Coronavirus (2021) thread

[Blue.Roys.Son]

I have to say that this thread has taken a disturbing downwards plunge into the depths of despair tonight.

Yep as expected and predicted due to recent reporting by the BBC and news in general.

This is what you get if you have false headlines and don't report things in the correct manner.

I think Boris will be clearer on whether schools will open on March 8. Beyond that I’m not too confident either. He might just specify the order in which restrictions will be eased without getting a timetable.

Obviously social distancing, hand sanitizer use and mask wearing in supermarkets will be with us for many months.

Im used to wearing masks now, EVERY ONE should sanitise anyway so hopefully that will stay.
I just need a little bit of carrot rather than stick

Give it a rest. You are becoming very boring.

I'm as desperate for this to be over as much as anyone but to hear so many opposite views coming from the cabinet is demoralising. They should all be on the same page or risk some people not taking any more notice of them as appeared on the ITV news tonight. Some dickhead was interviewed and said he didn't care and was going on holiday anyway

4-4 now with Spurs trying to dive for penalties. I’m hoping for extra time.

*sorry. General footie chat

Perfect it’s gone to extra time, ideal for us.

22nd is supposedly the date the road map will be revealed. Just have to wait

Yeah i understood that. 15th for them to start discussing it. 22nd to tell us. 8th when schools will start to go back (mrs a teacher and led to believe that itsll be key stage 1 only first)

wouldnt mind a bit more info tho all the same. But i still dont think we’ll learn much other than schools info

Trafford picks up another 6 on Stockport's fast dwindling overall pop score lead to now just 51. Weekly Pop down 13 to 155. Best weekly Pop score and Trafford head and shoulders the best in almost every measure in GM now.



Pop Scores Today v 7 Days ago // Up/down over past week (lowest numbers best - numbers going up bad and going down good)


Trafford 155 v 211 // down 56

Tameside 176 v 257 // down 81

Everybody down week to week, three boroughs below 200 and several others close to doing so.

Only Bolton was having problems but seems to have stabilised.

Absolutely fucking spot on.

People need to stay the fuck away from the news. Fucking toxic

 

[WNRH]

Does anyone else just randomly get craving like urges to do normal stuff?

I am missing a lot of stuff at the moment, the simplest things, today it was getting on a train to Manchester and getting a Greggs whilst walking to the ground.

I’m sick to death of Zoom when a phone call will do.

We need a light, something to aim for

As an example, we are all supposed to be hyper panicked about the South African varient, but look has whats happened in South Africa without a vaccine!
