Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

You've got to stay home. It's annoying and inconvenient but it will save lives.

No mate, he was going out to exercise from his home as is permitted.

However some busy body took it upon themselves to phone the Polis and tell porkies about what he was doing.

I`m massively pro law and order, but there has to be a degree of common sense applied in all this.

He lives in a village, where the nearest shop is five miles away and they have a population of about 500.

Too many people with too much time on their hands.

As has been said from the start testing is where We’ll see the way out of this , or at least a way to some form of normality. Still feels a long way away at the minute mind .

For us it feels far off because we have a bunch of incompetents in charge (who've suddenly ducked out of the fight altogether) and they made no preparation for the crisis, so we're struggling to see a chink of light never mind the sunny uplands.

Possibly the same village then...

Gleaston ?

Imagine grassing on someone leaving their house though!

Gleaston ?

Broughton Moor. So the other end of the West coast.

Imagine grassing on someone leaving there house though!

Or not even leaving their house...

If he was asymptomatic why on earth was he tested

either because he is a rich footballer who traveled recently or because other countries have vastly superior testing facilities

again I’ve no argument with any of that , over zealous enforcement of laws such as this will only have one result and it’ll be to turn people away from where they currently are . Most people seem to be happy to be ‘all in this together‘ but it doesn’t take much to shift it . We’ve seen through history , even on these islands , the police and military deployed with one intention and swiftly losing the population . Common sense and discretion and significantly more valuable in these situations than rigid disciplinarians .

Used to have a lovely cafe.

Australians have been told to limit themselves to buying just 12 bottles of wine and two cases of beer a day as a coronavirus lockdown saw panic buying of alcohol.

Major retailers agreed to enforce new rules limiting individual purchases as Australians went on a booze-buying spree amid a shutdown of non-essential services - including pubs and bars.

Australian social media has been awash with video and pictures of shoppers loading supermarket trolleys with alcohol in the face of lockdowns that could last weeks.

The restrictions come as data from the Commonwealth Bank - one of the country's biggest financial institutions - showed spending on alcohol at bottle shops jumped 86% last week as drinkers migrated from bars to backyards.

I take it that limit is per person.

That is breakfast sorted. What about lunch??

I hate to think what will happen if the restrictions are tightened further.

The curtain commandos would have an absolute field day.

Inbreds them lot.

Is right. A vertiable welter of plastic RS, United, City and Chelsea fans.

Still does, just not open at the mo !

Sincerely sorry for your loss. I know what it feels like.

You're becoming a sanctimonious arse too.

Bye
