Coronavirus

Quoted from Limerick Mariner

Any road up never mind Johnson and Cummings - Fenty - when are you going to the GTFC face masks out...no new stadium yet no face masks...sack the Board.

I've seen these...https://www.saracens.com/saracens-face-coverings/...from a cheating relegated rugby club but look well designed. And on ebay you can buy one of these...https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ADU.....8:g:t7gAAOSwNG5e2P6X nice that we get a mention before St Mirren and Notts County don't figure...

I know we are struggling for cash and having to make cuts but taking the 'S' out of Grimsby is one step too far.

If you are bald don't go to Spain for your hols.  "79% of 122 male coronavirus patients in Madrid hospital were bald"

I don't understand why you have to wear face masks on public transport from 15th June - why the 15th why not now - seems some strange decisions being made

I agree, it seems odd but I’d imagine they’d say it’s to ensure people have the tome to access one and they can adjust legislation and so on to enforce it...but then again, who the duck knows with this chimps tea party running the show

Lots of things i don't understand about the way we have managed this crisis.

Why have they waited this long to isolate passengers coming into the country?

Why send kids back to school now when the summer holidays are upon us?

Why are car showrooms allowed to open?

Why......

Another 357 deaths yesterday and past the 40,000 mark with no sign of the slowdown that happened in Spain and Italy after the same time frame.

Points to incompetence and wrong decision making to me, but still many think the Government have done the best they could.  

If the government have been following scientific advice , and it's possibly a big IF,then I don't particularly think the scientists are up to scratch.

I reckon 95% of the nation could produce a face covering with items found in their house at five minutes notice. Everyone else could have one within six hours tops from shops - they’re selling them in the Spar shops at the minute. Really weird that we’re in the grip of a pandemic and the government are making rule changes like this with two weeks notice until they come in.

Don’t think it’s anything other than the country’s economy is now their major concern whatever the sound bites coming out from the govt. They are satisfied the NHS can now cope with the demand so the need to get people back working is their focus.

Why in so doing face masks etc. were not made obligatory on public transport is I agree a total mystery. God knows what rules will be in place when pubs reopen but I fear getting my Doombar down may not be helped by wearing a face mask!!!!

According to the government up until now the use of public transport (apart from the occasional tube journey which the bbc like showing over and over again) is at approx 5% of normal so seen to not be needed but from the 15th this is likely to increase due to more schools and more retails outlets being open, so more people using the system, whether getting to school/work or going to the shops.

The funniest thing is Sadiq khan saying how angry he is that this was not brought in sooner and that it could have cost lives. It was then pointed out to him that, as London mayor, he had the powers to have made masks mandatory himself and didn’t need the government, to which he agreed. In fact he had threatened to do so in April, but didn’t do anything. Brilliant stuff mr Khan.
