Boss is going to Ireland via ferry to see family. Says he can go to NI no probs but can't go to RIa has to isolate for 14 days upon entry.

He is supposed to self isolate for 14 days
In practice most do not

So my wife's coworker's son who lives in his house tested positive. Tested Monday. The absolute [Poor language removed] asshole decided to come in to work every day since then and had interactions with everyone in the office, ate in the same break room, used the same unisex toilets etc as the lot of them instead of isolating himself. [Poor language removed] awesome. My father was literally on the way down to visit as we had been really religious with not going to places that would be a potential issue for the last 3 weeks and he had to turn around. Haven't seen him since very early September but THATS OK because you absolute pieces of crap decide looking out for your fellow man isn't in your job description.

I swear to JEBUS I will absolutely eviscerate these assholes if they decide to do some Christmas thing.

You have my blessing.

He is supposed to self isolate to stop him bringing it into the country ,not to stop him getting it once he is here

HM Government now trying to massage down the number of people they've murdered, clinging onto a non-peer reviewed paper claiming an overcount of Covid19 deaths by PHE.

I have just been reading in guardian on line, an article concerning ultra right wing American views on "freedom, liberty against fear".
I then had a look at Heil on line to see what they were scaring the UK population with today.
An article telling me that Johnson is going to make return to work in offices compulsory, to save the coffee and sandwich shops in town.
A glance at the comments horrified me. So much American right wing ideas in there.
There is a big swell in antimask anti lock down ideology.
With these views widespread how on earth is UK going to get this disease under control.

Boris is not forcing people to go back to the office. This is still the company decision.

What's this? Exactly what I said 3 months ago about the death toll of covid-19

The number isn't the real number, everyone who tested positive at any point whether or not that actually was a cause of death. The number is probably lower and more in line with everywhere else in Europe.

For example the Eddie large conundrum.

I got attacked for suggesting that this country would do such a thing...... Yet scientists are saying the exact same.

Like I've said all along, just because the news reports something , doesn't make it true.

Not sure if its full crowds,or a certain % at the start

“It seems that PHE regularly looks for people on the NHS database who have ever tested positive, and simply checks to see if they are still alive or not.

'PHE does not appear to consider how long ago the Covid test result was, nor whether the person has been successfully treated in hospital and discharged to the community.

'Anyone who has tested Covid positive but subsequently died at a later date of any cause will be included on the PHE Covid death figures... even if they had a heart attack or were run over by a bus three months later.”


PHE are a shambles, the U.K. has had over 290k people who have had it, therefore whenever they die, of whatever cause, they will be put on the Covid death number...shambles.....

Is that the grasping at straws thing based on exaggerating claims made in a paper that hasn't yet been peer reviewed?

Think it`s a certain %.

I`d imagine a lot will depend on where we are with the virus.

I did think it would be a certain amount at 1st then go up every few weeks/ 1st few month,but with the way it was said,didt know if it meant a full crowd or not
