As with friends, family and colleagues, some people will step up to the plate and impress immensely when we most need it, others will crash and burn and look like total fannies. It's no surprise that your wee corner shops in villages etc are fairly well stocked, you're windows are not going to last long if the villagers need bog roll and you have it all. I just hope people remember those in their communities who stepped up to make this easier, aye your local butcher etc are trying to keep their business running but they are showing a 'can do' attitude that should be rewarded with a larger and more loyal customer base after this. I don't mind birthday caird pish, it's better than the me me me pish that's took hold over the last few decades. There will be plenty now getting a wee taste of what it's like to live on a very tight budget with no fancy nights out or holidays,that won't be a bad thing for some. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In hindsight (though not strictly needed) that was a ludicrous decision. They could use that phone tracking method that was posted a few days ago. But they wouldn't want us to see the results. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 8 hours ago, Thereisalight.. said: A second wave was always going to happen. We can’t live like this forever though. There’s an argument that a 3 or 4 month lockdown with even longer to wait for sports, cinema, gigs etc, would do even more harm to people than the actual coronavirus Haven’t read the rest of the thread yet, but I could live without watching live sports, gigs and the cinema for years if required. I do agree with the overall thrust of your post. I have also read a few posts saying stuff like ‘nothing else matters bar coronavirus’. Absolute nonsense. There is already a report in the news today about domestic abuse, people who are not in a good relationship cooped up together. Ester Rantzen has highlighted how there has already been an increase in calls to Childline. We already had foodbanks all over the country, we know charities are being hammered. We know that before this virus even arrived, there were shitloads of families struggling on the breadline. What about those with mental health issues? Disability? Lonely people? Even taking it down many notches.... people are deferring dental treatment at present. Minor operations, and some more serious ones. Christ, even notching it down again, folk need a haircut - sometime. I posted that my sister-in-law’s partner died of cancer two months ago. She is alone, her partner was only buried weeks ago but my wife, her only sister and close relative cannot visit her. I know someone who has children by his first wife. He cannot see them. He re-married and after five days, his young kids are already driving him round the bend, and he’s a loving, responsible adult trying his best - but he has real job worries, how can he afford everything? I haven’t even mentioned business and the economy, which really, really, do matter - to everybody. Imagine these situations replicated millions and millions of times across the nation. To say the only thing that matters is the virus is simply not true. If society starts unravelling - and I don’t mean a lack of fitba’ to watch or a gig to go to, I mean real people suffering real problems - we will get past coronavirus, but the cost in other ways will be completely frightening. Coronavirus could go on for a year? People’s lives need to go on forever. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw two old guys standing about three feet apart yapping; no wonder there’s talk about tougher restrictions. Yer Da types are just not getting it, I spent most of yesterday chasing idiots up and down aisles telling them to follow social distancing to protect themselves. I really can't do anymore than I have done but fuckwits are still ignoring it or are to thick to follow basic, clear instructions. Can't it be announced over the tannoy? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
