All this going to the pub and other gatherings is absolutely mental at this time. There is a lot of people ignoring advice, but the government appear not to have been very coherent at the outset, which hasn’t really helped and probably created this type of reaction. It appears to be feast or famine in the UK. Either ridiculous pant wetting or this is nothing. There seems to be a lack of logical middle ground. Its a highly contagious, but not particularly deadly virus. Not the end of times nor something to ignore. The end of times will come later when the economic fall out comes. All this, I coughed, sneezed, farted, I need to self isolate will come back to haunt us in the future. Sensible. Seems you either need to be in either the 'nothing is happening' camp or the screaming Helen Lovejoy camp right now though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tight minge Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 I don't think he was being entirely serious.Maybe been whooshed, but he certainly seemed adamant.Its been hard to ascertain what is serious and not int his thread now. Was easier when it a simple league table of Asian countries. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. My Mrs has folk sanitising as soon as they are in door. Thoroughly cleaning between every client. Of course, that puts her more are risk than any one particular person she does due to being in close proximity to a decent number of folk but she's always had a strong constitution (over 30 years of old biddies coming in with all sorts of ailments in close proximity builds up a strong immune system) and aside from work is just staying at home with me. Not socialising apart from it. We've decided to go a walk out and about tomorrow away from folk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody needs a haircut, even one to die for. There's no way to make it safe, I've cancelled my dentist check up for the same reason, not having someone breathing all over me when I don't know where they've been. Seems insane to keep hairdressers open when you can't even sit outside with a coffee. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know as I don't fucking work there. Are you somehow suggesting she is reckless by going to work in a place that the government has not yet determined should be closed down? Once it shuts, it shuts. Until then its business as usual. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 "Reckless" is probably too strong of a word but I would say any place like that staying open just now is taking quite a selfish approach. That's the owner rather than the staff though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until any specific restrictions are put in place, I don't blame any business that tries to keep operating through this. Had hairdressers, salons, etc been named alongside thing like theatres and gyms, the place would have been closed today and she would have been covered by this 80% pledge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hampden Diehard Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Saturday and no football and probably no pub. Taking my time over a dump with soft Andrex to clean up is probably the best today is going to get. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
