Social distancing beers in the park is a contradiction in terms, surely?

2m distance in a group of less than 5.
That does sound batshit. If you're going to the trouble of making a public show of your unnecesary socialising, why not just stop being melts and do it properly without the gay rules?
Stock in Waitrose was fine, even came out flexxin hard with bog roll, drip drip.
Our lockdown has been going on 3-4 times as long as yours so we don't have to be as strict. Going to each others houses would require public transport so meeting in the middle.
Deciding whose social distancing is appropriate or isn't really could be a fun game show.
Anyone up for some socially distanced informal lagers?
Got stopped 3 times by the cops today in a 90km drive.
"Jack Grealish has said he is “deeply embarrassed” after he “stupidly agreed” to go to a friend’s house this weekend during the coronavirus lockdown."
It's absolutely mental that he's apologising for breaking lockdown rather than driving so drunk he crashed into multiple cars.
Well one leads to criminal culpability - drink driving - the other doesn't.
Yea I doubt he can get rung up for drink driving now considering he wasn't arrested at the scene, surely?
You can still get done, just ask Jordan Ibe.
In other news this is why all this authoritarian shit is a dangerous business. Give the sort of dickheads that infest most 'enforcement agencies' a millionth of an inch and they'll take the piss.
I'm fed up of this shit now, getting arse fucked with a shapeshifting plan that is supposed to be the 'solution' so grind out an unreal amount of hours delivering it only for another majorly changed plan to surface right after. I thought working from home would be a laugh but the reality is my chances of an aneurysm have tripled.
I can only imagine what various backwater police forces are up to. This is it, their ticket to fleeting relevance, they've got to make the most of it.
There will be people that go on about social distancing and scream at people in shops for fucking years after this as well.
I saw two bicycle police talking to a man and what I assume were his two kids kicking a ball about in the park. I'd love to get all My Cousin Vinny on them whoppers.
'Is it *possible* that my "one form of exercise a day"...'
Warrington Police had a cracker earlier, making shit up as they go along:
These Police accounts where the aim of the job is to get maximum engagement is genuinely detrimental to society imo.
Grealish out with Ross McCormack of all people.
His career ended well, Jack
Oh by the way, get on Jim Corr's twitter. Proper Konspiracy Kiko krazy.
Got to his feed and saw this and decided not to even bother looking.
As in the guy from The Corrs?
Is he a religious nut?
The Man Corr, call him by his name.
What a Mancorr.
An Staten Island amazon factory worker got press after several people joined him in a strike action against Amazon due to a lack of hazard pay, sick leave and regulations when it came to safety around COVID including several workers turning up Visibly sick and not asked to leave.
He was fired 12 hours later for not adhering to social distancing guidelines
A quick browse through reveals it to be quite a strange Twitter account in general.
Alright mate
Went to Tesco at 9 pm for my usual reload. It was surprisingly busy considering it shut in an hour. They had a few bags of rice and a ton of toilet paper. Most of the women I now meet are the late-night shoppers in the 24-hour superstore. I shot for a number and got rejected. They are still out there lads.
I keep hearing this and it's fucking stupid.
OH NOES, DON'T KILL OUR OLD AND VULNERABLE. HOW WILL WE GET ANYTHING DONE?!
I could atleast understand the 'theory' if it was Spanish Flu going round again, because that affected young adults more. It'd still be mental, but at least you could point to a motive.
Aye.
Here we are the west, we'e developed the perfect solution to your crippling problems with the elderly. Mwahahahaha!
A full 15-day national lockdown will be put in place as of midnight tonight. Vietnams PM instructed all citizens stay indoors and only go out for basic necessities and if they are key workers, observe a 2-metre distancing. Groups of more than two are not allowed. Booooooring.
I'm so confused about our strategy. So far things are sort of coming along here.
But I'm wondering if we are just going to see a complete explosion of ICU-admissions in like one week.
Aren't you pretty much doing what we did?
Motivation to work is dwindling day by day. I spend my mornings on chaturbate and researching mouse moving software.
The furloughing cull has begun
Axe falling everywhere, including a couple of entire departments, but I believe I am safe, at least from being furloughed, if not from the virus.
The '10 hours of silence' vids on youtube are what you want.
Pretty much. But I think the difference here is people are mostly listening to the advice from the government, whereas what I heard was when they initially told people to stay away from each other in Fracne and the UK everyone did fuck all and just went about their business as usual.
Bars and retail stores are dead empty, noone is in their office and because everyone are working from home people spread out their shopping and errands over the day. People shop for their elderly neighbours (or stores have dedicated times for them early morning) etc. A lot of people are out walking but never really enough that it gets crowded.
But its hard to say whether its enough. Tho the strategy i definitely think is herd immunity, just dragging it out enough that healthcare can cope. I think that Imperial college death calculation had factored in 50% of people not following the "rules" so i think the main difference here is the government are expecting swedes to follow guidelines much more than that.
Its essentially trying to create a social stigma for doing all the fun stuff - very swedish.
We've managed a +1 for the global tally.
Comorbidities I believe, possibly from a care home as it seems to have wheedled its way into one of those in the last few days.
That would all make sense if we weren't such fucking pansies that shat ourselves for our Doris' and sent our entire economies down the drain for them.
Everyone in my team furloughed except me, as a result of which I now have to come into the office every day.
These are strange times indeed.
He told the boss what to do and this is his punishment.
Real talk.This is a full and frank message. Please forward to the rest of the family, and your loved ones if you choose.
I had a meeting today with our Medical Director, who has been in touch with government. The following therefore has some authority.
By the weekend, London will be in full lockdown, with Army manned checkpoints. Only key workers, NHS staff, police, ambulance, fire, delivery drivers, and teachers looking after the children of the above, will be allowed to move around the city.
By next week, those restrictions will apply to the country.
Tonight Lewisham Hospital is overwhelmed, ambulances on divert, and only a few ventilators left. QEH is close behind. My Trust is in the frontline of this epidemic, mainly due to local demographics. The rest of the NHS is probably little more than a week behind. We have denied critical care to four patients today, who will die as a result.
I must now be clear. Anyone over 75 years old will be denied critical care; anyone over 65 with diseases, eg diabetes, COPD, will be denied critical care. We are ramping up palliative care services. If an elderly patient falls sick, and requires hospital care, there will be an immediate DNAR order on them. They will be palliated, and they will live or die. The government forecast of 250,000 deaths is, we believe, hopelessly optimistic.
The mortality rate is very high in the elderly. The ICU stay on a ventilator even in survivors is about three weeks. We will run out of ventilators in a week.
The Army is setting up field hospitals, no doubt with squaddies manually bagging patients.
You will not hear this from Boris Johnson for a few days. But please be assured it is coming. We are two weeks behind Italy.
For the family therefore, anyone over 65 is to self isolate, possibly for many weeks. Maintain contact through frequent video calls. If they need food or supplies, take them over and leave the bags on the doorstep, and wave at them from at least a six foot distance. They are not to touch the bags for 15 minutes. Do not visit for 14 days if you or anyone in your household is unwell with and fever, cough or 'flu like symptoms. If you are unwell, stay indoors, along with your whole family. Have a neighbour or a friend drop off supplies, with no social contact.
We need to blunt the curve, which is right now exponentially rising.
For myself, you cannot imagine the stress we are under. The awful decisions we will have to make. We will be taking otherise healthy 60 year olds off a ventilator to die so we can save a 30 year old.
Please stay safe. I'll message when I can with news from the frontline.
With much love to you all.
Sounds like bollocks. The DNAR stuff sounds like a red flag.
