Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

This is by no means statistically significant but I’m currently sat on a tube in a carriage of around 15 people.

The six people not wearing masks are all middle aged or older. Every young person (my guess) is wearing their mask.

Got my hair booked in for tomorrow morning, thank god, was starting to look like the 5th Beatle

I have just past the barber's by ours and there are fellas queuing right down the road , I wouldn't mind he is such a crap barber he use to wear a mask before we had even heard of the virus.

The people taking pictures and putting them on the internet are worse than the people in the pubs.

Not that there’s anything wrong with people going the pub today.

why? so long as they're not there directly in amongst the crowd taking the photo? That photo shows nobody complying with social distancing, they're breaking the law, and the person taking the photo is rightfully shaming them. This virus is never going to go away if people are just going to disregard every rule. The government are relaxing laws, but they're also asking people to comply with social distancing and not be stupid. Queuing up 5cms apart at 6am is not exactly going to see the virus go away is it? Before we know it, stuff like this will cause a second wave which will mean stricter laws and regulations again and then the pubs will have to close again.

There's nothing wrong with going to the pub, but everyone cramming in like sardines is wrong.

Safe to say if you’re lining up for the pub at 6 in the morning you’ve got issues

They're the working class. Your people

Johnson's people.

Same. None opened till lunchtime.

That pub is famous in Newcastle. I imagine @Chewbacca knows of it also. Dirt cheap and closes at 9 to ensure that the punters go home to piss themselves instead of doing so in the bar. Has absolutely insane karaoke nights also. Average age will be 60 odd.
I was sent this pic from 8am lol

Or just finished a night shift and fancy a beer.

Johnson's people.

It was said somewhat tongue in cheek, but it does seem that we're going down the same road as America at the moment, whereby the left are increasingly urban, university educated people, and the right are working class town dwellers. Maybe that's a picture Labour are happy with, but it seems likely that the people of Wigan know full well that Dave and his kind at Momentum look at them as 'serfs' and gave up a lifetime of backing the party as a result.

I'm no fan of chavvy types queuing to get into a pub at an ungodly hour either, but such an attitude would traditionally have had me viewed as a snooty Tory looking down on the working class, and yet now it seems commonplace among Labour supporters.
