Oh, a Danish Mackem! Slikke min kærlighedspumpe.

Glad to see my prediction that Chelsea would be good and Liverpool would be crap this season has fallen at the first hurdle

Pubs are an easy target, which is why, I think, they’ve been so keen to get them open. Only a relatively small proportion of the population has been going to pubs since they reopened, with, generally, very good measures in place - cashless transactions, sign-in for track and trace, strict distancing ( generally). Pubs aren’t the source of this, the most obvious to me is supermarkets- no sign-ins, until a few days ago, no mandatory masks, totally disregarded distancing ages ago. Everyone needs to use them. This is where it’s spreading. But the big supermarket chains have more sway with the Torys than breweries, so they’ve been left alone.

Fuck off.

I think we're currently earlier in the wave than before last lockdown, despite the higher rates, which is a result of mass testing. I think you're completely wrong about the admission and death rates, which are actually quite high and will soon drastically increase imo. I don't get whats difficult to understand about exponential growth tbh. When the numbers with the virus are very low, doubling it will still result in a low prevalence. But then eventually the number becomes noticeable and boom, its too late. What's happening is entirely in line with what I would expect. Two things are important here, the R rate but also populatuon prevalence. The latter was very low after a SUCCESSFUL lockdown, now it's not. Numbers would have been increasing the moment the pubs reopened, we just didn't notice it.

Also, it’s funny that they’re all whining about being tracked and their data being sold… on fucking Twitter.

One of my mam’s uncles played alongside Bob Paisley for Bishop Auckland, winning the Amateur FA Cup in 1939 with him. His last words were “ Tell essembee -Fulwell End 1972, I was there!” * one of the above statements may be “alternative facts, covfefe”.

Nice.

Do you really want a full lockdown again? The government have fucked this up, don’t get me wrong, but we’re going to have to live alongside this virus for another year, potentially more. We can’t hibernate all winter. Getting the balance between keeping normal life going as much as possible while protecting public health is a massively difficult challenge for policymakers in counties all over the world.

Since the relaxation of the rules we've still only seen.a small number of people. I've been to the pub twice at most and then it was for a pint. We are having takeaways rather than sit in meals and our groceries are done via online. But yes,.locally you can see most people fucked it off ages ago. But it's all our fault not that cunt in charge and johnson.

I was reading that the main source of transmission is coming from households mixing. Hospitality is a tiny piece of the pie

Good point I think. I’ve avoided supermarkets at busy times since the relaxation of lockdown. Social distancing went completely out of the window and people weren’t wearing marks etc. It seems to have improved a bit, probably as people who haven’t gone full tin foil hat have had a fright with the rise in cases. But you still get people using the exemption excuse and who seem too impatient to observe social distancing.

I read somewhere that Sweden is 6x larger in area than the UK and the UK has a population 6x larger than Sweden. So social distancing and track and trace is much, much easier in Sweden vs the UK. My response to people that say "Sweden didn't have a lockdown and their death rate was tiny" is "Florida didn't have a proper lockdown and their death rate is fucking massive!" One exception doesn't make the rule and Sweden is a straw man argument for right wing idiots on Facebook

So in a nutshell, most people who die from COVID are over 80 so fuck em?

Where’s the shots of the back entrance?

What I find interesting about this whole 2nd wave is the angle that’s being punted throughout the MSM ( sorry Gloomy ), laying blame for it firmly at the door of the public. I firmly believe that a government led wholly by the scientific advice would’ve had this under much better control, by being far stricter in the first instance with their lockdown measures. Since they weren’t, as they were probably distracted by working out how they and their pals could hoover up some tidy profits from it, here we are facing a 2nd wave, with the same reluctance to stamp it out hard resulting in a far longer, and more economically damaging resurgence. But this time, it’s our fault, and I can guarantee that students and the young folk will be painted as the villains this time around- it’s already starting. Obvioulsy, these are just my musings on the whole shitshow, but even a basic bastard like me can see the simplicity of how to effectively deal with this. Stop the spread of the virus, by strict lockdown, and we’ll soon be safe on our lovely little island. I’m frankly amazed that the racist cunts haven’t jumped on this as an “oven ready” excuse to implement a 100% ban on filthy foreign types coming in to our sceptred isle, but as I said, they’ll be too busy making blood money out of it to realise their “principles” can be legitimised briefly. Rant over, as you were lads

It’s funny how the conspiracy nuts dismiss experts and scientists as “ all a part of it”, until one pops up that agrees with them, and then it’s “ listen to him, he knows what he’s talking about”. This isn’t a pop at you @wykikitoon, btw, irs aimed at the angry mentalists in the replies to that thread.

Fuck it. Let it run its course. The world is overpopulated and it’ll take out loads of cunts. Not really but it is tempting

Shocking! It’s a lottery as to whether you get a test easily or not.

Had my first COVID test this week. I'd spent the afternoon on an interview panel with someone who tested positive 2 days later. Mine came back negative fortunately

Brewcey, The Special Needs One.

That picture of him coked off his nut meeting Ben Arfa was funny though

I've got him on linkedin, I might ask him in a public post if he's stopped sucking cocks for baccy yet.

Did you win £5 ewerk?

World beating.....
