Coronavirus (2021) thread

Grant Shapps is full of shit. On radio four this morning saying do not book foreign or domestic holidays. I distinctly remember him last year on radio 4 saying there would be no foreign holidays last year and waxing lyrical about holidays in this country and how great they are. Fast forward two months and there he is in Spain having to return early to avoid having to self isolate for 14 days

Domestic holidays ? Hancock has already said he’s going to Cornwall for his holidays. So if it’s good enough for him it’s good enough for me .

What punishment would you suggest for someone coming into our country and lying about where they have come from?

Send them back!

Anyone had a dental checkup lately

Yeah, couple of weeks back. Why?

I'm trying, I really am trying to keep positive but I have reached real low points just recently. This announcement overnight that anyone lying about where they've travelled from can be imprisoned for TEN years astonished me. How can this be possible without parliamentary discussion and a vote? Yet all over the country pandemic or not kids are stabbing and killing one another and I don't see such a huge response to stop that.

It's the constant lies and shifting of the goalposts too. Just six weeks, just three months, just until we have a vaccine, just until the vulnerable are vaccinated, now it's when EVERYONE is vaccinated and as if that's not enough it's now when the whole world is vaccinated. It's like psychological torture.

I agree that this 10-year prison term is way out of kilter compared to other, more serious, offences not related to the pandemic and also goes against the government's soft-as-shite handling of the pandemic throughout where they've allowed too many to get away with too much compared to other countries but I wouldn't get too hung up about it because I very much doubt anyone found guilty of it will be sent down for 10 years, plus if anyone does end up lying about their travel history in light of this news then they're beyond stupid and deserve no sympathy.
Personally, I'd much sooner they dished out 10 year prison terms to any high profile Covid deniers spreading lies and misinformation about this pandemic because when it comes to Covidiots those cunts are the most dangerous of the fucking lot IMO. And before sending them down, I'd make them do a voluntary shift on a Covid ward without PPE. Let's see how much squealing they do then about this virus being a hoax.

Firing squad, hanging or lethal injection. Choice is theirs.

What is more worrying is that the Government have obviously identified people are actually attempting to gain entry to the UK, deliberately misleading border controllers

Totally agree, the 10 years is just one more example of a govt not in control and making things up without thinking through....never happen - we have women being killed every week and those responsible dont get 10 fucking years. To think you will get sent to prison for even 1 year for not filling in a form is an insult to those who died and justice system, but maybe it makes sense on fucking Planet Boris!

South Africa at the moment looks like it is on the downward slope on infections and daily deaths. Daily cases was 1742 yesterday, how more infectious is their strain compared to what we have circulating here? Is summer in the Southern Hemisphere playing a factor in the drop or other fractures such as immunity in the wider population?
