Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

He didn`t say which Christmas though lol

It's too late now whatever Christmas. The rate of infection is out of control. Hospital Covid-19 wards and intensive care units are being stretched to capacity. Most likely end up in a full lock-down, whether by direct action or stealth, which will last for longer and probably cause more economic harm than if we'd taken steps sooner. Once again the Tory government has failed through indifference and languor to put the health of the nation first.

Schools and colleges should be shut. And so should anything else transmitting this. May as well open the ale houses if they leave restaurants open though.

Stable door with that one

Its safe indoors innit...

An analysis of three Covid-19 outbreaks: how they happened and how they can be avoided

A room, a bar and a classroom: how the coronavirus is spread through the air

The risk of contagion is highest in indoor spaces but can be reduced by applying all available measures to combat infection via aerosols. Here is an overview of the likelihood of infection in three everyday scenarios, based on the safety measures used and the length of exposure

It's probably better to drink in a responsibly run bar rather than loading up at Tesco and having mates round to your house. That's what's happening in Scotland - thousands of parties and police running around breaking them up.

All the responsible Pubs are shut currently.

Sadly if there is more damage to the country by a forced lockdown now , the only story to be told will be the government ignoring the advice to do it a lot sooner.

That has to be a death knell to the Tories , the time when they ignored scientific advice in a pandemic

Some of you actually thought we'd be out of all this pandemic by Christmas anyway? lol

If I go to France but do not get out of the vehicle and come straight back, do I need to self isolate? What about the ferry?

GOV website is confusing.

If you're driving over, don't leave the car, don't roll down windows to interact with people, don't get passengers/cargo etc. then no.

But then again, who would do that.

Me. It is a drop off (not dodgy) and they say we can stay in the van and they will unload.Is the ferry OK though? In French waters at the bar am I not in France?

I got ridiculed on here by certain people for stating that restaurant owners were making a good profit out of the pandemic. They are absolutely coining it in. The funds theylve had thrown at them have been massive and they've beed subsudised by the state more than any sector. Even closing the pubs and leaving them open was no doubt part designed to channel custom their way.

And in the context of school free meals being denied it's obscene.

I detest that restaurant sector - covid19 rat industry and one that undermines public health by providing a dangerous environment for the virus infection.

And some of us thought you were sound. Yet it turns out your just a spineless little Bellend.

And Tories have been gloating how successful Rishi has been the natural successor, Johnson the foolish clown to Rishi the dangerous clown, who made his name and fortune in the 2008 financial crash...

Indeed...and yet the total focus of the media now is on the labour party shenanegins.
The former have been complicit in failing to hold this corrupt and sleazy government to account.
Bozo and cummings must be laughing their heads off.
A lot of folk just read the headlines on the front page and believe they are being told the truth.
Meanwhile in the real world deaths and hospital admissions are steadily rising...are the media bored with Covid?
Appalling state of affairs
