[COVID-19] General Discussion

[Bada-Bing!]

Walked past Wenzels this morning. Chav, who was shirtless and maskless, was only customer in there getting served by lady behind Persplex glass barrier and wearing face shield. Few smaller shops will enforce mask wearing if it affects their business. But then I suppose why should they and if it causes too much grief.

The shirtless thing of course was pretty classy.

Well at least we're reacting, sister is pretty peeved shielding was supposed to end tommorow.

I only started working again this week, after testing positive 3 weeks ago. 3 days of feeling REALLY sick, after that same as common cold. And my taste and smell still not back 100%. Taking into consideration that I am diabetic also, I dodged a bullet big time me thinks.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

And now mandatory mask wearing to apply to all public indoor settings in England from 8 August.

Presumably that means in restaurants and pubs? That'll really **** up Rishi's meal deal in August.

Glad you're OK.

My in-laws tested positive just yesterday, they live in PMB. My Mother-in-law is feeling very bad, her throat and ears are the worst and she says she struggles to stand up.

Hein, best thing is to drink lots of vits, lots of water, anything to give you a boost. We drank ginger tea with honey and lemon juice....no it's not an old people cure, it's just an energy boost...but it made a difference to 4 people in my house that tested positive. If it moves to your lungs it's hospital time, luckily we al got away easy.

What are the latest rules for face coverings and masks?

Rules around face coverings are easing across the UK but they are still required in some settings.

Looks like initial sky news report I read was not correct. Face masks extended to Museums, galleries and Cinemas.

It may be mentioned elsewhere - but that brief doesn't mention a delay to the end of shielding - though of course, not everyone has the same shielding end-date anyway

Kushner's coronavirus team shied away from a national strategy, believing that the virus was hitting Democratic states hardest and that they could blame governors, report says

Some members of Kushner's COVID-19 team thought it was better to leave Democratic-voting areas to fend for themselves, a source told Vanity Fair.

www.businessinsider.com

Report suggests that Kushners Covid team (why the **** was he heading that up anyway!?) intentionally decided to not push forward with a national plan after discovering Democrat states were being hit hardest. If true that goes beyond partisanship, that is outright ******* evil.

Wouldn't surprise me if it did. He has no qualifications to work as an advisor to Trump. Sheer Cronyism on the basis of Nepotism.
