Only 0.005% of the population are even in hospital, never mind the 0.00005% seriously ill. I personally look forward to the daily updates on seasonal flu cases in a few months (which will be similar levels to current covid cases), and the subsequent panic tbh.

Holland's incredible for it too, although I suppose they've got the excuse of their own language being so close to English in the first place. I was in North Macedonia a couple of summers ago visiting a friend and I decided to order a drink in Macedonian Me: "Skopsko molim" Waiter: "I can speak English" Me: "Yes, but I was trying to practice Macedonian" Waiter: "You don't need Macedonian in your life..." In that part of the world English (the Septics rather than us to thank for that one) and German (a lot of people work in Germany) will get you by 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS calling people who have the audacity to talk "c***s" is a fantastic display of Sturgeon's Schutzstaffel in full flow. Any time mate. You know I'm ready to ride into action whenever the volume of conversations reaches a level above which we would need to lean in in order to hear properly. Yeah I think you've picked me up wrong in your last bit. You're getting a wee bit union bearsy recently mate put the daily mail comments section down.

I've felt we were way too cautious in loosening restrictions on things like meeting or doing activities outside and outdoor catering, but I'm equally surprised we're sending secondary schools back full time. Apart from nightclubs, there can't be any environment more likely to spread the virus. If we get through the next six weeks or so without a major outbreak somewhere involving a school, I'll be amazed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP_MFC Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 The parents should be fined for that. À fine example of people who see the schools as free childcare, right there. Seems like the child didn't have symptoms but attended a house party with folk on Monday who had previously been at one with kids from Bannerman who were positive and were advised that someone at that party had tested positive so got sent home.Honest tae f**k who let's their weans go to a house party the now? Probably the same c***s who go on a pub crawl. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Amusing to see the flat earth types recounting stories of non compliance at every opportunity in an attempt to justify their stance. Amazingly shops I go into I see 90% plus mask compliance and my pub and restaurant visits bar 1 have seen measures all followed yet the anti crowd seem to see non compliance and thus justification at every turn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must admit i still havnt ventured into a pub or restaurant yet. I see far too many people not giving a f**k in my work ( staff and customers), I find it easier to just work and then go home.

Corona is just a mild illness at worst to most teenagers. Many won’t get symptoms at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
