COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[Mike Cledford]

Some of the u-turns are interesting. One of the Blues with the biggest Facebook followings was calling the virus a hoax a month ago. I saw he posted the other night that he was waiting on the results of his fifth Covid test.

Not surprising but how does he get 5 tests when you hear people cannot get them at all or have drive ridiculous distances.

I agree. And there’s a massive difference asking people not to have big parties etc and expecting them to stay apart from family for months. My mum is dying of cancer so I go in her house, although we are both in areas with restrictions, and she can’t be a bubble as she has my Dad. But that is all I do. My baby granddaughter I can only see outside, so I take the pram for 2 hour walks. I haven’t been in my daughters house since July. The thought of that for another year is awful.

I'm in absolutely no way a covid denier or anything of the sorts. I realise how serious it is and the importance of distancing, isolating when necessary etc. I've stuck to lockdown rules very well over the course and am still doing so now. But without an end in sight, or one as far as 12 months off, I'll crumble at some point. Selfish? Make your own mind up. Another year of this or somewhere close to it makes life almost pointless.

I’m not sure mate. The test centre capacity seems very hit and miss.!He’s probably got plenty of time to check the websites without helping people with match tickets.

Those supporters clubs are first in the queue for everything!!..

It was more of a rhetorical question. I don't understand the tickets thing though. OSC but surely not your branch?

I just asked Tim if it was OSC related.

How about trying to identify some short terms targets / wins. I started on Sunday with the idea to get fitter in a fortnight. Work has pretty much dried up so I can focus on regular exercise. Yesterday I got a bit drenched in a long walk lol and this afternoon I’m doing community gardening.

I’ve been walking round Supporters Club packs for the Branch I run as part of this effort. I know that won’t be helpful for everyone but there’s opportunities for volunteering etc in most areas to help keep busy. I’ve also been getting a few improvements to my house done whilst things are slow.

A vaccine might take another year and is not a guaranteed panacea but treatments are improving all the time. Look at Trumpy and Regeneron!

Not the OSC lol. I think they are too busy fighting project “big picture”

your situation will be repeated the land over and people simply wont stand for 12 more months. I asked the qu on here about what would happen if by Spring a vaccine simply wasnt appearing, or not for a long time, and i think we need to start planning for that now.

Haha. We’ve got some decent wallets for our OSC membership cards this year though.

Btw I don’t mind people changing their views that might be linked to say family circumstances or developments in medicine /!science etc. For example, I know people who were all for herd immunity until family members got and that’s understandable.
