Sky are saying they are wrong...Premier League is still on
SARS CoV-2 coronavirus / Covid-19 (No tin foil hat silliness please)
- Thread starter Don't Kill Bill
- Start date
That is just insane.
My family who live in the urban areas of NC have been pretty happy with Cooper, but the rural areas are another matter. My cousin is a PA in a rural hospital in NC and they have a tent city in their parking lot. He has had number of patients who got angry at him because they are in the COVID area and "COIVD doesn't exist". How is your state government handling this (outside your idiot superintendent)?
Dermot Murnaghan has just confirmed it was a misunderstanding and elite sports will continue.
Think it says outdoor sports and everybody jumped the gun, not elite sports. Golf courses are to close.
I think they need to look at the list of what are essential shops. I'm always seeing sizable queues outside Costa. An overpriced cup of coffee is not an essential.
I feel for them as well. It's a hard enough job as it is without all this uncertainty.
I was being sarcastic about his comment that schools are safe, that it is people mingling that is unsafe. As if you can have a school without people mingling.
That's strange I could have sworn the dude on Sky News said all outdoor sports including elite namely premier league.
Not that i'm complaining!

Until people start holding him to account, we will continue with total nonsensical decision making. People like @Volumiza (sorry to call you out but I’ve seen you a number of times making the case for Bojo!) who focus on mistakes people make, yet can somehow overlook how catastrophically bad this has been handled. This latest lockdown, the timing of it, sheds clear light on the incompetence of this government.
IMO, that was Boris' best delivery of a lockdown announcement so far....but it was his third try
No one knows what’s going on. Not least the government!
Third time lucky, pity no one can take him seriously after his constantly bumbling and only caring about little England.
He had no explanation of why schools closed today, one day after they opened. Opened by saying everything they’d done would have worked without the new strain, making it political. Compared vaccine roll out to the EU, also political. I assume your focus is on how he delivered not what he delivered, to which I’d probably agree - but he still had that smirk. That cowardly aura. I can’t find myself to say anything positive about him.
Mine was meant to say working their arses off!
Hope they absolutely whack up the fines and consequences for rule breakers this time
He will get held to account at some point come the next election but just because I hold people to blame doesn’t mean I’m approving of the government’s actions so take your apology and shove it where the sun don’t shine son.
This is in effect from Wednesday right?
Reasonable excuse list on - https://assets.publishing.service.g...data/file/949536/NationalLockdownGuidance.pdf
2021 is going to be no different to 2020
We're no longer in the EU.
Just made me laugh how Bojo was like ‘just to clarify, we didn’t shut schools because children/youth are not affected.’ Yet then went on to say ‘just to be clear we are shutting schools because they are high in transmission’
Also that line of ‘we would have been fine doing what we were doing if it wasn’t for this new variant’. Cmon...

Midnight tonight I believe.
Just when this thread couldn't have more hysteria this evening...
No doubt my work will still be making us come in to the office
The government have been silent on the role irresponsible employers/retail may have contributed to spreading the virus.
There are dim idiots in this country who fall for this fool and believe he turns shit into wine.
Midnight tonight.
Correct, Midnight tonight. Discussion in parliament on Wednesday.
Is testing your eyesight or using common sense as a parent on it?
With immediate effect was how I understood it.
The whole message lacked any detail and was full of stupid excuses including the one for not shutting schools earlier, it was pathetic but hey some of the public will fall for it.
But it's not actually law until Wednesday, presumably?
Yeah it's ridiculous. My boss was working from home from the beginning of December because his wifes parents were up and they're considered at risk yet still expects the rest of to be working from the office as normal..
Blue passports and varieties of fish
Sadly so. Ultimately we have got exactly what we deserve with this government and those too dumb to realise it just keep doubling down.
I mean we've gone from "kids must go to school" to "probably won't be able to have exams this summer" in less than 24 hours. That's pretty feckin special right.
Even the dumbest of the the dumb must surely wonder what new information has come to light in that time.
No it's in law from this evening.
Wonder if Captain Sir Tom Moore has got another 100 laps in him?
The dim idiots are the majority. I heard a lady on the BBC this morning complaining that her beloved Boris should have been knighted in the NY honours because everything he has done has been absolutely right...
Takes all kinds.
Says who?
Are you arguing?
