Yes, the support team are an essential service if something goes wrong, but the sales team? Anyone who has worked in a call centre know that they are some of the mankiest places going with shared working space. My mate works there and he's had his sales target trebled from last month (It's on a week to week basis) with new cut price deals available to take advantage of everyone being at home. One of the biggest sources of the outbreak in Korea was a call centre. Amazed they weren't one of the first places to shut- and why can't you do that sort of job from home? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's purely because the sediment isn't being stirred up by constant water traffic. They'll still be battering the canals full of sewage, used olive oil, etc etc FWIW, the Union canal still looks like the bottom of my toilet bowl after a 12 hour session on the Guinness for some reason.

Tight minge Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 U.S.A. U.S.A the chant raised from the estatic and over enthusiastic fans as the US takes the top podium position. Who would have thought two months ago that China would fall from the medal position. Like most sports, the latter stages are when profesional training, dedication and experience shine through and China has been shown to be sorely lacking in that department when challenged by the might of 'Murica and the flair and experience of Spain and Italy. For now away goals may still count and Italy and Spain are well ahead of the US on that score. However, from our source within Team Americas training camp suggests the US have the will and ability to push on to greater things. The UK is slowing finding some form now and getting themselves into a stronger position. There is a feeling that the '11th man' is spurring the UK on as rapturous applause broke out around the stadium in support of the increasing numbers. India and Indonesia are slowing climbing the table but a long way off to be serious contenders and our roving report has a scoop from his mate in Mumbai, that they have some immunity and eating rotten vegetables turns out to be the cure. NHS we understand are working closely with the supermarket chains to buy up all the discarded out of date fruit and veg. Is Brazil worth the watching? With flair and familiarity to the business end of major tournaments they have been creeping up the table, but do they have the discipline and fortitude to make a serious challenge? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tight minge Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 No we're not? Italy and the UK have never plotted at the same point until now, we're crossing over their "curve" just now rather than following it. Closest curve for us seems to be China. Lockdown done with less than half the deaths at the time Italy done it. Spain obviously far worse.Maybe too much reliance solely on this kind of data. Certainly it show trends, but to micro analyse points on the chart really is irrelevant at this point.The chart does not take into account a lot of real life situations. As mentioned before ageing populations, close proximity in urban areas, how figures are collated (massaged) and reported. As an example, I understand UK borders are still open so in effect a new carrier could arrive by plane at any point and start up a new cluster.What we can take is the general curve which seems to be bad but not transitioning at this point into something much worse as in Spain or Italy.The government really messed up things at the outset, but seem to be fumbling in the right direction now, which hopefully helps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the filming guy needs a shave, not very hygienic imo. Hopefully there will be more power to the police to handle this. Saying 'go home or I will say go home again louder'. Doesn't seem to be a deterant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buchan30 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 I know this has probably been covered before in this thread and apologies that i am not going back through to find it. But in short, what has South Korea done differently that has seen their cases curve less than the rest of us? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
