Fucking hope so mate, can’t wait for the day this is over
Fucking hope so mate, can’t wait for the day this is overSaid weeks back, scientists all over the world saying its following Sars. Even an almost identical genetic make up.
Unfortunately more contagious and is now endemic, but its mutated to survive. Its weaker, i refer you to what the Italian doctor from bergamo said. 'What was once a bear is now a pussycat'.
I just don't buy it that a virus has mutated so quickly, I'd like to but just can't see itSaid weeks back, scientists all over the world saying its following Sars. Even an almost identical genetic make up.

Any links?I’m no expert but I’ve definitely read this too, that it’s mutating.

I'd have thought the hotter weather helps, immune systems up. If we get to October/November and things are still under control, then happy days. Can't see that though and, until that, got to make sure people don't get complacent and allow it a way in.but cases up in several parts of the region, it definitely seems to have lost some of its venom for whatever reason. Hopefully that carries on.

Yup, we're all lacking contact with, well... anybody!it could be that, or as I put in a post yesterday it could be that people are being infected with lower viral loads just to the precautionary measures that they're taking. Either way, as you say, far too early to let the guard down.

As an aside, I've ended up with an infection. How is this even possible?!? My house (and me!) have never been so well scrubbed and disinfected!

I can. If you look at how quickly stuff like this replicates and each replication is the equivalent of a new 'generation' the virus will have gone through millions of 'generations' during that time which in human terms would be like us not having evolved(mutated) from prehistoric times.
Mutations happen every time any organism reproduces. It’s just chance whether they make it fitter for purpose and proliferate. As you say, more reproduction = more mutations = quicker fitness.
That BBC report suggests the dominant mutation makes it more contagious but not more or less deadly.
As a consequence of his awful handling of the outbreak, support for Scottish Indy is now almost +10 in a series of polls. Mr ‘One Nation Tory’ is on course to be the last PM if he keeps it going. Those who told us we were scaremongering about the Union after the election take note
They've had their chance at independence amd never do. They always shit the bed. All mouth from the sweaties
They've had one go at it, 6 years ago since then a lot has changed. It was 55:45 in favour of remaining part of the union then. When the implications of no deal Brexit start to be felt who knows what will happen.They've had their chance at independence amd never do. They always shit the bed. All mouth from the sweaties
Had to laugh listening to Brandon Lewis talk about both independence and Brexit this morning.
I don’t know why more interviewers don’t pick up on the inherent hypocrisy.
“Scotland is stronger in a Union because of the close economic ties and cooperation”
“Polls don’t mean anything, they’re a snapshot in time ... we had a poll and it’s settled for a generation”

Standard for a Tory. Clap for the NHS, vote against the NHS. You must wear masks in shops, you don’t have to wear masks in certain shops now a government minister has been caught out not wearing a mask in a shop, you must stay at home and self isolate, unless you’re a government advisor in need of an eye test. Etc etc. All governments in my lifetime have demonstrated hypocrisy from time to time but this government has turned it into a full time occupation.You can argue for or against both, but arguing for one and against the other is logically inconsistent

My lifetime Tory voting dad said ‘they’re making it up as they’re going aren’t they, flipping useless’. He’ll still vote for them in ‘24 though.
The guidance about masks and takeaways is that you don’t have to wear one if you’re eating in but do if you’re taking it away. So you don’t have to wear one when in there for longer but do if you’re popping in and out. 6 months in and the messaging is still piss poor
But I reckon the goalposts have moved significantly.
After the last indy ref when all these promises were made to them to stay and the second they did it turned into a "what does this mean for England" it caused a massive upsurge in interest. 2010GE only had 6 SNP, 2015GE 56SNP. Part of that will also be down to the collapse of the LD, but normally you'd have expected most to go to Labour. Instead they pretty much all went with a party with one overriding policy.
Brexit is seeing them leave the EU against their will because England has a much higher population and thus drowns them out.
Now you've got a load of Tory (who they despise) charlatans who give the impression they see the other home nations as second/third class turning everything they touch to shit and with such a huge majority likely to remain there for the next decade.
If you gave the Scots and Welsh indy votes tomorrow overwhelmingly they'd leave.
I guess it is difficult to eat with a mask on though.
I thought there wasn’t much appetite in Wales,mostly thanks to the large contingent of retiredEnglish people. Has that changed?
Now NI...

The SNP used to do best in rural areas but is now the party of the central belt and Dundee. Those rural areas are now back to Tory/LD because they are mostly socially conservative and the SNP wants to portray everyone in Scotland as a woke leftie.
The next assembly elections will be a big test. If Sinn Fein take control of the assembly either on it’s own or as part of a republican alliance a referendum has to take place under the terms of the GFA. I wouldn’t be surprised if this happens. Northern Ireland has been quietly been going through a political revolution for a while now and brexit is far from the biggest factor. You now have a generation of voters who didn’t live through the troubles but are educated on them enough to know that they can’t return to them and see a united ireland as a way of achieving that so the historical allegiance of voting based on religion has gone. You also have the small issue of LGBT rights and pro choice for women, people look to both the rest of the U.K. and Ireland and see Northern Ireland in comparison as backward and not looking likely to change why dinosaurs such as Foster are in charge. The only way they can change this is with a United ireland. Traditional party loyalties are becoming a thing of the past.Certainly much less than in Scotland. But the handling of coronavirus and the fact the Tories are likely to be in power for ages would swing it in a 'can't be any worse can it?' way.
NI - really don't want that to gain momentum purely for the fact it'd kick everything off again. In NI those that want to stay REALLY want to stay and those that want independence REALLY want independence. So either way it'd cause problems.
