Re: Coronavirus update

Another waste of cash.....

oN, they are late with 9000 tests a day and late with Test track and trace, but they are going to be really early with the wide pavements to feck up the motor cars they hate, so that when they allow people to go to work the cars they have to use to maintain social distances on the trains and buses will not be able to get around too easily.
Can't have the population thinking they're not being controlled can we?

I don't think that when the government tells everybody to stay in their houses for 2 months that anybody's pretending we're not being controlled. You're not Neo from the Matrix so wind yer neck in you drama queen

Re: Coronavirus update

Guess I'm wrong about that then. Apologies. I'll revert to my original post that he was wrong and so was Jenrick.

I'm guessing you'll be sticking to fact that it was fine for Jenrick to travel to his second home and unnecessarily visit his parents who had food and medication delivered to them by their community?

I was wrong so I apologised - it's the appropriate thing to do when you're wrong. Tell it like it is will disappear when he's wrong as he will refuse to accept it and face up the consequences of it (which isn't much on a f**king messageboard).

I wouldn't class him as a narcissist though... he's just a stubborn hyprocrite who thinks that he's right all of the time.

Re: Coronavirus update

I had a Coronavirus test 8 days ago (although I didn't have any symptoms) and haven't had the result. I can't see that the result will be registered as a 'positive' in my case but such a long wait in respect of non-NHS tests across the board must reduce the usefulness of it.

Are you self-isolating?

My partner works in a care home and had a sore throat on a Monday. Was told to go home. Had a test on a Tuesday. Result was on the Friday. Partner would have been back in work on Monday anyway (sore throat had gone, and end of 7 day isolation) so the result of the test was my partner had no speedy way back into work (ideally could have worked Wednesday). Result, £95 pay for the week, care home short staffed. The result was negative, and the call came in late Friday. I suspect that a positive result may have seen a quicker notification.

My wife woke up with a cough Tuesday. Test Wednesday. Still waiting result. She wouldnt be off normally with the symptom but of course it could be really mild.

Luckily pay isnt affected.

At least IF its negative I can come out of isolation as I can only do very limited work at home.

That was the bonus for me, I didn't have to spend another week and a bit in isolation. We were already struggling having come out of a period of isolation when my partner had symptoms that were more covid-like. No test that time though. Partner was feeling not very good for 10-11 days (£95 pay for 2 weeks), I couldn't go out until day 14. We struggled to get any food deliveries, finally getting one on the 10th day. In both cases, I think the chance that my partner had covid-19 was no more than 10% first time, and 0% second time.

Experiment shows human speech generates droplets that linger in the air for more than 8 minutes

Ordinary speech can emit small respiratory droplets that linger in the air for at least eight minutes and potentially much longer, according to a study published Wednesday that could help explain why infections of the coronavirus so often cluster in nursing homes, households, conferences, cruise ships and other confined spaces with limited air circulation.

My God, why hasn't Mr Drakeford ordered the mandatory wearing of face masks/coverings in all enclosed places, including households where more than one person resides?

Nutters/wackos/crackpots/wishy-washy libertarians/chavs and other smelly types will object of course but they must be made to bow to authority.

I was staggered to learn in a post of yours a few pages back that you're a public sector wallah. What a shock!

I'd have never have guessed there's an office out there where you spend your days mincing.

Typical of you to be wrong (doesn't it ever get tiring?). I spend about 80% of my time working in the community and then 20% doing admin (at home).

I told you what I did for a living when you were getting your facts wrong about Universal Credit and homelessness - based on your prejudices and assumptions (and incorrectly following data... another trend you follow) on the politics thread a few months ago.

Do you tend to forget all of the things that you've been wrong about over time? It's probably easier that way.

Also, you forgot to address the purpose of the post - the shtick about how you're actually for stronger government measures isn't amusing for anybody but you. We all still remember the Plandemic stuff

I must have missed your earlier public sector admission. Had I not I'd have made mention of it before now. I will make up for it in future though, of that you can be assured.
