Are you adding him to the Coronasaints thread or should I?

250,000 people signed up to volunteer and help take pressure off the NHS front lines staff. Well done folks.

 

Big shout out for the forces personnel as well. Frequently overlooked for thanks but these boys and girls get all the shitty jobs for precious little reward.

I know Charles has been desperate for the  'crown' but not this desperate.

For anyone trying to get hold of HSBC for a mortgage holiday there is now an online e-sign form available on their website which you can complete with your mortgage account number, sort code and basic information and it submits when signed. Link below for anyone who may be looking.

I think I owe about 300 quid on my HSBC mortgage, with 9 years or so left on the term to pay it. I wonder what they'd say if I applied for a mortgage holiday.

That is most definitely a Viz character just waiting to happen.

We already had this.

They’d just say yes.

 

I don’t need one but I’m thinking of taking one. Save myself the best part of £2k over 3 months and then pay an extra £10pm over the course of the term.

So now we know lizards can get it too.

Let’s see if it can transcend more species and infect Camilla.

Although I don’t believe it, that herd immunity stuff is interesting.

 

If true, it would begin to answer why our fatalities haven’t taken off the same way Italy or Spain have. Although there is still, obviously / unfortunately, plenty of time for that to change.

For anyone with with kids in isolation, apparently Amazon Prime Video have made some of their original kids shows free to watch. You just need to sign in with an Amazon account. No Prime needed. 
 

God bless Jeff Bezos. Really stepping up to the plate. 

And Disney Plus came out yesterday. 
 

For anybody trying to watch via an Apple TV and an old 720hp HDMI cable, note it won’t work. I nearly smashed my TV up yesterday wondering why there was no video and only audio. Turns out you need a 1080hp HDMI cable for it to work.

I don't usually post here because I hate everyone.  But this Oxford University study is very easy to debunk.  If 50% of the UK population had been infected you would expect this to show in the results on those that have already been tested.  As of yesterday approximately 90,000 people had been tested in the UK. If 50% were infected then you'd expect around 45,000 confirmed cases, but we're currently on about 8,000.  Oxford University are talking shit, in my opinion.

Will Prince Charles be looking to his homeopathic chums to sort this? Maybe diluting a bottle of corana in a swimming pool and drinking a glass. 

[Grinch]

Let's hope the parasite takes out his whole family.

The virus wouldn't be present in people who have been infected and recovered. Only when we have an antibody test will we know exactly how many people have had it.

I'm fairly certain I have it. Started with a dry cough yesterday and high temperature today, been in bed all day don't have the energy to move. Or I've got the flu.

It would still be nearer 45,000 than 8,000 if 50% were infected. 

 

Also, fuck off you absolute whopper.  Anyone who compares this to flu is not worthy of my time. You've made a tit of yourself all over this thread, unsurprisingly.

I didn't compare it to flu. Happy to help.

I’m more interested in this herd immunity strategy the government stopped pursuing. I wonder if they made the right call blinking first...

Prince Andrew said he couldn't have caught it from Charles as he was in Pizza Hut at the time.

Will Prince Andrew struggle to tell that he's got a fever as he doesn't sweat?

Prince Charles has tested positive. Adam Boulton trying not to smile as he announced it on Sky.

 

He’s been ‘working from home...’

 

Quite. 

I think Boulton has one of those dials that just looks like a perma smirk, much like Priti Patel, don’t know if he has beef with Charles like.

Some woman I know has moved in with her ex husband and his new Mrs. The one he was having an affair with for the lat 18 months of their marriage. Her parents literally do everything for her so she wont be able to cope on her own. Both of them have to stay away as they have underlying health problems.

 

Her ex husband has been guilt tripped into doing it as she said he probably wouldn't see them for 3 months. 

 

This isn't going to end well. 

There's a decent sitcom in it.
