I thought I was reading some spoof site there.  Covid-19 seems to meet every one of the bullets in the definition. 

Depends on what's the definition of "typically has a high case-fatality rate"  

It seems to fit all the others.

Accountants are crucial. Crucial. Honestly.

Made an online application for the £10k small business grant.

There’s a bit in the blurb saying I will need to declare it on my next company tax return.  I assume it will be treated as income and, therefore, if we do any better than break-even in the year, it  be clawed back in part as Corporation Tax.

The government giveth and the government taketh away...

I can see why they are regarded as essential with all the new salary regulations and whatnot, but you’d have thought they’d be able to work from home to a greater or lesser degree.

I went to Holyrood Park yesterday evening.  It was a lovely walk. People were really good - making sure they maintained a good distance from each other and passing on the grass verges. Didn't go up Arthur's Seat but walked round . 

Some joggers running together were the only examples I saw that you could argue weren't in clear family groups and were too close. Might live together though, who knows.

All safe and following the social distancing guidelines perfectly. Was nice to see. 

If everyone in my area exercised within half a mile of our homes it would literally be congested streets, which would be absolutely fucking stupid versus a giant expanse of grass.

I think you're grossly overestimating the number of people who will actually be doing some exercise.

Just got off the phone to a receptionist at an Edinburgh construction firm. Poor woman was almost in tears at being forced to come into work. 

There's quite a few close to breaking point in my place also.

It's not helped matters that the majority of Management, HR, Risk and Business Analysts are all working from home while the "troops" man the trenches.

Ah! I've broken the code. It's only with overtly political posts. 

Carry on.

eta        on second thoughts, you just forgot.  Pressure.

I'm using the Granny Danger calculator.

In that case it needs its batteries changed, you're out by a factor of at least x10

That’s essential.  
 

If my windows are dirty I won’t be able to see which neighbours go out for a second walk and grass them up to the polis.

 

Your gardener will be cursing you when he reads what Nicola said.

That Tory with the fancy car told me not to work for him.
