D.A.F.C Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Why are you painting that as "reality" when there is literally nothing to point to that being the case? The entire world is working on treatments and vaccines, we are governed by people who have absolutely no intention of letting business and industry suffer more than they believe it absolutely needs to, and the population simply will not accept long term restrictions and the destruction of their way of life for a virus most people do not perceive as being all that risky. What you are doing is literally fear mongering because your version of events (we live like this for years) makes absolutely no sense. Total Helen Lovejoy stuff. 18-24 months is the usual course of a pandemic. People need to accept that life won't be the same for that period. Its not the end of the world just live differently and think of others instead of yourself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Please can we remain on topic about Bob Hoskins. This was a cracking film he was in, builds hope then ends in utter bleak desolation. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120391/Smee for me Honourable mention to Who Framed Roger Rabbit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A wee hint at things heading that direction perhaps, looking at the BBC Scotland news website just now.....Despite yesterday being the highest number of infections so far in the whole thing, they're leading with some story about 'Post Office Miscarriages of Justice', and some daft woman from Aberdeen who has loads of Eminem tattoos. The less Coronavirus appears in the news, the less the general population will be conscious of it / bother with it. We're probably all a bit Corona-weary now, and eventually that will lead to us edging, bit-by-bit to a more normal way of life. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not the end of the world just live differently and think of others instead of yourself.The absolute truth is pretty simple:It's a c**t of a situation.The powers that be are making a c**t of everything.But I'm glad I'm not in their tartan baffies.I have the highest of doubts that they are deliberately trying to screw us all. They are just incompetent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is about 40 years old though so if you don’t want to see Bob and his girlfriend Helen Mirren being snatched by separate IRA murder squads and driven off in opposite directions don’t click on the vid.

Consensus seems to be the first peak was about 4 times higher than measured - some say much more - so we're nowhere near that level, but we probably are back in early-mid March or so. It should spread much slower because of distancing, masks, working from home, slightly smaller susceptible population etc but there's no doubt we're at a crossroads. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madwullie Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Next time @Todd_is_God goes away, we should get Karl Sikora to guest in the thread for a bit. It's all a bit doom and gloom atm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all a bit doom and gloom atm There was a lady from Glasgow Caledonian University (IIRC) on Radio Scotland the other day. She said their research said COVID 19 is now just a seasonal bug, we have reached herd immunity and that we should just forget about it and get on with our lives. I'm not a scientist so can offer no opinion either way on this. John Beattie sounded a bit surprised at it though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itzdrk Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 One of my pals got tested at a drive in place along with their partner at the weekend as she had symptoms when they woke in the morning. He says that he had none (so he shouldn't have booked a test but that's beside the point for now). She was negative and he was positive and their results didn't even arrive on the same day, seems a bit odd to a thicko like myself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 The holiday "quarantine" / "self isolation" thing seems a bit bizarre now considering our 14 day cumulative total is sitting at 102 but the likes of Portugal is sitting at only 92 ?? I've also just read that the ECDC don't see any great threat with either airports or air travel and their extensive risk assessments have concluded that the risk is minimal and no greater than any other busy situation such as a bar / restaurant / workplace or public transport. Maybe then we should stop telling people not to take holidays abroad and the half witted social media brigade should stop attempting to "shame" people for taking a bloody holiday. https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/covid-19/facts/questions-answers-travel 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
