Coronavirus outbreak

[tom73]

Just been into town some clearly expect this weekend to go well given the about of beer being delivered all other the place.
It's well past just restocking after lockdown. The local spoons has really pack in the tables out the back. Wondered why they had removed the normal breakfast bar style well space seating. If that's how they've are managing the outside i'd not fancy being inside.
Many places and local police have asked people to not go mad this weekend. In the mean time the council have spent the last dew days putting up bunting all over the place. All with a back drop of local cases still way too high talk about mixed messages

I'm a confirmed beer drinker and even have shares in a couple of craft breweries but I fear that cabin fever combined with covid is not a good mix. The local beer shop isn't opening because they're sensible - they're giving it a few days to see how things settle down. I tend to go out on my own, which I think rules me out of the places that take bookings per table (though I'll investigate this). At least a few more weeks of drinking indoors for me.

Leicester lockdown area extended and splits service station in two. Rule is don't walk over the link bridge but welcome break say it's open and your free to use it. That clears that up then.

When questioned this morning on R4, the transport secretary Grant (would you buy a new used car from this man?) Shapps seemed quite adamant that Greece would NOT be on the list of countries granted(!) exemption from the quarantine requirements. Now the list has been published this afternoon, Greece is mysteriously included on the favoured list. How strange.

Edited: "used", not "new", dur!

Very worried about what’s going to happen this weekend. This could set us back by months.

Boris on the briefing has just done the all government is doing this , that and the other it's all ok just don't over do it this weekend.
He than ask Whitty and co if they had anything to add... greeted with total silence. Some time's it's not what you say but what you do.
They just said all you need to know.

I'm considering running a sweepstake for the time the first person falls off the quay in town (1 foot edge, no fence), or first coastguard shout on the coast.

I know of at least 2 pubs planning on opening tonight

 

[Johnno260]

Thing is I understand the need for social contact, but my issue is use the beaches as an example, total carnage, you can’t ask people to use common sense as it’s not very common at the moment.

Many are acting with total disregard for others, I’m ashamed of some people’s behaviour.

last thing tired health workers need is the usual nonsense of picking up drunks all weekend.

It will be like the last night of drinking before everything closed, but worse, and it’s the tax payer who is paying for many of these drinks, and the tab to pick the people off the street afterwards.

Also not another good example of government paying attention to details, however staggering is not necessarily all bad.

Yep if someone feels the need to rush off to the Pub at breakfast time then ........................................................

One thing that may mean pubs aren't as busy as they might be is I think people genuinely have no idea what is opening and what isn't and may not want to travel that far.

Maybe. Or just maybe you have more Great British Common Sense (TM) than the incompetent narcissists and ideologues the Great British Public handed over the keys for the asylum to.

Hasn't Boris got that covered/claimed that one already?

Heard this on the hospital grapevine today (bit slow). Hospital based dentist leaves ITU after 86 days including weeks having his blood oxygenated by a machine (ECMO).

Blimey!
