Covid-19 Virus

Yes and after a quick wipe clean. still a refreshing drink with diet lemonade on the rocks.

 

So that’s how they put the bubbles into lemonade.

 

Doing the rounds on FB:

 

So another cruise ship is being quarantined, this one off the West coast of America. 3,000 passengers (including 100+ Brits) who have paid a lot of money to be crammed in to tiny rooms in a floating block of flats. Each to their own and all that, but that would be my idea of hell even without covid-19 doing the rounds!

 

A deadly virus on a cruise ship containing the lowest form of British life can only be a good thing.

 

Butlins on a boat. Horrifying. I wonder how many self-overboarded.

 

Covid 19 would be a blessed relief.

 

Wise words from a Specialist Transmittable Disease Doctor -

 

Torpedos away!

 

I honestly couldn't think of anything worse that being there. I'd have to jump for it and take my chances in the ocean.

 

This will be made into a Disney movie franchise 1 day.

Or maybe better as an action movie. Covid-19: The Redemption. Sly Stallone to play lead villain & Arnie as the cop.

 

One of our staff is away on a cruise at the moment and sending back daily pictures of crowded beaches and a massive ship with 1000's of tiny windows "parked" close by. Apparently the fact it's hot, there is some sand and sea (if you shove enough flesh out of the way) and lots to drink makes it a dream holiday. Cattle. Thank **** we aren't all the same and those 1000's of humans would prefer to take their holidays well away from where I want to go.

 

The company certainly know their customers! It's like a cheesy wedding reception for Brexiteer gammons with more unsightly rolls of sweaty flesh on view and no way of escaping.

 

Half of Italy now on lock down.

No Udinese squad players to Watford for a few months then. Watford players can probably refuse a transfer to Udinese on H&S grounds. Unless Gino presents the Glock 19 during the negotiations.

Don't let all that curly hair fool you. He might look like Leo Sayer but the mans an animal.

 

I feel robbed! I hoped this would be the one where all the chavvie scum set about each other.

 

F**k 'em! F**k 'em all. I'm a freeborn Englishman and it's my right so if I want to stockpile I will.

NB One of them's a gammon stock-cube: so take that libtard cucks.

 

We don't have to listen to those feminist diktats anymore since B-day.

 

That’s VERY harsh.
Feminism started in the kitchen in the 60’s.
Check out how Katie gets hubbie to cook the meal and talks down to him in a most patronising manner while extolling the virtues of a stock cube ffs.
Whether we like it or not we poor men will ALWAYS be dominated and women will always control what we do -

Have been in Madrid and no one is panic buying toilet roll over there. What's happening here in the UK and Australia is ridiculous. Clearly too many Holywood movies have overexcited some. Or they've mixed up coronavirus with norovirus which sadly would not surprise me...

 

I came back from Italy on Friday and the panic buying is the same there as it is here. It’s just human nature

Re cruises - I went on one and have never ever seen anybody eat as much as some of the Americans did onboard. Put me off eating for a week and would never go on another one

 

Anyone who wants to know a bit more about the science and why soap is all you need, this (very long) thread is excellent:

An excellent summary of applied surfactant bioscience. It would have been the icing on the cake to mention the surfactant forming micelles of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) around the denatured viral products (my PhD) to facilitate the solubilisation and removal of these from the surface as an aqueous dispersion - but that's me being a nit-picking pedantic w**kstain.

For anyone vaguely interested this used to be the introductory text (looking around there are now 100's of them) .

 

Ok m8, don’t get yourself in a lather about it.

I assume that the writer had taken it as read that all readers would already have that very basic background knowledge before reading the article. No point in treating all the readers like 10 year olds.

 

2 week forum ban. I'm off to wash my hands and eyeballs.

 

I 'get' what your saying but I'm regularly amazed at meeting extremely senior industrial scientists (especially in the pharma industry) who have no concept of surfactant/colloidal science. The blank looks on their faces when you point out that most modern 'drugs' are hydrophobic chemicals ('oils') that are supposed to 'work' ('dissolve') in an aqueous environment ('water') and how did they think that happens.

 

Who here honestly believes it genuinely started via a sea food market that had otherwise been perfectly safe for decades prior?

Smells fishy to me.

Don’t you bring your prejudice-motivated hate crime language onto our family forum.
I’ve a good mind to spray you with my favourite humectant.
