Is that not correct? Not according to the government advice. We've got two different governments sending out different messages to the same people. Some are listening to one, and others are listening to the other. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 6 minutes ago, dirty dingus said: So the place where laws and major decisions reguarding the path of the UK during a crisis is to shut down to protect the politicians yet they want idiots to go work on minimum wage in a shop so the old dears can get some sweeties and the daily express. Totally outrageous. I stand by my view that anyone expected to work right now should be given a Tax break. It's easy to implement and would at least go a little way to repay those out in the front line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Covid-19. Not a high consequence infectious disease I thought I was reading some spoof site there. Covid-19 seems to meet every one of the bullets in the definition. Seems like a classification thing.We know enough about it now that it's just a bad strain rather than an unknown killer of all strain (where extra precautions have been taken).The nhs have been using older ppe anyway so this probably won't make any difference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that not correct? Outwith "key workers". The problem is there are so many definitions of key workers no one knows what the f**k is going on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 5 minutes ago, D.A.F.C said: Sturgeon said unless you are making or doing something that directly effects the pandemic then stay at home? Is that not correct? The key word that both the UK government and Scottish government have used through this is "should". Saying "unless you are providing an essential service, you should stay home" is utterly useless. It's like telling an alcoholic he shouldn't have another pint, he knows it's probably true but fucked if he'll be listening. Businesses are alcoholics and the government have asked them to stop drinking pints rather than closing the bar. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Burton Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Covid-19. Not a high consequence infectious diseaseDowngraded it so they don't have to supply PPE for NHS staff.My wife is a nurse they've now been told that a mask, plastic apron and single pair of gloves is enough to treat patients with the virus. This is what they would normally use anyway bar the mask. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Made an online application for the £10k small business grant. There’s a bit in the blurb saying I will need to declare it on my next company tax return. I assume it will be treated as income and, therefore, if we do any better than break-even in the year, it be clawed back in part as Corporation Tax. The government giveth and the government taketh away... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 2 hours ago, Bairn Necessities said: I went to Holyrood Park yesterday evening. It was a lovely walk. People were really good - making sure they maintained a good distance from each other and passing on the grass verges. Didn't go up Arthur's Seat but walked round . Some joggers running together were the only examples I saw that you could argue weren't in clear family groups and were too close. Might live together though, who knows. All safe and following the social distancing guidelines perfectly. Was nice to see. If everyone in my area exercised within half a mile of our homes it would literally be congested streets, which would be absolutely fucking stupid versus a giant expanse of grass. I think you're grossly overestimating the number of people who will actually be doing some exercise. 1 hour ago, MixuFixit said: California Girls. Fight me. Birthday.
