Coronavirus update - NO MORE RESTRICTIONS

Re: Coronavirus update

This morning when the country is calling for leadership Boris Johnson comes out with more confused gibberish "We want people to behave fearlessly but with common sense". Presumably the same fearlessness and common sense the UK Government showed in leading the nation to among the worst health outcomes and worst economic decline in the world.

Go to work don’t go to work go to work.

Re: Coronavirus update

They’ve got to sort the pubs closing at 10 out, it’s like the old days when everything just shut at 11. The young are just grouping up and going off to house parties which is surely worse. Keep it staggered like it was, thinning out the time people all leave and go home. Will they back track? Will they......

The same could be said for any screening, scans or checks and not just for cancer.
Anybody having treatment or due to have treatment will suffer.

Grim indeed.

Re: Coronavirus update

Worldometer states that of the 12,871 cases reported on Saturday, 7070 were actual and the rest a backlog which they redistributed on their graphs. This now shows the worst day as 29 Spt with 7700 cases. Their graphs also indicate a levelling off but with very high numbers.

The data for Wales is high and includes 132 cases listed as non resident. The weekly total includes 279 in this category. Considering that the sum total since the data collection started is 511, I assume that these are university students from other parts of UK

Turns out that there were 16,000 cases that were missed due to an "IT error";-

Hence the figure for yesterday was 22,000, but, even allowing for all of the extra cases, the day on day figure is now in the region of 11 to 12 thousand and the fairly encouraging figures from the back end of last week look like they were based on false information.

She's closing the boozers and restaurants north of the border now. We had 750 odd cases in Wales today so no doubt we won't be far behind.

That should see them all never open again.....ridiculous situation.

Re: Coronavirus update

Every pub or restaurant i've been in over the summer and up to recently they've all been on top, adhering to the rules, ordered everything on a phone app and i've actually enjoyed it more. Very relaxed having table service and minimal contact with other patrons unless people in my group, family (and nowadays just me and the mrs). The staff have all been excellent and organised and abided by the social distancing rules, less tables and more room. I just don't understand the fascination to blame and hammer the pub/restaurant industry all the time.

Sounds a bit like Starmer supporting the government and then abstaining from last night's vote on the rule of 6. The Labour Party spokeman on TV had a good go at trying to justify Labour's stance but it was clear he was waffling to use up air time. In the past Wales has been held up as a good example of good practice by Welsh MPs and by some on here yet 50% of the country is in semi lockdown and the same goes for Scotland whose measures are even more severe. Let's face it all politicians of all Parties are struggling at the moment.

I agree....think they are just trying to stop students spreading it. An impossible task as they reckon as many as 80% are asymptomatic so wont even consider a test as wont have any symptoms.

What I don'tunderstand is that as the incidence of infection is apparently going up the number of tests is being limited. 2 weeks or so ago Abercynon were doing up to 1000 tests a day and now they have been told by the Government that they can only do 3-400. similarly Ebbw Vale and Cardiff Stadium centres have been limited.
It doesn't make any sense at all.

It makes no sense. Only 5% of coronavirus cases have been linked to the hospitality sector since July.

Not going to pretend I know if it's true but internet tells me, Section 12 of the 1872 Licensing Act stipulates that ‘every person found drunk… on any licensed premises shall be liable to a penalty’, which currently stands at £200.

If the problem is that those drinking too much are i) less likely to social distance and less likely to engage in proper standards of hygiene and ii) less likely to know who they came into close contact with so unable to help contact-tracers assess and act on virus spreading, wouldn't it be more appropriate to push pubs and restaurants to help enforce laws that existed before this year?

I've been out twice. Two different pubs in two different areas.

The first a city centre pub and it was how you described it. Well organised, people respectfully maintaining social distancing, staff ensuring everyone complied, it felt a safe environment.

The second pub closer to my home, **** me. I didnt stay too long due to the amount of stupid ****ers dribbling over everyone.

Instead of hammering all the pubs, hammer the stupid fuucktards who think its clever to spread a virus.
