I can't think of anything that would make me seethe more than that.

It's possible I'm being dumb, but none of this makes any sense to me, at all. We don't even know if kids spread it for fuck's sake. Just get onto one of the countries with a dodgy human right's record and ask them before bringing in bollocks like this.
Someone at some point is going to have to come out and say we're stuck with this and we need to live with it. These are the things you can do to mitigate your risk of catching and spreading it and we encourage you to do those, but that aside we're open for business (and fun) again.
The end game is a twice-weekly clap for the behavioural scientists.
Peter Hitchens must be apoplectic by this point.
Nicola sturgeon may never open scotland up again.
RIP pubs and gyms.
At some point they’ll just flip and either close down completely or open anyway.
One of my local gyms up north seems to be doing something similar, just opening for a few hours and allowing members to come and “say hello”.
I'm having a beer in a restaurant. This is amazing.
It's pretty much the one strange thing about this virus that it doesn't seem to impact the young.
Same can't be said about the parents.
Yes it does?
True, and it's not like the school run gives parents enough time to mingle. I'd sooner shut the pubs.
Catch it, don't catch it. Enjoy your divvy kids leaving school at nineteen as half-retards.
Anyone prioritising going to the pub over children gaining an education is a bit of a dick. Not that I'm saying I think it's a sensible strategy.
Especially when you've got #cans
Grim.

Kids do catch it, but it does seem to be true they are less likely to transmit it. Most who catch it aren't very unwell with it - even less so than the standard respiratory viruses which do the rounds based on what we saw - but there's a recognised entity called PIMSTS which a few get which makes them VERY unwell. We had one kid with it before it was known to be a thing and he was scary unwell but survived.
The fact kids aren't that unwell with it might be why they transmit it less.
Was in hospital for a bike accident yesterday. A few grazes so doctor wanted to give me a Tetanus booster and my intoxicated mind kicked into anti-vaxxer mode and I politely declined
They've probs hooked up the aircon with the virus so futile, really.
If you were out in a bike drink or high they probably should have just euthanised you there and then.
Note this was just a pushbike so not sure you can get so moralistic but I'm a keen drink driver outside of summer so sentiment is well-placed.
I meant pushbike. As if you were on a motorbike
Be pretty hard to harm someone else on a pushbike accident, I'd imagine. And the non-urgent A&E was fairly dead last night so the nurse was probs just buzzin to get to clean the wounds of an adonis.
You could easily seriously harm a pedestrian riding a push bike drunk.
Or cause a vehicle accident. Even more so than cyclists normally do.
Always searching for the next buzz. It'll end in tears.
Aberdeen bar COVID case on the bbc website.
Fuck off.
This better not result in any increased restrictions.
If it is about to take off on the other side of the world then I think I speak for everyone in wanting to see New Zealand get absolutely clobbered by it.
28 days 'til I go away. Not going to happen, is it?
My concern level is zero.
There’s some absolute roasters whinging about though as expected and I’m concerned that safety first sturgeon will jump on it.
BoJo looking at locking down the over 50's and the vulnerable and letting the rest of us get on with it, apparently.
About time. I said that about 2 months ago. SpikeyYevrah.
We can't continue on opening and closing shit until a vaccine turns up or the virus loses its efficacy, so I welcome that plan. 50 seems young though.
So ... the shielded lot again, probably. It's a numbers game so you can probably tweak things in the interim. Even if we all go back to queuing for shopping or whatever.
Shielding sounds good, not sure why no one thought of it.
Throw in a bit of distancing and extra hygiene measures.
Over 50’s should stop paying tax then if they’re deemed that pointless.
Or just wait to see how Russia's vaccination programme goes. If they don't start having heart attacks it means our research was bang on.
They're not pointless, they're at risk. But why the fuck are we stopping everyone from doing anything when it's not particularly dangerous to the under 50's?
We don't treat any other disease this way. We protect the vulnerable and everyone else cracks on. It's just unfortunate in this instance that the only form of protection we can give is to keep away from them.
Was it your nut allergy earlier Spikey? It's bang on whoever it was.
My cousin would likely die if he ate some and couldn't get his shot, but it doesn't mean I'm not allowed to eat them.
Throwing your analogy in the bin is the fact that they’re literally banned from airplanes when someone with a nut allergy is on board. We all on that same airplane.
Yes, but we're still allowed to eat them when there's not someone vulnerable about.
Analogy stands and you're wrong. Again.
In this case the feeble peanut nonce wouldn't get on the plane.
If they don't bring a pack of KP's finest to seat 32B by the end of summer, there's gonna be some towers going down.
