Coronavirus in the UK - news, lockdown and discussion

C4 has Hunt warbling on now, but before it started they had a kickboxing 49 year old woman who was in intensive care with it, as was her mum, mum never made it and 49 year old’s lungs are wrecked and she had to watch her mum’s funeral on a screen in a hospital room on her own, made me want to cry, then we get a minimum six weeks minimum no school/lockdown, fucks sakes.

Oh Kieth's on now. Not sure I can deal with this many massive cunts in this short a period of time.

massive cunt alert level 4

Alcohol takeaway and delivery sales to be banned until mid Feb

:eek:

as in pubs not going off-sales, or is all booze sales in shops banned?

He didn't mention universities though, did he?

no, they will only do that the day after the students all get back to university for the new term...

I asked him for that to help me with doing dry January. :thumbs:
That’s a standout and while I’m not bothered it’s going to really fucking piss people off

If it's the same rules as before I think that is just for pubs? Offies and supermarkets will probably still be allowed to sell booze, (although it probably wouldn't do me any harm if they stopped... :oops: Also trying for dry January).

Round my way some of the pubs have been absolutely taking the piss with loads of people hanging around outside with "takeaways". I would reluctantly support it but not seen anything from a proper source yet.

Graun is reporting that universities stay online except for a small number of what they refer to as 'critical courses' - medical, mainly - which require f2f.

Looks like it, yes: shops can still sell booze but pubs can't do takeout.

That is my experience too, though it should also be said that they've had about 5% of the help they need and so probably (correctly) think they've got no option.
 
I've never had any particular aspirations to be a teacher, even though I have very fond memories of some of mine. But by Jesus, I'm glad I'm not one now.

They've had a dose of shite throughout all of this. Never mind being in classrooms with gaggles of infective vectors, they spent their Christmas holidays figuring out how the fucking hell they were to do all of this mass testing Johnson and Williamson wanted, only to go back in for one single day, then to be told they were remote teaching as from tomorrow. They'd better all get a big fat pay rise at the end of this. Edit - but I bet they won't.

Kudos to any teachers on here. You're a better man/woman than me.
 
Wonder what the justification for keeping nurseries open is. We've just taken our son out anyway.

Good plan. A friend of mine is suffering very badly at the moment having caught it from his toddler. Schools are safe was always bollocks.

I do sympathise, my local has been one of the worst but they attract a younger crowd who think they are invincible and it's tucked away down the arches so they are off the beaten track.
