effeffsee_the2nd Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 The looming furlough deadline will of course have nothing to do with any of this. Back in spring other countries shut everydown and we were under intense pressure to do likewise. No other countries are seeing bigger case rises but are still doing their best to go forwards not backwards with restrictions, public patience will be a factor as well as the furlough deadline.Also I remember that most colds and flues pass pretty quickly, but every so often healthy people get one that leaves their cheast fucked for quite a few weeks and just won’t bugger of, won’t this corona virus be similar? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems it ok to pack people into a gym though, that'll be sweating and coughing near each other. Think she's got this the wrong way round. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itzdrk Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Had a bit of an awkward one yesterday, sat in a 'beer garden' in Govanhill and get a text to go into our intranet and read a business update and then would get a call later on. I had a few more beers than I would have had I known I'd be getting the call Basically first week in September due back in for one day to go over new rules, health and safety stuff ect and go back shortly after (not every day ). Had to tread the tightrope of saying I had plans on a couple of the days as I didn't presume we would be back but I can make myself available, fortunately she wasn't bothered and said it's only one day so as long as you are free on the others we can work round it. We aren't essential so I dunno if there was a presumption offices would be given the ok today or not but I haven't heard from them with anything different. I wonder what stuff I have in my work drawer that I haven't seen in 5/6 months. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst that is true, the 16,901 tests completed yesterday is the second highest total of any day so far, and the 8,021 new people tested is around 2,200 higher than on any other day.

Thereisalight.. Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 “Dog pat workers isolating” , never a headline I thought I’d read but it is 2020. The gist of the story is 27 factory workers have been sent home to isolate after patting a dog belonging to someone who has covid. The world has gone fcking mad 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they built a big wall round the entire area they’d keep the local grot away from Greggs long enough that they’d all starve to death thus allowing the bulldozers to move in and begin the regeneration of an affluent grot free borough. Bit harsh? Bit fash! 5 hours ago, welshbairn said: You've also got all the sandwich bars, shops and pubs etc that are dependent on office workers. If Covid kills off the sandwich then we'll look back on it relatively fondly I reckon. Dirt tier food vessel.

Torpar Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 (edited) City of Toronto passed a bylaw on August 5th requiring masks to be worn in the common areas of apartment buildings, lifts, laundry room etc Half the morons in my building have taken this a mere suggestion. Just been down to the laundry room, some bint who looks like she should on the TV show Intervention complaining loudly to her latest boyfriend that she won't be sending her son back to school as he won't keep his mask on and she doesn't want him to catch corona and give it to her, said bint and boyfriend both not wearing a mask. I fucking can't stand this city anymore! Edited August 20, 2020 by Torpar 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
