Coronavirus outbreak

[tom73]

This is fascinating. I think there may have been an edict from the council or inspections since the changes that have just come in. The cafe I'm sat in alone (been past and in a few times) has completely reorganised the seating and ripped even more out. The only downside to this is it may encourage bigger groups.

This venue I believe was covid secure, so it's interesting it's been tightened up considerably.

Maybe they been round I've notice some supermarkets have now pushed back and acting much more like they should have been.
Some are still a few for all. One thing it's made the queue worse now one long one waiting for a till with plenty of chatting and standing up close. Trying to keep your distance as go past the shelves is interesting. How long it will last come key Christmas trade I don't know.

Time for you to get a job then to take advantage?

So what's the alternative @Accy cyclist ?
Pay them benefits until they get a job which no-one has a clue which jobs will be left at the end of this.
In the mean time leading to mental health issues, over due bills, rent/mortgage arrears, or even worse eviction and homelessness.
All effect not just them but the wider economy and society. That's before we even get to ill health from fuel and food poverty.
Or if the house hold has kids to being up or the effect on them health and eduction wise.
My mate is a CEO of local leisure company they have to run at 50% capacity due to covid safe rules. Now he's more than happy to comply and has done everything by the book because he just want's everyone to be safe. They can't without help keep everyone employed once furlough ends and he was looking at letting people go. Now he can more than likely keep all staff but on less hours and still breakeven. That's all he really is looking for at the moment keeping afloat and paying the bills. He's already taken out a 100K loan to keep the wheels on. What more would you like him to do sack people and say never mind you can have your job back once covid is over? Or keep everyone in work with some state help?

I think it's work 1/3 of your hours and get paid 77% of your salary. varies on how many hours you work.

I've done my bit! Being self employed at the time of my cancer i was back at work two weeks after my operation. This snowflake generation will probably need counselling just to get them back to work. Which we now find will not be for the foreseeable future! The teachers will be just itching for school closures now!!

And talking of 'itching' i'm just itching for some muzzled Stasi type to confront me over my refusal to bow down to this growing police state and wear one! I was nearly there last night in a local supermarket. One pleb glared at me(well it seemed so,even though i could only see half a face). 'Come on,bring it on'! was the telepathic message i sent to the pleb,but i think my steel tipped walking cane might've deterred an aggressive advance.

NHS app failed to log out of a venue (for whatever reason, I don't know).

don‘t you think your beloved pubs would probably have gone under without furlough and without this new scheme?

And given his health conditions, you'd think he'd wear one. Just wear one you nob !

When you tried ?
The guide says that if you forget it logs you out it should log you out in 24 hours. But then that's not much help either with all the variables this app may end up making things worse.

24 hours in the boozer, or even worse, 24 hours drinking coffee

Yes as I said yesterday this weighting is very very high, especially as all current socialising I am doing is outdoors.

I've not as much experience with Bluetooth LE, but regular Bluetooth achieves a higher range outdoors away from interference from ring mains and the like, so I do wonder what real-world outdoor distances will be measured as "2-4m" by this system.

I'm also puzzled why the press don't seem to be questioning this policy change to 4m for 30mins now being a close contact and demanding the evidence for it. App-driven policy-making?

It does log me out, I am logged out of the venue at midnight.
