topcat(The most tip top) Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I know its the Daily Mail reporting this but they are trying to say the R rating is higher in Scotland, Wales and N ireland 0.7-1 than England 0.5-.0.8 not a chance I wouldn’t get too excited. It could technically be lower in Scotland without those numbers being outside their margins of error. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Great news for voyeurs in England. New coronavirus laws in England have made it illegal for couples who live in different homes to have sex indoors and stay overnight. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/coronavirus-sex-lockdown-law-couples-indoors-england-a9542171.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd_is_God Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Excellent news. Eased lockdown on 11th May as well so any negative response would have been seen by now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Negative on antibody testing for me. Slightly disappointed tbh. Wanted to have had my turn. Was that a test that you paid for privately? Ive been told by the mrs that some of the antibody tests arent even 50% accurate. Apparently there is a very accurate test being developed by Roche that the NHS is planning to roll out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was through my work. I had assumed given the timing these were the Roche ones but maybe not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the EU countries have said they wont allow UK residents in as UK still recording over 8000 positive tests a day when everyone else is in the hundreds you got to admit if any country is going to f**k up they dont do it much better than the UK. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure I saw a report saying that the EU countries that lifted lockdown were recording new cases in the low hundreds. As you say very different from England/U.K. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are posters on here who think that continued observation of social distancing is OTT. It’s a bit worrying. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL-FFC Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Sorry was about to go on a rant it just annoys the sh*te out me how much we arse it up. The thing is it might be OTT it might not but when you look at stats its 1.5 above the normal flu but the big question is how lucky do you feel to take that chance i know BPM had it from the Falkirk thread had it, so it is very real but when you consider even after contracting it your going to be left with the damage it has done to your lungs even when you recover. I would rather take the chance in not catching it but not everyone has the different standards of hygiene and no matter what you do to mitigate the chances of infection your still vulnerable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Willie Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 If you can pick up your dog's poo with a bag, you can do it for a BBQ guest. 3 hours ago, throbber said: I double dare anyone who is at a mates BBQ to defecate in their back garden and then pick it up with a poo bag and then carry on as normal. Would look very funny on TikTok. You've got it wrong. It's the host of the BBQ who has to pick up the jobby - now that would be funny. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good news indeed. Only fair however to point out that their lockdown was much more draconian than ours. Positive to see that the fatality level has reached that stage though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've sent a few of our lads at work to Holland, Norway and Sweden recently, going to have to bring them all back since I've seen this post.
