    I'd be more worried about the sale of our data to Palantir than multiple counts on a test.

    van Morrison joins Ian Brown, Liam Gallagher and Jim Corr in calling out the slow descent into tyranny Covid is bringing.

    Looking forward to the new supergroup.

    Test site I went to was a 1 swabber.

    Economy also managed to keep its head above water (just), 1.81% growth on last year for the first half of the year. I would expect that to drop second half of the year once export trade continues to slow down.

    This comes across as a load of waffle.

    The possible measures being discussed - described by the government as a "circuit break" - include asking some hospitality businesses to close, or limiting the opening hours of some pubs and restaurants nationwide.
    Yeah because shutting down Pete's Fish Bar on Yarmouth front is a real circuit break.

    This wild knee-jerk shit really has brought out the worst in people. From Dave who won't get tested because he doesn't want his local pub to close (due to the fearmongering of 1 case shutting down the entire country) and Susan who is so desperate to avoid her menial paid job where she hates her colleagues so is getting tested 3 times a week and self-isolating where possible ripping the arse out of furlough.

    Nation full of freaks. It's also interesting to see how if you agree or disagree with any sort of Corona opinion/thought/"fact" you're immediately polarised in to being aligned with a political party.

    I mean, this is a joke, right? Nobody would impose restrictions such as these, but then give everyone 4 days to get out and about?

    Surely....

    When the US was doing much worse than Europe everyone was saying how it was all due to Trump's incompetence. Now that the US is DONNING Europe, do we credit Trump for it?

    I'd say no because ultimately New York's lockdown worked a treat. 14 deaths statewide yesterday whereas the national picture has 1000+

    It’s weird that the US’s numbers looked more normal the day the White House was made responsible for the numbers not the CDC.

    They're doing it again. "Flights to nowhere". They're selling out, but I really can't see the appeal.

    I mean, I wasn't hoping it would happen, but my first thought upon reading that was "imagine if one of those went down". Imagine dying in a plane crash that involved a 1300 mile round trip to nowhere because you were missing flying. Fucking hell.

    If it was on an open top biplane or something, I could see the appeal. That seems completely ridiculous though.

    Was in the shop earlier and some woman behind me in the queue was standing far too close. Turned around and politely asked her to step back a bit. She went "it's only a metre's distance, chill out!". I looked at the ground between us and said "that's not even a metre" (it was about two feet) and then she replied with "sorry if my spacial awareness isn't up to your standards". Thankfully the queue in front had then moved on a bit and I was able to move forwars and she kep her distance after that.

    Pretty sure it's only 1 metre here if 2m isn't possible and the markers on the floor are 2 metres apart. But the queue was long enough that we were back beyond them at this point.

    Some people are just fucking cunts though. How can you react like that to a polite request to give someone a bit more space?

    I see French and Spanish deaths are there so I'm bringing the pots out ready for Thursday. The economic meltdown is going to be glorious, I'm gonna be like a king cherry-picking the finest youth gash in need of financial security.

    I’ve got abuse twice for wearing a mask in a shop (where they’re supposedly mandatory) in the past week. I’m starting to come around to gun culture.

    My wife is exempt and has been given grief a few times. Luckily there's little I enjoy more than having good reason to cunt someone off, so I embrace it.

    I'm probably exempt and whilst I hate wearing one I'd rather wear one than face the sort of abuse I've read about online.

    Although I've seen a couple of people around here not wearing one and no one has said a thing.

    I can't remember if I mentioned that one of the staff in the little shop near me asked a woman if she could put a mask on and she replied "I don't have to I've got bad legs."

    Oh, well, that clears that right up.

    Most of the time it's just exaggerated huffing and puffing which is easily seen off by returning it.

    Taken from Sky News:

    "France has recorded a further 10,569 new coronavirus infections in the past 24 hours.

    The country's Health Ministry has also reported a further 311 deaths, with the number of people dying with the virus there now standing at 31,585.

    3,894 people were admitted to hospital over the last seven days - 593 in intensive care."

    That doesn't sound good.

    The people you tend not to see wearing them are also its core demographic. Good luck to the fat/old/ethnic bastards.

    Was in Berlin at the start of the week and everyone wore a mask and I do mean everyone - No fat people smoking whilst sitting in a mobility scooter then going in a shop and not putting one on or anything like that. It helps that it’s a fairly spacious city but I personally struggle to see a reason why over there it seems mandatory for everyone but here there are exemptions. The exemptions are what cause the issues by creating grey areas.

    We also went to Brighton when we got back. Popped into Asda on the Friday morning it was absolute fucking carnage. There were people in there getting so close to me I would feel uncomfortable in normal times let alone now.
