Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

Did the bar open early.

Did the bar open early.

It did in our house. A lovely, demi sec white Rioja.

I am not sure 70yr olds will be banned or stopped from resuming golf.
As far as I am aware it’s just advisory and people will be allowed to make their own mind up given the risks involved.

Not saying it will either but it's not beyond the realms of possibility the powers that be say a certain age must self isolate for longer.

 

[MegaSteve]

What do you mean "shut"?

I am taking it to mean closing/fencing off means of entry...
Can't see how that can be achieved easily myself...
Or, let loose a gang of heavies to lay down the law ...

 

[ferenezejohn]

Hey...there is a separate thread for political stuff...or does it only apply to (paranoid) little me ?

Ok I'll take the wrap, it seems I'm paranoid as well

There might be age discrimination issues there. I can see it being "strongly advised," and "in your best interests," but I can't see there being a law that says all 70 year old and/or all in the "at risk group" or forced to stay in.

Sorry Amanda but that is a load of nonsense.
You should see it through our eyes.
BBC Scotland is constantly on the case of the Scottish Government with an ESSENPEE BAD twist to virtually every headline.

PS I don't watch BBC Scotland.

Fencing it off would be a huge job wouldn't it?
No way they could do it next door with the public footpath going through the middle of it. I've been walking round next door daily, caught one muppet hitting balls last night and stopped him, everyone else is just bimbling around.
A couple of kids left their little bikes on a green today, I started to wheel them off to the side and heard the mum shouting from 100 yards away, she thought I was nicking them ?.
By the time they got there I just smiled and said the cut out bits were special areas, if they can stay on the longer grass it would be appreciated, all very friendly.
Haven't seen any other issues.

Haven't been over that way for a few days as we've taken to heading towards Bayhurst Woods... Earlier in the week there were several groups picnicing/sunbathing and could see the occassional glint of a flashing shaft from a swinging club... I suspect the lines of contact to the local councillors have been busy!

 

[Hobbit]

Could the govt make it one of the conditions of being allowed to operate?

I genuinely don't know. If they did I could see it being legally challenged.

When I made the analogy, it was more to point out how different rules for different areas of the country could cause a lot of unrest.
Myself turning 70 next week with two high risk people in the house common sense tells me I'll be treading warily for months to come.
Your point is a valid one.

 

[Hobbit]

Andalucia hospitalisations are down 70%, and ICU intake is down 50% from the peak of the crisis. Daily deaths are below 400, again. A glimmer of hope...

Hope the trend continues.

As of tomorrow, Costa Blanca and the western end of Costa del Sol are opening their beaches to children accompanied by adults.

Turns out my "wobble" on Thursday may be more. Got sent home. Hit me like a freight train when I got in. Sick, upset stomach, and then fought a fever for next 24 hours. Managed to get a test, ironically at Ascot racecourse. Just had a phone call and "inconclusive" so got to go and be retested tomorrow. Been taking paracetamol regularly and fever has reduced but not got dry cough and test tight when I do but hoping that's the strain of throwing up. Blood sugars through the roof too.

Part of me naturally hopes this isn't the virus but it then begs the question what would come on so quickly. One of the main symptoms seems to be sudden onset. Hopefully the test tomorrow will confirm one way or another Been sleeping on and off since Thursday afternoon but thinking may be dehydrated which accounts for the spike in bloods. Any which way not feeling tickety boo but managed to get up and eat a little

Very best wishes for a speedy recovery whatever it may be.

And breath mate, staying calm and positive is essential as you would know as is having a chat with someone.
