So that's 80 MPs out of 650 who aren't authoritarian bootlicking weasels then. Genuinely surprised the number was that high. #coronavirus #lockdown2
Boris Johnson, the man who considered himself a Churchill, but ended up being a Hitler. So much for that legacy... #coronavirus #lockdown
Me and the team just had our first virtual pub lunch. Conducted over video conference, with a screen share to do the pub quiz! #covid19 #coronavirus won't beat human ingenuity (and desire for a pint with friends)
The day job has activated its force majeure clause; almost all UK and EU research infrastructure is shutting down except for priority #coronavirus research. Staff that can being ordered to work from home.
PSA to some of those still saying that "it's ok, because #CoronaVirus is just like the flu"... remember, most of you who said you've had flu and were ok... haven't had the flu. You just had a bad cold. Flu is next level shit, and #Covid19 is _worse_
While not "officially", for all practical purposes my day job's offices has shut down because of #coronavirus. Just finished our first standup over VC - my team appearing in little windows like The Brady Bunch. If this is the new normal, I think we can deal.
