Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

[roydo]

All good RayRay. The wife has had about 6 tests the last 2 weeks or so, they had to shut down last week cos over half the workforce tested positive, was also a few cases in my daughters place, but thankfully staff only and due to testing was kept a lid on.

Just counting down the weeks till April and a degree of sanity I hope.

"Good" to hear pal.

Stay safe. You never know, we might have another 2 minute chat outside Tommy Frosts one day. Xx

The mother in law works in a Covid testing facility in Lancashire - they are already forewarning the staff of the possibility of another 'full scale' lockdown come new year.

I'm waiting for an IPSOS MORI study one to arrive. Just taking it out of civic duty though as I clearly don't have the virus.

You wouldnt know if you had it or not.

I haven't left the house for quite a while mate, only click and collect shopping.

Makes not difference although you are mitigating the risk.
Lady by me never left her home for over 5 months. Got the virus ended up in hospital , doesnt have a clue where she got it , but suspects off a package , delivery shopping or her mail.

There's also the possibility of you being asymptomatic.

Yet we have been given a 'week off', as if we haven't been prepared for a low key Christmas since March. Scandalous.

Obviously don't know her circumstances, but I for one couldn't live like that.
I feel for the lady.

It seems like the majority of big cities/towns will be under Tier 3. Hopefully Merseyside will be tier 2, Joe Anderson seems to think it will be.

Saying that, there aren't many differences between tier 2 and tier 3 anyway.

 

[peteblue]

It looks like everyone will be in tier 2 or 3, maybe @roydo will get in tier 1

anyway by way of lightening the mood...

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Fully expecting us to be thrown into Tier 3 again. Anything different would be a welcome suprise.
