Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

[tsubaki]

Isle of Man fully open again for residents, with no restrictions whatsoever, no masks, no social distancing, with all of the Covid Incubation Factories, pubs, restaurants, hairdressers, gyms etc open for unrestricted business.

Great news for everyone else, as this is hopefully the template for the rest of us ( apart from Dave obs )

.... and yet all the papers backed “true love” in the case of that idiot on the jetski

Hopefully this shows that by doing the right things, things can return to normal, despite what some may say.

* I appreciate they’re a tiny island with their own rules.

Are they the lateral test ones?

Utterly useless if they are. Like something out of a lucky bag.

Looks like they've been sending them to Tanzania

They have duty to speak out if they dont like the way the vaccine they made is being used correctly.

Depends if they are legally gagged if so don't suppose they can.

I'm an internationalist. I have no government.

 

[summerisle]

I used to do that. And I was 19 at the time.

What did you charge ?

 

[Billy Dean]

Whatever. We desperately need more vaccine availability.
They're measuring vaccinations in a few thousands here compared with hundreds of thousands in UK.

Yes I think that's what they're trying to address with this summit. I'm not holding my breath though.

Probably this is case; it certainly is with some NHS staff

Can be put down to being weekend but there has been a sizeable drop in the hospital death figures today, around 270 down from yesterday and under 250 down from last week

Well you're the Smith.

What did you charge ?

10p.

It was yeeeears ago.

 

[BlueToff]

Was pleased to hear they are starting door to door testing, until I found out they are just posting kits to everyone in the relevant towns and then collecting them.

They've been delivering kits for anti-body tests and actual tests since October.

Star Recruitment were the contractors doing it, and ironically then placed people on furlough.

Regardless of who it was that made the error, she's responsible.
