Granny Danger Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 We are hoping to have our son, his partner and our granddaughter down for a picnic a week on Saturday or Sunday weather permitting. Social distancing quite easy. My son’s partner asked me can she do the same on separate occasions with her mum/dad and sister. Im assuming that only two households means two households at one time and would not stop her doing similar separately. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took the antibody test today: negative. you haven't had the coronavirus or hadn't had the test result? The test was to determine whether he had already had the virus or not. He hadn't. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

effeffsee_the2nd Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 This continued social distancing is completely impractical for the medium to long term. Either something is safe or it isnt. Once you allow some things but not others, or in this case allow things with ( unenforceable ) conditions, we in the western world have a habbit of getting so far then saying “ ah tae f**k wi it , whit difference will it make doing X when we are already doing A,B,C,D Y ,&Z “ especially if the cases stay stable after restrictions are eases.people don’t like change and they resist it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 As a selfish, cunty, Pringle-clad fanny golfer, clearly, the only thing that matters to me is being able to play golf, so fcuk the elderly and those with underlying health issues... but on a more serious note, and in my book, this applies to the media, Tories, SNP, the boy scouts, the Tufty Club, anyone.... I wish to fcuk there was a law against anyone using the phrase ‘new normal’. Please, in the name of anything, make them insert the word ‘temporary’ in front of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At my age I intend to be cautious. I've no idea what I'll do when the all clear is given. I'm 'fortunate' that I am deaf. When someone speaks it is just a noise to me. The louder they shout the louder the noise. So I am totally unsociable and I much prefer to be on my own. This is my 9th/10th week (I cannae remember) being isolated. As long as I have my computer (two of them) plus my amazon firestick and my chromecast in the back of my smart tv then I'll survive. Hopefully. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just about taking sensible precautions. If enough people do they'll be able to lower the restrictions more quickly. If not we're back in lockdown.

(Outdoor work) I think that factories is in phase 2. (Non office work) However most of construction work involves assembling things that were made in factories. Doesn't quite go hand in hand with one another. Am I right here? (I appreciate she couldn't go gung ho and have everything open up next week, but construction will be difficult with nothing to construct) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badgerthewitness Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I was lying. I took the antibody test* and I'm now being pursued by the authorities, on suspicion of stealing vital medical equipment. *The test was intended for Captain Tom. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, that's not right. NS explicitly said that unless you were involved in the fight against Covid-19 then you should close. Hence why factories are included in the lockdown exit document. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right with that. But building sites are required to be kept clean and tidy and have little manufactured products lying around on site that could present a hazard. There will be some gear on the sites ready to go up, but there won't be 3 weeks worth (at least there shouldn't be!) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that not advisory rather than a legal instruction? Lots of businesses have kept going without being directly involved, working at home if possible etc. Edited May 21, 2020 by welshbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
