The only person I've seen is my Cousin's wife.
She's a carer for my sister and she'll cook meals for her which I'll pick up. I stay in my car, she puts the meals in the back and we also chat a little bit.
When dropping stuff off at my sister's I'll either leave it outside of her flat door or she'll go in her bedroom and I'll put the bags in the kitchen but not touch anything else.
Brazil's an interesting one as their death toll gets ever more horrific.
Given their president dismissed the whole thing I'm surprised he isn't suppressing the numbers (more).
Bolsonaro's probably been the worst leader in the entire world on this.
Not overly, no. Over here the sole focus is on Vietnam and how we are dealing with it. I imagine that's a similar story in most countries.Originally Posted by Yevrah
When everything is over, and the final numbers are known, I think that's when the focus will shift to those countries that screwed this up.
No, but it's sunny, we've been in lockdown two months, the virus is barely going round outside care homes, and people are just giving up.
And yet the government stick with 'people are overwhelmingly sticking to the rules'.
Half of them don't even know what the rules are anymore lads.
Why would it be? Why would anyone give a fuck? Presumably in the world where they do said people are too busy lolling their tits off at Belgium. If this has taught us anything* it's that the world is parochial. Screw thy neighbour we need the PPE for us!
*actually, the main takeaway for me from all this is that it has shone a light on the fact that a fair few people I know (mostly casually) and have previously assumed are relatively normal people are full on Bill Gates PLANdemic tinfoil hat nutters.
I think it's just a by product of that mong opening his mouth rather than any actual figures.
They probably are. I have. We just notice the ones who aren't.
Most people are sticking to it, a sizable minority aren't. Not that I particularly care anymore, but it's just another example of complete impotence from our dear leader and his Scientific Misadvisors.
Things definitely could have been laid out clearer, but cretins will cretin and unless you're going to go the whole hog and go Stasi on them then there's fuck all you can do really.
I'd be happy with them just acknowledging that it's happening and having something to say about it, rather than just pretending it isn't happening.
The people of this country aren't particularly keen on doing what they're told, that's true, but you know that couple that sit by the pool sun bathing whilst their shitty kids run riot and ruin everyone else's holiday? Yeah...
I think shrill chastising of people succumbing to the human temptation to go and have a non-miserable day would be pretty awful messaging from the government.
If Boris walked in today and told the wankers off, they'd probably double down on being wankers.
I bet Tiger tastes shit.An Indonesian zoo has said it may have to resort to slaughtering some of its animals to feed others, according to a Reuters report.

Look all these pictures of crowds etc, they haven't resulted in MASSIVE localised death tolls lik everyone has claimed. So what's the fucking problem? Open the lot up.
You can remark on an increase of people ignoring the rules and repeat them to ensure clarity without being shrill.
Again, not that I particularly care. The rules are stupid anyway. But if you put rules in place, then atleast give the appearance that you're taking them seriously yourself.
I suspect it's probably the case that they are well aware that the rules are mostly a waste of time, which is why they don't really care about people breaking them. The concern is that if they were to strip things back to just the rules that actually need following, then people would break those too and we'd be in a bit of trouble.
Exactly. Given that we aren't a police state, we don't remotely have the capacity to enforce such rules, so the way they have done it is set rules that most people will follow and if some people don't then whatever.
My neighbours have been having family/friends over for weeks (dating well back into 'full lockdown'), and the only way they would stop would be if several police officers came and physically dragged them out. Is it healthy to do that? Is it fuck.
Apparently the government will be publishing a review into the heightened impact on BAMEs in the healthcare sector next week. All that would be quite entertaining to see it come out with some 'white is right' conclusions and allow us Aryans to watch the seethe.
I read something suggesting that Vitamin D levels are the biggest indicator of whether you get seriously ill from this, and black folk in a cold climate have the lowest Vitamin D levels of anyone on earth.
They're talking about 'low levels of T-Cells' being a key contributor now, and we already have a medication that boosts them. Promising.
I don’t really care whether the government are constantly referring to people breaking lockdown, just have some rules in place that make sense and fucking update them when they’re no longer needed to be as robust.
The three weeks incubation feels a bit on the long side, I have to say. Three weeks is a longer time in people's lives than it is to a wonk in an office somewhere.
yeah man, this stuff is so deeply ingrained which you don't usually see. The youtube videos are so bloody convincing to be fair...
I had the entire senior management of my company sending round viral clips claiming it was a Chinese conspiracy.
WELL, PRESIDENT SO CALLED XI HASN'T HAD THE VIRUS, HAS HE?? BIT OF A COINCIDENCE, ISN'T IT??!?!?!?
As a youtube survivor, it's incredible to see how many people are so taken in by this. On one hand, the government are massively incompetent yet on the other, Rothschild and co are secretly puppet mastering everything to be perfect for them.
I'd completely forgotten about Conspiracy Kiko.
This came up in another thread but nobody ever told me what bonkers conspiracies he was buying into.
I'm sure I've told my story on here of how a David Icke-believed on a train from Glasgow one day ended up offering me a drink and calling me Gandalf.
Operation Blackjack was what got him started.
Schools going back full time from June 8th and I can get a haircut as of a week on Saturday.
Thank the fucking lord.
That is some freaky recall.
*googles it*
These last few months have been straight out of its playbook.
I have a mate who's about two months into the Konspiracy Kiko Korrespondence Kourse for budding nutters. It's incredibly entertaining when he does thing like wonder aloud why those little masks are considered sufficient to protect against viruses but firefighters have to wear all the gear they do before entering a dangerous room.
The KKKK is a catchy name for it.
Burning Epidemiologists on crosses.
Not even a real science.
Nice to see the daily cases rise in time for the bank holiday.
Should I check the conspiracies out? The problem with youtube in general is how those services have managed to cultivate personality cults. It's perfect for Loose Change, The Ripple Effect, Paul is Dead, etc videos.
Yeah, Concorde 2. The nudist beach is in between the marina and the volleyball opposite Concorde, which is the rough area I meant. Is Dukes Mound the place that looks ridiculously extravagant for homeless people?
Is anyone wearing a mask when they go to the shops or whatever?
If so, what type and where did you get them?
Interested in this query.
I am not and have no intention of doing so but interested in who’s cautious.
I don't even wash my hands when I get in now.
I wear one, and gloves, in every shop I go into and on every customer site while I’m there. I got a few washable ones and the rest are collected up from customers who would give you 10 or 20 disposable ones if you asked.
I sanitise on the way into the shop, sanitise when I get home, and spray down anything I bought with an alcohol spray.
I have not at all.
I have 10 Chinese ones from work, but I'm saving them in case we are forced to wear them at some point in the covid prevention measures sweepstakes which, I see, have just introduced airport quarantines.
I have gloved but not masked.
I have the Financial Fair Play 3 mask
I'm going to get some for public transport. Seeing the Texan Congressman using a bandana gives me ideas, mind.
I don't have any but want to get some. I don't know what type is best or where is best is best to get them though.
Although it's probably kind of useless if everyone doesn't wear them in shops and stuff.
I feel like they should be mandatory.
I've found that cunts in masks are the ones who break distancing measures at shops.
I'd say mandatory in enclosed spaces like public transport. Problem with that is you invariably have to remove them to eat and drink.
