Exactly, this is the way most people in the real world are living.  I had a game of 5s yesterday and it was brilliant to be out playing football again. 
 

Think some people need to start trying to have a bit of a life again.

 

How great did it feel to kick a ball about again eh? Was genuinely buzzing for hours after it.

This seems to be a similar problem the Scottish Government created with Spain in July. 

Aye and they made themselves look foolish with that fiasco

Greece is still below 20 cases per 100,000 but have been put on the quarantine list because a passenger flew into Glasgow from Zante with covid.

She should really count to 10 and phone Boris, before making these wrong headed decisions.

Scotland's chief medical officer Dr Gregor Smith said: "There is a compelling public health risk around importation of the virus, especially given the number of imported cases linked to the Greek islands.

 

So not just one passenger from Zante... 🤔

Bloke turns up for work with a temperature and you call him "a prick with Covid"?

 

That's a hell of a jump.

I was reporting as it happened. Someone with symptoms going to a building site with between 50 to 100 workers. Aye, I'd say he's a prick. 

At least the temperature test works. You don't need to have covid to be prick.

Mind in Feb/March when you were bragging about what a man you were because you had the flu but went to work on site anyway?

I had the flu, way before corona was here.(Or I'd be patient 1)

Anyway, I work on my own way above everyone else and come to think of, I wore a mask for a laugh and for HSE reasons. 

If i had any symptoms now, I'd stay in the hoose. End of! 

And I can work through any illness, unlike the wimps on here.

Update on the prick situation. It was two pricks. The grun workers hit a cable, and the two sparks who came to repair it should have Been isolating for 2 weeks as their third man had tested positive for Covid19, yet they continued to work and walked on site.

Oddly enough, I'm pro-independence. However, the way NS has acted over the past six months has given me pause for thought. Not that London does it any better - but the way she has manipulated the situation to give herself political advantage is very shady.

 

Without taking this thread too much off track, it always surprises me when people base their opinion on independence on how much they like/dislike the SNP. There would be an extremely healthy political landscape post-independence IMO. Scottish Labour would thrive, and perhaps the Scottish Tories too. Voting independence doesn't mean you're stuck with the SNP forever.

You'd like to think so but I doubt it very much, especially in the short to medium term.

 

The SNP would carry a lot of undeserved milage as the party who rent asunder the shackles of union and delivered us unto utopia.

 

We'll soon see.

I think they'd get one term and the knives would be out. Scottish Labour would become progressive without the shackles of Westminster IMO. But who knows really.

Asda at Newhaven getting a bit of stick ATM.

 

Boy that works on the Deli counter went on holiday with mates, they all came back with symptoms. The boy got a test done but continued to work on the Thursday and Friday, before then receiving his positive result on the Saturday.

 

Apparently ASDA did a deep clean of the Deli counter after finding out the positive result but not the rest of the store.

It's a very short sighted way to look at it. Same with the folk that voted last time on the basis of how they felt about Eck.

They will just be following orders from much higher up. As usual with these things, the real problem is right at the top. Penny might have dropped about half way through that article though

I suspect any Scottish party in power post independence will toil given the economic situation that independence would likely bring.

If independence was successful I would hope the SNP would remain to take responsibility of the  situation they have engineered.

 

I said suspect and likely as no one really knows. But they should take full responsibility/credit for the good or bad that transpires.

This is probably true. As long as the Manager has followed whatever process/guidance is in place at ASDA then cannot really blame him. 

 

Does the Govt have specific advice for supermarkets if staff member tests positive? Surely this is not the first supermarket worker who has tested positive for CV, but then I do not think I have heard of any supermarkets shutting for a day or two to do cleaning.

I mean yeah, there will be an election so whoever is voted in will be there to assume responsibility. 

 

And do you know how many countries don't have a huge deficit? A handful.
