Coronavirus in the UK - news, lockdown and discussion

[killer b]

Quick Q. My ex girlfriend is booked on a 5pm flight to Italy tomorrow. Will she be able to leave?

Who knows? Johson's press conference suggested not unless she's travelling for work, although there's other exceptions yet to be published,

At this point I'm thinking Europe is just going to put a fence around the UK and leave us to it.

 

[Artaxerxes]

Its an important note and looking on Twitter I can see there are an awful lot of people wanting to know.

The psychopathic, death-cult loons are all coming out of the woodwork...

When was the last time Buckingham was devastated? During the Anarchy of the 1100s?

A couple of days ago I was sure people would largely ignore any last minute change of rules about Christmas but that feels wrong now, maybe because the change so drastic, not like it’s from 3 households to 2 it’s just stay at home.

Two of the main right wing newspapers already using the headline ‘Christmas is cancelled’ to summarise the current situation. FFS...

There's some properly dangerous idiots sat behind Johnson...

Two young women have been going up and down the aisle of my train telling people they've been indoctrinated to wear masks, but they don't need to because 99.7 per cent something or other. Masked passengers are trying to pretend they're not there. Some younger unmasked travellers have been chatting enthusiastically with the women. There has been some talk of common law. They've just got off at Stevenage thank fuck.

I've only just twigged why Waverley keeps getting the Tier 2 golden ticket unlike the rest of Surrey...it's their way of shutting up Hunt.

TBF, Waverley has the lowest case numbers in Surrey, it borders tier 2 West Sussex, and has lower numbers than 2 council areas in WS.

They were both pissed, it would have turned into a brawl and I don't want people like that breathing all over me!

 

[LDC]

Shitting hell. I went for a walk and drink outside with a few people, then just home to see this.

 

[8ball]

So, am in Wales and they have said "essential retail only", and I have barely started Christmas shopping.
Everyone is getting a fucking lettuce this year.

Not sure what you mean.

If my local facebook group is anything to go by its scared people rather than them angry about cancelling things now or carrying on regardless they are all shouting New Virus 70 percent more deadly etc and saying they will throw turkeys out etc and cancel but its very strange Boris love group mostly
I only log in for local bargains and already asked a neighbor if I can have their spare huge chocolate fudge cake cheap but I havent really a good reputation to keep there anyway and wouldn't want to bubble with the majority

Massive turkeys will be 50p now won’t they.

The reduced to clear section is going to be glorious on Thursday.

Boris Johnson is a massive turkey and I wouldn't give 5p let alone 50p for him

Fuck lettuce, then. Everyone is getting turkey. In the post. Around Jan 10th.

Let me know if there are any signs of it being branded the grinch strain, or of headlines such as 'A new strain on the nations patients/patience'.

 

[Lord Camomile]

My brother has been living with friends rather than at my parents', where he actually lives, to try and keep them safe while he works in a primary school.

In theory, precisely because he's done that he now won't be able to see them over Christmas. I say "in theory", because it sounds like he's just going to go home anyway.

As I live alone, again in theory I can still visit them. Feel very, very uncomfortable about it all, though.

There'll be fuck all cos some people have food for a party and other people have bare cupboards because they thought they were going to a party

 

[bimble]

The shops might be on the phone right now trying to sort things out so that they can sell us frozen turkey pies and turkey tika massalas all year.

 

[cupid_stunt]

So, that's Scotland now joining Wales & most of England (except tier 4 areas - no mixing) in limiting household mixing to just Christmas Day.

The news from the experts. in the last 24 hours, about how fast this new strain is spreading has clearly come as a major shock to them all.
