ps this is a photo of a flu virus, pretty amazing looking little bug(ger)

They're so pretty. I bet California's panicking. Doesn't take much to panic them Americans but specially on the west coast where - without legal and illegal Mexicans - the already dying California economy would be on its knees. Now what they gunno do!
I'm currently in NZ and took my kids to a music group this morning... the lady at the door said she was surprised to see so many people out "what with this swine flu and everything". NZ media is making a really big deal of it, people seem genuinely scared. Maybe I'm being too relaxed?!

Thanks for your input! ;-)


Best,

I saw a couple of blokes selling novelty swine flu masks on the way to work today, 2 for a tenner. NO JOKE!


I also think its a big opportunity for those cheeky northern monkeys Oasis to write a new song. They've pretty much wailed the word 'sunshinnneeeee' to death, so why not chuck in 'swwwwiiiiineeeeee' for a bit of variety.

World Health Organisation has raised its pandemic threat level to the maximum 5 - the next level 6 is when they acknowledge we have a pandemic.

Apparently we are fortunate that we are entering summer and it may die out in summer but it could then resurrect itself in winter.

We are however better prepared than we have ever been, so lets hope it does not materialise.


I have not taken this seriously before today.

It's a timely reminder for us to be more courteous when sneezing and coughing around others, by using a tissue, and for us to improve our personal hygiene. Large numbers of blokes don't wash their hands after the lav, at least according to my evidence, and those that do tend to just run their fingers under the cold water tap. A fifteen-second wash with hand-hot water and soap, rinsing well after washing the finger tips and in between the digits and the wrists should get rid of a lot of dirt and germs. I wash my hands before eating and after being on the bus/tube if I can, as well as after being in the gym and going to the toilet.

"World Health Organisation has raised its pandemic threat level to the maximum 5 - the next level 6 is when they acknowledge we have a pandemic"


What hope do we have when the WHO is basing its threat levels on a Spinal Tap exemplar?

NZ has now made an anti-flu drug "Tamiflu" available over the counter to anyone showing symptoms of flu. $75. Apparently will only be given to people who the pharmacist deems to be showing genuine flu symptoms, yet they suggest anyone showing flu symptoms should stay at home...


Saw face masks being sold for a bargain $2.50 today, but so far haven't seen anyone wearing one. Only a matter of time. In the meantime, 30 people in the region I'm currently staying in have recently been diagnosed with measles, yet that barely warrants a mention in the local paper.

The world gets crazier...


Visitors to our cluster housing are to have their temperature taken on arrival, and if they're over 38 celsius they'll not be allowed entry.


By which time they'll have infected the doorman, who presumably is allowed entry, and of course the residents who they're visiting.

I say we lock down the entire world and prevent anyone from travelling anywhere for any reason.


Anyone with me?


P.S. I've heard unsubstantiated rumours that someone sneezed suspiciously in Dulwich Village this morning - I say we quarantine the whole filthy, disgusting place (DV that is, not ED, of course).

    • Just had this team/ company demolish a front wall, dig out the trees, build a wall, a place for the bins, landscape the front with stones and the liked and lay a new path and porch with a bull nose stone step. We are very happy with their work, diligent and attentive to detail, (it’s always difficult to know until things have bedded in for a few years but) good quality. Excellent communication. They’re very local, they know the East Dulwich clay, that the buildings and grounds are essentially mobile, and very dependant on the temperature and moisture in the ground. I think the key things for us - busy, always in and out, young kids etc - were we felt perfectly safe with them here, I don’t think they mucked about with pricing or quality once we were set (bits and bobs come up and were effortlessly sorted) and all in all, over the time it took for them to get the right quality (for them! the finish is good) we quite liked the team. We’d have them back in a moment, and are very happy to recommend them.
    • Sorry to hear that this is happening to your son. East Dulwich Grove doesn't fall into Dulwich Hill ward, it is split depending on the postcode it would either be Goose Green SNT or Dulwich Village SNT, you may check which one using the link below. On the website would also be the team and any events being held in the future. If it is an emergency please call 999 or non-emergencies 101. https://www.met.police.uk/area/your-area/
    • CIC is not the appropriate vehicle for a fund-raising intermediary.  CICs are for businesses that typically sell something or provide a service for social good  but are not for profit; a community cafe or arts centre, or an IT skills training centre for  unemployed people. it costs £65 to set up  a CIC, the scrutiny is less than for a full charity, and the administrative burden is pretty low if you don’t file accounts. It’s hard to prove a negative, but if you were trying to build a credible, positive case for giving money to street collectors for CityHive CIC, that might be a little harder still… tho thank you, Zahid for joining the Forum to give it a go.
