No new deaths 45 per 100,000 now in Wales. One of the markers for Tier 1. We remain in Tier 4.
Things looking far more positive.
yes, a couple more weeks and we should be safe to start opening upQuote:

Drakeford replied that we couldn't afford three weeks because of the impact on Welsh business.Quote:

As an example Ive booked a haircut but my hairdresser won't know until Friday 12th whether he will be allowed to open on Monday 15th, just ridiculous for businesses to try to work on those sorts of timelines.
Also 30% of the population of Wales have had a Covid jab. That's the main reason that things are improving throughout the UK. When the current lockdown started no one had received a vaccination. He has to be bold enough to realise that keeping levels down should be relatively straightforward as the jab roll out continues, and get focussed on trying to get the Welsh economy back on it's feet
In Cardiff there is no difference really between stay home and stay local. You would think he’d know that.....there’s no way that people won’t be going wherever come Easter.Quote:

Third most expensive project in human history and it had little or no difference to the spread of the virus.
what a joke.
We an afford to throw away this money with no benefit, but we can't afford infrastructure spending unless it is in London
Well I am certainly a fan of good ventilation.... :getscoat:Quote:

Being outside, in the outdoors in #FreshAir is a lot safer,
But spending time with others outside your household without social distancing in enclosed spaces is a higher risk- such as travelling in a car together, Of course the longer you spend in that environment the risk increases
Remember that coronavirus is transmitted in the air via droplets and aerosols. It is #airborne. So wear the best mask you can get if you go into environments where you’re in close contact with people from outside your bubble. FFP2 standard masks offer very good protection
The way the virus spreads hasn’t changed, but rather our understanding of it has greatly improved. Less emphasis on hand hygiene (although that is always good) and more on the environment you choose to spend time in and with whom.
Me and my missus are getting married on 5th April 25 yews to the day we first met in a nightclub. It’s a registry office affair with just our kids present because we have both had previous white weddings. We had hoped to go for a nice meal afterwards but everywhere will be closed. Every cloud though ad it means I will, get to watch Reading v Derby on iFollow. True romance if you ask me.
Congratulations.Quote:

I'm all for people having a go, entrepreneurs supplying something different, but rules are put in place for a reason.

They've gone on the attack, haven't they?Quote:

There are a few other things to consider as well. That decking can end up like an ice rink if it's the wrong (cheap) material, also, it's elevated, which means that it would have to be built to a specification with some basic calcs-Live load (that's us humans) and dead load (furniture fittings etc) Guard rails for kids, a business can't just knock up a structure and not consider the implications of safety, that may sound like bullshit to those that hate health and safety. the local authority etc, although they wouldn't be best pleased if the structure collapsed or their kid went through a gap in the guard rail. All the council want is retrospective, a few structural improvements may be asked of them.Quote:

Yeah, that's why there's a maximum capacity with certain buildings be etc. People may think that it's just fire regs, but weight on the floor, especially if it's an old wooden beam structure has to be taken into account. Boring but true!
So what you're suggesting is that we should go there once lockdown ends, get ourselves a very minor injury caused by the decking and sue the bastards for something far more severe that could have been realistically caused by workmanship that hadn't been approved for it's intended purpose?Quote:

Yup, and I could go on Facebook and post a picture (amongst my many posts and pictures slagging political correctness, health and safety, the world's gone mad etc) of my injury, name said business and owners, call them money grabbing scum, tell everyone what a terrible year I've had, and that the incident occurred on the same day that my bestie died 10 years ago, and top it off by wanting to know what the **** the council are going to do about it.Quote:
