This looks smart
SARS CoV-2 coronavirus / Covid-19 (No tin foil hat silliness please)

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss three 1-1 draws.
The first got us knocked out of the FA Cup, the next puts us in a good position in our Round of 16 Europa League game, and the latest was an actual decent performance against Arsenal at Old Trafford.
All hopes for the season now rest on the Europa League - does Amorim have the squad to win it?
Barely anyone wearing a mask either.
Bet any of them who don't get Covid symptoms will use that as "evidence" that the whole thing is some sort of hoax or massive over reaction, rather than pure luck.
They’re partly protesting against wearing masks. The ones wearing masks are the weird ones.
You'd like to think the Darwin Awards would sort these cnuts out, but these twats almost always survive and end up infecting the most vulnerable.
I've seen a few people on fb doubting them having any use.
But surely they remember when they sneezed as a kid they'd use their hands to stop it going all over the place, so a mask serves in a similar barrier method!
I don’t disagree. I wear a mask where required but mask scepticism is one the core tenets of these protestor‘s ideology. The ones wearing masks are odd.
They can only learn the lesson when there's an outbreak among them.
Absolutely. They wanted that rental income.
Obviously, they would all go bankrupt en masses without them.
The sector asked for extra funding back in April to avoid this though and the government told them to get fecked, leaving universities with two really shit options: get students in knowing this would happen or go bust.
Staggering quantities of horseshit in that letter. Ticks all the corona bullshit boxes, apart from 5G. Obviously being a doctor doesn’t protect people from sucking up any old nonsense on Facebook. I would be very surprised if the signatories hold reputable positions at any academic institutions.
Very clever this virus is.
It won't infect people at a wedding... unless there's more than 15 people. But it also won't infect anyone at a funeral, as long as there's no more than 30 people. So not only can the virus count, it can also differentiate between a wedding and a funeral.
It does spread in pubs, but only after 10pm and not before. It also only infects if you're in a group of more than 6... but not at weddings or funerals, obviously. Masks do work, that's why people will be fined for not wearing them... but not in pubs, because as already discovered. The virus doesn't infect pub goers until after 10pm.
Cinemas, gyms, etc are also immune from the virus because the virus can't afford cinema tickets or gym memberships. Schools where kids gather in large groups are also immune as the virus doesn't like learning... but those same large groups of kids can't meet up outside of school because that's when the virus will get them as it waits outside the school gates.
The elderly should be isolated and protected from the virus... unless they're needed to babysit. So grandparents can't see their grandkids socially as it's not safe, but can babysit them because the virus knows the difference between wanting to see grandkids because you love and miss them (which the virus hates) and having to see your grandkids out of obligation (which the viurs is fine with).
The virus will definitely get at you at home too if you meet up with family and friends in a controlled environment, but not in a pub where you can meet up with those same family and friends in an environment you can't control with many other strangers... well at least up to 10pm anyway.
The virus also sticks to specific postcodes, this is why some areas have stricter rules than others. Oh, and grouse hunting is perfectly fine in large groups regardless of any rules. TOTAL MADNESS!!!
I received the above on WhatsApp. Understandable people are confused. However, there needs to be some balance needed for the economic reasons.

Another 6042 cases today and 34 deaths for UK. France 14k new cases.
We've seen protests in Madrid and they may decided to increase the restrictions there so it could get nasty.

Went for a walk today and admittedly I’ve got a shitty old iPhone 6S and use an app which tracks our walks. Starting with a full charge it’s usually on around 50% by the end of the walk. I was about half way through the walk today and noticed my battery was down to ~20%. I had to download the NHS COVID app a couple of days ago and realised that had been absolutely chewing my battery. Deleted the app and made it most of the rest of the walk before it dropped out.
I can’t imagine many people are going to keep it installed when it’s absolutely ripping battery like that. I know my phone is old and shit but thats ridiculous.

If they do they should be sacked.
Love that they used a Bill Gates conspiracy theory video as a reference to show a vaccine will seriously harm 700,000 people.
Same thing happened with the HSE app in Ireland. Thought my phone was on its way out, turned out to be the app overheating my phone.
Good Twitter thread for the tedious false positive bores.
Victoria has withdrawn the curfew from midnight as they have got their 14 day rolling average down to just over 20 a day and declining. NSW had zero new infections today for the first time since early June. Good news but not over by a long shot yet in Victoria.
The Victiria health minister got thrown under the bus yesterday for aklowing the hotel quarantine breechs that set this outbreak in motion. Probanly mainly to save Dan Andrews who is under pressure from the far right and the Mudoch press despite doing a great job IMO.
I think international borders will remain shut well into 2021 though. Possibly until a vaccine is widely distributed.

Good news, hopefully the coming summer will help with keeping it under control. I think you guys have a big enough internal economy to cope with a lack of tourists, it wont be nice for the tourism industry but it wont be armageddon like some think.
We had another cluster appear a week ago with someone coming out of the 14 day isolation and 2 negative tests then showing as infected a week later. The family also spent a week travelling around the North island but reports have said they were really great with using the covid tracking app so the authorities have found it a much easier task to contact trace. So far so good as only immediate family members have caught it. If this works out I would have to say the health dept here deserve a pat on the back for the amount of effort they are putting in with contact tracing etc. We should see Auckland drop down to lowest level 1 by the time the election arrives in a few weeks time.
On a side issue I am over the next two weeks doing the product photography for Linen House Australia because their photographers arent able to open their studio till the 16th October. Im doing all this via LH NZ a sister company. It makes me wonder if many other types of work has been farmed out over the Tasman to NZ as well.
My eldest just had his second covid test (poor bastard!) Very high fever through the night on Friday. Phone GP out of hours service Sat morning. Tested at noon on Saturday (10 minutes from where we live). Result back this evening (negative) Very impressive turnaround. System in Ireland still working very well despite current surge.
Thats really really fast, helps reduce stress levels.
Sure does. Whole family had to self-isolate while the result was pending. So fast turnaround is massive practical benefit too. Now we can send his sister back to school tomorrow.
My nephew the same, tested Friday, result negative this morning. Probably tonsilitis. Hope your lad gets better soon from whatever it really is anyway.
Thanks. He’s grand actually. No fever all day today. Hopefully your nephew shakes off his lurgy soon too.
I'd say Victoria in particular has lost lots of work to other states and NZ.
Interesting article. https://elemental.medium.com/a-supe...teresting-new-theory-has-emerged-31cb8eba9d63
Shock
Classed as a work place canteen 
Something I can see happening is when it gets completely out of hand in the Universities, students are either told it’s entirely remote and they dont have to stay or students deciding that for themselves. You‘ll then have a few hundred thousand people, probably around Christmas time, spreading out around the country again, going back to family homes.
Apparently so yeah, isn't just the 1 though, they have 30 fecking bars in parliament apparently!
I dont get why the UK is getting slammed for it's corona measurements when i look at this map of western europe.
All first year learning at Manchester Met has been moved online for at least two weeks. Though surely that'll be extended.
Irrespective of what may happen nationally, I don't see it being long before Greater Manchester is subject to more restrictions. Same goes for areas with similar numbers.
