    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.

    This is completely conciliatory and a waste of fucking bandwidth.

    I can’t believe schools are gonna open “as normal” (letting all kids in) in four weeks.

    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”.

    Mine is open at stupid hours, the good stuff is shut off, and you have to book an hour slot on the day. Alright, it's on a military base, so an outbreak there is worse than outside; but in that case why open it at all?

    True, and it's not like the school run gives parents enough time to mingle. I'd sooner shut the pubs.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    "Millions of over 50's" was the phrasing, so I'm assuming there's some further qualifiers.

    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.

    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.
