That makes no sense I mean we detected Spanish Flu was a more potent flu strain and that was over 100 years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted March 18, 2020 Moderator Share Posted March 18, 2020 It's great how the community come together to help each other in times of need but some offers are a step too far It didn't take long for lots of people to reply with pretty much the same response of er no thanks, the place isn't clean. It may well be an architectural marvel but it was on the slide when they made the TV programme about it, its been getting progressively worse in the last 25 years There was a time that googling the words Brothel and Liverpool, the Adelphi would feature in the top three returns When cheap publicity shots backfire I guess 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except for all the florists buying Ferrari’s. With no mitigation whatsoever this would have killed about 500,000 in UK alone. If people can’t deal with a few weeks inconvenience to reduce that number by a factor of ten... **** them, frankly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it seems logical , schools on Friday , lockdown on Monday but equally I don’t know the client personally well enough to validate what they said is the WhatsApp one you are referring to , the one from people posting random pictures of army trucks and soldiers on streets with no time reference and how they were going to announce it late on Thursday so nobody would have time to react ?

A similar one. It won't be Thursday night as the schools are open on Friday and I can't see them doing it on a Friday night/Saturday morning. Monday seems more sensible if that is the right word.
