Foster14 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Waiting with bated breath to see what restrictions are coming in this week. Meant to be away this weekend and still plan to go even if "leisure" travel restrictions come in to play, but imagine if they do come in to play, a lot of hotels will be as well closing up for the foreseeable.

Henry Posted September 21, 2020 Author Share Posted September 21, 2020 Not that busy if you’ve not even left the hotel yet. ? Link to comment
Foster14 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 First thing the BBC says after is that it is showing the seriousness of it by it being the first time they've spoken like this without politicians present. Eh?! They are political advisors, doing a press conference from Downing Street. All politically managed. Link to comment
minijc Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Very very worrying, time to hunker down and get back under my bed. Link to comment
Guest milne_afc Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 That's the groundwork laid for some meaningless restrictions tomorrow. I guess it'll be, 10pm national curfew, no mixed households, mandatory masks in all settings. Waste of time imho. Edit: visits to care homes should be stopped immediately - only sensible measure I can think of. Link to comment
Zeus Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 50k cases a day says that complete gonk Whitty. Lovely bit of scaremongering No mixing households, continue to work though but just don't enjoy yourself Link to comment

Guest milne_afc Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 50k cases/day equates to 200 deaths/day. We could live with that rate for over 800 years. That's without factoring a vaccine, improved treatments and evolution. #scamdemic Link to comment

Whitty said the virus is out there and basically irrepressible - just have to mitigate against mass spreading. They'll let public whip itself to a frenzy in the next 24hrs, fearing the worst, then set out some pretty weak restrictions - making Blojo look like a cool dude to middle Guffland. Link to comment

Talking to BlowJob next and is correctly looking for a 4-nations consistent package of measures. Nailed Gove and the lack of action in arranging a Cobra. I reckon the "package of measures" will not be full lockdown but may include compulsory masks, more protections for the vulnerable, fines for non-isolation and financial help for the isolating. She said fines are a barrier to folk getting tested. More likely offering support for those asked to self isolate. Link to comment

Pubs - doesn't overly bother my day to day life. Should stay open imo. Will hammer more jobs Households mixing - shite, I can't see my pals or family. Selfish but imagine most folk who have pals or with kids feel the same 5 mile limit - shite. Just sets off folk asking why you are there or folk being clypes. Link to comment

Which has a knock of effect to the whole economy, more unemployment, less folk spending cash in shops, folk nae moving house or buying cars etc 1 Link to comment
Foster14 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Why is it when we opened up, household mixing came back before hospitality, but when we are closing down, household mixing seems to be deemed the bigger threat? Link to comment

StandFree1982 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 1 minute ago, minijc said: New data suggest around 8% The problem with these figures is that the antibodies don't last forever. They last for at least 3 months, but that means that some of the people who have had it at the very beginning may be susceptible to it again very soon. So some of those 8% will no longer have the antibodies. Link to comment
