COVID-19 — Coronavirus

I heard yesterday in some interview, that the meeting only one parent etc per day scenario, is based on the theory it halves the amount of people out and about. 250k rather than 500k. Kind of makes sense.

Thank you Boris - My nanny/cleaner is starting back to work tomorrow, kids sorted - so I am off to play golf (and hold an outside business meeting) while the wife is booked to play tennis at club with her "coach" - We promise to stay alert, good job Boris lad.

Are the french being as moronically dumb as the noisy minority on here asking what “be careful” means?

It means if you see a German, surrender immediately.

As much as we moan, we’re no different to other countries - this is Australia where they have decided to open shopping malls.

More the mentality , soon as a shopping mall opens thousands descend - we’ll be seeing similar scenes here soon.

I have heard the phrase ‘Use your common sense’ quite a bit these past couple of days. Pity that a huge number of this country lack this. New guidelines are simple to follow if you read and listen to what has been said. Is there a correlation between those people on furlough who are being paid whilst flouting the rules and the fact that furlough payments may be reduced and these people might have to work? I understand that everyone has their own specific lifestyle but we are talking about guidelines for 66m people and there will always be anomalies. Media has been banging on about easing lockdown and now they are shit stirring saying it’s confusing when it’s not unless you are being a total arse or if you have a shoe size larger than your IQ

Crikey, that was fun, listening to Michael O’Leary on GMTV. He’s cracking on with expectations to be flying 1,000 flights a day from July 1st. Plans in place regarding masks etc, and basically just said “bollocks” to the idea of the quarantine on returning to the UK, lol.

I get a general feel that easeing of restrictions worldwide is being rapidly increased day by day.

You’ll get nowhere on here speaking sense!

How anyone expects there to be a simple answer to EVERY single connotation regarding getting back to work is ridiculous. This though, imo, is probably where the government and its ministers have failed in the way they’ve dealt with this, as not once have I just heard them say a simple variation on this response. Any person with a modicum of common sense can see what they are trying to do but they are allowing the main stream media and planks like Piers Morgan to cause unnecessary further damage.

That bit where he just randomly started speaking French and said that we of course all know what that means... is he having a fucking laugh?

Eugenics, he's sacrificing the less educated. C'est la vie.
