Though I am a bit confused about how this comment fits with your earlier support for a new lockdown.

exactly why government have to impose lockdown unfortunately

Tbf if I was 86 I would think fuck it as I might die tomorrow so I am not going to spend more time locked in my house,that age are very stubborn as they have seen it all before

No-one's seen this before. It's like walking round the shops when the air raid sirens are going off.

In the early days of the virus there was a study that tested how long it lasted on various materials compared to SARS 1. (cardboard one day, metals (other than copper) up to a week. Has any other research been done since?

It’s just a fuckin shambles from day one,it’s here for a very long time,Johnson hasn’t a clue,he won’t listen to the top medical officer,keeps over ruling him,God or whoever you are,Help Us.

If everyone thinks like you, there wont be any pubs left to go in by the time a vaccine is available.

Well I'm another who won't be going in a pub until the situation has dramatically improved. The whole concept of social distancing in a pub is barmy in itself. Alcohol releases inhibitions so keeping your distance becomes less and less likely with every pint, it's no wonder we're seeing clusters based around pubs like the one in Aberdeen.

Yep. Social media is filled with folk all huddled round each other for photo's on their days out, as if they have some sort of immunity to the virus. Football was on in pubs on Saturday and saw pictures of groups of 50 or 60 football fans all huddled round a flag for a photo opportunity outside a local boozer.

It's all well and good blaming the government whether that be Scottish or the UK but in a lot of cases I bet the same clowns won't be willing to take any shred of responsibility upon themselves. Idiots.

Just missing the gas masks for complete protection. Bloody anti flash was awful under the chin, used to itch like fuck

Long time since I last wore it, but I seem to recall - put it on and you instantly wanted to go to sleep. And a new set usually had an aroma of fish about it it. Weird.

 

[shemnel]

where do tests get analysed? is it at each testing centre or is it centralised?

Depends on the pub. I’m swerving small places without outdoor areas where social distancing isn’t possible, but I’m otherwise taking a calculated risk based on the prevailing infection rate, and wider medical advice, including from within my own family.

Me too. Mothballs was the smell I recall
