TQR 12,138 Posted September 24, 2020 We’re gonna be alright in the UK, as us absolute world beaters have today launched the official NHS twat and trace app, a mere 5 months after the virus’ peak in this country. I’m only at medium risk of my own personal second wave so it’s all good here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Great Cornholio 819 Posted September 28, 2020 Boris to enforce a 'social lockdown' in north England and possibly London. Restaurants etc to close for 2 weeks initially and you cant meet others inside but outside is still fine for some reason but come back to the restaurants and cafes as soon as you can but try not to visit your mum. I mean you can breathe in the same air as 15 strangers but god forbid if you visit one other household. :O Good ol' Boris logic... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TQR 12,138 Posted September 29, 2020 And there goes the death rate; 71 new Covid deaths recorded in the last 24 hours, the most since 1st July. Also 7,143 new confirmed cases, a new record. But hospital admissions are slightly down. Maybe they’re full? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThePrematureBurial 224 Posted October 2, 2020 I spend to much time here, but, well: Wash your hands frequently with soap. And wash your face as well, so that you won't ingest the virus accidentally, when you lick your lips. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Great Cornholio 819 Posted October 2, 2020 I bet the longer this pandemic continues with the hopeless leadership we have around the world, it will soon become a popular political stance among politicians around the world to be anti-mask and want for things to get back to normal despite the virus. There are a fair number of Tory MPs that think this way already, but I mean party leaders - to the point where calling it quits on the masks, bar curfews and social distancing rules in their party manifestos and ultimately let Darwinism take its course. The way I see it, populism will be dead and buried if Trump loses the election so all the controversial politicians need a new 'thing' to go behind that will ultimately give them a USP over everyone else to why people should vote them in. Give it until the end of 2021 I reckon, then anti-mask political opposition will make a prominent rise across the western world. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TQR 12,138 Posted October 5, 2020 I mean...we’re now living in an episode of The Thick Of It, I’m absolutely convinced of it. Over 16,000 Covid test results have been lost due to them running out of room on the Excel spreadsheet they were logging all tests on. Excel of course, being merely a consumer app and not fit for purpose as a national database (obviously, for fuck sake), has a limit of 1,048,576 rows, so thousands of tests dropped off the bottom and weren’t recorded.

People touch their masks and they touch everything round the shop - plus a lot of the employees dont wear masks, even at the checkouts. So germs are still going to spread mask or no mask. Masks can decrease the likelihood of getting COVID dont get me wrong, but I think people should probably also be wearing gloves too - and even then that only decreases the likelihood slightly. I think just being super hygienic would be the key for not getting the 'rona. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TQR 12,138 Posted October 13, 2020 Just 3 weeks after scientists urged the government to do this, Keir Starmer has called for a 2-3 week full national lockdown. No idea why he’s bothering. Much like in March, it’s too fucking late. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To look more competent than the government. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
