Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

[toffee82]

Anyone else think that the mass testing sites have the potential to turn into super spreader locations around Christmas?
I can see hoardes of people queuing to get a test to justify a Christmas get together.

I personally feel that if we are that close to getting a vaccine out (two months to those at high risk and four months to everyone else) then why risk it.

I also work in a high school and know that there is no way I am in a covid safe environment. It would be impossible as we can't suddenly make rooms bigger, pupil groups smaller or double the number of available staff. As a result I pretty much go to work, home and buy food and will carry on like this even if we open up a bit. I feel like I am low risk to covid but I don't want to chance passing it on.

Match about to start. COYB

Hard to feel sympathy for anyone when they shouldn't have been there in the first place for a specific public health reason. Unlike the illegal raves of 90s where you can understand they were kids being kids.

From the Independent:

“I saw that the police were about to shut the party down and I just wanted to have one last dance before it ended,” she said.

I must admit, when I read that it did make me laugh.

She`s at a completely illegal and potentially life threatening gathering of people, during a global pandemic, she saw the police arrive mob handed, in riot gear and with dogs and she thought, " I`ll just have one last dance "

I`m sure that will end up as a stated case in the future - R.v. Numbnuts 2020 lol

"Life changing injuries" though...the ambulance chaser who represents her said so.

China are a disgrace wouldn't surprise me if they're one of them, hope everyone puts sanctions on that lot when this pandemic is under control
