Roughly about 30-40 my Brother-in-law worked for many decades in the industry started as a teenager and worked his way up to a foreman then supervisor, worked after retirement age just because he enjoyed it, but his knees were giving out with all the climbing of stairs as they work on many Industrial buildings that are 20 stories or more and no elevator, a lot of stairs as one gets older. He is still in good shape for a man his age. as a Supervisor he didn't do the physical work.

when fitting saftey flooring in toilets we free hand round toilets if they are fixed using a stannley knife with a hooked blade/ same with floor tiles in council houses, most days you would get at least 1 toilet to cut around on a bad day you might get a flight of toilets ie girls cloakroom/dirty job but not as bad as beeing a plumber.

Fine, but why put your head over the toilet and not beside it? I don't care how many toilets you cut around no need to put your head in the toilet!!! 😉 I see some of the bad jobs done around toilets, some just can't cut properly. I am sure yours are accurate and tight against the toilet, or is the toilet removed before you put the tile down? That would give some explanation as to what you're doing with your head over the toilet.

My wife said something about it yesterday. She said the second strain is supposed to be less deadly than the first.

@Eladar

Now that there are 2 different strains could that mean that more are possible?

I guess time will answer that question.

That's true.

The priority now, however, is those people who might not be.

Many with immune system issues, diabetes, etc., etc., the list goes on and on are at a big risk, sure the healthy people will survive, but we are going to lose a lot of people.

It can attack anyone of any age, you just have better chances of survival if you are healthy person to begin with. What about all the baby boobers of which there are many. Baby boomer is a term used to describe a person who was born between 1946 and 1964. The baby boomer generation makes up a substantial portion of the world's population, especially in developed nations. It represents nearly 20% of the American public.

We've already lost a lot of people we will lose some from this site, there is no doubt in my mind about that one!
