Coronavirus update - NO MORE RESTRICTIONS

Re: Coronavirus update

People touch clothes and spend longer browsing them. You don't touch the different brands of cornflakes to decide which you like best.

I think you might be surprised with what folk touch in supermarkets, just watch folk testing fruits for the ripeness, or squeezing bread for freshness , looking at the longer best by dates with their hands , some just after picking thier snouts , and scratching their arse.

I wonder how many wash thier hands after the toilet .

Yes, obviously people touch things, I'm not suggesting they use telekinesis.

Re: Coronavirus update

Given that most of us believe the situation will get worse for a few months at least what is the position with regard to the replacement Nightingale hospital in Cardiff. If there isn't a replacement to the Principality Stadium facility could a potential shortage of beds be the reason why Wales has gone for their firebreak earlier than the rest of the UK? Google reveals nothing about a replacement but surely there must be one?

Isn’t there one being built at the Heath hospital?

Re: Coronavirus update

Seriously? The supermarkets will be open anyway. What is the point of preventing them from selling "non-essential" items?

There's probably an element of fairness to the smaller shops as well. Why should a struggling small business selling clothes have to close but a big supermarket can carry on doing so?

But has it been built? Or is Wales left exposed by the lack of facilities leading to the early decision to "firebreak?"

Amazon will be rubbing their hands in glee. I dont think people who buy clothes in Supermarkets will shop in small independents anyway.

None of the ones in Wales were actually needed last time around, I guess they should have a better idea of what additional capacity they'll need this time too.

Re the one in the principality stadium apparently the last beds weren't due to be decommissioned until the end of October or Early November anyway, so perhaps they'll keep some capacity there.

Yes it will stop people going to supermarkets to browse stuff they don’t really need, and if you do, you can buy it online anyway.

They sure will and watch all the prices leap up like last time. Things like Lego went off the scale. Luckily my super organised wife has sorted all our kids xmas stuff already so no panic here.....

Will people be allowed to drive to Brecon to go to the butchers?

It’s not ready yet, they only started it a few weeks ago. It’s flying up though. It’s a good idea because any Covid patients can be treated in this separate unit, and hopefully, the hospital can carry on doing what it’s supposed to be doing in saving the lives of the many 1000’s who dont have coronavirus and are dying anyway.....
