I’m not sure what difference an island nation makes? Every country has to have supplies from another to a certain extent - granted, here the majority food consumed is grown here.Too late for us to do that and as an island nation really difficult for us to do what we need to do without having people come in with supplies.
Too much watching American shite on social media.
What is this fresh hell? Modern life is rubbish.

Had to Google QAnon. Never heard of it, however I got an invite to one of these conspiracy pages on Facebook, full of desperate people with tin foil hats spreading all sorts of nonsense. Thing is, it clearly influences people. Scary shit.Big UK QAnon contingent there yesterday apparently.

And he's part of the government that said Cummings was well within his rights when he broke lockdown rules. Wankers.As expected Hancock has blamed the public for not following safety measures if another lockdown occurs after spending weeks demanding people go out to the pub, restaurant and back to the office to help out the economy.
How the f*** are they being allowed to get away with this s***?
Interesting article, worth a read.

Just short of 4000 any details of hospitalisations and ventilators?

It would be useful if a mask were helpful above all else. You'd hope to God they'd revisit the workplace regulations that say masks aren't mandatory, however.Really interesting article Dave. The viral load discussion has been going on for a while now and I’m no scientist but it seems to make logical sense
‘And even if some viral particles do get through, the viral dose will still be much smaller, so the person will be less likely to get seriously ill’
I know and understand why many want to have stricter national lockdown implemented but im still of the view that unless it’s to help avoid nhs capacity issues (which Id be 100% behind) there seems little point. The virus will continue to come in waves until a vaccine is found. Until then, wear masks in confined spaces, distance where possible and wash hands regularly. This will hopefully (again I’m no scientist) mean if/when you do get it it’s less likely to cause as significant illness. If you are higher risk and/or want to minimise chance of getting it full stop then obviously avoid going to busier places and only meet friends/family outdoors during peak spread (like now). For those that are more comfortable about it go about your ordinary business following the measures.
It’s been mentioned before about home transmission. I wonder if we will get to the point where people insist on wearing masks when visiting friends and relatives. Kind of makes sense to reduce spread/load and whilst I’m not a fan of wearing masks everywhere (I don’t see there is huge benefit unless in confined spaces - I still wear it though as it’s not worth taking the risk of passing stuff on) I think I would 100% keep it on if visiting any elderly/higher risk people I know.
Been back in the office since June and we have to wear them in communal areas but can sit at our desks without them - they’re used more in meeting rooms and corridors.It would be useful if a mask were helpful above all else.

How are things over in Italy now?Been back in the office since June and we have to wear them in communal areas but can sit at our desks without them - they’re used more in meeting rooms and corridors.
Other than wearing masks it’s pretty much back to normal, as I said I’ve been in the office since June and most workplaces and now back to normal as well.How are things over in Italy now?
How have Italy avoided what Spain and France are experiencing?Other than wearing masks it’s pretty much back to normal, as I said I’ve been in the office since June and most workplaces and now back to normal as well.
Masks have to be worn indoors and it’s actually properly enforced and people actually wear them.
Hancock caught blatantly lying again.
He should be made to chop one of his own fingers off live on air Yakuza style every time he gets caught bullshitting that might focus his mind on telling the truth to the people he's in office to serve.
How have Italy avoided what Spain and France are experiencing?
Italy % increase of cases from mid August is the same as ours just off a lower base. Italy have more cases per 100,000 than Sweden who seem to now have a flat line.
Hancock refused too acknowledge the Sweden cases are not rising compared to every other Europe country you look at which is more worrying than anything else.
Yeah, Sweden only gets talked about when things are looking shit there. They will probably have another spike at some point and then it will be all you hear about.
As I’ve said before though country comparisons are tricky:misleading. I think Sweden’s rate is probably easier to control due to number of single occupied households (40%) so the largest spread (in household) doesn’t happen. Its like South Korea is not a sensible comparison, by all means pick up useful tips but totally different culture (guessing far more law abiding) etc etc. Our comparables are some European countries, US etc but even they don’t really work ie US is so big (each state is like a different small country), so how on Earth do you control the spread ?!
It was never happening outside of a real lockdown but I wish supermarkets had operated a booking system for in-store shopping where you have a certain slot and they can actually control numbers, it's one thing that would have helped curb the virus quite a lot as people in shops don't seem to give a fuck about anyone

That announcement from Witty and Valance is a bit grim
