Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

It’s not rocket science. I’m watching every day 16/17 year olds in groups walking to and from a technical college near me, fags, vaping, chatting, not a mask to be seen. Weer immune doh.

Same. You see a few masks, but not like in Sainsburys.

Really? Their circuit breaker didnt really work did it. Some on here blame England.

Apparently so according to Radio 4 earlier on today. It'll make an extra week onto their two weeks off, which might do some good.

I thought I had heard that on the news just now. Seems sensible, unless all the parents get it!

Its a easy link to make. Not sure if true though. What with the time lags and that.

Oh I didn't mean for the stats now; thinking more Jan stats.

And since you mention a supermarket, doing my head in these people wandering around without masks. I’ve seen them challenged in tk Maxx, but a door woman in Asda told me ”we’re not allowed to challenge them”. It’s pathetic, this is a serious situation. When are these shops going to get real? It should be “No mask, no entry, no exceptions”. If wearing a mask inhibits your breathing, you shouldn’t be out shopping.

My local Sainsburys, and Tesco come to that, do just that. But in me experience, they havnt needed to ask anyone to wear one.

The circuit break in Wales was an absolute joke. No lockdown for two weeks works unless people are locked in their homes for the whole time.

Pretty sure the rates in Yorkshire have nearly halved in the last two weeks, which is obviously a positive.

I saw earlier that in my area in Wakefield, there have been 10 reported/confirmed cases this week. In my mum and dad's area, there's been 4. Leeds city centre has had 12 cases.

Too quick to jump on my posts these days, Fred.

This Covid has put everyone on edge, even though I argue about putting anyone on ignore, I’ve had to do it recently....

You need to stick a bizzie on the front door then mate.

Only way that stops.

Need direct community action. Groups of other shoppers pulling up these individuals if the security guards cant.
