Bangkok post were reporting that 1000 people broke the curfew each night, that's out of 69 milllion. Why? If you got caught you got a fine and a truncheon to the face..... I have wondered if zero alcohol sales was coming down the tracks in Scotland - might go some way to stop the house parties that are apparently causing the virus to spread. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1885 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 I believe our cases of Covid 19 are right down compared to the rest of the "central belt" even with the great unwashed of Tranent in our stats.A bit of respect for the Big T please. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really are a pathetic hypocrite aren’t you, trying to act the enraged restriction-abiding citizen, considering your embarrassing stance on restrictions at the peak of this. Enjoy Wales. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd be shouting from the rooftops if they thought a foolproof vaccine was going to be imminently available. The vaccine won't be ready this time next year, never mind for Christmas 2020. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have however stocked up with copious amounts of beers, wine and spirits just in case mind you... I might even become temporarily popular on here, given that I will retain unfettered access to alcohol throughout. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm confused why a details man like you thinks the SNP has a parliamentary majority. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those that need to (e.g: me, my wife and our daughter) continue to shield as best as possible with very limited contact with others, and those that don't need to shield carry on (with continued social distancing, hand washing, mask wearing etc).

Jacksgranda Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 22 hours ago, djchapsticks said: I mean, to all intents, more scientists and epidemiologists are pointing towards it being endemic than not. Too many people have in their head that a vaccine is going to be developed, cure it outright and it will be consigned to the history books. This is almost certainly not the case. A vaccine, more realistically, like the flu vaccine, will give the old and vulnerable a far greater level of protection against the effects but not be foolproof. People with the flu vaccine still can and do die of flu and the same will be the case with covid, particularly with the early vaccines. Somebody else can get them, then... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are somethings on social media you just don't boast about. I like your style of retribution, you're on the list. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
