Just spoke to my surgery about putting repeat perscriptions in for those not going out and she has given me the email for the surgery and do it that way
You have to ring your own surgery and get their email
This is brilliant,get on it
 
The problem is they didn't link the two, they ignored 99% of the answer and only focused on 2 words.

Also if you can't see how telling anyone with any symptoms whatsoever to isolate for 2 weeks is not something to reduce the peak then I don't know what to tell you, you're being wilfully ignorant.
That’s being rather charitable, Dom, as the mere reference to herd immunity in the context of the statement was woefully inaccurate to what they were apparently attempting to achieve (I am assuming it was in fact bad communication and not that they have since changed the focus due to the backlash). ‘Herd immunity’ is a deep, sweeping principle that does not even remotely mean what the spokesman was intending (if the government follow up is to be believed) and I don’t think the resulting scrutiny and criticism (of both the application of the principle and the bumbling communication of their plan) is misplaced. The actual meaning, and large elements of their plan, would not have been formally clarified for public consumption without that criticism, so it served a very important purpose.

But, as I write this, I realise we are again going well in to the political realm and we should take further discussion to the COVID-19: Political Discussion Thread.

Think most pharmacies do it on line now ? Been doing mine for the last few years, hope you’re feeling better x
 
You guys have really serous problem with alcohol in UK. That is one thing the UK should focus on when this shit is finished.

Spanish police is a joke though. No masks, no gloves, talking with drunk half naked 50 years olds at 20 cm distance. Total joke.
You’re right.
They should get the water cannons out.

That quote you gave - same sentence, so linked, however inadvertently. No clear mention of a radically different timeframe. No clarification published despite immediate reporting indicating that the media understanding was other than what might be intended.

I do not consider advice to be action - no enforcement, not practical for some population. Woolly, and doesn't butter parsnips. Blocking major events/gatherings would have been action, but they didn't. They didn't even ban foreign school trips from what I heard, they merely advised about them!

And you're down to being insulting, wilfully. That always works well here.

Edit: see later note to @SebastianBlue.
