Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

Went to me local butchers yesterday to get me usual supplies of his finest sausages. Christmas like queue outside. Looked like they were only allowing two people inside at a time. Very sensible. BUT. The stupid people queuing were stood together like sardines in a tin. Didn't bother.

my brother does MOT testing in Germany and he is classed as system relevant (key worker) for the time being.
No idea what happen when they go into full lock down, possibly later today.
 
Some clown has just had a go at me for still allowing separation golf and competitions with all the current health restrictions in place. And he was standing so close to his mate at the time, the two of them could have been an item. Thankfully everyone knows he's a plank so six months self-isolation would be paid for by the rest of the membership.

I think he's correct however everyone is welcome to make their own choices.

The more hirsute forumers may be wondering about hairstyle QC
Some may have partners whose life-long ambition is to have a go
Their supporting credentials may include 'i've been to the hairdressers often enough - I've watched how they do it"
DO not be fooled - charlatans can exist close to home
Sadly its too late for me - I implore you - Please learn from Italy - just say no!

Fair warning as there is a lot of potty mouth language. But very funny for anyone who has seen The Irishman.

Just read the comments in that.
‘’Think I must be the only one who thought it was poor :ROFLMAO:

Pacino was alright. De Nero mannerisms pretty good. But if I’d simply listened I’d. Ever have guessed who he was impersonating.
 
Numbers just announced for the new cases confirmed in Andalucia.

Thursday 279
Friday 228
Saturday 210

Too early to say things are improving significantly. Bear in mind a lot of Andalucia is sparely populated once you get away from the likes of Sevilla, Malaga and Granada. They are is still suffering climbing new numbers.

Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia are also still seeing climbing new numbers, not helped by poor adherence to the lockdown up north.
 
Lovely weather not helping, just back from Belus Woods with the dog, the country park bit which I avoid has a play park... Yup absolutely packed. Kids and parents all sitting around playing, chatting, eating.
Shame it’s not pouring down, would really keep people at home.
 
Went for a walk with wife and kids this morning on the hills,made sure we kept well away from people.
It was very busy though looks like everyone had the same idea.
Just went down the local field by the Astro to have a kick around with the boy it’s 150 yards from the house.
3 other lads using the goal so we kept well away.
However on the Astro 20 lads in their 20s and 30s playing together.
Now I understand there’s not a law prohibiting this yet just the general guidelines but did it make my blood boil.
Maybe I’m wrong but all the things I’ve heard are keep out of groups of 5 or more unless immediate family.
 
Me and Mrs went for a walk into Town Centre - we live in town so a short walk. Very quiet and everyone maintains good separation. Town centre Supmarkets almost empty and well stocked with pretty much everything except fresh meat and chicken and toilet roll. And that’s us now indoors for as long as it takes.

well you say that......

(and just to be clear this is no judgement on whatever was being discussed, just more of a general observation that trusting the public to make their own choices for the well being of everyone doesn't seem to be working too well at the moment).
 
Reading these posts and reading the latest from the Government, which I believe is from Housing sec Jenrick, there seems a mixed message.
Social distancing is necessary. Agreed. Unless it is necessary to go out-work etc.
But are we to remain at home unless the trip is necessary?
It would seem so, but then it suggests it is ok to go out for walks, exercise.(sic).
Driving therefore to go to the walks is or is not favoured? I can see the argument that you risk undoing all if an accident occurs.
Which means all golf should stop, even single or couple playing?

Seeing what people are doing I can see lock down being imminent.

Just deleted Twitter from my phone. Too much horsepoo on there. Not worth giving it the time of day

And my car needs an Mot on Friday. I wonder whether that is a must do or can it wait?

Twas always the way though. What about reviewing who you follow? Admit it can get a bit echo chambery if you do that, but there is some good stuff on there if you block the nut jobs.
