Welcome to Britain in 2020... British households told to prepare for blackouts as coronavirus lockdown goes on Vulnerable people told to ‘keep a torch, hat, gloves and blanket handy’ https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/coronavirus-update-lockdown-power-cuts-blackout-electricity-advice-a9437691.html?amp British households have been told to prepare for blackouts by keeping torches and warm clothes handy as the coronavirus lockdown continues. Energy firms have suspended all non-essential work as they brace for a potential shortage in engineers caused by staff sickness and self-isolation. The National Grid has sought to reassure the British public it can cope with the surge in demand as people stay indoors and work from home during the outbreak. However, UK Power Networks, which provides electricity to the southeast and east of England, including London, has written to vulnerable customers with advice on what to do if there is a power cut. |

British American Tobacco (BAT), the FTSE 100 company behind Lucky Strike and Dunhill, said it could be producing up to 3m million doses of a vaccine a week by June - far faster than rivals, which are expecting to take at least a year. BAT intends to start trialling its vaccine in humans as soon as possible. It is running pre-clinical tests and holding urgent talks with US drug authorities to fast-track permissions. The treatment is being developed by the company's health division Kentucky BioProcessing (KBP), which has previously come up with a drug to combat Ebola. It claims to have found an antibody that appears to fight Covid-19, and is manufacturing this using genetically modified tobacco plants.... I hope this is not an April Fool's joke though.

Hello Nairalanders Please advice is needed on the best approach to rent a house in the midst of Covid. Agent already provided a short video for virtual tour. What if the video does not portray the conditon of the house? Holding deposit is not refundable if intending tenant pulls out of the deal. Pls help an urgent decision needs to be made. |

Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by DisGuy: 7:42pm On Apr 01, 2020 |
Healhtyliving: Best not to rush with a move unless it an emergency or absolutely necessary. Many will be desperate to close deals asap knowing the coming months is very uncertain Ask them you are will to do social distance viewing. The agent can stay outside while you take a look yourself 1 Like |

Mellady: I have nothing nice to say about health workers? You’re gifted in selective reading. You somehow missed the post where I praised health workers but focused on my criticism of the fact that health workers are running away from treating/curing. One sweet fact about this virus is that even if you don’t catch it in the hospital, you’ll still catch it in a shop or from your kids. It’s more honourable to at least catch it while doing your job- so you’d go down as a hero, not a coward. Truth dey pain sha- I’ve said my own; take or leave. 3 Likes |

Aphrodite007:I've been following the discussion, and I must admit, however right your view is, it was presented in an insensitive manner. Their job is to treat people, but giving their whole best to a job while endangering themselves poses even more threat. Nobody signed up to die. I'm not a health worker BTW 11 Likes |

For the pet lovers in the house. How do I tell my neighbours that their cute cat is a bully without sounding too crazy. My cat came home with a black eye two days ago when I checked the CCTV, I saw her being attacked by the neighbours cat. She’s stayed in for two days and hasn’t been eating properly. I think she is traumatised. See what Cov19 has caused. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqDAxluryaQ |

Lexusgs430: Seriously, any healthcare professional still actively going to work right now deserves great accolades oo. It is really ridiculous that they have to fight for something as basic as adequate PPE to do their jobs when construction professionals and Soldiers sent off to fight other countries has standardized and up to date weaponry. I believe if half of funds designated for fighting other peoples wars is transferred to NHS, we would not be in this mess. When my hubby told me they ration the "tissue" mask for 4hrs, I thought it was his trust but now I can see its a general rule across NHS most likely and this so called mask is not in any way adequate for protection. If the government can do their part by providing a good environment and equipment to work, people will be willing to fight Covid 19 aggressively and uphold their Hippocratic oath because we definitely don't send soldiers to War zone without adequate intelligence and standardized weaponry to vaporize enemies. The constant fear families of healthcare professionals face EVERYDAY right now in this country and back home considering a large percentage are immigrants deserves them to also consider the oath made to their families, because my people e no easy with kids, pregancy and vulnerable parents living with some of us. But as usual, may God protect us all and make we dey clap dey go 2 Likes |

@marylandcakes I'm not sure your neighbor will be able to do anything about their bully apart from making sure it doesn't leave their home. Their cat was practically staring down your own boldly(his/her body language was predatory), while yours was on the defensive and trying to give jabs prematurely till she was knocked down and chased too. Perhaps she is still afraid and may have to remain indoors more for a period of time while her confidence builds back. I'm sure the bully will be waiting outside every night to deal.with her,he/she seems like an expert at it. Sorry o. 1 Like |
