It really annoys me that so many morons are simply using remote places as a chance of a booze up without the risk of the law turning up and spoiling the fun. I bet they don't even notice the scenery around them. Well done for doing something so positive yourself.

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I think with the shocking figures coming from the USA it is time to ban all flights from there until the idiot in charge over there gets a grip of it. I really feel for the people over there right now but Trump trying to sweep it under the carpet from the start has ended in this disaster for the USA.

Interesting to see how many older folks are in that photo, if anyone should fear the virus it is that demographic. Many may be shop owners with concerns but they are being hoodwinked into not taking the severity of the pandemic seriously and its threat to prosperity of businesses in the years to come. I was joking I wouldn't wish the virus on anybody but that younger guy with the slogan really needs to take a long hard think. Maybe he has changed his views with the latest figures but I suspect his brain cells are not up to that level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Dan Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I'm delighted with todays figures but obviously mindful this is the weekend. Zero here👍 "Another 21 people have died of coronavirus in hospitals in England and in Wales and Northern Ireland, taking the total death toll to 43,535. NHS England today confirmed another 18 fatalities in its hospitals, while two more people have died in Wales and one in Northern Ireland." Worryingly for England though is the spike in Leicester. "The Department of Health said it has sent extra testing units to Leicester to try and get on top of the virus and urged residents there to be strict about social distancing and washing their hands. Home Secretary Priti Patel said on the BBC's Andrew Marr Show this morning it was 'correct' that a local lockdown was on the cards, adding: 'With local flare-ups it is right we have a localised solution'. She added: 'We have seen flare-ups across the country in recent weeks, in just the last three or four weeks in particular.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I'd heard that the Spanish had detected it in the sewars, but not as far back as March 2019 that's new, last I knew it was December 2019 they had traced it back to. That is a very worrying development if it's been around for so long and may potentially have muted into a more deadly form, if it's done it once I can do it again, that has to be the fear.

At really quiet times and a distance away from the checkouts I have taken it off but always carry one with me as I think everyone should for a period yet. We are beating this and I think masks are making a difference, should have been the advice from the start though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
