I'm going to eat 3 days a week in my local cafe to offset my savings against my increased tax. Seriously though the hospitality industry is on its knees and needs a shot in the arm.

It needs every bit of help the government can throw at it. Yes there’s going to be tax rises but imo it’s a much smaller price to pay for putting an arm around the people and their businesses if it protects them, gives people some breathing space and relives the pressure of finding money to pay bills. Mass unemployment will bring much more pain. Every single thing the chancellor gives atm should be applauded imo but still see people trying to score political goals, on all sides and it’s cretinous behaviour.

There's a lot of folk with serious mental health issues and learning difficulties that will make mask wearing hugely traumatic and most likely induce a violent episode. I'm assuming you've never had much experience of people with those issues as you wouldn't have came out with such an idiotic statement. Twit.

I'd add that life would be a lot grimmer if most restaurants, cafes, pubs, coffee shops etc ceased to exist. Which on the evidence of a couple of visits to near empty pubs this week (no more than a dozen customers at peak lunch hour) is likely without support. Half the pubs are still closed. Little point in having lower taxes and nothing to spend money on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo-Jimbo Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Just a few observations that I've made over the last week or so. Seen people wearing face masks, which cover their mouth only and leave their nose exposed, or are so loose you can see their face from side on, one whose mask was so loose that when she moved her head the mask followed about a second later or the old guy who pulled his mask down everytime he spoke to his wife, little point wearing a mask if it's pulled down every few seconds when you speak. But by far the worst was the guy who pulled his mask down, put his hands up to his face and sneezed into his hands, looked at his hands and proceded to wipe them on his jeans and then pulled his mask back up over his face, minging barsteward, I just hope he wasn't away to Asda/Tesco and handiling tins and packets of food with those same minging hands.

Each to their own. 1 minute ago, JamesM48 said: Straight people also died of AIDS And just like healthy people with no underlying illnesses have died from Covid, then so have straight people have died from aids, of course they have. However if you were gay, had multiple sexual partners with no protection and injected drugs, then you stand a higher chance of catching aids than someone who does/did none of those things. Exactly the same as if you are old with multiple comorbidities then you are at greater risk of dying from covid than if you are young with no underlying illnesses, but the young still die. That's the point I'm trying to make, nothing about lifestyle choices or anything like that, but risk factors, that's what I'm on about.
