Covid-19

Definitely a few more cars on the roads in the last few days.
Just enough to be noticeable. 

I'm planning on being outside for a fair bit of today.....So I'll see how many go past.
I'd guess that the few 'white vans' that have traveling recently, will be having a 'day off'.

We'll see.

I went for my daily exercise walk this morning and way more cars on the ring road than normal for 7.15 on a Sunday . Generally I'll barely hear a car at that time, other then the odd one off to church.

My hope is they will  as I work in careers and I think we might be needed to help with post Covid reconstruction; even if it is helping prospective  hunter gatherers and tribal militiamen with retraining

Might improve standards of UK food.

I like your optimism here!  Reintroducing  agriculture and distributing seeds should provide many full time jobs alone. 
Indeed, hope your furlough is short.

This is how I imagine post COVID-19 society

I keep reading that as 'furlong', in which case it should be exactly the same length as everyone else's . . .

So, pretty much a typical day at Walmart.
Technical question: why did the arrow-head lady's head fall off?

I was thinking more "I am Legend"

IRC correctly it had been glued on after she had been decapitated- its a class movie

[Techno]

What was the 'widget' that decapitated her ?

Looked like Matey, who was the 'cause', was firing some sort of crossbow. Was it firing some sort of sharpened frisbee ?

It is probably best to see the film in its entirety, it is widely panned but I love its overall lunacy - its sort of a homage to eighties  scif/horror films but set in London and Scotland

Oh, and here's a quote from one of the characters:

'Like so many epidemics before, the loss of so many lives began with a single microscopic organism. It's human nature to seek even the smallest comfort in reason, or logic for events as catastrophic as these. But a virus doesn't choose a time or place. It doesn't hate or even care. It just happens.'
