Is the SNP responsible for South of the border as well. 

Is this pandemic not being treated as a war by the government's.? 

If so war rules and conditions apply. 

Man up and stop whinging if you are a doctor you have a comfortable living by most standards.

Presenting most risk? Provide your evidence please. 5% of cases coming from those who have visited hospitality.

Most people who have tested positive have stated they have been at pubs. 
 

indoor socialising is the number one cause of infection. People can spin the numbers all they like but the facts are indoor mixing causes more transmission. Where do folk mix most and lose inhibitions?

Well, obviously I have something. Covid or not. Felt pretty shit last week but didn’t have a cough so didn’t consider Covid. Thought it was a bad cold. Woke up during the night with a horrific cough and it has been flaring up

all morning. Self isolating now and will only go out if i test negative. Probably just a chest infection on the back of the cold messing with my immune system last week. 

 

Get well soon man. I had it in April, was floored for a week then better. Lost all smell and taste for 3-4 weeks though, was very strange.

Ye can all feck off. There's enough penis pilots masquerading on building sites without lazy office workers and offshore reprobates making the place look untidy as Feck.

That’s the trouble with folk during the pandemic they don’t like the hard choices and hearing the truth. The population has really been shown to be selfish self indulgent twats.

Easy to say it’s shite not so easy to tell me how it’s shite! There are jobs folk just don’t want to do these jobs as they think the world owes them better. 

It was your statement to prove and not mine. You backed yourself up by using some vague stereotype, based on personal experience at best. Read a newspaper, you’ll see that companies are shedding employees by the thousands. Why, in such a time of uncertainty, would you really believe there’s just an equal amount of jobs waiting for those made redundant? You can’t possibly back your statement up with any solid reasoning or facts because it’s complete rubbish.

Are we really blaming people for being unemployed after the government destroyed their businesses?

I mean, I’m right wing, but these SNP feckers are a whole different league

You can't just lift and shift people from sometimes highly skilled office jobs to  something like physical work on building sites.

The government chose to shut the country down to combat Covid 19, businesses closed because the government chose this course of action. I’m not saying the government were wrong in their actions but it’s those actions, that have forced companies to fold.

Just being real that’s all. I am sick of the pandemic, sick of folk breaching the rules, greetin about going on holidays or to the pub. 
 

The reality is if we all played the game for a few weeks we could all eradicate COID drive it’s levels down get back to the football and the pub. However folk who refuse to wear masks, go to pubs in more than two households, go abroad fir that needed holiday that they deserve etc have ruined it for me and now am having to listen to their wee years when the government have to act to slow the spread. 
 

I honestly can’t believe the absolute ignorance of some!

Exactly. Exempting the government(s) from any blame because there is a pandemic is a dangerous precedent. They need held accountable now more than ever.

Which is why the 'government by decree' process which has been going on in relation to Covid since March was the worst possible route. Scrutiny and compromise should have been the order of the day. The opposition parties have been extraordinarily supportive, and if this is a war-footing, and we are 'battling' a deadly disease, then a GoNU should really have been instigated. It couldn't be that BoJo and the FF didn't fancy their decisions being properly discussed, could it?

Agree. It’s a farce now tbh.

Why would anyone with half a brain go against government advice?

 

 

Dictionary definition of advice = an opinion that someone offers you about what you should do or how you should act in a particular situation

 

Therefore anyone with 1/2 a brain, as you so eloquently put it, uses their own free will and decision making process to decide if they wish to follow it.

In this case the advice has come from the same mouth that thought sending the elderly out of hospital into care homes and allowing students to return to halls was a good idea. I therefore reserve the right to take anything they advise me, with an enormous pinch of salt.

 

 

[doctor jambo]

80% of people who caught Covid have not been in a pub or restaurant recently .

You would, if the swabs were testing for traces of the drug in your mouth,

they don’t 

they test your saliva 

listerine does not remove drugs from your system

you can still rest +ve days after a joint regardless of dental hygiene

 

THC metabolites of the sort that would be in saliva aren't detectable by swab tests. They're only designed to detect THC, not THCA the unsmoked precursor, and not any of it's metabolites. The swab tests used in business and law enforcement are testing for THC, which can be cleansed from the surface of your mouth.

You can open your window slightly, but watch out for any Covid waves coming in, 1st, 2nd or 3rd, and shut it immediately, remembering to seal the surrounds with masking tape.
