    7 deaths in Scotland reported so basically 7 since Saturday. Jesus. I’ve also just realised beer gardens can open in phase 2 which should start next Thursday.

    The wee dyke better not bottle this.

    She's already bottled it saying that nothing will change until the 18th. She's mentally ill.

    Was up in the O&G estates in THE DEEN today, fucking hell it was absolutely desolate. Entire industry decimated.

    Well I wasn’t expecting anything to change until this ‘phase’ me was over anyway. Pubs in Edinburgh might be best bet for a piss up.

    Everyone is working from home.

    Offices pretty redundant.

    You’re not wrong though. House prices in Aberdeen are going to collapse (again). If I still have a job, could get a bargain in the next 6 months.

    That's pretty good.

    I see they're talking of Nightingale schools now which presumably is the only way you're going to get the schools open short of getting them in on a shift rota. Get the fucking little cunts injected with the virus and locked into a 14 day camp, you limp-wristed fuckwits.

    It's now 21 US states showing a spike. Mass gatherings like weddings and funerals are being considered a factor. That's before whatever backlash from the protests hit.

    If I get another month off because crusties in Bristol binned a statue of someone nobody had heard of then I might have to re-evaluate them. Perhaps baling twine as a dog lead was the answer all along.

    Also managed to hide the "track and trace" fiasco being "live" but not live. My friend has been working track and trace for a fortnight and not been given a single name to call for Ł200 a shift.

    I reckon when Cummings went to Barnard Castle, the real purpose of his trip was to visit a time travel porthole, go back to 1670 and tell Edward Colston to get involved in the slave game. 24D chess.

    Immunity passports seem back on trend. Those coronavirus parties sound like a good excuse for debauchery

    Release the antibody tests already ffs. I was waiting for that but I may phone GP this week and arrange a visit regardless as I'm past day 100 of anosmia with little sign of improvement.

    Welfare by stealth.

    This is an incredibly wasteful government considering how much they imposed austerity on the populace.

    This government hasn't done austerity and has no interest in it. Pre-covid they were all about building stairs to the moon and introducing fire in Yorkshire. Post-covid they have bailed everyone out in a way many Conservatives would hate.

    The Cameron lot trying to cut costs, yeah.

    Especially as the lockdown we did do had no border control to it. Seems that most of the infections we picked up in the initial stages were from Spain, France and Italy.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-52993734

    Almost none of it from China, it seems.

    We're lifting all covid-related restrictions from June 20th.



    None of you cunts are welcome though, sorry.

    Widespread John Arne level of smugness, our head honcho is going on about 'leading the world' right now.

    I was evidently mistaken when I said PM of New Zealand was the easiest world leader job going.

    Boris is coming under ferocious pressure to reduce the 2m social distancing to 1m, god bless 'the scientists' and their wheel of fortune public health policy.

    It really is magnificent nonsense.

    My parents can see me indoors, but only because I'm single - my partnered up brother and my married sister will have to wait in the garden.

    However, if my mum stays at home, the rest of us can all go for a game of basketball.

    It's basically done, yet we're somehow managing to fist the unravelling of it all as well.

    And what the fuck is with "here's a nice thing you can now do, but you can't do it immediately, you need to wait for an arbitrary amount of time before you can" seemingly being the approach to all of the rules being relaxed.

    Seriously, what is the logic behind it? Why does our approach to this and most of what our scientific advisers say make no sense at all? Is it some form of experiment?

    Absolute joke.

    The civil service (and Twitter, actually) is set up to view the world as a series of evidence-based transactions, rather than as a place where people just do what feels right for them right now.

    The panic stage feels a long, long time ago.

    Apparently our parent organisation is functioning 'normally', that is to say meeting all of its legal requirements, with three quarters of its staff still sitting at home. That is the sort of thing people need to be thinking about not having the balls to get things back to normality.

    I meant the amount of melts they've managed to convince to isolate but that stat they quoted caught my ear too. He said it was to do with an ONS study, I'll have a look at it tonight but that seemed very off and cause to OPEN THE FUCKING BEER GARDENS if that's true.
