Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

I'm supposed to be staying in Wales for 4 nights starting tomorrow (A little break I booked 7 months ago)

How are they going to enforce any sort of travel restriction with me being away when the restrictions start?

FFS mate im surprised any of this government know how to wipe their own arse, they've got no chance of solving that.
Will you be breaking the rules? Either way i would make your own judgment call on it.

It was only a few weeks ago we were told to expect 50k cases by middle of this month, i.e. this week.

I get it's very very difficult to accurately predict these things going forward, and it's a near impossible job. But some of the projections have been so far off that people are just switching off now. They don't take the advice seriously. I have to say I am a growing sceptic too.

My mate went to get tested but there was a big queue so he had to leave to pick his kids up from school. Next day he gets a text from the NHS, you have tested positive !! He didn't have a test! Heard the same from a few other people since. Scandalous

Me and the missus are driving our own car to a cottage we've booked and not leaving for 3 days - We've both been working the whole time and were hoping for a little bit of respite from the misery

Just don't want to get in hot water about it

As I said, their advice is losing its credibility.

I'm glad they are extremely wrong though. It's good news.

No it's Mid Wales - Powys

I wouldn't worry about it.

You would have an exception to return to your home address.

No it's Mid Wales - Powys

Was in Gwynedd 2 weekends ago clearing a deceased family members stuff away , so had roof racks for extra space, one of group had the car written all over, about not being in the area because of Pandemic, go home etc.. As always nationalistic minds will always use these scenarios for their mantra... So be mindful tensions are high in some areas...

Just to note, I live in Montgomeryshire (Powys), would be very surprised if that happened here...

So you don't think they'd demand we return home at the earliest opportunity?

Yes if only the masses woke up - you're seeing the Western free society pushed towards an Eastern system of work, education and little free time / social interaction.

As soon as I heard they were only planning on vaccinating the most vulnerable I knew what was on the cards - hospitals wont suddenly stop being overwhelmed with sick Covid patients requiring oxygen just because those most likely to die are vaccinated. This will be going on for many many years imo.

People will say conspiracy....



There’s something going on and people need to realise it. Jobs are now only measured by what they bring to society, not what they bring to your individual life.

That graph absolutely reeks of the Daily Mail.

Professor Gloom and Dr Doom? They write like they're talking to four year olds.

So somebody my mate (who works in a gym) works with has just tested positive over the weekend.

My friend has only just been told because he went into work and asked where this person was/why she wasn't in.

He sits on the same table etc as her and has done the same shifts for the past few weeks, so they've been in contact.

According to NHS Track and Trace, he doesn't have to self-isolate unless he gets symptoms. He also can't get a test, and has been told he has to carry on coming into work unless he's contacted by the app/text.

Absolutely ludicrous system.

Herd immunity is definitely needed to an extent, but if they're serious about slowing this down then he should be told to isolate/or able to get a test (the latter, really).

As it is he can't do either and can't not work.

My sister is classroom assistant that takes care of special needs children. Her youngest daughter is at a childminders and her other 2 daughters are at school. She got a phone call from the child minders to say 1 of the other children had tested positive. She had to leave her work as the child had to quarantine for 2 weeks but the other two children were fine to stay at school. Today was her 1st day back and she has been asked to leave school again as a child who sits beside her other daughter has tested positive. Her husband and the other 2 children have been told to keep going to school and work. This makes absolutely no sense to me at all as they all live in the 1 house.
