    I don't think a vaccine will be the end of it. I think people will just become so desensitised to Covid (alot of us already have) that we'll pretty much just go back to normal and the media/government will stop talking about the deaths.

    I mean, we're already largely back to normal. Just with masks on (that really isn't a big deal you pussies) and with people standing a bit further apart from normal.

    The peak was only 2-3 months ago and half the population have already lost all fear. Give it another 3 months and zero fucks will be given.

    It will be a seesaw between willful ignorance and 'oh shit this is bad' for the foreseeable future. Just like with global warming and racism.

    I saw my first two occasions of people in an MK shop not wearing masks. Both were black lives. The cheek of it to do it in my Waitrose too, I thought they were priced out.

    Lol at the Northern lockdown. Except businesses open as usual. Get the fuck out of here and embrace the deaths already, you cunts.

    as an aside my whiter than white mate called me (mixed race Fam) a racist today for not agreeing that the Black Lives Matter protests are going to change the world. Sorry mate, they ain't. People are protesting because they're bored and it's the closed thing they've had to a festival this summer.

    it could be. But it won't generate the same reaction the first wave did. Lee said that the government had done a good job of creating an atmosphere of fear. Well, they've done an even better job of doing away with it.

    That combined with the the furlough scheme coming to an end will be a nightmare. All the redundancies at once, it's not going to be a nice time at all.

    And it's another reason why the country will carry on despite the deaths.

    Pretty much. It's going to be grim. Really fucking grim. But the Government will crack on with putting local locdowns in place, they'll be ignored and they'll be secretly happy they're being ignored.

    I'll be having it, because whatever me and the Mrs had in January (Flu or Covid) it absolutely floored us and we have no interest in repeating the experience.

    This is where I'm at. Most days I (and the vast majority of us) think we will be fine even if we get it. But then someone goes and posts that study on it affecting your cardiovascular and I flip to "shit, this is scary". I'm so flakey.

    I'm just trying to enjoy myself at the moment because lord only knows if these Asian spikes (South Asians just do not and will not ever follow any kind of rules - drag me to the racism courts) will get us all locked down again in the autumn.

    Re your Leicester comment, my friend works for Coast as a buyer, who were bought out by Boohoo last year. Consequently, they went on a site visit to the Leicester factory back then and raised concerns that it was effectively a sweatshop and the working conditions were grim. All the workers were of ethnic proportion as well.

    Looks like we might be shutting down suburbs depending on covid test results from the fever clinics.

    Fucking cunts.

    QLD Health are now strongly urging the use of face masks in over 10 Shopping Centres.

    We've had 99 confirmed cases in the past 4 days, mostly in Danang, but some escapees to HCMC and Hanoi, too. Danang fully locked-down, here in HCMC: masks in public mandatory, bars & restaurants closed, max 30 gatherings. Temp checks have been reintroduced to most public buildings, too.

    The big difference I noticed was the clarity of communication. I haven't got a fucking clue what's going on in the UK - the message is a mumbled fucktruck of mess. Here, we received an SMS from the Govt stating the new measures and the time they will be implemented (usually midnight at the end of that day). Easy.

    Good range of communities as these 3 woman went all over the place shopping and eating out. Nothing to do with the bogan or ethnic communities atm it is just all fallout from the covid being brought back from Melbourne.

    Might be different in the outer suburbs but I havent seen or heard of any covid based racism yet.

    Plot thickens...



    Queensland police are investigating whether young women at the centre of the state's latest coronavirus controversy were coached by an organised crime syndicate to cover their tracks at the border.

    The ABC understands police are examining whether the trio acted on the instructions of crime syndicate handlers
    Police are investigating the women's alleged involvement in stealing luxury handbags in Sydney
    https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-07-...amily/12507852


    Edit: Popped on Facebook and the usual local leftie suspects have made this a BLM issue for some reason. Apparently it is racist to want these 3 women in jail...

    New lockdown announced in the north of England just hours before Eid al-Adha

    Health Secretary Matt Hancock has been criticised for imposing a new partial lockdown in parts of northern England on the eve of Muslim festival Eid al-Adha. In a statement released on Thursday evening, Hancock said there would be restrictions on family gatherings, starting on Friday. Many have compared the move to preventing people from seeing their loved ones at Christmas.
    Honestly, the interplay between deadly disease and political correctness this year has been the most fascinating aspect of the whole thing.

    I saw her use 'communities of colour' earlier, we're in the end game now.

    Racist thought for the day, after being in a queue there this morning: Chinese people should not be allowed to use the Post Office.

    Prof Chris Whitty adds that the rise in infection rates in several parts of the world is not a "second wave". If people increase the number of people they meet, the virus rate will increase "inevitably", he says.

    It may be necessary to "pull back" from easing restrictions to prevent this, Prof Whitty says.
    How fucking miserable is this? Fuck this shit and all who sail in it.

    Flew with KLM recently. Basically the same but with far fewer people, everyone in masks and not much of the airport shopping open. Otherwise fine

    I mean he's right in terms of the definition. Describing what we're seeing now as a second wave is akin to describing that argument my Gran and Grandad had in 1953 as World War III.

    In terms of restrictions, that's why this is all so shit. This is going to be the way of life for ages now and even if/when a vaccine does come you've got to get people to take it.

    They can close what they like. The fear has gone. Close the pubs and the illegal street parties kick off again. Try stopping people visiting each other and people will carry on anyway.

    It's done lads.

    Absolutely what they wanted anyway though, try for a second lockdown which is roundly flouted then pin them blame for all the deaths on the great unwashed rather than anyone who oversaw it's handling.

    From the never ending BBC Covid news feed.

    New slogan from the PM: "Hands, face, space, get a test”
    What was he, in the process of having a stroke or something when he came out with that?
