I use 3M tapes exclusively. If you want to tape something properly then nothing else gets the job done.

 

I usually use a nail gun once they start to struggle.

Their UK head office in Bracknell is boss 

One of my exes used to work there.  Small world.

That's exactly what the CEO of 3M has said in response. Foreign policy 101 which apparently Trump doesn't have an ounce of knowledge about. 

I’m more cleverer than I fink.

They were one of my clients when I worked in London. Used to have a few teams working for them. A very good client for the most part except for one particular cunt woman who we ran a campaign for in their traffic solution stuff. Arguably the worst person I have come across in my professional life. Rude as fuck. I doubt it was her mate unless she was half Chinese?

I really hope you removed the teeth and tongue beforehand. Fucking nightmare otherwise.

Trump ordered 3M to stop exporting face masks to Canada.  He's out of his mind.  

Apparently at least some proportion of the paper products used to make the masks/gowns etc., is produced here in Canada:

The mill is currently working at full capacity to produce a recent double order from the US.

 

Hopefully someone in the government will be able to recognize a bargaining chip when they see one.

Apparently the new Nightingale hospital was expected to have its first patients today but London hospitals are ‘coping’ at the moment so it will be next week before any patients go there.

Just seen this on my Facey. 

 

New lights/masts set up near ours. I don't think they're anything to do with 5G. But, people have said they are and the blue in the photo is meant to be fire, as someone set it alight earlier tonight.

Not specifically directed at you obviously, but given the massive increase in cases, are the other hospitals being fitted out now? They could be needed very soon.

Does this mean people might stop doing death stats like they're the fucking pools results coming in everyday now?

 

That's exactly what I've been fearing at times when posting about the death rate, that it'd come across as something like that.

 

I doubt people will post less stats though if you mean daily figures from different countries, I haven't been posting those either. I was just wondering about the overall death rate of it seeing as it's varying so wildly in different areas. It's not something I've liked posting about though, knowing that those percentages represent so many people dying from what looks like a seriously horrible illness. So now that I have no real belief in the figures I'll be glad to be posting about it a lot less.

So the CDC has changed its guidance on masks.  Americans told to wear cloth masks or face coverings in situations where social distancing not possible. In other words, if you go outside always wear a mask.

Trump's not going to though, and he's the wisest. So wise.

Them masts have been going up everywhere. One went up in Speke the other day. I think it is 5g. 

[Rico1304]

It makes people feel like they are doing something useful.  Involved. A placebo.

I'm sure if they skinned the fat fuck alive, there'd be enough to line several hundred thousand masks and keep the entire Eastern seaboard safe.

It'll be interesting to see if this Van-Tam dickhead maintains his stance on masks in light of the CDC change.  The WHO will surely follow, I'm sure CDC will have consulted them before making that move.  Matt Hancock needs to put Van-Tam in his place on this issue.

For those in the Granada region the Spider-Man fella is 2 mins from me. I’ll be running him over tomorrow.

The big problem in all of this- and I support your mask stance, as long as they work- is that as soon as the word comes down that masks are necessary, there's going to be an instant, massive shortage. You'd hope 'they' are waiting for production to be sufficiently ramped up to cater for everyone before recommending their usage.

People can make home made ones like in Austria, Czech Republic etc.  Nobody will be censured or face legal bother for wearing a home made mask until proper supplies are available.  The wording of the new CDC guidance makes that clear.
