I think if they’re going to do it they need to act and do it now. With the current shambles of the testing, god only knows how many people potentially infected as they haven’t been notified of contact with an infected person. If they’re that concerned about the rising infection rate, now is a good time to prove that to the public and act appropriately. I think I could just about handle if they decided to do it right now. But I won’t cope with it being a ‘circuit breaker’ lockdown that goes on for another 3 months.

I agree.
If they do it decisively AND don’t have a million different loopholes. I personally feel the current restrictions (in Scotland) have too many loopholes. Kids don’t count in numbers, you can’t go in to houses but you can if your family are your childcare. I know someone who meets with her sister st their Mum’s house for coffee under the guise of childcare. 🙄🤷🏻‍♀️ Trades can come and go but no family visits. Etc. My father in law is a plumber... so he can come into our house providing he has his overalls on and tool bag.

Couldn’t cope with a long lockdown- totally agree!

How twitter works....a thread

“I’m tired”
“Fuck off you loser, bet you’re on the dole scratching your arse”

“Jesus it’s cold today”
“And what’s your issue you fat cunt, put more clothes on and stop walking around like a slag”

“we need another lockdown”
“FAKE NEWS BULLSHIT MEDIA TRYIN TO BRAINWASH ALL YE SHEEP, YOU DESERVE TO DIE U CLOWN WIT UR FUCKIN CLOWN MASK 🇨🇮🇬🇧🇨🇮🇬🇧🇨🇮 #TAKINBACKOURFREEDOM ”

“5G MASTS INNIT. CLOWNS THE LOT OF YE!”

what’s everyone’s thoughts on this “two week circuit breaker” lockdown we are hearing more of?

Closing bars, restaurants, other leisure alongside schools for two weeks. Do you think it will happen?

I do think that here in Scotland it’s going to be announced this week. Just in time for the October break.

Feeling very fed up and down with the full shambles.

I don't think it will be on the cards for the whole of England but maybe for the worst affected areas that aren't seeing a decent slowing of cases.
I've had 3 emails from the school in the past week about home learning, I know they had to have this in place by October half term but they've been ordering laptops and tablets to be sent home with pupils.
They've also put in a place a new food delivery service for another site wide closure.

I've decided I'm going to pull mine out a week early at christmas. They do diddly squit in the last week anyway and it will allow us 2 full weeks of islolation, so we can see elderly and vulnerable family over Christmas.
 
To all those who replied about Cubs, Scouts, Rainbows, Brownies etc....
Thank you, I still can’t believe they chose not to let the other 5 parents know....the Cub who was asked to isolate hasn’t been tested so we’ll never know. I completely agree that we should all take responsibility and it’s common courtesy....the other parents will have found out via the grapevine and it would have been so much better to come from us. A local pub had a customer test positive, they closed for a deep clean, obviously test and trace should have kicked in but they also posted on social media to advise the local community and any other customers, I think that was such a moral, responsible thing to do!

I can’t remember who but someone posted about current Scouting Association guidelines and they are correct. Max 15, masks for leaders, scouts must also wear masks. But there’s no pressure or requirement for any groups to return, it depends on the volunteers who run the groups. On a personal level due to being immune suppressed and shielding I was wary of returning but was ok as it was outside. After last week I’m extremely nervous and won’t be prepared to do indoor activities.
 
Had a covid test this morning as a precaution and it had me looking like a hot mess. I had tears streaming down my face and neck with the men in hi-vis standing directly opposite my car getting a good show! I don't even know if I put it in my nose enough but I really hope it doesn't come back inconclusive.

Are you BANES as they seem dramatically lower than neighbouring counties.
I live in south west and don't beleive our figures are as low as we think given school outbreaks and many travelling to lockdowns area in Wales to get a test.

Its madness how they discounted 16k makes me feel anxious.

The trump freak show just gets more stupid and surreal he really understands the virus now after 200k Americans died and infections still rife many states.
Read it wants to open up borders soon which must be be worrying for canada and Mexico.

I guess uk has more in common with France than say Sweden.
So i think we follow france.
France being reckless with education too and just shut Paris bars.

When we talk about boris making further restrictions what else can he pull out if the hat.
Pubs and hospitality only account small %.
10pm curfew been disaster

I keep thinking back to August Chris whitty we at absolute capacity if what we can open up keep r rate low and schools safe.
Nearly everything open and nothings shut.
Surly further restrictions mean shutting something.
They refuse shut schools yet thousands kids and school all over the uk are off now.
The worst is uni lots different universities due to reckless partying.
Do we really trust students not to party and self isolate in order to go home for xmas.
I expect uni towns the r rate will rocket.

metro.co.uk

Students fined £200 after throwing 200-person party in halls

Coventry University has warned students breaching its coronavirus code of conduct could face disciplinary action.
metro.co.uk metro.co.uk

Initially school outbreaks community now they schools.

What do we predict today figures will be?
Wancock off to parliament today explain himself.
Wonder if we get a briefing this week.
Will half term be extended and circuit breaker next.

the graph that someone shared on here showed that universities make up the smallest transmission compared to primary or secondary schools. that fact that most are teaching online make them the safest.

Boris has admitted they don't know how many people the test n trace failed to contact because of the glitch ...I wonder was the Panorama programme that was aired last week picking this up (unbeknownst)as most of the people interviewed on there weren't being told to isolate until long after they were in contact with the infected person 🤔

Seen on the ITV news that Jennifer Saunders asking for the govt to set a date when theatre audiences can visit without social distancing. Is she for real?! Forgive me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think Boris has a crystal ball.

It’s an important question for all industry, people are hanging on by a thread and want to know what the exit strategy is, and should they try to battle on this winter or give up.

That’s teaching though, it’s not the teaching that’s the issue it’s students halls and socialisation

I’m not the original poster but banning protests is a big no no in democratic countries. I don’t think I need to elaborate on why it’s bad to ban protests- freedom of speech/ expression etc to say the least.

Im 50/50 on this right now tbh,
But I do think they need to be controlled until the pandemic is under control because right now it’s a piss take.

this lot aren’t protesting for anything worth while, they lined grafton street in Dublin on Saturday shouting at shoppers to take their masks off, that’s not a protest and none of us should have to stand by and watch that happening when we’re all sacrificing so much.

you’re a dickhead we get it, it’s your constitutional right to be a dickhead but do it at a 2M distance and cover your cake hole, and kindly piss all the way off.
