A large portion of ginger women are fakes....or were before the lock down (ha swung this back around to be on topic) There has to have been at least a 1% reduction world wide in "gingers" thanks to COVID.




Oh...and behalf of my ginger male cousin and the ginger male GOTers

KOFF.

Are you saying being ginger increases your chances of catching the virus lol

My old apprentice now manager of a big Garden centre in Cheshire - reckons bedding plants will be at a premium this year as the growers have had to destroy the plug plants grown in early spring he buys in ready made plants to sell on - as we don't produce much anymore - just certain outlets in the UK plus Holland- there will be some , but like everything with this virus production has been affected in a big way - He is just keeping his shrub, and tree stock alive they threw our a large batch of boxed bought in spring bedding - pansies, violas, primulas etc 6 weeks ago when they closed down..... why garden centres are shut and B&Q are open is a mystery to me?

My step dad had flu symptoms and diareah he phoned 111 and they said that's not a symptom of Covid phone your GP, the GP receptionist said phone 111 by the end of the week he was breathless, 111 said phone your GP so I took him to Aintree hospital as an ambulance was over 1 hour wait, he had pneumonia and tested positive for Covid

So more than likely you probably had it but luckily got over it before it developed to pneumonia, my step dad is OK now

Heard a few similar stories like this and seen a few YouTube videos where people have had symptoms for weeks, and been really poorly too, and I'm thinking why haven't they gone to hospital.

Their stock in trade is trying to manage a message, not a virus.

I fully expect some lifting of restrictions, and they know that it'll be a dog whistle to everyone that it's "ok" to do more outside.

The name of the game here is to get from under the weight of the furlough payments. They need to undermine first the 'stay at home' message and surreptitiously plant the seed that it's ok to get out and circulate. It's a softening up process.

We should never be anywhere near any end to the lockdown because the lockdown has not provided enough dividends. In fact, we need to see a proper lockdown first to get to a position where the economy can be thought important again. That's not the message of the Tory think tanks and corporate donors though.

As forecast.

Boris Johnson set to scrap 'stay home' advice and ‘ease lockdown limits on work, parks and exercise’

Some restrictions to be relaxed from Monday but social distancing to remain

Evening Carlos, I’m sound mate, just looking forward to my tea because the missus has baked a meat pie, so having that with chips done like they should be, in a chip pan with fat.

How you doing mate?

Christ I miss good old spuds cut up and fried on the gas ring in a dangerous chip pan
Beats them oven chips hand down

A second more deadly wave after a mutation? I've got no science to back that up by the way, rather pure conjecture.

There's a job waiting for you in the UK media mate. Always looking for people who don't let science get in the way of a good story
