    Well yes them, since covid doesn't act like any other mild virus or cold, but also the ones who died of or were extremely unwell with PIMSTS despite being previously fit and well.

    Yes, the vulnerable children who've been out of school are a concern, but I can personally attest to the enormous amount of work schools have been doing to keep up contact and support them as best as possible.

    Magic falling back on "They would've died anyway." is kind of dumb when this is a new thing that largely hit us outside flu season and has no seasonality.

    Ok so cool, but we didn't care before?

    And through an online medium that they won't have access to. Yep top work. There are always winners and losers in any situation that calls for action, and the irony here is that by not protecting our vulnerable and weak, we've fucking screwed our vulnerable and weak.

    The mask laws now are virtue signalling at best.

    I didn't say that, I said they'd have died anyway if they'd have caught anything, not just Corona.

    No, not through the online platform. I live with a SENCO and directly deal with the fallout for these kids, arguing with someone as ignorant as you is pointless.

    I'm not on about disabled kids RL.

    However, I am on a course with several social care workers, and they said FIRST HAND years and years of hard work had been reset to zero pretty much overnight.

    I think Jim's point is a valid one. People will be far less likely to visit the high street if a mask is required in every venue.

    What I'm glad about is that I nicked a load of masks from work all the way back in March to cover for this eventuality, so I won't have to get any from the profiteering corner shop crooks.

    You'll only ever need one mask, unless it breaks no need to replace. Remember they aren't to protect you.

    Is this 120,000 figure a running total?

    I don't think so. The graph they trot out shows a peak as high as the one we've been through but much more prolonged. Given that we've had something like 60k already, this could potentially be 120,000 in a separated peak. This is all weird though as they usually have big margins of error. Worst case scenario has 250,000 which sounds a lot like what they predicted about the first wave. It's been reported with the number being the story because... well, numbers!

    I don't see it being anywhere near as bad but coughs and sneezes spread diseases. The face covering stuff is way late in the day but it should take the edge off whatever cold and flu season we wind up having.

    The full report for cleverer people than me.

    180K cull of the weak should do a lot of good from a resource POV on the NHS and social care system. Really thought people had dropped their sensitivities to this but this morning's mass vaginal bleeding in here clearly shows there's a long way to go. The ultimate goal should be not for people to treat it as the flu but rather cancer, mitigate major risks through these public policies, leave the rest to individual responsibility and not fucking cry tears for the 200K nobodies who get taken away by it.

    Do we just try and carry on as best we can through a second wave? That is genuinely terrifying.

    I went to Fort and Woodlands last Monday and it was great. Booked Bell Tree for 4.30 on Friday as their beer garden is good and decent pints. Not sure what pubs are opening in town as not all Greene King pubs are opening until nearer end of month

    Aye think it's towards end of the month. £1.29 and there will be no mongals there apparently as they are avoiding due to their politics.

    His splurge of goodies on Bastille Day is very Johnson-esque. Tax cut for young graduates! He's like a 20 years late Blair but without the substance.

    Peter Hitchens fully committing to calling them 'muzzles' instead of masks really is splendid dedication to the cause.

    He clearly started wearing a gas mask on the train expecting the rule to be ditched at some point, and now he's worked himself into a shoot.

    Yeah, a lot of my social circle are like that. I wouldn’t normally to into a Wetherspoons but Jollys is absolutely brilliant other than a few of the usual Spoons suspects

    Depends on the Wetherspoons. There's two in Durham centre and the clientele is wildly different.

    I would normally agree but they have the best pints and as I say, really doesn’t come across as a Wetherspoons other than noticing their horrific plates. Wouldn’t ever eat in there mind

    Nah not with that cunt owning it. I normally wouldn’t have much sympathy for people who end up in those jobs but him and Pat McDonagh are two absolute cretins and will never get a penny off me.

    33 new cases here today. That’s the restaurants taking effect. Another good number tomorrow and it’ll hopefully stop the pubs opening next week and force them to do something about forcing visitors to quarantine.
