Thanks!
SARS CoV-2 coronavirus / Covid-19 (No tin foil hat silliness please)
- Thread starter Don't Kill Bill

Makes perfect sense. In fact, when I shop I also place my shopping bag flat on the ground and lay the items I've bought on top of it. When I lift the bag everything falls off, which makes no sense because my stuff was "on" the bag. I then get "in" my car - the boot, specifically - so I can drive home. For some reason I'm unable to reach the steering wheel or pedals.
On an unrelated note I don't know how I've got four kids when I always wear a condom. I only tie it around my balls but it's technically "on".
Same here. You just don't see anyone without a mask in public. There are big fines on it, and there is no warning system, you pay up immediately. Even at work, to get a coffee, you put on your mask (for the few people that are present...)
This government is a joke FFS.
Look at this thread.

I do wonder if these people realise they are marking themselves for life. Some day soon the pandemic will be over, but the reputation some people are gathering as lunatic anti-vaccine/hoaxers will stick with them forever. I know a few people in their 20s and 30s who are being slowly ostracised from society because of their beliefs.
Partly it's because it's enforced. You will be stopped, fined and ultimately arrested if you refuse to don one. There are twice as many police here as in the UK though, more now the Army are involved.
Unless of course someone sneezes or coughs near your hands or on a surface you just touched and then bite your fingernails or something. Better safe than sorry I’d say. Wash wash wash your hands
I still wipe down everything I buy. It's tedious but I've not caught it yet so why stop? It'd be like removing flood barriers because you haven't had a flood.
Feels like it would be an easy win to vaccinate on arrival and departure of quarantine hotels. Charge of course.
You are right not many people who get it die (percentage wise) but it's not about the death rate. If we were only getting 1,000 cases and 50 deaths a day from this virus it would be long off mainstream news and we'd all still be living like it never came let alone was still around.
It's about the spread and that we can't have too many people hospitalised at one go. As awful as it would have been for the people of Wuhan it would have actually been better for the world if this virus was much more deadly as it would have killed it hosts before it could cause any havoc spreading. That's why people even who aren't that high risk should get the vaccine.
I do think we have gone well too far with some restrictions but others were most certainly needed.
Really? :O
Not to mention the people who jizz and piss over your order
Yes - washing your hands is just a good idea anyway - our hands are pretty disgusting at times.
I'd say the importance of realising that inhalation is generally a bigger issue is with places that claim to be "covid-secure" because they have hand sanitiser every 5 feet, but closed all the windows and shut off the ventilation some time in November because it was a bit cold.
Yeah but that middle aisle at Aldi is brilliant.
With all the knowledge, treatments, experience from the first wave and alleged compliance, awareness, protocols for elderly and mask wearing, Italy being first hit got given a pass from the first wave but they have now had thousands more deaths officially in this second wave and it's still counting with over 600 deaths announced today, same goes for many countries that followed Italy. I don't think Western nations are ready yet to live with this like East Asians nations seem to and probably never will. Japan is perhaps the most puzzling for some with the highest older population and the total of 120 million on a very small piece of land with very low amounts of testing,
The No.1 cnut in the Government, Priti Patel, on at 5pm
Personally I use my own because A: Its better than the watered down shit my local shops have, and B: I dont want to stand next to a bunch of people queuing
I love it
1243 deaths announced
45k cases

No need to apologise mate. Didn't sound like gloating at all. Your country has handled the pandemic extremely well. That is something that gives me hope, that the rest of the World can learn from!
I'm just saying you have plenty to be positive about, in context.
Expected deaths but cases at 45k still is perhaps a sign it may have peaked at 68k hopefully.
4200 hospital admissions again is not good at all and will take a long time to come down.

She was maybe just referring to members of parliament.
Remember. None of what politicians say is meant to mean anything. It is just empty words they spout to try and make themselves appear 'clever' to their followers.
As soon as you try to discect it, you realise it is 100% bullshit.
Nothing more and nothing less.
I’m far from a Tory fan but couldn’t this be all 3?

This shit infuriates me. How many people are walking around your local UK supermarket smoking? They can and do stop it.

In reality, they're working with the guidance. If that has grey areas, then it makes the job of enforcing anything more difficult (the police are saying exactly the same on their current parameters). If the government want this enforced, then it's quite simple for them to put it exemption element into law, like they've done with the face coverings. Again a wider question is whether this should this be a retailer or police matter to enforce the law? Especially when the latter has the power to act.
It's a bit embarrassing for the government that supermarkets are having to lead the line on this. Patel's comments at the press conference were teflon shoulder-esque, insinuating that it's society's responsibility to enforce.
Still quite creepy going back to page one of this thread. We had no idea what we were heading towards.

A good link for anyone who claims this virus isn't deadly or we don't need to worry about it.
A really good article which gives balanced and reasonable facts and figures explaining the mortality rate from last year in comparison to previous years.
Anyone suggesting it's a 99% survival rate would do well to also look at the hospitalisation figures. That's where the bigger issue lies.

He's still there, I think.
Certainly one of the most memorable things on my short time on this forum
Shame he didn’t stick around to see how legendary that post became.
Another new potential treatment going into larger trials. Promising though

I genuinely hate Hancock.
That little fecking smirk really make me angry.
I have a test booked in tonight because I've got a few symptoms (cough, taste).
Kinda feels just like a cold really but I made the mistake of telling my mum on the phone and she's forced me to get tested.
I was surprised how easy it was to book a test and also how many open slots there were. I could literally have picked any time between now and 7pm.
If I do have it, its from Tesco at the weekend as I've not left the flat other than a daily walk outside (on my own).

Think it’s easy to forget the mental trauma thousands of NHS staff are going through.
Was it @starkie1?
Staggering. It’s unfair. They are all heroes, every single one of them.
