[COVID-19] General Discussion

[McTallshort]

We wouldn't know a lockdown was occurring unless we saw it mentioned on TV.
Went to bank yesterday and saw Rymans were open. Lady in bank said it was because of a loophole -something to do with credit union FFS.

Car washes, WH Smith, Argos, CEX the only places shut are pubs and restaurants

 

[ncurd]

CEX should only be open for drop off if your selling something or at least that's what the website claims.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Yep and also it's supposed to be open for click and collect.

 

[Jimcardiff]

we have just come out of a 2 week lock down , not much has changed I still will not go into a pub , but I can now visit my daughters , can't see my grandsons as they live in England , most people who try to rationalise what can and cannot open are in reality trying to get around it , stay home save the nhs

Well, I was a bit worried yesterday when I heard that our president will be adressing the nation 19:00, with many reports that we could go into a stricter lockdown than we have now.

But it turns out, that he just wanted to let the country know that he is worried about the amount of infections in the Eastern Cape, and that people are have parties and not wearing masks.

Also he has announced that International travel is now open, and that we can buy booze like we did prior to lockdown!

While I don't expect the lockdown to end when the government has said, if it DOES:

Is that December 2nd inclusive?
Like does everything reopen on the 2nd or does lockdown end at the end of the 2nd meaning everything opens on the 3rd?

Everywhere goes to Tier 3 some areas might be less.

Y'know how we don't have shielding this lockdown? Well my sister just got a letter from Hancock that basically went '....about that you really should precautions as it you were we are just trying hide the fact you should this time'

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Aye, but when?
On the 2nd or 3rd?

 

[ncurd]

I have no idea, honestly these levels of lockdown make almost no difference to my life.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Fair,
I'm just trying to work out when the gyms open ha,
That's literally the only impact this lockdown has had on my day to day

COVID-19: Sunak declines to rule out return of Eat Out To Help Out

The chancellor told officials that the government would look at a "range of things" to get people "out and about" after lockdown.

Sad milestone passed of 50,000 deaths from COVID.

Were closing in on 225,000 deaths here in America thanks to the selfish super spreader Trumpanzees. Best wishes to you and everyone in the UK.

Approaching 242,000 deaths, unfortunately. But, yes neither of our respective Governments have handled this well.

I got quite wound up / depressed in the lead up to lockdown 2.0 by the sense of the same old mistakes being depeated / doubled down on. This would really take the biscuit.
