I don't think there has yet been a study as to the effect of shit on McDonald's customers' immune systems. Perhaps having their food served in an environment covered in faeces has had a positive effect on their immunity. It would be interesting to see whether customers of a chain with as much shit on the menu as McDonald's have built up a natural protection against diseases borne in the environment in which food is served. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/11/29/mcdonalds-touchscreen-kiosks-in-uk-contain-traces-of-feces.html3

When I think of the word 'restaurant' I don't think of MacDonald's.

So now what are the street cleaners going to pick up all day?5

Wouldn't surprise me if the government asked McD's to close on a seperate day to the other smaller food / drink businesses, so it would get the attention of some of the chavs who are still treating like an inset day and taking the kids to Southend for a jolly

Thanks Chizz. That last point made me think about my dog walk yesterday. We kept ourselves to ourselves but I did take her into a dog enclosure in the park and had to open and shut the metal latch of the gate on the way in and out (just like 100's of other people over the last few days 🤔). I won't be doing that again.Chizz said:

Sounds like fair play to McD's. Also,less McD's may mean less Amazon destroyed...
Does anyone have any information about how long the virus can remain 'live' on packaging. Would plastic/cardboard, storage temperature etc make a lot of difference?
"...detectable in aerosols for up to three hours, up to four hours on copper, up to 24 hours on cardboard and up to two to three days on plastic and stainless steel". That's worth thinking about when you're pressing a plastic straw between your lips, to drink McDonald's milkshake from a plastic-coated paper cup, poured from a stainless steel dispenser.

As I understand it, the virus can remain viable much longer on hard surfaces (e.g. a metal door handle) than on soft surfaces (e.g. a tissue).0 -
Bedsaddick said:My eldest son (17) works part time at Mcdonalds and has just been told he doesn’t have to go to work and he will be paid 80% of his wages despite not going in. I say well done McDonald’s . Sensible decision
Translated that means "The government is paying 80% of your wages and we, the vast multinational chain reporting over $20 billion in annual revenue, will pay you the square root of fuck all".

I think I remember reading it was Subway.0

As this is a Chizz question the answer's likely to be oblique. I'm going with the government (NHS, civil service, army etc)1

Well at least when this is all over the nation - especially the 'yoof' - will be at least a stone lighter!1

Gotta rely on Burger King and KFC following suit before making statements like thataddick19 said:Well at least when this is all over the nation - especially the 'yoof' - will be at least a stone lighter!
Close those three and you stand a better chance of self-lockdown in some of the Medway Towns though3 -

I've seen advice that people should open and close doors and gates (like the one you describe) with their sleeve pulled down over their hands. I think that's terrible advice - it's far easier and quicker to wash your hands than your sleeve.SantaClaus said:

Why not take a plastic or rubber glove on your next walk? You could dispose of it at the end of your walk if it's disposable, or, if it's a rubber glove, wash your hands with the glove on when you get home, then again when you take it off.1 -
Of course it's oblique!SantaClaus said:As this is a Chizz question the answer's likely to be oblique. I'm going with the government (NHS, civil service, army etc)
The question was "controlled" rather than "owned". And the sad answer is that it's the Official Receiver. Simply because so many restaurants go bust.2 -
No impact on me what do ever but im
pleased to hear they are taking care of their staff.I think Chicken Cottage are still operating. Total meltdown for kids should they close. I’m sure their be fighting in the street (breaks into song...Won’t get fooled again ) if they close.0 -
Yeah, I tried one of their Big OR Meals the other day, didn't like the fries.Chizz said:

Tip of the iceberg .. to broaden the discussion .. I can't see the 'high street' ever recovering from the various closures, 'bricks and mortar' retailing was in crisis long before the pandemic arrived.
The big rescue packages for Debenhams, House of Fraser etc. depended on rebranding and restructuring, what is now the point with no customers .. huge brands like McD and Primark are closing indefinitely .. Waterstones, HMV and many other speciality stores/brands must be in danger along with the majority of clothes shops, especially those run by Philip Green
The Govt has virtually renationalised the railways and the airlines will need billions in support to keep going. Inevitably exports other than food will slow down, steel plants and engineering suppliers will close as car manufacturing grinds to a halt meaning that the docks and container ports will lose business.
Hundreds of thousands of workers in a huge variety of trades and industries will be laid off and for how long will the Govt continue to pay their fairly generous income support monies ?
Things will be very different after this pandemic and it seems there is a long way to go until the authorities will give the go ahead for everyone to resume a semblance of normality. But I doubt that 'normality' will ever be quite what we knew before the corona virus intruded into our society.

The 'High Street' will recover, but it won't be the same. There will be a new normal. That might mean fewer chains and more, relevant, local shops. It might mean customers preferring to shop in places where they know the owner and they know the owner looks after their staff. And it might mean that global and national retail chains become fewer and are replaced by businesses that are more-closely aligned to their locale.Lincsaddick said:Tip of the iceberg .. to broaden the discussion ..

Today, for the first time in the many years since I moved to my current house, I walked to the local village and bought some food from the local butcher, instead of driving to the supermarket and choosing from the meat counter. I won't buy meat from the supermarket any more after this.0 -
Government health bod was saying yesterday that cardboard is safe "because it absorbs the virus." Common sense tells you it's all relatively low risk but keep up your cleaning, washing and wiping regime.0
