COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[blueinsa]

Its exactly contrasting scenarios like the above that are driving people fucking nuts with frustration,anger,and bewilderment.

Ive just been to a supermarket this morning and any form of social distancing was none existent,it was just full of selfish,arrogant and thick fuckers hell bent on sorting themselves out......yet,woe betide anyone who goes round their neighbours to interact sensibly and bring a little bit of sanity back into their life.

Our local Tesco and even the bigger supermarkets in Dumfries are horrendous. Worse of all is seeing most of the staff with no fucking masks on!

I will obey the law and rules up to a point. Once its patently obvious its a fucking ridiculous rule and i feel i and the family can ignore it safely then ignore it i will and being socially distant in a garden seeing family once or twice a week to ensure they are ok and to give us all a mental health boost is one of them.

Totally empathise, and because of those behaviours you saw, the majority will have to suffer.

The Government are guilty imo of assuming they are governing a state of rational and honest people.
They really have to come down hard on the people hell bent on putting two fingers up to the rest of the country

I agree pal,and i wouldn't frown upon anyone doing similar.

This virus could be conquered by common sense,its just boils my piss that many of today's selfish half wits are lacking any.

I thought they were mandatory for supermarket workers now??

Supermarket staff get enough grief from the general public, even before Covid. The ones who are front of house, trying to ensure social distancing or show where handgel is to clean hands before entering etc, are your normal employee (the ones I have seen), and don't need Billy big bollocks giving it large because he feels no desire to wear a mask.

Could bouncers be used, who knows how that would work, but for me, the general staff shouldn't be getting shit for trying to help everyone stay safe, including the wankers hell bent on the opposite

Not advocating it but sometimes only a soldier on the door with a big fuck off machine gun will deter the self entitled fuckers!

So did I and i remember Sturgeon making it very clear that all workers had to wear.

It isn't happening!

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Too easy to blame government for everything.
Some of their response has been very poor but We all have a responsibility to act the right way and blaming the government won’t change anything or stop loved ones dying.

It will continue whilst people have the mindset of what the virus stops them doing, rather than what they can do to stop the virus.

I’ve complained to the manager of our local Asda so much that I’m blue in the face.
Staff don’t wear masks, stand around chatting (I’m in at the crack of dawn) whilst others are happy to barge into you to fill up the click and collect trollies.
Went in for the first time in two months last week and they are now wearing masks at last.

So the stores need reporting.. unless we take a stand we’re definitely pissing into the wind

Tesco has been mentioned nationally re this issue so we will see if they actually do something.

My son worked in the CO OP over summer, the rules were staff haveto wear masks when they are on the shop floor, and behind the counters with other staff. If they were behind a till or a counter fitted with screens and no other staff were behind the screen with them they could take their masks off. Must say the 2 supermarkets near me are sticking to those rules.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Wifes mum and her fella live in the same village as us. Huge garden, 4m square gazebo, fire pit and no fucking rules will stop us sitting around it once or twice a week for a natter, a brew and a beer. If we can go to work or the supermarket to fight over a bog roll we can do what humans do and that is socialise safely and with some distancing in place.

My family are all in Heywood and not seeing them is fucking hard and i will respect not being able to do so but some of the rules are stupid.

Bloody right.
Life has been superseded by survival and it’s not what we are.

This post has been valid daily for as long as I have lived in fairness.

Phone camera Facebook twitter does wonders to give companies a miraculous new found sense of responsibility.

The worry I have isn't with the UK, it's with the rest of the world because it's fine removing the virus from here but open the borders and it will start all over again which is why an international vaccine from the WHO is needed. That stupid tit president removing funding from the WHO has to be amongst the most idiotic decisions of his presidency.

East Asia, Australia, NZ and a couple of other places have essentially eliminated it though. Parts of the world are actually doing a pretty good job, Europe and NA are the epi centres at the moment.

Just thought I would post this from the BBC this very morning. Some countries are doing it right.

Australia records zero Covid-19 cases for first time in five months

Locally-transmitted cases have dropped to zero and one state is hopeful for a "normal Christmas".

Priorities all askew in this country, if I drop litter on market street I am pounced on and fined . Walk into a shop with no mask and no exemption card to explain it snd nothing happens.
need to be like Isle of Man send them to prison

Can’t compare Europe to Australia, there’s nothing there. Can take a day or 3 to get from one city to another, never mind another country. not 30 minutes or an hour like most of europe.

The government needs to learn to communicate.

I'd agree with that, but make it "The government needs to learn to communicate with everyone, not just those that watch the press conferences or the news."

In other words get footballers, musicians, youtubers, kids TV presenters etc etc, to communicate the message, because ministers and scientists get through to <30% of the population.
