and it was too late to cancel hotels. Cancelling when the town centre was already full of Scots felt a bit like the worst of both worlds. You can all use your annual leave, spend your money, travel on trains and buses, meet up for a day in the pub. But no rugby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 (edited) I’m down to my last 10 toilet rolls now, I’m gonna jazz the baseball bat up with some barbed wire and head off to Tesco soon.
