jack D and coke Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 14 minutes ago, Governor Tarkin said: Folk are feart of the day they've never seen. I think about covid twice a day. Once when I nip out to the shops and clock everyone cutting about in masks like a scene from some dystopian nightmare, and second when I log on here for a scan at the to-and-fro between the panic merchants and the wind up merchants. Doesn't even cross my mind in the boozer or the restaurant as the extra space is actually quite pleasant. I'd assume plenty of folk are the same. I was cracking up months ago and basically broke the lockdown weeks before we were told to. I just couldn’t live that way I hadn’t seen barely a soul for two months. Add the booze and whatnot into the mix and I was gonna end up not well mentally. Im not stupid about it I wear a mask when I have to etc and I wash my hands regular (I always did tbf) but I’m in the boozer first chance I get and have eaten out etc. I’m not saying I want to catch it or anything like that but everything they open up I’ll be there if it’s up my street. I’d have been out to my place in Spain if they hadn’t enforced this quarantine thing too. Hopefully in a month or two I’ll get out there as well.

Victorian Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I thought I had a good appreciation of the depths of stupidity existing in some people... and then along comes Walter Bishop. More generally, it's difficult to see where this is going next. We have very low numbers in Scotland and other things are positive. Schools are going back and other measures continue to be rolled back per the route map. But at the same time we see these localised problems in England and rising incidence throughout Europe. The overall vista is a bit muddled right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the benefit of hindsight, that's easy for you to say now. Back in February/March the NHS had no real idea how things were going to pan out, how on earth can you plan fully for something which you have no real idea how bad it's going to get.

Easy, because it's what virus' within the Coronavirus family tend to do, they come in waves. And as you know Influenza & Coronavirus' belong to two completely different virus family's, but do share certain similar characteristics, such as being respiratory and coming in waves, often seasonal.

NANOJAMBO Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Anyone see C4 news tonight ? Krishnan G-M was interviewing an epidemiologist who took great exception to a line of questioning on his alleged hypocrisy ending with "C4 news is welcome to join the legal action *" and then "this interview is over". Anyone know what this is about - I don't know the name of the interviewee but he's supposedly based in Edinburgh ? * I think he was threatening libel proceedings on C4.
