Coronavirus

Read today some pub landlords are texting regulars to arrange illicit meet-ups behind closed curtains to sell leftover beer FFS.

Quoted from Hagrid

I recieved text tonight from NHS stating i was high risk and minimum self isolation of 12 weeks with no contact within 3 foot of anyone. Have been isolating but its just made it more real for me. Be lying if i said i wasnt scared

Same here mate, got my text this afternoon. Cant honestly say I'm actually scared, just very wary of what the future holds. Just follow the government's advice  and keep your chin up.

New measures reviewed in 3 weeks.  Likely to be in place much longer unfortunately - or fortunately.

Found out tonight that a dozen regulars are meeting at a neutral venue every night with drinks "provided" by the local pub

See you all on the other side. .

Not sure I like the possible connotation of that mate  

Well you've got to laugh FFS

Quoted from forza ivano

thanks to all those who flocked to the seaside and Richmond park etc. You've well n truly fecked it up for all of us

I think they should be congratulated, without them the government would have continued to fanny around. Due to the morons and selfish twits Boris has finally brought in measures that should have been implemented two weeks ago.

Now lets see it fully enforced, no soft half-hearted approach and extra support for the police from the armed forces if necessary. I just can't see our police force being able to handle it forcefully enough without help. France and Italy appear to be carrying out a lot of 'is your journey really necessary' checks and in some places paperwork and ID is needed

I’ve been reasonably supportive of the difficult decisions the government have made but I’m disillusioned today, the wishy washy directive yesterday has caused the outside world to be busier than ever in the uk. People still travelling , shopping, ‘exercising’ . Building sites still running and sports direct still open. It’s a joke . It needs a direct order for everyone to stay home apart from a few listed jobs, not a ‘if you possible can ‘ attitude

You think people who helped to potentially spread this terrible disease should be "congratulated"! Words fail me on such a crass statement. If the public had followed the recommendations about self distancing and mass gatherings then maybe these Draconian measures could have been avoided. Despite all the warnings the High Street footfall had only dropped by 30% and park attendance was up by 200%. Masses of people attending coastal resorts and beauty spots, spreading the infection further. If the message had got through to me over 2 weeks ago ago why didn't other people take heed? "The commonest thing on this planet isn't water but stupidity".

I’ve had to come to work to pay the wages. As I drove past Aldi at 5 to 8 there where dozens of people waiting for it to open. No more than 3 feet apart.
What the feck don’t they understand. I think we need someone outside them for road control/ advice.

This.

Just seen my neighbour drive off in his builders van. The same builder who was loudly complaining to anyone who'd listen that the golf course was shut on Sunday and he couldn't get his round of golf in.

I said last night that again it was too hit and miss and that some would just carry on as normal until physically stopped from doing so.
