Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

I have been banned from golf by HID, then she said she needed to go to the school to pick up books and PE kit. So I said no, that was worse than the golf course. So those bags stayed at school.
Home schooling seemed to go okay. I need to find some stuff to do I raked and re sowed some front lawn.. but I have limited supplies and won’t be ordering any more.

This afternoon's Downing St Daily Briefing cancelled due to a COBRA meeting currently taking place. Just a guess but suspect they may be debating lock down measures that will be incoming very soon.

8.30 PM announcement. Lockdown?

Commuter trains packed again today, every local authority judging essential worker criteria separately, needs some joined up thinking.
Hate to think where we'll be in 2 weeks given attitudes to covid19.

I can't see it being full lockdown for everyone tonight, maybe a transitional move first to see how it goes.

Don’t care whether you agree or not, we are all entitled to our own opinion.

Brought up with pets, owned pets etc, one of the worst things I’ve been through was holding my dog when she had to be put down, but IMO, no pet should be put before a human.(y)

We’ve seen examples near the coast were dog owners have lost their lives trying to save their pet, absolutely stupid and a waste of a life.

And with attitudes like that are why quite frankly I couldn’t give two hoots if Mother Nature and covid gave us the clean sweep! What selfish self centred Neanderthals we are.
 
When first read the Macdonald's announcement, with a delay before shutting, I did wonder if the intention was to create some demand and clear the perishable stock.

Hopefully once all the neanderthals are gone we can train the pets to be bread winners for families etc:rolleyes:

Get over yourself, not once have I suggested harming or allowing a pet to suffer. Just putting a humans life above them.

Maybe you should ask the RSPCA if all pet owners are responsible people.

I'd put my dog before many humans I can think of.

90’000 people in Spain have been fined.
So a lockdown isn’t working.
I would say in the UK there would be more , if we had the police to enforce it

Oh me sides... :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: …. you're killing me... :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

I was out on Thursday for shopping. 99% of the cars only had one person in it, as per the regs. I saw about 10% of the cars I would normally see. The supermarket had about a dozen in the queue to go in, and 10 people inside. Maybe 30 cars in the car park, including those owned by the staff.

90,000 idiots, plus a number that won't have been caught. 54,000,000 that are behaving themselves. How many ways do you want to keep trying to justify your stance on this? You'll convince some, who probably haven't changed their mind anyway, but 99% of people are being responsible.

Remember, every time you see a crowd of 100 people, there's thousands of people sat at home doing the right thing.

My stance is we have conflicting advice.
The guy in charge needs to make his mind up .
Lock it down or stop moaning people are doing what his ministers tell us ( Matt Hancock) go out for some fresh air for your mental health.
He can’t have it both ways so lockdown is prob on its way .
That’s not a problem for me .
But my daughter teaching the kids of NHS workers is going to put me in the virus way sooner or later as I won’t be able to leave the house.
If she brings it home!!
 
There’s one particular moron that I keep on social media as a reminder of how

We’ll almost all be exposed to it at some point, that can’t be helped unless we do find a vaccine quickly which is unlikely. We can only limit our interactions as much as we can to buy us time.

You've latched on to what you want to hear. Boris and a number of other ministers have all said the same thing time and again. Did it not occur to you that Hancock got it wrong?

Yes I agree it’s odds on we will.
My point was
Boris is telling us to stay home please.
Matt Hancock is telling us to go out for our mental health and fitness.
It’s no wonder people are asking questions.

But will a lockdown be taken as a challenge to lots of activists in the U.K. ?
My opinion is it will be!

Yes of course but he’s not the only one.
So called experts are giving the same conflicting advice.
If you give people a choice you can’t be surprised if some choose the one you oppose.
That choice needs to be locked down imo.
But I have a feeling people will ignore a lockdown order here anyway.
