Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

Surely the police have better things to do than fining people for parking somewhere for a bit?

Another cash grabbing opportunity by the looks of things.

Fines got to straight central government rather than the police and not a local pot, so not really. Like I said elsewhere, there’s more likely to be a back story.

I think the tone of that account kind of wound people up

just reads like some bad little weasel grass

To be fair, Hobs will be hobs, but in the wider sense they’re doing what they’ll have been advised to do.

Seen today when on a bike ride: workers felling trees, others filling pot holes in, others still cutting grass verges (in January with the grass at about an inch high) . How on earth are they essential at the peak of a pandemic? Those activities must have had about 20 odd people (and the knock on effect of going to shops /petrol stations etc involving others). That can all easily be done once the infection rates decrease.

I know I'm turning into that Harry Enfield character who's catchphrase was "You dont wanna be doing that", but seriously, there's just no sense to it.

Was your bike ride essential ?

@Joey66 Never mind the pandemic, is cutting the grass in January acceptable behaviour?

Had a day off today and saw all the key worker kids going in this morning.

Im surprised the couple next door but one, who are both unemployed, speed dealers were dropping off their son.

Vulnerable children are offered a place too.

Higher death rate per person than anywhere else in the world, and Matt Hancock is stood there smirking like a Cheshire Cat because the idiots are rolling out vaccines to an acceptable standard.

To say the Tories were overdue actually delivering something without screwing up is an understatement.

When you’ve typed out a reply and deleted it multiple times, I think that’s telling me not to comment further on these people.

Vulnerable because of certain people within their home, sadly.

Possibility of 'long Covid' could be established in patients soon after they are infected

New research suggests why some people experience longer-lasting symptoms of the virus.

Was your bike ride essential ?

It was exercise, which is allowed.

Is your existence essential?

Not really if cut before the first frost it stunts it unless we have a very very mild winter which is not the case ATM - plus the amount of rain we have had lately it's far to wet....,.are you sure it was not a job creation scheme.lol

As is felling trees, filling in pot holed and cutting the grass.

They could all be done at a later date.
